He plays the crazy farmer on Brassic must be his persona in real life ? brassic farmer Jim festival rant - YouTube

Mellor was on the news this morning saying as the Lib Dems came 3rd last election in T&H they gained something along the lines of a 40 odd thousand more majority! Also said they were the only party that actively worked door to door speaking to people, the others have got so tied up in their own arrogant worlds they just thought they would stroll it or knew they were fcuked so just gave up trying.
-
Both Labour and Lim Dem winning candidates are calling for Boris to resign.............Now surely they won because Boris was in power and the people have such little faith in him? If that were the case I would be saying thanks Boris stay in power and one of our parties will be running this country very soon, not resign and put a "better" leader in that may turn it around and keep us as the opposition!!!! Christ they are all thick (no need to answer that).

Probably bottom in the table of human rights as well, strange a left leaning poster like sandymere would even want to post that as a argument. I can see it now China top 3 in projected growth also top in Harassment of activists and dissidents. Persecution of people for religious beliefs. Discrimination against ethnic minorities. The death penalty where there are more executions in China than the rest of the world combined etc. Banging argument that..........................

Interesting point and I suppose its all relative. There's a very close relation of mine and his wife who both get PIP, a brand new car every 3 years (they even pay for upgrades on the motor) he got food parcels delivered when the lockdown was on and gets food vouchers. He will get the £600 fuel thing, don't pay any council tax gets help with the rent on his 3 bed house (just him and his wife) and are both claiming enough to be able to have two holidays a year in fact he's said he's better off now than he ever been, 53 not worked for 10years and has no intention of ever going back to work

No you would pay the same tax rate unless you go above the higher threshold, which kind of defeats Wilfs argument because they must be on a shit hot wage so should really pay extra or the rich getting richer argument kicks in, or does that only count for certain parts of our society? We have a couple here that wont work because they say o/t only gives them x amount per hour what they dont work out is they are earning less than that on their basic hourly rate they dont see beyond the standard weeks pay. In simplistic terms say they take home £10 a hr/40hrs £400 they then work 2 hours at £1

Different councils have different rules sedgemoor are giving DD customers it off each month and have still not "worked out" how monthly card customers will get theirs yet. Bristol monthly cards customers had to apply for it.
-
See I agree with some of what you say but really what sort of tax rate means you only earn £20 a day ? And even if that was the case I would rather earn £20 and feed my family than go to a food bank, but that's just me. I don't think I said users of foodbanks use them for the "kudos" either but I do believe that for many its a easier option than "cutting back" and has become the acceptable norm, I would rather cancel my netflix that use a food bank but again that's just me. I enjoy your posts but do get confused at them at times, you bang the drum for the old times, patriotism and t

I saw a story relating to this on the news about the foodbank issue and the cost of living crisis last night and how we were all doomed which was closely followed by a report that holiday bookings had increased by a 140% and airports were struggling because of the surge and they couldn't employ staff to do the work! Surely if you struggle financially the first thing you would do is find a job (if you dont have one) reports show a record high of 1.1million vacancies or take on a extra part time job, closely followed by dropping the annual holiday until you got straight? I know eve

I did say when Im dead every time he has a shave and sees the scar hes going to remember me, so you aint wrong.

I'm printing that list off for my grandson but I reckon he's done over half them already when he's with me and he's only 18 months old. Little bugger ran into the door last week chasing me around the house hardly cried at all he just loves being out and about.
-
Your a happy one aint you ? Two of the ones I did didnt go past 18months though so suppose your right!
-
Nope Im not I can assure you but I have 3 brothers (I'm the oldest), 2 brother in laws, 1 best and only real mate, and my sons which was the greatest honour I have had bestowed on me. To be the father of the groom and knowing he feels I'm his best mate (and probably because we ended up paying for most of it and he felt he had to give some sort of payback).
-
Dont wish to put you off but I've been best man 7 times now and havent enjoyed 1. Its easier if you know the audience family etc but start with the usual thanking everyone for coming explain who you are how you are acquainted to the bride and groom. Mention how good the bride and bridesmaid look and what a fantastic day it had been and If you have only hunting in common try to find one or two funny stories and elaborate on those. Try to find something funny out about the bride and finish up by trying to be as serious, complimentary and as sentimental as possible before you get everyone up

My dad used to say that joke but it was "throw a brick threw (enter name of black family) window". Funny as my dad had a few black mates and I would never have said he was racist, he just found it funny. I suppose humour was different back then a joke was seen as just a joke. And on the worm front if your getting them from the golf course make sure you have a bit of sand with you for your fingers the lob worms only hang half way out and if you cant get a grip you either have them slide back down the hole or pull them in half.

Sad thing is there isn't family in this country that aren't having a similar conversation. Our surgery wont even book you in for a face to face with a doctor anymore and a telephone consultation is hit and miss and the receptionist are just plain rude. My wife had lumps come up in her mouth and neck that progressively got worse over a number of weeks they told her 3 weeks for a telephone call and told to go to A&E. We had to rock up at the clinic and refused to leave until she was seen by a doctor who then googled her symptoms and medication!!! There was no one in the waiting room fo

Food waste as well mate. My wifes supermarket bin most of the "out of date" stuff because its illegal to donate it. They started pouring bleach on it in the bins to stop the dippers because they could sue if they stole the out of date stuff and got ill. Then they realised the dippers would get even more ill with bleach on it! They now have to lock them and have signs up but they now break in to the bins, I've sat and watched them pull up in their fancy cars break into the bins and steal it, these aren't even homeless people.

Prices going crazy everywhere, my wife works in a supermarket everyday essential items going up by 30p+ on top of these ridiculous energy rises its going to mean simple things we took for granted like a meal out once a month are going to have to stop. We both work (for now!) with a reasonable wage coming in, dread to think how low income families are going to manage. Cant see this ending well this countrys going to change drastically over the next 5 years.

Price is for domestic vehicles and all rubble now is chargeable (pea gravel included) couldnt believe it, its only £3.15 to buy a 25kg bag of it new !
-
I can beat that...................house we moved into the bloke decided to tip bags of pea gravel to make it look nice around the edge of the lawn problem is when you strim the edge pea gravel flys everywhere so scrapped it up and took 15 bags to the recycling centre. First bag goes in bloke comes up to me in a high vis "how many bags mate" ......15 I say.......... "that will be £61.50"..............turns out its £4.10 a bag to tip. Cut a long story short, no more bags entered the bin I refused to pay for the first and I'm now banned from the recycling centre! Chippings were taken t
