Roof slates... where pigeons have shit. Who thought that'd make a great plate? Or a plank?
Late 70's early 80's, whilst a juvenile Ronald and his yank oppos were trying to figure out how to grow to Wimpy size, The Great American Disaster on Lower Bridge Street in Chester was knocking out arguably the best burgers I've ever tasted all served on wooden platters.

Went with my lad last night after we both saw it in 2007. Superb production enhanced by the small intimate venue I thought.
Downsides £4.50 for a placky bottle of cider and LoV seats aren't designed to be sat on for long periods!!

Cloudy most of last week with some spectacular thunderstorms in the Sporades and folk walking round at night with coats on it was that cold. Friend of ours sacked it off and flew home.

Best Asian food you will ever eat at maharba although you should be keeping it quiet so it doesn’t get overrun
Every time I’m back home I make sure I go. Absolutely outstanding place
Agree fantastic, regular visits when I worked round the corner in Piccadilly. Get there early for a seat if you want to eat in! Been meaning to call in for ages.
Was another rice and three we went to somewhere near port street. Not sure it had a name just a door that led to an old 'disco'complete with thick artex and dj booth in a basement but amazing food.

Been mid May for last 3 years and love the place, has so much for a small island and at that time of year everything just starting up but so relaxed. Does mean the sunbeds might not be out on a lot of the beaches but we prefer that. Stayed self catering in Aghia Paraskevi / Kolios roughly half way along the south coast as we like to get out and about without being tied but if you want hotels loads of smaller ones in town and larger ones spread along the island, Atrium, Skiathos Princess. One main road with regular buses (every 20 min in May) 2 euro from one end of the island to the the other. Loads of beaches large to small (claims of 65, some being the size of your living room) crystal clear sea and a multitude of tavernas and restaurants, cheapest meal for 2 with wine was 22 euro and most expensive 100+ last year. If you're active fantastic for walking, through Mandraki forest and to beaches on the north side. Old port is great for sitting people watching in the cocktail bars, new port for booking boat trips. Worth hiring a jeep to explore northern side, roads are largely unmade and some hairy hills. Too many things to see and do so my only recommendation would be get out and about and explore. If you want any more info pm me.

Love how people are oblivious to the cost of stuff. Little mix are one of the biggest girl groups at the moment so you pay top coin
As a comparison I was looking at Taylor Swift tickets for the g/daughter at Etihad ... £330 ...and no that's not on the resale sites that's retail before booking fee etc!! Let's treat the g/kids with their mum and auntie, that'll be a grand thanks!! Fckin ridiculous.

I'd say I'm fairly open minded but just can't fathom how anyone in this day and age believes the Earth is flat.
I had a 'debate' with a fully paid up member of the flat earth society the other week in the pub, absolutely fckin bonkers he was! My gast was that flabbered by the end I even left without paying my tab!!

Went to Specsavers at Middlebrook 2 years and despite the optici ... opthalm... girl that tested my eyes looking like she'd just left kindegarten, picked something up and referred me to the eye clinic at Bolton where they identified I have assymetric optic nerves. Just had second annual hospital appointment doing loads of tests and this year they even took photos of the back of my eye to reference any changes in the future. Everything fine and if no change next year will be discharged. Like most large chains/franchises there's going to be variations in quality.

G/daughter's just gone with scouts to meet at the cenotaph in Horwich then parade to rememberance gardens at Lever Park for a service. Always a good turnout and seems to be more every year. Quite a few there yesterday when the 11 o'clock maroon went up.

Not easy, but perhaps start with youths and antisocial stuff. Smashing bus stops for instance.
Come down hard, perhaps five days a week removing old industrial and current rubbish from rivers and banks. Obviously a decent regard to safety but not cotton wooling, make it hard graft, pissed wet through and knackered, but build up a sense of teamwork and ultimately a feeling of achievement and self worth.
Maybe have them collecting waste cooking oil from houses and businesses for conversion to fuel. Avoid the fatbergs.
Must be loads of environmental type stuff that could be done that sadly authorities don't have the money to resolve
They're in public view too- need to overcome initial embarrassment then gain self respect.
I agree with your sentiments but see the bad lads army every week doing stuff, whilst some of it is physical I wouldn't call it hard graft and the minute it starts spitting they retire to a nice warm building for a brew 'til it stops. They are in public view though not surenthere's any embarrasment factor.

still undecided where is every one meeting/boozing
cause I will probably be On My Own
As long as you manage to sneak past the line of dibble on the train station ...still one of my favourite youtube vids!! ????

