Fascinating. Not too many beautiful women around these days. Where have you seen this?

Neighbours posting Christmas cards through my letter box despite the fact that in all the time I have lived in the street I have never once posted a Christmas card through any of their letter boxes... absolute c**ts!

Back to the thread... not appreciating what you had until it's gone.

Re North Shield fish quay, the period between it becoming redundant and derelict and then reborn, often took the dogs. For rats, not many to be honest and very difficult to bolt. But there was a canny population of feral cats at the time.

North Shields quayside yesterday

That's fine, it was directed to northerners not soft shandy drinking southern b*****ds, no offence intended.

Make sure that you make an official compliant. There will be a policy in place in order to do that even if they say otherwise. Not much help to you at the moment but stop the "computer says no" culture. Incompetent, often part time admin people, are the tail wagging the dog these days. Everyone in a business/organisation is accountable for their failure to follow procedure, I know this as a systems manager, ironically.

People walking round wrapped up like fractured skulls due to the slightly inclement weather. With the demeanor of a person walking the final walk.

Went down a DVLA online wormhole a few years ago. Still had paper, and the address was from many years ago. Changing address was easy, but needed data that only modern driving licenses have. So was not possible. So used the online portal to get a modern face recognition license. Easy enough until address input. Long story short... I could get a new license with the old wrong address but could not update my home address until I had the new license. Got sorted easily enough after about an hour and a half of testing their reserve and a human being eventually answered to phone.

All sorted for E's and Wizz at the Christmas disco.

Probably different eras and chicken tikka did not exist then. One of my 1st jobs was assisting an uncle who worked as driver/minder for lasses performing their acts in clubs. He was ex miner but clever and made a bit and got out. A very competent boxer and ended up running a club teaching lads. Being an ex pitman his back was f****d and that's where I came in. The girls would be picked at their home and dropped off safe and sound after the gig. My job would be to carry their bag. My uncle was cool as f**k, hard as nails, very rarely got involved on the day. Someone throwing a pint o

Someone owns it, and there will be reasons why they are not living there, or have not flipped for an easy profit. In France/Spain the families inheriting such places do a little hard work and sell them as viable homes.

You threw your pint over her? FFS?

There is always that aspect to contend with. In the past I've been given boots that needed a hammer taken to them and soaked in polish for a week before wearing them but they still wrecked your feet. I make sure the boots we issue are comfortable to wear straight out the box. But I will get a call, such and such (usually an apprentice) has left his boots on site and forgot he going to another site after college. Can I order him a new pair? NO!

Gnipper, lads shouldn't be having to buy their own PPE or workwear. I know it depends on your companies attitude, and sounds like they are issuing something, but it needs to be fit for purpose. They have a legal duty of care under HSAW Act 1974. Maybe have a diplomatic word with a supervisor or manager? I happy workforce is a productive workforce I know not all companies take this sort of thing seriously and can regard those who speak up as trouble makers, but shouldn't be happening in 2025. The more expensive better quality stuff usually proves more cost effective in the long run anyway.

No... when shagging the girlfriend at the time I was distracting my mind to naming the 1966 England World Cup winning starting 11.

Remember the blond Shake n Vac women in 1980's TV ads? Spitting dabs of the girlfriend's mother at the time, fancied them both. MILF I believe is the current term, now more like... "If I was 20 years younger"

I'll see your Border and raise you a 15+ year old Russell. Those diffuser things don't stand a chance.

I may get them dried outside tomorrow... just checked the weather forecast.

Going off on a bit of a tangent but some social commentary on people's attitude as to how they dress in the workplace these days. I've spent most of my working life in construction, starting as a labourer, getting a trade and then into management. We have an office dress code, as most places do of course, a minimum of collared shirt, no jeans, no trainers and a business suite in meetings when appropriate. I have never had a problem with this. Spending a little time on Sunday afternoons ironing shirts and polishing shoes for the week ahead, rather than being a chore, gave a certain sense of ach

Jacket fits well but needs a moleskin waistcoat to complete.

Pleased with my recent purchases from House of Bruar. Going for a Toad of Toad Hall look these days. Toot toot went mr. Eastcoast.

Lets See Them Whippets, Coarsing, Racing, Working

I'm no expert but wouldn't worry about tape measures if you're wanting a whippet to do what whippets do. -
That's how far we advanced in a few years mr. Charts. Not long ago the only reason to watch Newcastle was in the hope that Maxi would create some magic, now we see it all over the pitch week in, week out. Winning a cup and playing in the Champions League, long may it continue.
