  1. Talk of a civil war? FFS we had one, a thing which resulted in the rest of the developed world taking note. The English Civil War defined the world. Our civil war was not about rights for the people, it was about those who had the power defining who had what. The American War of Independence was not about giving rights to the new American citizens, it was businessmen who started to believe that they could create a new country, and have no need to pay taxes to their old country, and get stupidly rich. Which happened. End of the day, the generals have the real power, last seen in England in 17
  2. Nothing wrong with a .22 rimfire. Having one dressed up in stupid clothes can also inspire the younger intake
  3. .410 flavour. Great guns for starting a youngster. Some disagree using the logic that kills are more difficult to achieve than with a larger bore but once proficient with a .410 using a 12 bore is a piece of piss. I know a chap who got into shooting late in life and has money to burn. Bought a megga expensive shotgun and paid for lessons. He's the worst shot that I've ever seen, even feel sorry for him at times. Often think that if he had been taught to shoot using a .410 on ferreted rabbits he would not be as bad as he is.
  4. The generic street mongrel? Usually described as lab x collie or lab x Alsation, even though there were very few pure collies, labs or GSD's about Still made good hunting dogs though for kids with nothing else to use. 1 of the best old fashioned type find and catch lurchers that I've known was result of a mate putting 1 of "our" black collie mongrels over 1 of his dad's non-ped whippets. He was the perfect dog to find game in places that game had no right to still be existing and knew not to rely on speed to catch it. If it was there, he'd find it, and often catch it.
  5. Bad form by some Crystal Palace fans not respecting the minutes silence for Diogo Jota and his brother at the Community Shield today. Quite rightly pointed out and criticised by the pundits on TNT Sport. However 5 minutes before that no mention whatsoever was made of very vocal Liverpool fans clearly booing of our national anthem! So that's considered acceptable these days?
  6. I will never fully understand people adding water to whiskey and expecting a better whiskey.
  7. £229.00 at Curry's yesterday. Had done bit of online search last week and could have got slightly cheaper but an impulse buy when walking past the shop. Was worth it to take the young salesman apart in front a big queue when he was desperately trying to sell me extended insurance. When he said "once you take it out of the box you are not covered" a more experienced colleague intervened and gave me £29.00 off for cash sale to get rid of me.
  8. Most people seem to have 1 of these so I'm a bit late to the party but got 1 yesterday. Mostly cook for 1 these days and getting a bit lazy, fresh veg = too many pots and cleaning etc. Chips tend to be oven ready, a blasphemous thing to say on here I know. Purchased to give the home made chips thing a try as can no longer be bothered with deep fryer and chucked the chip pan out years ago due to H&S. Fresh veg without all the pans would be a bonus. Tried air frying sausages yesterday, good quality sausages. They were definitely cooked and edible but without the lovely sausaginess that
  9. There was not a banksman before the incident. A functional working environment that had a traffic management plan in place. That failed. Now they have banksmen, for the duration of our works anyway.
  10. Something to have a laugh at, particularly from the the lads who believe that they are crucified by H&S in construction in the UK. Behold, this is what some of my lads need to wear on one of our jobs. Long story short, some idiot drove his machine into electrical containment. I would get sacked if too much information was given so keeping it brief. After a month of back and forth, due to the location and function of the location it was agreed to carry out the work. My previso? Full arc flash PPE must be worn. I have carried out similar work many times over the years. The fa
  11. Great job! An "inactive badger set", no such thing at one time. Is common sense a thing again? No matter, well done to the lads with the real knowledge and skills.

    RADAR and the RAF. They were the most important walls that he built around his family home.
  13. With all due respect it's the usual summer pantomime season. Probably, but, no smoke without fire. What has Iask said, who did he say it to, and when did he say it? Many "journalists" are paying their utility bills this summer by repeating hearsay but if anyone had any actual proof then they would have cashed it in and and covered their winter bills. But no one has. Missing Glasgow, and the current pre-season? I believe that this is the club, driven by Eddie Howe, protecting the kid from all this nonsense and letting him get his head together for the new season wearing the black and white
  14. Of course. Wealthy Arabs own NUFC, and they like the bonniest marbles.
  15. I didn't know that Isak had the recorded strongest shot in the EPL, that's why it's always worth logging on here. If that's true, and he kicks weaker than a girl? f**k him, let Liverpool have him.
