  1. 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.
  2. Did a little digging myself yesterday, but it pales into insignificance compared to that excavation But it’s a bit of practice for when I come over there Cheers.
  3. Littler won the World Grand Prix of Darts last night , playing some of the best darts ever seen and demolishing the World number one six sets to one. He said he was entering the World Youth Championship today to show support for the competition and players, probably at the request of the organisers, the PDC to boost coverage. I doubt he was taking it very seriously, but that said, the girl that beat him is far and away the best woman player in the world. My missus was world ranked in women’s darts back in the 80’s and since then I’ve never seen a woman player get farther than t
  4. When I had my yearly M.O.T. this year, they included a hearing test. Like you, they said my high pitch hearing had deteriorated slightly, they said it’s common as you get older and I may have a problem hearing high pitched women’s voices . I said I considered that a bonus, not a problem…….. Cheers.
  5. Put 6 purple sprouting broccoli in a crate lined with a dumpy bag half filled with compost. A bit late in the season, but they are well established and under glass, so fingers crossed Cheers.
  6. I fly the England flag outside of the Man Cave to show I’m in residence, much like the king flys the Royal Standard above Buckingham Palace when he is in residence Cheers.
  7. Starmer was asked today how digital ID would stop illegal immigration, his reply was “ IT WILL ALSO GIVE YOU ACCESS TO YOUR OWN MONEY”. Thats a direct quote !! Scary…. Cheers.
  8. A few ingredients from the allotment today to go in a beef stew; Finally got my over winter cabbages in; Copper tape collars, beer traps and slug pellets, that should hopefully keep the slugs at bay And netted to keep the flying pests out ; Cheers.
  9. Thing is my pal starts my plants off indoors with heat mats and lamps and when I get the plug plants they are well established and I grow them on in poly tunnels. Cheers.
  10. Maybe reparations could be linked to repatriation? You get reparations, you go back to your ancestral homeland and renounce any affiliation with the UK ? Cheers.
  11. I was visiting my pals Polish dad one time and my missus asked why there was garlic on every windowsill, “to keep out the vampires of course ! “ he replied . My pal lives in Pampanga, he should fit right in Cheers.
  12. I was going to say I’m a magnanimous type of person, but that would have Juke reaching for the spellcheck ! Just a bit of right wing humour, Jukes Cheers.
  13. “Asking” ; another typo ? Cheers.
  14. Someone who spells “tell “ as “tel” maybe shouldn’t be having a go at someone else’s spelling ……? Cheers.
  15. Wasn’t it something to do with rubbing a silver or copper coin on a wart and giving the coin to someone ? Cheers.
  16. Isn’t “left wing humour “ an oxymoron ? Cheers.
  17. A Huntaway I saw jn New Zealand over 30 years ago. Cheers.

    Reform

    My opinions and views are just that mate; MY views and opinions I may be completely wrong , I hope not, for the sake of my country and my grandsons future. I just can’t see a viable alternative to Farage and Reform at the moment. It looks like we’ve got another 3-4 years of this disastrous Labour government, who knows , something more preferable to Reform may come along before then, but at the moment, it’s Reform for me. As always, I can respect others views without necessarily agreeing with them Cheers.

    Reform

    I’m not sure about “Farage working for the wealthy” ? He wants to scrap “net zero” and subsidies for the green agenda, so electric and gas prices should come down. He wants to stop both legal and illegal immigration, saving the country billions of pounds, freeing up housing, nhs, etc, which would benefit the working man and woman. He wants to take back our fishing grounds, supporting British fishermen. He wants to scrap the farm inheritance tax, supporting British farmers. He wants to restart drilling for gas and oil in the North Sea, bringing well paid jobs to the wor

    Reform

    A party can have the most seats but not an overall majority. They can then form a minority government or enter a coalition with another party , just as the Tory’s did with the LibDems some years back. There is also something called a “confidence and support agreement” where small party with enough seats can enter into an agreement to support a minority government without being offered or taking seats in that government. I think this happened with Theresa Mays government when she didn’t have an outright majority and I think it was the six DUP MP’s that agreed to support her, giving her an

    Reform

    The Tory Party, probably since they got rid of Thatcher, hasn’t been a “real” right wing party. The “left” of the Tory’s have been pro net zero, pro legal immigration, pro ECHR and EU, just look at the likes of Anna Sourbry and Dominic Grieve, far closer to the LibDems philosophy than Tory philosophy. I think the Tory’s, at least most of them , that are defecting to Reform are genuine right wing, who have realised that the modern Tory party is a centre party, and see a home for their beliefs in Farage and Reform. Of course there will be “carpet baggers” who are defecting more out of

    Reform

    Surely it was the Tory’s duty to use the new found freedom to control our borders and not allow the free for all ? Farage had absolutely no power then, the government of the day did but refused to use it. Nothing will convince you of that so there’s no point in continuing. Cheers.

    Reform

    How could Farage negotiate the Dublin Agreement? He wasn’t even an MP, let alone in government . Yes, Johnson and the Tory’s made a complete mess of Brexit, but the Brexit we got wasn’t the one Farage wanted. You can hate him all you want, but he isn’t to blame for the Tory’s abysmal surrender deal with the EU. Cheers.
  24. Never got stuck once , on any terrain with either of these; Cheers.
