Or not 'mundane' more normal. Unlike the rest of us who are distinctly , er , abnormal.

I suspect not. I dont know. I don't have the stats Mc. Perhaps you could retrieve the figures from tinternet.

It's all gone check mate. And ominously quiet. True to form though, Trump has thrown another firework distraction into the mix. He now says he disputes the UK's ownership of The Falklands. Time to get the bunting and the Union Jacks out. Fire up the spitfires, get our aircraft carrier out of the scrapyard and release the dogs of war. Or perhaps not.

You are relatively new on here Halfhound. Let me respectfully put you right. There is the real world and there is Mchull world .......and never the twain shall meet. I hope that helps.

That's what struck me. Stick thin blokes in vests and wellies, not a fat gut or a cheese neck to be seen.

It's exactly the same with politicians. People believe excellent public speakers to have more intelligence and more worth than your average Joe . People assume they have a level of competence which matches their public speaking abilities. That's why we get landed with politicians who talk and present a good game but are grossly incompetent and shameless liars.

Yup. I've worked with people from cultures where the concept of time hasn't been instilled in them. They have a completely different world view. I once went commercial fishing with a group of egyptians. The water was heaving with fish and my training was to harvest every last one of them in the short time schedule we had. But from time to time they would stop work, have something to eat, have a prayer, a joke and a laugh. They had no sense of urgency or maybe greed that I had ? Could be they weren't brainwashed like me to take as much as the ship would carry? Could be they had more common se

This is a bit left field, which I what you'd expect from me.lol But school teaches concepts you are not aware of having been taught. 1) The importance of Time. School starts at 9am, and woe betide any kid who is a second late. In the fifties you were bollocked and caned. The day is divided into time blocks and kids pick up the idea of separate blocks of time for separate activities. There are bells and clocks to underline the importance of time. A respect for time and attendance is necessary to keep the wheels of industry working. One of the reasons the West has become so succ

Thats Rosenior off. I bet he's crying all the way to his millions of pounds pay off. The big clubs must have to factor in pay offs to failed managers in their business plans. Man U paid up to 20 million to pay off Ten Hag and Amorim. Still they were once ex players. And it's the players who make the entertainment and the profits at the end of the day. So good luck to them.

They don't bring in money to the country as is often argued. France has more tourists per year than any European country and they guillotined their royal leeches. They have exclusive rights to properties owned by the taxpayer which are estimated to be worth 7 billion. Those properties could be sold off and transferred to defence spending. They have mostly German blood, with a smattering of Russian and Greek thrown in. They changed their name from Battenburg to Mountbatten because it sounded more British. With security costs thrown in they are estimated to cost us half a billion

I know its a bit retro, but have you tried having sex with a genuine woman? Call me old fashioned, stone age, quaintly old-fashioned or whatever. But it's amazing.

You have a very strange friend.Must be a feckin retarded Leeds supporter. Would you kindly send me his contact details? I would like to buy his farm at a rate very advantageous to him. I can be there in the morning complete with a Febreze spray whilst he signs over the deeds. I'm robbing myself but I'll give him a tenner plus 6 magic beans. Thank you.

That's kind of you, but you keep it. It may be worth money at some point and only the two songs I've quoted mean anything to me. It's best kept in Lancashire not in chilly jock land.

We used to sing this song in school too. I guess poaching and fox hunting songs are dying out quick. Only remembered by old relics like me. Back in the day we sang rural songs even in industrial Salford. https://youtu.be/wFFGWwHR8Xg?si=kZWCyCejKA-L5tyy

Im showing my age. My generation used to sing this song in school. Its about John Peel, legendary fox hunter. https://youtu.be/LxUIWmuJARg?si=_pINL5hirvdiukI0

My lady's birthday today so we had a day out in Caldbeck. a country village in rural Cumbria. Life has stood almost still there. It has a village pond, a pub ,a cricket ground, a rectory complete with a rookery as well as a working farm.... with a bored , tyre chasing, hyperactive collie bang in the middle of the village square . There's a cottage with around a dozen sunbathing cats and a village shop / post office still surviving despite the rise of the supermarkets. I had a walk in the church grounds and found this man. He was one a celebrated national hero, but is

My Mrs was brought up with no TV in the house. So she's always been a reader. Even now she doesn't bother with it much. I can remember life before mass television ownership. It was calmer. We spoke to each other more. We had the radio. But that was in the background. Televisions take the centre space in a living room It's swings and roundabouts. Television has killed off a lot of family life, but I love football, boxing and documentaries, so I guess it's like everything..good in moderation.

Lovely little bubble blower. Congratulations 🫡🫡🫡

I think that's the truth of it. I think his recruiters thought...... Who can massage Trump's towering ego? Who has a grovelling and fawning personality? Who is completely amoral? Who thinks decency and standards are for naive people? Who is corruptible in the extreme and can turn a convenient blind eye to f****n anything, providing his palm is greased? Why. Step forward Peter himself. He was a no brainer.

Just a gentle wind up. I'm watching the game now. Not many white faces. Just a bunch of mercenaries .Bowen and Souceck are the token white fellas in the WH team. When Man U were in their pomp, half of the team were local lads, straight from the academy. It does make a difference imo. Another gentle wind up. This is not a wind up.I'm deadly serious. Danny Dyer gets up my fu kin nose. Plastic wanker. I challenge him to a square go . Even in my 76 year old, advanced state of dementia and physical decepitude, I am confident that, if he didn't run away, I would deliver a good pasting.

Nah, I've drunk loads of milk, dozens of eggs and when I'm asked how I like my steak I just tell em to wipe its arse and leave the horns on. Still can't stand up to my Mrs.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for West Ham tonight. I think gnasher could handle demotion quite calmly, but it would put Wilf right over the edge. His typing fingers would be worn to the bone and the capital letter and exclamation mark on his phone would be completely fecked. Not to mention that we who read the football section, would suffer from a continual ringing in our lugs and emotional exhaustion for the rest of our days. For the sake of us on THL...Come on ye Hammers!

You're bang on. Haaland has worked on controlled aggression and using his strength against markers. Not long ago, he could be bullied and psyched out by opponents. Now he's dishing it out as well as receiving it. Good for him that he didn't make the most of Gabriel's head moving toward his at one point. Other players would have gone down clutching their faces and screaming like a banshees. I don't know if you noticed, Haaland also had a little 'afters' with Gabriel and kicked out after the ball had gone. Totally new for him. He's becoming a more complete centre forward.

The press is focusing on whether Starmer knew he had failed the vetting procedure. But we all knew he was a wrong un! He'd been sacked twice for dishonesty. ( An undeclared dodgy loan and putting pressure on others to arrange passports for super rich pals) . He was always going to fail vetting even without his Epstein links. The whole country knew he was a dishonest, smarmy reptile. He should never have been considered for any job in government and possibly prosecuted for his past dishonesty . This business of politicians reinventing themselves after being sacked is a farce.
