Aye, it's that time of year. I used to have to get mine from the pet shop until last year when Mr Tesco's corner shoppe started stocking bags of 'em. But plenty alicker though.

I like La Salsa very lots. Only downside - bit of a faff them bringing a mouthful of each when you order. I think we had three running around after us last time we 'visited' as I kept telling them to 'keep it coming' but in my amazingly fluent cod Español (with the occasional 'ey up' chucked in for good measure. Not really arsed that it's 'rustic'.The best place for a nosebag when I lived in 'Orridge was Casa Bruno when Bruno himself had it. I could never fault the quality and value of that place. And he was as daft as a brush too.The only problem was Tuesday nights. Fuck all open takeaway wise on a Tuesday, it was like their day off or summat. Selfish bastards.

If you did want to take an RPG into a city centre then you'd better be quick..... http://2.8hourslater.com/

Nah Daz, nobody'd be able to get off their arses here to make that...............................

China on four wheels too DBP but it's all been well known for years. I can point you to a few Chinese websites which will flog you anything you want including motors that have shall we say 'a certain panache'? But it's true they're screaming out for Western goods. That bloke hired a fleet or Audis and a BM convertible for his wedding at less than £300 for the day! Oh yes, and of course they were all red. Must be big Salford fans.....

This has been a problem for the last few years in China for the luxury car brands. If they can't get hold of a luxury brand, they copy it! Look at the rip off Mercs and BMW's they build over there. Absolutely identical in ;looks but absolutely shit quality. Add that to the fact that whenever some marque tries to take the Chinese manufacturer to court (in a Chinese court!) the court will always side with the Chinese manufacturer as in the famous X5 ripoff "it looks nowt like an X5" said the Chinese court (in a broad North Western English accent), so a lot of them decided to sod it and open plants there anyway. They've bought MG Rover out anyway and shipped production over there lock stock and barrel, Mercedes have a factory there and many more will follow if they aren't already doing so. Rather than someone copy their brand badly they might as well cash in as more Chinese get wealthy enough to afford Beemers, Audis, Mercs, Jags etc.... Now the problem will be in the future that the Chinese lot have seen our Western decadence and fancied a bit of it for themselves so they're already after more money, better conditions etc. so is it only a matter of time before production either moves elsewhere (but where?) or comes full circle back to Blighty? Even the Indians are now getting all greedy and wanting flash motors and swanky nights out at Berni Inns. The Chinese have always been very good at copying stuff, and then not the best quality but they're no longer the great innovators of centuries ago. They need capitalist economies' cash to finance lots of what they want to do (house building, road building, factories opening) so they have to still manufacture stuff to export and there's just a never ending circle.

They had to move him off the beach so the tide could come in.........

I've heard much, much worse from these so called 'bands' and they're not even as good as a bad pub covers band. The thing I don't get about this is that the 'kids' think it's funny. At no point in the vido did my face crack. Am I getting old?

Motorola MR20 for me. Before all this pay as you go nonsense, I thought I was da man.....

It's a bit queer that your contract hire folks haven't sent new tax discs before the old ones run out. We've had contract hire cars and vans for years and we used to wonder how they could get a tax disc for the next 12 months a month before the old ones ran out but there you go, shmoke and mirrors an' all that. TBH if you drive around in them and the tax has been paid then no copper or VOSA bloke will look twice at you as it's all down on their 'puter and on their ANPR shit but aye, if you park one up and any fecker spies your out of date tax disc then it's down to the owner of the vehicle. We used to worry about parking tickets etc. too but never got charged, I think our 'special' (i.e. welshist) contract hire blokes were of the old school persuasion, i.e they 'disappeared'. The tickets that is, not the drivers.

Apparently he had a 'mare as he was a blinkered whilst waiting for the mane event then hoofed it before he got collared. Shoe-erly he'd have learned by now.....

Ah young Daz, that were in t'good old days before t'interweb and mobile phones etc..... We just sent out shite quality virus ridden brushes instead. What would anyone else expect from a ne'er do well half cut student?

I know it sounds as daft as one but I used to work for Bentley's brushes in Loughborough when I was at uni. Well, in the hols as they were literally next door. Shite job, decent pay for machine minding which paid the rent/ale/overdraft.....

