  1. Yeah , I’m sure the bus driver would be happy to help me on with two bales of straw, two sacks of hen food and two sacks of dog food…… Cheers.
  2. After 70 , we have to renew our license every three years. It’s no big deal, 10 minutes on line, don’t have to prove anything. Just this week renewed mine for the second time, so I’m good ‘till I’m 76. Cant see the point in it really, but I have regular medicals , hearing and eye tests sand I think I’ll know when to give up driving. Cheers.
  3. Or we could ban drunks and drug takers from driving for life ? Cheers.
  4. In my dreams; In reality; Ahh well…… Cheers.
  5. I’m a Newcastle supporter, and Liverpool have always been my “second team”; but I must admit to a feeling of schardenfruede right now. Cheers.
  6. I tried over wintering chilli plants last year in the greenhouse but they all died. I was given conflicting advice, some said cut them right back, others said don’t cut them back, so I tried both ways but no success. Im trying these this year; Perpetual spinach. Started off in pots in the poly tunnel. Will plant them out in the spring. Cheers.
  7. I despair for this country . An illegal immigrant is sent back to France under the “ one in , one out “ scheme and gets straight on a boat and comes back. An illegal immigrant gets jailed for 12 months for sexually assaulting a 14 year old and is “accidentally “ released after 1 month. They shouldn’t be here in the first place ! Starmer is on tv playing the world leader with other European leaders , promising Ukraine more money and missiles while the country is falling apart ! Cheers.
  8. And a show dog aswell! I gave it Supreme Champion at Neilson Working Terrier Show in Glasgow. Fancy that; a show dog that works . Cheers.
  9. Philosophically, I’m an old school stoic, maybe a fatalist, I’m not too sure. I think you can influence your fate, your future, whatever you want to call it, just as both you and I chose to by moving abroad, but you can’t change fate if cancer is going to strike or a drunk driver is going to mow you down, some things you just have to take and make the best of it. Politically, I’m certainly well right of centre , but can accept some left wing views without being ideological or dogmatic about either. Religiously I don’t believe in god, but absolutely agree with Christian values.
  10. You old sentimentalist you Cheers.
  11. Isn’t there a government “gag order” on this ? Cheers.

    The illegal Afghan immigrant who threatened to kill Farrage has just been jailed so I guess it makes sense to have some security around their offices Cheers.

    Reform

    You’re getting fixated again mate As I said, I’d be far more worried about the Muslim who has REAL power in the country, who holds one of the three Great Offices Of State, our Home Secretary, Shabanah Mahmood You’re getting fixated again mate As I said, I’d be far more worried about the Muslim who wields REAL power, who occupies one of the three Great Offices of State; our Home Secretary Shabanah Mahmood ! At least Yusuf has Farage to temper his aspirations….Mahmood has Starmer who will agree with everything she says so as not to upset the Muslim vote. Just my

    Reform

    No mate, not really a fair assessment. Farage is Leader, Bull is chairman, Tice is vice chairman, Anderson is chief whip. Yosuf is Head of “DOGE”, (department of government efficiency), tasked with finding savings in the councils now run by reform. I think he’s fairly down the pecking order now, and is used as a spokesman simply because he speaks so well on tv , he tore that duplicitous snake Barry Gardener to shreds the other day in a debate. I know you seem to be a bit fixated on Reform, but personally I’d be more worried about our Muslim Home Secretary, Shabanah Mahmood,

    Reform

    Zia Yusaf isn’t the Chairman of Reform mate, I assume it’s him you mean. He resigned in June. The chairman is now David Bull. Cheers.

    Reform

    There was a Labour councillor on tv last night saying if we were still in the EU we could use the Dublin Agreement. The interviewer was ready for him; official figures showed 400 returned to the EU…… over 1,000 sent from the EU to here. Cheers.

    Reform

    The Welsh by-election this week should be interesting, Reform are ahead in the polls and Labour are in third place. I shall follow the result with my usual nerdish enthusiasm! Cheers.

    Reform

    “Same people, same outcome”. As I said, I’m not happy with the intake of defecting Tory’s, but I can see the practicality of it, in them having experience of the Parliamentry Estate and procedures., “Needs must” and that sort of thing. I think it’s naive to think voters would demand their preferred party, MP, Councillor to listen to them. There are places in the North East that would still vote Labour even if Labour made it a manifesto commitment to murder their first borns, because of the “ me da and granda voted Labour so will I” mentality! In my opinion, there simply isn’t an

    Reform

    With all due respect Wilf; that’s not an alternative. That’s throwing the towel in and accepting the status quo. Reform may turn out to be as bad as the rest, ( I fervently hope not), but we will never know unless we give them a go. Would they surrender to the Chinese and allow spies to act with impunity, as Labour appears to have done ? Would they be the abject disaster that the Tory’s were for 14 years ? Rhetorical questions we won’t be able to answer unless Reform is given a go. As I say, if someone offers me a viable alternative, I’d certainly consider it Ch

    Reform

    “Drifting left” ? Give over Wilf Ending Indefinite Leave to remain, retrospectively, internment camps and immediate removal for illegal immigrants, will have the real left in paroxysms of confected anger ! About the only “left” suggestion they are making is removing the two child benefit cap, in the hope it will encourage us to have more children and be less dependent on immigration. Id of thought you would see through the establishments attempt to , in the Tory’s case, label Reform as “left wing” and Labours attempts to label Reform as “far right” ? They can’t be both
  21. Labour never wanted this inquiry for the simple reason that Labour MP’s, Labour Councillors, Labour Police and crime Commissioners and left wing police chiefs were complicit in the cover ups and scared stiff of being labelled “racist” if they told the truth about the grooming gangs…….. Cheers.
  22. There’s a lot of extremely talented players who excel at the “floor” level but can’t make the adjustment to stepping up to the stage, televised level. When my missus was about to play her first televised semi final, the BDO took her and her opponent on stage and explained about the camera movements and the echo from the mikes behind the board etc. She needed a couple of vodka and cokes before playing, which wouldn’t be allowed now, of course Cheers.