No Balls has officially moved beyond the borders of Bolton so shouldn’t be allowed back anyway. She can be spotted at Booths most evenings buying lavender dog shampoo and sushi.
Maggie is in the hands of ISIS but they’ll send him back eventually when they lose the argument he’ll have started.
She's not officially passed the keys to the pitchforks yet, still time to get the NVGs out now the nights have drawn in

Sorry, found two duplo boxes but apparently the blocks in them aren't duplo!
-
did they even have ladies toilets on the burnden / manny road terrace?
wonder what they would've been like - maybe a can of haze in there as a gesture
No point, women weren't allowed at football then were they?
Actually just remembered a scrap between two girls on the Lever End pre seats days with them ripping each others clothes off. Plod trying to get to them and the crowd of lads stopping them whilst encouraging the girls.

Worked for them for 11 years until last year.
In terms of service they are no worse than any of the other banks in my opinion.
In terms of moral compass that’s a whole different question and answer.
Had to use a branch to certify some papers for this issue and they were next to useless as well.
Mind I was a bit stunned when I was told at Nat West I couldn't pay a cheque into my sons account without a card or pre-printed paying in slip as I only had his sort code and a/c number, anti money laundering apparently. Ok I says, I'll pay it into my account (same initial) which sort of defeats the object as it's not my cheque! They paid it into his.

She will do if necessary
Bit of a bugger she has to fund it
Absolutely. I'll ask Mrs Dee, sure we had some somewhere.

I'm sure I read something that said that Trump spent more on travel and protection in 2 months than Obama did in 2 years........The main issue being he keeps clearing off to his Mar-a-Lago Resort, which costs around $3M in security for each weekend that he's there
Does he claim it 'on expenses' ?

Anyone a rough idea the total fines and compensation paid out by RBS in the last few years since the public very kindly bailed them out?
See the FCA have said they may take further action and the bank have responded saying they're sorry and set aside £400m for compensation on top of the £115m they've already paid out.
Been dealing with them last couple of weeks, what an incompetent, unprofessional, couldn't give a toss, absolute fckin shower of shite they are! No wonder they're constantly being fined for stuff, not come across one person capable of taking ownership, giving a straight answer or having any inkling of customer service.
Got a call from SAR department just after 5:00 today (bet he was hoping i wouldn't/could't answer) in response to an earlier call when I insisted I got a call from the person handling the issue by close of play. After 20 mins he admitted he wasn't the person I was expecting but he handled the complaint department of the SAR department and the (other) complaints department had passed the buck rather than dealing with the issue! He then told me, and I quote, "we'll probably be able to get something out to you shortly" . How about complying with the Subject Access Request submitted 5 months ago for starters? When pushed the 'complaints handler' said he was sorry (pattern emerging) and added "it looks like someone made an 'unwise decision' back in June". An unwise decision ....really!
Promised another call tomorrow ...can't wait!

Can't beat nipples caressing your neck!
Especially if she resembles the lady on your posts.
That's brought a memory back, as a naive youngster early in my career at a bank one girl used to rest her tit on my shoulder every time she came to my desk to talk about something. Same girl, just the two of us working at a sub branch, also had a habit of persistently bending down so her dress fell forward with nipples poking out her bra and a hint of bush poking out.
Not sure if that qualifies as sexual harassment.

My local council (Rossendale) empty our brown bin (grass cuttings etc) once a fortnight from 1st March to 30th November. As from next March, if we want it emptying, it's £35 a time.
Food waste goes in the green bin in Bolton with grass etc ....Spider would have an apoplectic explosion if it wasn't emptied for 5 months AND charged for!!

So the UKs rises in crime is down to Radical Islamic terror according to Trump
Thought all the countries ills were down to Thatcher according to Red Ken Livingstone in an article on facetube the other day ..you live and learn.

It was an absolute fucking joke tonight.
From the m56 to Bolton took 2 fucking hours.
That's an average speed of 15mph entirely on motorways.
Fuck off. Just fuck the fucking fuck off.
I'd have expected your car's sat nav to have rerouted you!

I cut the grass verges in front of our house, next door and the owd couple next door but one, takes me about 10/15 mins a fortnight and time it just before the council wallahs come with their heavy machinery damaging the edgings, churning up the borders and leaving grass cuttings everywhere.
They've sussed it now and leave ours alone. We have nicely trimmed front borders and the cuttings go in the green bin to be taken away rather than tramping through the house.
Yeah it's something the council is paid to do (or at least outsourced contractors if it's the case) to do if I wanted to a pedant and moan but their way leaves the place looking like a tip.
I see it as akin to donkey stoning your front step years ago to make the street look nice.

Also on the Embankment that day ...must have been near you as I remember a copper not opening the gate and some climbing the fence. Hell of a crush at the front and was more swept through the gate ripping my watch off my wrist in the process when it was finally opened. Managed to keep my scarf tied to the other wrist though ;-)
