Kristoffer Clausen cooked up a fox head and munched on it, said it tasted like it smelled, not good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5pncDAfEDw

is there much training to be a train driver ?? seems a cushy number Loads of training mate, and the c*nts are on your case 24/7. If I hadn't taken redundancy when I did I would have eneded up being sacked, managed by w@nkers. Yep, you sit on your arse and do no manual work but the rediculous shifts take their toll.

Was a messenger for a travel agent in London for about a year then joined the railway. Did 35 years of silly shiftwork mostly as a train driver at a mainly freight locomotive depot, now been retired for 8 years after applying for redundancy at 53. Here's me bringing a set of empty aggregate wagons through Ealing Broadway, back to the southern region for refilling.

I remember seeing it in the electric shed at Stewarts Lane Depot just before it went for it's renovation, it wasn't in steam. Don't know why it had come onto the southern region. Used to get a rebuilt merchant navy class (Clan Line) in the lane very regularly as well, it used to do certain trips with the VSOE (orient express) stock, also used to see a West Country (can't remember which one) it was laid up at my depot for a few days after it dropped a plug and was waiting to be transferred by road for repair. Even had this A4 pacific turn up at the lane, that's the electric shed in the back

Nothing to do with a soup maker, not even a recipe, just a yarn really, although I did end up with a soup. Almost 2 years ago my son, daughter in law and grandaughter visited from Aussie, and daughter in law is a vegetarian. Bear in mind it was a very cold february so I thought I would make a veggie stew with dumplings. All the usual root veg that would normally go into a meaty stew, no pearl barley though so I supplemented with some red lentils, Knorr veggie stock cubes big lumps of swede, parsnip, potato, leeks, onions, carrots etc, plus tomato puree. Even bought a couple of packets of

The bloke on the left is my grandfather on my mothers side. He was born in 1899 and was registered as a general labourer in 1920, so had left the navy by then, but I don't know what year this photo was taken. Another photo of him with my nan, don't know what year, the baby died. And one of me about 1959-60, a school photo complete with hand knitted pullover and elasticated tie and short back and sides. Think every kids mum from that era used to knit pullovers, cardigans, mittens and balaclavas

This young lad is my father doing his National Service, think it would have been 1947-48. Would you take a look at thos f**king creases in his trousers.

Best rod I ever bought is a 12 foot Daiwa Whisker Kevlar Match. Couldn't ask for a better rod for waggler or stick float fishing on rivers, although it did most of its work on lakes and I've had some glorious days using it, and..... I still have it

I just minced up 12 pheasants today & some pork belly. I now had 4kg of meat chilling in the fridge overnight. I got hunters mix from the site you recommended; however half of the mix I want to use as chilli sausages, so 2kg of meat. How much chilli powder would you reckon I use? As well as Weschenfelder, sausagemaking.org and scobiesdirect are good for sausagemaking supplies. Personally I use scobiesdirect and always had good service, they are based in East Kilbride, Glasgow. If you are going to add chilli, or any other ingedients, to your sausage mix it then becomes an experi

Warning - Don't Put A Santa Hat On Your Dog ?
Mister Gain replied to pesky1972's topic in General Talk
I suppose that includes putting Smartie tubes on the cats legs to make it walk like a robot as well. -
I've cured pig cheeks into dry cured bacon before, and cooked them over oak chippings, lovely stuff even nice cold in a crusty sarnie with picalilli.

As you age, you can never afford to underestimate a comfy pair of slippers. When I used to go carp fishing for 3 days and nights the comfy slippers used to come along too. Some of my best fish have been caught whilst wearing comfy slippers.

Also stepped in to run the line at Highbury in 1972, Arsenal v Liverpool, when the linesman pulled a muscle. He was there as a spectator and they put out an announcement for a qualified ref otherwise the game wouldn't have gone ahead. Only 3 officials present in those days.

Storage Of Pellets When Out In The Field?
Mister Gain replied to patterdale's topic in General Airgun Discussion
Made up a bit of 1.5mm pond liner and punched holes through with some sharpened brass tube, put a label/tag clip on and it goes inside a pocket. Prey so thin on the ground at my perm I've never had to use it in 3 years. 2 full magazines are more than enough. -
Not Long Now Till The Man In Red Turns Up
Mister Gain replied to bigmac 97kt's topic in General Airgun Discussion
Think santa already been to my house. Went to take the dog for a walk at 0530 this morning and somebody (I assume it was santa) had left 3 piles of pasta outside my front gates. So that's dinner sorted today, and the good thing is it was already cooked and half digested. -
I'm having a duck and the wife is having a bit of turkey. I use both sets of giblets to make the gravy and any leftover gravy goes into a turkey stew for a few days later. Sometimes I make a giblet flan after hooking them out of the gravy, if I don't eat them first. Not over keen on roast turkey but do like a turkey stew with dumplings, turkey's ok once the veg and herbs have injected some flavour into it.

That's why I asked. Now I'm going to have to buy a ham. Bugger. £2.97 per kilo in Aldi gammon and ham roughly 3 kilo joints. TC £10? I wasn't thinking of spending that kind of money. You could always go for their cooking bacon £1.50 a kilo. TC Wife got a boiling bacon joint out of Lidls last week for £3. Had it with peas pudding and mushy peas. Plenty for us two, and took her mother up a dinner, and there was still half left. Oh yeah, the dog had the skin. Cured a few full legs of pork in the past, but too much pissing about and a lot of waiting as

Health And Safety In The Workplace Accident Advice
Mister Gain replied to carp king's topic in General Talk
Employers have a Duty of Care: Under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1992, employers are obliged to assess the nature and scale of risks to health and safety in a workplace and base their control measures on it. Your union rep. should be aware of this, and if faulty equipment was the cause of an accident, with or without injury, then they are to blame. Hope it turns out OK. -
Last time we had a real christmas tree, we also had a staff. The two didn't mix very well and the b*stard had it over about 5 times, looked a right sorry state come christmas day. Only had a tree up once since then and that was an artificial one. Looked OK but you don't get that pine resin smell, but could always steal one of the blocks out of the gents urinals down the pub and hang that on the tree.

I watched when gp froze mine then cut it out,but when I had mine done in hospital they knocked me out for it. Only bit about it which was painful was when they administered the local anaesthetic with a 2" canula from the tip of the toe down to about the 1st knuckle. Most of the time was spent waiting for the anaesthetic to work. The nail root killer was applied with what looked to me like a bamboo skewer FFS

TC, if those ingrowing toenails are giving you discomfort you can get them removed. I got p1ssed off keep trying to trim mine back with a stanley blade, and then when I got a couple of whitlows I went to the GP. He referred me to a chiropodist but she couldn't sort them with her scalpel and organised the removal. It only took about 20-30 minutes to do both, and you get to watch. After removal they apply some liquid which kills the nail roots. After about a fortnight there is no discomfort at all, and been OK since. This is after about 5 days, first dressing change, healing quite nicely.
