I had a visit this week from a work colleague based in our head office from down in that there London. I mentioned electrical discrimination, which is basically if you get a fault on a lighting circuit then only the circuits' protective device will trip and the rest of the installation will not be effected. He informed me that the preferred term is now selectivity not discrimination as no form of discrimination is acceptable. He wasn't being a dick, just educating me on something that I should have already been aware of. I am not making this up. He also told me that down in that there Lon

Only species of proper shark that I have seen in real life are Blue sharks. Proper by my definition being true predators, Whale and Basking sharks are pathetic sharks, shark vegans almost. Caught plenty dog fish species, love them, but the Blues are beautiful things. Not proper sharks even, not big enough to eat people, but lovely and shark enough to appreciate. On a boat catching them, not swimming with them.

Schar winding up their young left back at every opportunity. Trying get a reaction but at the same time educating the young lad in the dark arts. Then a team mate getting carded trying to protect him. Loved it.

I recorded Covers in the Piano Room at the BBC and have just listened to it.The musicians probably top of their game. The guest singers, ditto. The songs? No doubt some of the best ever written. But what a load of soul less energy sapping pretentious shite. Hear better renditions of some of those songs when a drunk grabs the mike at the end of the night. String section? To be used sparingly if at all for those songs.

I've always been fascinated by sharks, the proper ones, the ones that will eat you. Get pissed off with the people who make carefully orchestrated documentaries when they swim with Great Whites or Tiger's trying to give them good PR and portray as just misunderstood and harmless. 100% agree we should not be killing them, but they regard us as prey and eat us. Cool things.

So you wont keep another ferret or dog? That's what you think Thank you for your interesting posts, always liked them.

My very basic understanding is that in the UK an employer must provide a workplace pension and they contribute into it, so he hopefully he already has one. The employee then pays in a fixed minimum contribution unless requests to contribute more. For a young person it would probably be better to pay into an ISA rather than increased pension payments simply because your ISA money can be withdrawn at any time. In a pension it is tied up for the long term, but has more growth. The big thing is paying the mortgage off. The banks will always charge you more interest on a mortgage than the

If a lurcher needs another type of dog to find and present its game to it, is that dog a lurcher? Whippets and greyhounds are the best at catching stuff.

Magic beans will never depreciate in value, and the Emperor's new clothes will never go out of fashion.

Perhaps she had been stirring things with the wrong sorts of people?

Gold? I refer you Gordon Brown, one time Chancellor of the Exchequer. Unfortunately not many people are as stupid as he was... Rachel Reeves is having a go though.

True, no need to panic as that's how these things work. I have made changes recently into how I save my hard earned money. Sod's Law. Lucky to have some to save though.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but for anyone with personal or company pensions who has not checked the growth this month brace yourselves. Big drop in the pots since February. All down to Donald Trump's shenanigans apparently.

I thought a Foxback stamp. Not that I know the person or his dogs, just from seeing pictures on here. Cracking looking types for work.

I watched the Manchester derby today. United and City being 2 of the greatest clubs in the EPL era. Absolute dross from both of them. It really is a funny old game.

I remember him. Remember my man and dad loving him. Seemed odd at the time as he was a "coloured" gentleman. When it comes to sport and winning medals... all are appreciated.

Lost all interest after the Waterloo Cup was taken away from us. The Grand National was a side show run up to the cup.

Another one that came to mind on seeing this thread... Frank Bruno winning a heavyweight title in 1995. People may scuff, and young lads may not know that no British boxer had held the title in that century. Lennox Lewis had a belt but he had not won it in the ring. Went the distance, when the words were said AND THE NEW, HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD! we partied like it was 1999.

Not a great historical moment but on reading the topic title David Beckham's free kick against Greece in a 2002 World Cup qualifier came to mind. We needed a point for automatic qualification. 1-2 down at 90+ minutes and everyone was accepting a play-off place when Beckham took the free kick from outside 18 yard box. When the ball hit the back of the net the euphoric celebrations were as though we had won the World Cup! Obviously we didn't go on to actually win the cup. Another memory from that day. Watched the game in the Adelphi pub in Newcastle with a friend who also the managing dire

Newcastle's current midfield are a joy to watch. I hate to see players getting the ball and then look up to decide what to do with it. Looking at their team mates to say "who wants it?". Often resulting in a side or back pass. Bruno and Tonali read the game a second before the mere mortals around them see it. Sean Longstaff is terrible for it. In his defence, the Newcastle sides that he has played in and managers he has played under during his formative years would play most of the game without the ball. In possession players were terrified to lose it, and losing possession would bring mo

The Parson John Russell came across the the most perfect terrier that he had ever seen, and he purchased that terrier, and that dog's name was Trump. Can we all just calm down a little bit?
-
I agree with all that you have written. My point was, Tonali will become one of the greats, hopefully at Newcastle, but he will do it. That goal was not a fluke. Zen like
