  1. nightmare flash backs at he mention of that place, swimming in pyjamas with Beryl Stone pushing me away from the side with a stick and hoop when trying to grab on. that's the way to learn eh? swim or drown. Broken floor tiles that cut your feet and stinking, stinking toilets. in between the two pools, there was actually a "public baths" down a corridor, where people, without a bath at home I presume, could go and have a bath. some strange people in there when i wandered in as a kid, including one man pissing in the said baths. Got hammered off my mam for going in, so she must have been wary of the place, but I, along with loads of others were allowed to wander between the two pools in just our trunks. ah the good old days
  2. yes fake, was doing the rounds a couple of years ago as an Australian politician then.
  3. One on Chaddock lane? used them also, Wanderers fan, got two tyres put on before driving to Wembley, gave me a discount when he found out that was the reason for the new tyres in fact, wouldn't surprise me if he frequented this site, such was his choice of words when discussing the match and Bolton in general, never asked him though

    agree,can't usually be arsed with it tbh, but tonight the lad wanted to watch it. good players,but fuckin hell what a bunch of diving wankers,,both teams.
  5. maybe,but people provide their bank details now when they get a letter, the only difference is you'll know instantly, and yes, the phone number /email would have to be registered to the car, not much of a hard thing to make a pre requisite to vehicle registration. not saying that it is going to happen, but i know the cameras have the technology to be able to do it, should the powers that be decide they want to do it.
  6. your right, they do, so they may well think nothing of doing it with the new speed cameras, i just don't know if they will or not. i only know that the new cameras are due to be here next year and as well as speed, can do you for not wearing a seat belt or no insurance/mot etc. they are trailer mounted apparently, so will be used by the police, rather than fixed in any one location.
  7. F?ck knows, maybe the registered keeper will get the text, same as they get the letter now? I don't decide or owt, that's just what I know, the technology is already there on certain toll roads in Europe, Number plate read and billed from an account each time you go through a set point, can either set it up so it comes out of a certain account or log on and pay each time. wouldn't be much of a jump to put it onto speed cameras that read the registration. I don't know if it will come in here, may be all sorts of obstacles, financial and political, but I do know that the technology and cameras will be available to be here next year, the how they go about automated billing will be one of the deciding factors of whether they come in or not I would say.
  8. in the older style ones,with normal film, two flashes once you set the camera by travelling at speed towards it, then the picture is examined, at the time elapse between the two flashes, each of the white lines painted on the road represents 5mph, on examination, 6 lines behind your car and your fine, 7 and your fcked, if they can read the reg that is. That's also how they determine which car was speeding when two go through at the same time on two lane road, one speeding and one not. newer ones are digital and are linked directly to computer, but some are timed just be in operation at certain periods. the next generation, apparently due out next year, will take your picture, send you a text/email telling you you've been done and either ask for your bank details by reply or inform you of the amount they have just debited from your account details you have previously provided!then a letter informing you of your points/choice of speed awareness course. edit: the 6 and 7 measurement is for 30mph, obviously changes higher the speed limit.
  9. aye that works a treat, but, these folk who know best say to do it as Gonzo describes, they reckon it's best in the long run,but as Gonzo points out,not only noisy as fuck, but it's also hard to ignore your child when somethings obviously up with him/her, and for that reason iamout as the natives on here say, and always have been with mine.
  10. with you there mate,and share your pain, I fucked that method off after about 20 minutes,way I see it,any method that doesn't work after that length of time is shit anyway. pissed the wife off, but it's all right thinking these super nanny types on TV and writing shit in magazines know everything , but they don't have to listen to it all night with no sleep then get up at 6 and do a days work. I'm more favourable of he " you get up and give him what he wants to get him to shut the fuck up love" method myself, and I find that helps me sleep a lot better
  11. did he have a green and yellow scarf,? them Glazers out types usually do

