  1. Sunday dinner; Fresh veggies from the allotment this morning, and mint for the lamb chops ; Steamed to keep the goodness in; Ready to eat ! Cheers.
  2. I had oysters like that in Australia at a party in Melbourne thrown for me and the missus by a man who designed golf courses. I’m not sure what they were called ; oyster Rockefeller perhaps ? Cheers.
  3. Just had a message from a pal and his wife, stuck in the middle of it on the way back from shopping. Cheers.
  4. Fighting between anti immigrant protesters and counter protests with “immigrants welcome “ banners outside the hotel . If, god forbid, this turns into civil war, what side will the police and more importantly, the military, be on ? Cheers.
  5. Are you saying government agents provocateurs are starting these riots Francie ? Cheers.
  6. “Facial Recognition “ is one of those subjects that I can’t come down definitively for or against. A data base of known terrorist suspects and Facial Recognition being deployed at airports and seaports ? Yes, sounds good. A data base of every citizen and Facial Recognition being deployed on every street corner like CCTV, no, sounds bad. Plus, a saying I often use; “give someone power, and they will abuse it; give someone absolute power, and they will absolutely abuse it”. This is the reason I refused to download the Track & Trace app; I didn’t want someone saying “what’
  7. We won’t be consulted. Labour have such a massive majority they could declare us a one party communist state if they wanted; they could change the election laws to have elections every 20 years instead of every 5 years if they wanted , they toyed with the idea of giving 16 and 17 year olds the vote until they realised that particular demographic were more likely to vote for Farage and Reform so quietly dropped it from the Kings Speech. The Tory’s completely wasted their eighty seat majority; Labour may not waste their 158 seat majority. Cheers.
  8. Does anyone think facial recognition ISN’T being used ? Slightly off topic, but a whippet club I support has moved from having an open forum on the internet to a members only Facebook group. I decided, after much deliberation, to join fb so I could join the group. Going through the joining process, fb insisted I upload a photo of myself….the application ended right there ! Cheers.
  9. They are flying the Tricolour and the Union Flag side by side Francie mate. When did you last, or ever, see that on the streets ? Cheers.
  10. If this is bringing Republicans and Unionists together it is serious . The government’s must listen ….. but will they ? I doubt it. Cheers.
  11. The quality of the banter has dropped off somewhat, so I’m going in for my tea ! Cheers.
  12. “Ingested” ! I’m impressed, my heart bursts with pride ! Cheers .
  13. I said to my wife the country is a tinderbox waiting for a spark. Sadly , the murder of those poor children has provided that spark. I fear the genie is out of the lamp, the Kraken has been released, peoples pent up frustrations have exploded and the completely out of their depth politician’s are so out of touch with reality that I fear for my country……stay safe mate. Cheers.
  14. I despise all the “legacy “ parties, mate. Please don’t start with the “whataboutery “ you have previously decried ! LOL ! Cheers.
  15. She said something like “ Starmer has to come out and say what Labour is going to do about uncontrolled immigration “. The sad thing is they won’t only do nothing about it…they will encourage more. Cheers.
  16. Now I’ve told you before; take a deep breath before posting, go over it in your mind, think about punctuation, spelling, syntax, grammar, if you get stuck or are in doubt , PM me, that’s what I’m here for young’un ! Cheers.
  17. But she wasn’t just made a Dame, the equivalent to a Sir, she was made a Baroness, the equivalent to a Lord, she can sit in the House of Lords and scrutinise legislation and amend or change it, she can also claim the £350 a day attendance allowance. I have never understood why she was awarded this privilege, many people have lost children to violence but haven’t been rewarded in this way by the Government. Cheers.
  18. I’ve imported two dogs from Australia and one from Saudi, but sadly none were running/working dogs. Too late in my life to do it again but looking back I would have imported running dogs from Australia, America and the Middle East, I’ve had the opportunity but never took it. Cheets.
  19. I’m enjoying the banter. Just don’t over step it and invite the irrational ire of the mods again ! Cheers.
  20. f**k me, this is better than the tennis; serve, return, volley ! LOL ! Cheers.
  21. Are these the best crisps ever ? Cheers.
  22. What makes us British ? Well, going by the replies and comments on this thread and others, eccentricity has to be high up on the list ! Cheers.
  23. To be fair, I’ve engaged in verbal sword play with Wilf many times and it’s always entertaining and polite, so maybe I spotted what he was doing and you didn’t ! LOL ! Cheers.
  24. Wilfy, you crack me up ! You’ve reduced argumentative debate to a single word, and won ! Kudos, mate, Kudos ! LOL ! Cheers.
  25. I’d say very much like our deer/greys but from lines that go way back, there’s probably the odd other type in them but they do seem to breed true to type, although you can get rough and smooth in the same litter and the smooth ones are called ‘roo hounds. Im sure our Aussie members will have seen far more and know far more about them than I do. Cheers.
