  1. Had a morning shooting rats at the allotments, Now listening to the match on the radio in the man cave. Got YouTube coursing videos on the tv in the background and this pops up ! Fair do’s a good watch Cheers.
  2. I worry about them, Iran has just hit Riyadh, but my family are in Jeddah, but they live within sight of one of the biggest air bases in the Middle East. I lived out there for 26 years and was there for both Gulf Wars and worked on that base, but to be honest never really felt in danger, but who knows, if it escalates? Cheers,
  3. Is it Doxhope ? Or Cooklands ? Same breeding really, Trevor Cook took on Billy Doherty’s stock. Good, working type deerhounds. Cheers.
  4. Stick to winding Max up on Moochers, you’ve got more chance of a bite there Cheers.
  5. A pure deerhound from the 1910’s; A deerhound/greyhound from the 2010’s; A deerhound/greyhound from the 2020’s; And NO , I didn’t own the first one Cheers.
  6. Why do you keep mentioning me ? I’ve no interest in meeting you. Im getting all the running I want up here. Max’s bitch has just had pups, as you know. Anyhow, the seasons about over now . Cheers.
  7. Who’s surprised ? The US has been building up assets in the area for months . Once the two carrier groups were in place it was obvious it would start. My daughter in law and grandson were due to come here for the school holidays but have just cancelled as civilian air space is being closed all across the Middle East. Cheers.
  8. To paraphrase Monty Pythons; “ Is he dead ?”……”well, he was coughing up blood last night !”. Cheers.
  9. Reform were the only “right of centre “ party on the ballot. I don’t class the Tories as right of centre , but they only got 1 1/2% of the vote. I’m assuming Tory voters moved en masse to Reform, Advance got less votes than the Raving Loony Party, so I’m guessing any right wing voter who was thinking of voting for Habibs party had second thoughts and voted Reform. Reform doubled their vote from 18 months ago. So, far from splitting the right vote, they actually United it. I understand you hate Farage and Reform, but what was the alternative ? Id rather vote for a p
  10. Wilf, 47% turnout is huge for a by election. It’s the same turnout they had for the general election. Cheers.
  11. Again , how did Reform split the vote ? They didn’t, as I said in my previous post. Cheers.
  12. How are Reform splitting the vote ? The Tories lost their deposit, getting only around 1 1/2% of the votes . Even if every Tory voter had voted Reform, it still wouldn’t have been enough. Advance were absolutely dismal, getting only around 150 votes. Reform doubled their vote from the 2024 election, meaning, in my mind, they United the right vote. They were beaten because Gorton is 46% Muslim and Denton is 6% Muslim and they voted as a block with other left wing Gaza supporters . No, Reform didn’t split the vote, they were beaten by a left wing party in a constituency that
  13. James Earl Jones, in “Conan The Barbarian; David Lammy, Labour Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Secretary; Cheers.
  14. Did no one in charge see this coming ? A man who’s Tourette’s is so severe a film was made about it. Did no one think him being at such an exciting night for him might just trigger an outburst ? If this incident hadn’t happened, most people would never even known the BAFTA’s had been on tv. As they say; “ no such thing as bad publicity”…….. Cheers.
  15. Chubby Brown never got upset at the “you fat b*****d” chants. Micky Quinn the Newcastle player never got upset when fans threw pies at him and sang “who ate all the pies”. In fact they both encouraged it ! Delicate creatures, these showbiz types Cheers.
  16. My school didn’t really have a dress code or uniform. The nearest we had was typical mod attire; Ben Sherman shirt, Levi Sta-press or 501 jeans, and desert boots. I do remember going through some pretty eclectic get ups at school, one was dressing like one of Eliot Ness’s Untouchables; fedora hat, blue chalk stripe double breasted suit and overcoat ! Another was like Fidel Castro’s son; ex US Army fatigues and cap complete with the obligatory, at the time, CND and Ban The Bomb badges. I also remember a fad for ex Air Raid Wardens blue jackets or navy greatcoats . There were
  17. Violence is never the answer……but then again, it depends on what the question is ? Cheers.
  18. As you know, South and North Shields are port towns on either side of the mouth of the Tyne . They have allways been a place where sailors of all castes have settled. For anyone to say they haven’t seen any immigrants and only one black man in a week stretches credulity to breaking point Its a bit like saying you went shopping on Newcastles West Road and never saw a Pakistani Cheers.
  19. There was a nightclub right next to the ferry landing in North Shields called the Jungle, as rough a place as you’ll find , a haunt of the black community and The door man was the old boxer Manny Burgo, a black man , I think you may have just been on the periphery and not right into town Cheers.
  20. Tynemouth is the posher part of North Shields. I was brought up about 3-4 mile away on a council estate called Longbenton, , I now live about 8-10 miles west of North Shields. I worked for a North Shields company called Rutherford Brothers on their factory ships. I went to South Shields Marine College and my brother lives in Wallsend, right next to Shields. Ive spent lots of time there and I’ve got pals who are black and half caste living on the Medowell Estate, formally called The Ridges. There is a big immigrant population in the area. Did you stay in the Tynemouth area or go into N
  21. I retract my previous statement ! I don’t wasn’t to spend what time I’ve got left looking over my shoulder for a hammer wielding , enraged , ex felon from the bad lands of Bradford ! Cheers.
  22. I was being magnanimous…….i could have said he’s talking absolute shite Cheers.