    Gypos

    aye,I watched that,absolute disgrace, all this catching and eating rabbits and dear too,the "living off the land by poaching" tradition,all for the cameras, that lad didn't get that fat by eating rabbits he'd chased across a field. was pretty much bullshit to be honest, advertised as showing how gypsies settle feuds "their way", but the fight the lad had was not a traditional dispute settlement as his opponent changed at he last minute,and he didnt know who he was,so couldn't have had a feud to settle with him more likely a prize fight, which the other fella didn't seem too interested in,as one crack and he gave up. mind you, this coppers program that is on now,isn't showing the "normal" members of society in a good light either,so maybe he gypsies are watching that and thinking, "thank fuck we dont live like them"!
  13. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking. I have good news and I have bad news. Which would you like first? ..." The good news" shout the passengers.... Ok, in about 100 years we will have 11 Oscars....
  14. Ladies and Gentlemen. This is your Captain speaking. If you look to the right, you will see the beautiful island of Giglio. And if you look to the left, you will see a man waving at you from a lifeboat. That is me
  15. You can have the choice, local or general, I was told, If I had the general and went asleep, i would have to stay in overnight, whereas local and awake you're in and out in an hour. That seemed the preferred method during the consultation, but, at 11 mins past two, i would've given anything to be asleep, but, a strange at it seems, the injection is similar pain to that of a dentist with a slight hint of a kick in the stones for a second. be warned though, just when i was thinking, ah well that's the worse bit over, he then says, "right, that's the left done, just going to do the right now" which is worse, only for the fact you know whats coming but cant see, as the have a screen up over you mid rift. This screen also stops you reaching down and punching his lights out when he first does it too.
  16. in Beaumont hospital,it takes from 11 mins past two until 26 minutes past two, as the clock on he wall was the only thing I could focus on, so know this as fact. the egg crest sandwiches and brew after are ace too. taking your sample into Bolton Royal is the worse bit, discretion is a foreign word to the receptionists there.
  17. ?6000 for what the police said took 6 months to dig? they could have earned more than that digging honestly in that time. mind you, if it took em 6 months to dig 100ft, they would've been fired off after a day.
  18. around 1995, coming out of a garage once after paying for diesel, checking the receipt, putting the card back in the wallet, thinking about what i was doing next rather than the precise moment, opened the car door, got in, then thought: "shit, this isn't my car" a the same time as a young girl, about 12, screamed her head off in the back seat. Jumped out, but didn't want to run off, as ha would make it look like I was up to something, tried for a second in my panic to say shhh it's ok through he window, made matters worse, every cunt on the forecourt looking at me, two lads stared to come over, but were beaten to me by the girls dad, who, after listening to my explanation, through the tyre of he wheel he was pushing my head into, said, just fuck off before I kill you.! was a long walk the fairly short distance to the pump I was at I can tell you. make matters worse, I was in the f?cking works van, just had a car the same at home, just on auto pilot. was a f?ckin nightmare.
  19. that is true, but the extra size gobs found on the average Bury inhabitant means they would not have to put as much thought into it. (no offence Matt )
  20. It could do I suppose, but I think they eat them there too, It is, after all, only a pasty on a barm, no real secret recipes or owt.
  21. seriously? you've never heard of them? do you live in Bolton?
  22. as well as Auschwitz, there is a tour of the Jewish quarter that would interest you too in that case.
  23. second all this, been twice and loved it, though it was summer when I went which influenced the "head like a loose button" effect mentioned above. Down the side/back streets between the square and the "planty" you will find plenty of good places to eat and drink. Also,on he square you can get horse and carriage tours, nowt like the ones in Blackpool, really well turned out horses and carriages with some of the fittest women drivers you will see, paid a tenner ish for an hours ride around the city whilst drinking bottles of Zweic, was excellent and would recommend that, but as I said , was summer when I went so may not be on or to cold to sit there in Feb.
  24. seen loads moaning and commenting on it on facebook, but I haven't got a clue what it is to be honest