It's good when I can saunter downstairs after a night on the piss, have a brew, read the news, get about 10 minutes work done..... It's bad when Mrs Cure is laid up in bed with this here 'morning (i.e. all fecking DAY) sickness so after taking kids to school, laundry and meal duties then followed by shopping then school run again so I manage about 10 minutes work until I fuck off to the pub. It's even worse when the kids are off school. Sometimes I feign 'work' so that I can go out otherwise I get feck all work done until I go to the pub. It'll be even worse when the fifth one arrives! I need an office again........

Hot (as opposed to merely warm) vimto was the drink of choice after a bike ride to the Mop, particularly on a winter's morn.

Shit music though. I was expecting a bit of Kylie at least!

Ken Briggs was a proper gent. Never actually taught me but was there to stand in sometimes. Read a load of his books and ate his toffees, he always had a bag of sweets in his pocket. Diddy Evans too. Former Black Watch nutter retrained as a vicar (somewhat undercover!) and R.E. teacher

Eeeeeeh, some short memories here....... I know what Diddles is trying to say but instead, there are some elements of the 'holier than thou' argument willing to stick their oar in, even though they're wrong. As usual. Again. With the Gary Speed issue what he said was trying to get some honesty out of those folks (many on here) who would slag him off, try to discredit what a rubbish footballing Welshist he was Et. Al. but of course as soon as the news broke about his death then the hypocrites danced the jig of the righteous man and praised him until kingdom come...................... I think those folks should be ASHAMED And all the DMB haters (me included) well what is it to be? Ok for you to slag them off and play satan's fiddle upon sportsmans graves whilst on the other hand commenting upon the Bradford tragedy? Hmmmmmmmmmmm, methinks from the silence of some of the regulars we know REALLY what folks are thinking. One rule for most, but if someone questions the status quo then there are some who are entitled to their opinions, but not ALL. I'm with Diddles on this. And a fatman on thin ice isn't a pleasant sight on a Saturday morning. Especially if I'm in my mankini......... Leave him the fuck alone. You are all welcome to your opinion, but it seems that some can have more of an opinion than others. Take a step back and look at yourselves.

Well.......................as my owd dad used to say (well, in actual fact, still does) "Them as can, does, them as can't ...teach. And them as can't teach.......................teach teachers" And our kid is some high fallutin' teacher in yon private school darn sarf and has so far never been on strike because she gets paid shedloads of cash for trying to drag other folks (albeit rich 'uns) kids up where their parents are either too rich to be arsed or just plain too rich. No excuse, just lazy feckers.

A 1934 Ford 3 window coupe. With fenders of course. Or a kebab for the short term. Both would be absolutely delish but an (almost) impossibility, especially living so close to the land that style forgot (Leyth).

No. Because you work daft hours in a funny country. And none are under 4 feet tall. SOZ!

Witness. Protection. Programme. They were trying to go it alone because either: British coppers no longer thought they were under threat/didn't have the funds (or thought they were so deeply 'lost' in the system that nobody would know) Or: The very people in the WPP were trying to manipulate them on pain of death. Whatever happened, it seems to have worked for someone. I doubt if they'll catch who either did it or ordered it. Cover up?

I presume NB is commenting on so called 'street workers' rather than the girls Alf is remarking about. Truth is, he's right. I shall not name names but I know a number of girls (i.e. friends of mine and the family) who this applies to, all of them with NO exceptions do it to either suppliment their income, pay for their education or do it because (hang on now because here's the rub) they LIKE IT! Now 'tis true these girls don't hang around Shifnall street or cruise bars for greasy reps and dj's, they adopt a strictly business attitude to get what they want, and fair play to them, they do indeed supply a service which can earn them pots of cash, none that I know are drug users, (heck, most of them neither drink nor smoke!) none use so called 'pimps' and none seem to be afraid of what they do (in a safety sakes way) as they all have 'regular customers' and can always say no if they want. They can pick and choose their clients. I've even been told that they can get a bag of money from clients without even having sex with them at all!!! Saying that, sex sells. Always has, always will. And one or two of the ones I know you really REALLY wouldn't think this is what they did. Sweet sweet little things, see them doing the school run in the mornings, husband off at work then they're doing the do for an hour or two until it's time to pick up the kids from school again. But wait! Here's a holiday to the Seychelles (recent) or an African safari (do folks still do this?) and all on saving their family allowance money and selling a few bits and pieces on ebay? Hmmmmmm............... Not that I'm a user of course (I think the wife would be a bit perturbed, or even worse, get ideas!) and I think I've had way over my fair share anyway. And I presume they charge more than a fiver for a knee trembler up against the park wall............
