  1. I am becoming a bit obsessed with these things. Fascinated by how quickly they grow.
  2. Not exactly what I was expecting to see at St. James' today. Newly promoted Southampton came with a game plan that included getting under our skins. Very surprised that our players allowed that to happen. Have they turned into self entitled prima donna's already? Looked like it until the sending off. Schar of all people, cost no money, couldn't get a game under Bruce, but has since gone on to prove himself a genuine EPL player and held his own in the Champions League. Allowed that Cameron Diaz or whatever her name is to stitch him up like a kipper. Reality check time I think. 3 points though
  3. The Dubliners did a great version. Sinead 0' Conner did just as good. Oro Se do Bheatha Bhaile. Welcome.
  4. Probably the 1st sensible thing that you have ever posted
  5. Trying to correct my comment. Probably not correct. It's complicated and confusing.
  6. In regard to parents or old family members. Big mistake I made: Do not pay money into their bank accounts. When they are sane it gives them some sense of security when going over their "papers". When they loose their minds they get no help until every penny that they have is taken.
  7. On closer inspection these fungi are growing on a tree stump that had been cut at ground level. Illustrates my lack of observation of these days and Arry's expert knowledge.
  8. Land that used to be quite boggy farmland before being developed and built on over last 40 years or so. Not wooded in my lifetime. But Googled it based on your ID and looks like you're spot on. Edible but not that palatable it would seem. Thank you.
  9. Any idea what these are? Must be edible as I gave some to my neighbours a few days ago and they're still out there in their garden full of wind chimes and LED lighting listening to Adele albums. I hope it rains soon.
  10. This what you need. The 1st machine of this type that I used, on hammer drill not breaker, no tool familiarisation training given and a skinny youth weak as water, 1st time it jammed (no clutch) would have broke my arm if it hadn't lifted me of the ground. Happy days
  11. Not sure if we're allowed to say tranny now, think it's LCV.
  12. Put your dog in the boot and he's overjoyed to see you when reach the destination and let him out. Try that with the wife and it's nothing but winge, winge, winge.
  13. I listened to Sinead O'Conner's Remberings recently. Jesus Christ, poor child, more sinned against than a sinner in my opinion. Anyway, a singing coach that she went to told her that you have to sing in your own accent to properly sing a song. Easier said than done I would imagine for someone who had the world at her feet, pop star record company sort of thing. Listening to her voice I get it. Same with lots of traditional Irish or British music. Punk was similar in my opinion. Off on a tangent in Remberings, a very devout person she was, she said God existed before religion, religi
  14. Reading that reminded me of the comedian Brendan Healy: Have you noticed that wherever you go in the world you find a Geordie? Now, don't get me wrong, I love our accent, but if I'm being honest there are times I'd be a bit worried if I heard a Geordie accent; "norse, scalpel... " or "yiz all alreet? This is ye captain speakin, the day wi ganna be flying it aboot 38 thoosand feet... "
  15. Back in day, the day being 1980's is it was not unusual for dog lads to keep odd things in a freezer, some common some not so common. Everyone was skint and anything that could be done to earn a few bob was done. In our "community" a few lads had taught themselves the art of taxidermy by stealing books from the library. Why they did not just join the library and borrow the books I never understood but that was just how things were done. Most dog lads seemed have houses full of stuffed animals back then. Not to my taste but I could appreciate the finer works however some were hilariously b
  16. I did once see a bob cat or lynx that had been caught in Hawick, Scotland. It was in a chest freezer when I saw it. Along with many adders. The adders were caught in the wild then put in bottles alive, transported home, then put in the freezer to kill them. Then sold on to be stuffed. The contorted shapes of those frozen adders bothered me.
  17. This big cat thing, FFS! There have been and are big cats in the wild in GB. Are there breeding populations, don't be daft.
  18. You Liverpool Astanley? New unproven manager. An ageing squad. See yous flirting with relegation next season if I'm being honest.
  19. I've doubled the stake this year, £2 on every bet. This time next year Rodney...
  20. And Blackburn in regard to EPL. Dreams can come true.
  21. I've placed my 4 usual bets, the only ones that I put on with a bookie. Newcastle to win the league, Newcastle to win the FA Cup, Newcastle to win League Cup and an accumulator of all 3. Worst odds they've given me it 20 odd year!
  22. I have zero knowledge and have never tried to gain any knowledge of the Banksy enigma/art movement... but the monkeys, brilliant piece of art! Love it!
  23. EPL starts next week. How best to punish the despised white working class males that you haven't locked up? Take their beloved football from them, postpone all games for "security concerns", if anyone else steps out of line.I would image plans are being made already.
