All sorted for E's and Wizz at the Christmas disco.

Probably different eras and chicken tikka did not exist then. One of my 1st jobs was assisting an uncle who worked as driver/minder for lasses performing their acts in clubs. He was ex miner but clever and made a bit and got out. A very competent boxer and ended up running a club teaching lads. Being an ex pitman his back was f****d and that's where I came in. The girls would be picked at their home and dropped off safe and sound after the gig. My job would be to carry their bag. My uncle was cool as f**k, hard as nails, very rarely got involved on the day. Someone throwing a pint o

Someone owns it, and there will be reasons why they are not living there, or have not flipped for an easy profit. In France/Spain the families inheriting such places do a little hard work and sell them as viable homes.

You threw your pint over her? FFS?

There is always that aspect to contend with. In the past I've been given boots that needed a hammer taken to them and soaked in polish for a week before wearing them but they still wrecked your feet. I make sure the boots we issue are comfortable to wear straight out the box. But I will get a call, such and such (usually an apprentice) has left his boots on site and forgot he going to another site after college. Can I order him a new pair? NO!

Gnipper, lads shouldn't be having to buy their own PPE or workwear. I know it depends on your companies attitude, and sounds like they are issuing something, but it needs to be fit for purpose. They have a legal duty of care under HSAW Act 1974. Maybe have a diplomatic word with a supervisor or manager? I happy workforce is a productive workforce I know not all companies take this sort of thing seriously and can regard those who speak up as trouble makers, but shouldn't be happening in 2025. The more expensive better quality stuff usually proves more cost effective in the long run anyway.

No... when shagging the girlfriend at the time I was distracting my mind to naming the 1966 England World Cup winning starting 11.

Remember the blond Shake n Vac women in 1980's TV ads? Spitting dabs of the girlfriend's mother at the time, fancied them both. MILF I believe is the current term, now more like... "If I was 20 years younger"

I'll see your Border and raise you a 15+ year old Russell. Those diffuser things don't stand a chance.

I may get them dried outside tomorrow... just checked the weather forecast.

Going off on a bit of a tangent but some social commentary on people's attitude as to how they dress in the workplace these days. I've spent most of my working life in construction, starting as a labourer, getting a trade and then into management. We have an office dress code, as most places do of course, a minimum of collared shirt, no jeans, no trainers and a business suite in meetings when appropriate. I have never had a problem with this. Spending a little time on Sunday afternoons ironing shirts and polishing shoes for the week ahead, rather than being a chore, gave a certain sense of ach

Jacket fits well but needs a moleskin waistcoat to complete.

Pleased with my recent purchases from House of Bruar. Going for a Toad of Toad Hall look these days. Toot toot went mr. Eastcoast.

Lets See Them Whippets, Coarsing, Racing, Working

I'm no expert but wouldn't worry about tape measures if you're wanting a whippet to do what whippets do. -
That's how far we advanced in a few years mr. Charts. Not long ago the only reason to watch Newcastle was in the hope that Maxi would create some magic, now we see it all over the pitch week in, week out. Winning a cup and playing in the Champions League, long may it continue.

I agree with what you say. My post was possibly poorly worded. Gordon is quick and skilful so obviously the opposition will try and stop him playing, not always fairly (you make good point when overseas opposition are not as aware of his ability). If no foul is given, particularly in the 1st half (how was it not a foul in the 1st half but is in the 2nd?), he will often stay on the ground or get up and whinge to the ref. Reducing us to 10 men and this has happened a few times when losing possession in our final 3rd (mostly since Lewis Hall and Livramento have been out) and they then go on to sc

Anthony Gordon is bit of an odd ball IMO. Seems a grounded down to earth lad but at the same time often has a "billy big bollocks" attitude in games. I love to watch him play all the same, for when he does what he can do is joy to watch. Lewis Hall back on the pitch last night could have a massive impact on Gordon's season. But, if his heart is at Liverpool, so be it. f**k him.

Decent game at St. James' last night. Good result, fantastic goal from a giant Geordie and superb away supporters. Met a few who had travelled with several generations of the same family. Only gripe was a minority of our fans who must have thought it was a 3rd round FA cup game and not a Champions League, expecting opposition to be steamrollered. How quickly they forget

You should have put it to bed in 1st half. I didn't say you won though, in case you're waiting for MOTD2

WHU v NUFC. Somewhat of a THL derby? My rose coloured spectacles showed a game where Hammers played a good game and Newcastle were not shite, these rose coloured glasses have thick lenses. Well done West Ham.

My apologies, something put together by far right extremists with personal memories or family/friends connection to those who served in WW1, WW2, Malayia, Korea, Aiden, NI, Falklands, NI, "Balkans", Iraq x2, Afganistan. You can still get a cheap pint there though.
