I consider it “educated”, not “attacked”. Sometimes you need to be cruel to be kind Cheers.

I’m off now to support my local hunt Play nicely lads. HH and Gunter; take it easy on my pal mC, I don’t want this to descend into bullying Cheers.

Max asked me about him and I said he’s a nice lad, a character, but misguided, dont cancel any plans to take him up on his offers of matches Cheers.

What is it you don’t understand ? I…DON’T …CARE ! Are you REALLY so naive they you can’t see that Halfhound is playing you like a trout; Gunter is having great fun winding you up, and you bite EVERY time. No one is talking about you on Moochers, in fact no one is talking about ANYTHING on Moochers Its getting embarrassing, mate Cheers

Cheers.

I don’t even understand what you’re wanting to bet about ? Maybe an old pit row house in Hull in 1970 could be bought for £1100, I don’t know. I bought my first house in 1982 and it cost £33,000 and the bank loan was repayable at £300 a month. As I said earlier , the house was rented out for 20 years for more than repayments so I basically got a house for free. I really don’t know why you are arguing with people who were buying houses, paying mortgages etc before you were born . Cheers.

I just don’t know why he must mention me ? He never believes anything I say, even if I lived it Cheers.

Why do you keep mentioning me ? I was living and working in Saudi Arabia from ‘78 to ‘04 and was registered as a Non-Domicile for tax purposes. My situation had no baring on anything you are saying. I couldn’t care less about your bets…they are just like your matches, pointless, as they will never materialise Cheers.

I’d need to be Leslie Welch, The Memory Man , (now there’s a name to have all the young ‘uns rushing to Google), to remember all the challenges mC has thrown out Cheers.

I honestly think it’s as simple as Starmer when asked if the US could use UK/US bases had just said yes. He refused, to appease his left wing and Muslim vote. He could have just told them that they are joint bases and we wouldn’t be using them to attack iran but the Americans would. The left and Muslims hate Trump so much it wouldn’t have made much difference, but once again Starmer has shown a complete lack of political guile . Cheers.

I can only speak from personal experience. Early 50’s we were moved out of the slum tenements in Newcastle and into new build council estates. We didn’t own the slum tenements, they were rented off slum landlords like Rachman, and pulled down. I would assume the council or government paid compensation to the landlords, but I’ve never heard of anyone selling their own house and being given a council houses. My parents and my two brothers took advantage of Thatchers “Right To Buy” scheme, my brothers still live in theirs, but my parents who bought theirs, thinking it was someth

It was also a time when horizons were expanding , both physically and metaphorically; in my early years a “holiday” might be a street “charabanc” trip to a local beach, then along came Billy Butlin and his holiday camps, and then suddenly the wonders of overseas trips. My older brother was the first of us, he went on a school trip to Ireland and managed to meet some of our distant cousins. I was next when I went on a school trip to Belgium. Imagine that, a young boy walking about in a foreign country, the sights and sounds ! With the little pocket money I had, I bought my mum a

Judging by some of the replies from others, my school time was fairly mundane and uneventful, no teacher beat me up or raped me, I didn’t get into any fights with the staff or partook in any riots, and this was at a particularly “hard” council estate school. Maybe it’s because I’ve always had, and still have, a strange liking for taking exams, doing courses and have an inquisitive mind. But as my school time was during the 50’s and 60’s, it was a very exiting time to be young, the country was recovering from the war, rationing had just about stopped, slums were being cleared and we were m

If I was wanting a pup, this one would be in my kennel now Looks like it’s thrown to the sire. Cheers.

I used to think the sword was mightier than the pen , but have come to believe the pen can be just as cutting….. Cheers. -

I chose to use “Victorian” synonyms for a cad, rather than the “Anglo-Saxon” so as not to sound to harsh in my condemnation. Cheers. -

chartpolski replied to gunter's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
I didn’t realise I’d been away Ive had a busy time and being on here isn’t exactly at the top of my list of priorities. Spring is here, plants to be planted, poultry to be paired up, runs to be repaired / renewed/ repainted, etc. Lots to keep me busy Cheers. -

It’s just my personal opinion , but PM’s should NEVER be posted on open forum! The clue is in the name; PRIVATE MESSAGE ! I consider it the action of a blackguard, a scoundrel, a knave Cheers. -
I believe Farage attempted to reverse the decline when he championed Brexit. That the establishment refused to fully implemented it wasn’t his fault, but now he is in parliament and a possible Prime Minister, he will be in a position to attempt to fully implement Brexit and reverse the other causes of the countries decline. Im willing to give him the chance rather than what you appear to want and block him and have even worse than we have now . I honestly can’t see why you won’t at least give him the opportunity and resort to sarcasm and tamely accepting the inevitable far left alterna
-
Yes , it would “hasten the chaos” probably to a point where no government could retrieve the situation . Id much prefer a government that could halt the “managed decline” policy of today’s politicians , and vote in a government that would attempt to implement “managed renewal “ than hope for a Lowe like saviour to magically step in and change things overnight, that’s not going to happen. If Lowe IS that saviour, it will take years, just like it’s taken Farage years to get to a point where he has a decent chance of taking power. Advocating the destruction of the country just because y

Yet you appear to be happy with a triumvirate of Kier Starmer, Ed Davey and Zac Polanski running the country just because your prefered choice has no chance and can’t contemplate a party that will use Tory defectors to help it win ? “ cutting off one’s nose to spite your face” comes to mind OK, mate, I’m out, at least for now Cheers.
-
You know that’s just nonsense and by promulgating it just moves us nearer to a far left government. Come on mate, you’re better than that Cheers.
-
You think it’s extremely wishful thinking that Reform can win the election ? Or that by taking in Tory defectors won’t bring in Tory voter with them ? I honestly don’t understand your reply. Cheers.

Wilf, one of my favourite films is “Lawrence Of Arabia”, ( who would have thought that ), and in one scene Lawrence rides into the Arab Revolt camp surrounded by his bodyguards, a rabble of brigands and murderers. Sharif Ali, asks “ what is this Lawrence ? They are murderers and mercenaries who have no inerest in anything but plunder”. Lawrence replies “ yes , but they will help US achieve OUR aims !” I see a similarity with Farage and his Tory carpet baggers Cheers.

What’s the alternative? Its not Restore at the moment. And no, I don’t think Farage has sold out, he needs 326 MP’ s to form a majority government, if that means taking on board some, even quite a few , Tories, that’s OK with me as long as they are a minority to the genuine Reform MP’s. Ive said it many times, to form a majority government any party needs to win over the “middle ground “ voters. Farage is doing that, as is Polanski. The Conservatives are finished, Reform are the only alternative to a Labour/LibDen/Green coalition, so , if you and others keep working against a Re
