  1. Have a bit of a fascination for industrial buildings and in particular a lot of the old brick built buildings that I guess were built by the MoD around the time of WW2. Always wonder about the sights, sounds and smells of these old places back in their day, and all the people and characters that went through them. In the years since the war many of these MoD/military facilities would have been sold off and the buildings turned over to small businesses etc. Some near me have been demolished and replaced with new factories and business units. Can’t help thinking that’s a pity.
  2. Is that an ex-goose? You’re in North America right? Have you seen much in the way of bird flu. I was on the Norfolk Broads a month or so ago, seen a few dead or dying swans, and the numbers of greylags and swans around Wroxham looked to be completely decimated compared to other times I’ve visited. Shame.
  3. Crows are an absolute fascination. We had a few fledglings kicking around a few months back, my missus was feeding them out the kitchen window. She’d whistle and they’d appear. Was getting ridiculous as whenever someone was in the kitchen they’d come and make a racket expecting a feed. Had another one peck the top of the cover over the rotary drier. Bought a new one and the bugger has nearly destroyed that one too. Christ knows why it does it.
  4. Good video that. Reckon animals are often a lot smarter than we give them credit for. My guess is a wolf watched the trap being set and went to investigate once it was unattended. A lot of critters will associate humans with food opportunities. A wolf might also be able to smell a fishy bait, even if it was underwater.
  5. Member of two of my all time favourite bands. RIP legend.
  6. AI videos in general, but seen loads of cats chasing off bears, tigers etc. Why? What is the fcuking point?
  7. John Fury and the seemingly endless back and forth slagging matches with a couple of old sted heads. Grown men ffs.., cringeworthy doesn’t even begin.
  8. See y’all in North America next year
  9. Joshua to fight Jake Paul in December.., after which I’d expect him to retire as he’s clearly given up on fighting for a world title. I’d say “why” but I suppose that, even if you’re already worth a couple of mill, if someone’s going to offer you another £50m to fight someone you should be able to beat in your sleep, well then it’s a no brained. Would love to see Joshua knock him out cold inside a minute and give a fright and a reality check to the sport and to the arseholes serving this shite up as boxing.
  10. Reckon I’d do it for £250k tax free.

    Reform

    And that was for a relatively overt bias. The BBC and all MSM is guilty of a more subtle bias against Trump…, like he’s some unhinged racist & sexist despot and whilst they demonise him it’s almost overlooked the fact that he’s the democratically elected POTUS.
  12. I knew a simple soldier boy Who grinned at life in empty joy, Slept soundly through the lonesome dark, And whistled early with the lark. In winter trenches, cowed and glum, With crumps and lice and lack of rum, He put a bullet through his brain. No one spoke of him again. You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye Who cheer when soldier lads march by, Sneak home and pray you'll never know The hell where youth and laughter go
  13. Won’t name the individual but I used to regularly see a member of the aristocracy in a supermarket close to where I was working, the chap was well on in years by now, cutting about in a very old land rover, smoke belching out the back…, he’d be wearing filthy jeans and an old parka and would make the average tramp look well turned out. Not sure his (families) net worth but it’d be in the hundreds of millions. Heard his son recently sold a single (JW Turner) painting from their collection for > £30million. What’s that saying about books and their covers. For a lot these days, and particula
  14. We’ve had a couple of frosts but very mild for this time of year. Still a few leaves yet to turn and loads still on the trees. Loads of wasps still kicking about too.
  15. How some people get all bent out of shape about a perceived lack of gay men playing senior football, and inferring prejudice within the game is the cause.., but say nothing about what must be a disproportionate amount of gay women in the women’s game. Same as we frequently hear that there aren’t enough opportunities in the game for black managers, when in proportion to the population they’re probably fairly represented, whereas percentage wise black players at senior level are massively over-represented. All the ‘isms are one way streets.
  16. Rumours that William Is the driving force for this, not a bad move for his future getting as much distance as possible from the former paedo prince. Is it a pre-emptive move.., is there more to come out? Not and never have been a royalist, but no issues with those that want to retain one.., although the nutters that fawn over them want their heads looked at.
  17. Face tattoos. What the fcuk would make anyone want to do that. Tattoos in general are pretty shite…, I’d say less than 1% are an improvement on bare skin and that I’d maybe consider getting myself. Most look like cheap bad graffiti.
  18. If that’s who I think it is, the parents are an even bigger pair of arseholes than the kids. Whole lot of them talentless b*****ds given a leg up because of the colour of their skin. Just my opinion.
  19. Maybe not a great football moment, but believe it was one of the best punches thrown in a post-match interview.
  20. Maybe. This wee guy must be at it…, fcuking sure I would’ve been at 12 getting ripped into my teacher and the police free of charge.
  21. The actual amount of recoverable oil in the North sea is guesswork to a large extent. I believe the ‘additional’ 1.1Bn barrels is a revised estimate. What may be ‘actual’ reserves have been a feature in the game of cat and mouse operators and governments have played around taxation since it was discovered in the 70’s. The additional pawn is the pressure governments are under to phase out fossil fuels, and now how this has been done by high taxation and restricted exploration meaning the industry is teetering on the precipice of a rapid and irreparable decline. The Scottish government in partic
  22. I think he’s funny. Different strokes etc.
  23. This guy knows…, 85% of you have got to go…
