  1. I do with between 2 and 4 hours sleep a night at the mo although I did manage 14 hours last night due to the fact that Mrs Cure was returned from ospickle so I didn't have to shout at the kids. And there's washing up and laundry to do. Lazy bint.
  2. Brilliant bloke, funny and a gentleman to boot.
  3. That's about the way to do it Mounts, but you still gotta shift a shedload of these at that price to make good money, and it's a lot of effort. I bought a job lot of NOS Rover/MG parts at cheap money a couple of months ago but they've gone straight into storage as I know that they'll fetch nowt at the moment but give it 5-10 years and they should fly out. I think the point SJM was trying to make was if there was anywhere tis stuff could be got for and them do the hard work. I know of a woman who flogs cake decorations on ebay at around about a quid a time free P&P and she's always having building work done on her house, flash motor, private schooling for the kids so she's either telling fibs and has secretly won the lotto or she's shifting a serious amount of this stuff for minimal outlay. Saying that her feedback is over 100K apparently.......
  4. I got a load from a reclaiming place down Brewery Lane in Leigh. Can't remember what they were called but they cut a maple beam to the exact size and thickness I needed to re-do the bed on my pick up that I had at the time, put the rest of the rusty shit heap to shame! Sadly, they aren't there anymore and I've no idea where they went as A: They had complete mill office interiors for sale and oak panelled rooms which were beautiful, and B: It renders my comments completely pointless................
  5. Seriously? Do these new houses not have floorboards? Well, every day's a school day!
  6. Fuck me, too many occasions to think about. Some involving alcohol, others cars, motorcycles or certain recreational substances which kinda altered your mindset a tad. Most have been relayed to me after the incident as I was in no fit state to remember. All which you would nowadays probably end up looking very very silly, or dead. Or both.
  7. Our hall looked fine with the bare floorboards. Caulked between them and sealed the edges then sanded and polished, look lovely!
  8. An hour and a half??? My Mrs can spend 3 or 4 hours in there doing a 'big shop' no problem at all! Remember once she dropped me off at the match near the gates then parked up in a parent and child spot and went off to do her shopping. She was still in there after the match when I met her, so we got our stuff and went to her car which had a ticket on it. I felt sorry for the store manager who had both barrels and a big bag of C4 off her as she proceeded to make him almost eat her recipt for just over ?100 for the shopping she'd just done. Summat along the lines of 'try it again sunshine.....................bollocks off.....................fuckwit............" Etc etc etc. It's true though, they can't clamp you and it's nigh on impossible to enforce, they just prey on pesioners and stupids who shit themselves when they see a yellow ticket on their windscreen, panic, then pay up. Mr Tesco says he pays the profits of the fines to cheridee but I reckon it's bollocks as I've never seen him handing an oversized cheque over to some organisation.....
  9. I looked into this myself last year to see what I could get in from China and flog loads at a small profit but the problem is that everything's already been done to the extent that I could buy the same stuff off ebay cheaper than I could buy it in from China myself! There must be summat but if you're importing you need someone over there to qc your stuff before they ship it so you don't get sold a pup. Still looking myself. Got a couple of ingenius ideas of my own though which I know wouldn't sell at the mo, I'll have to sit on them for when the good times are a rollin' again....
  10. Deserved win for the sheep shaggers. Thought they'd get turned over in the second half but to be fair stood their ground. Manly had a lot of decisions against them but they were for a reason. Th'aussies weren't nearly as polished as they usually look and in that way I think Leeds outplayed them because Many were rattled.
  11. I'll get the popcorn. Turning out to be another classic.
  12. It's my old age, I get confused. Particularly with wigan's most delectible pastry product and the Prince of Darkness. Or was that Justin Hawkins? See? Off I go on another tangent. Cosine. Hypotenuse.
  13. It must've been good old British oil then, hard to extract apparently due to stiff upper lip.....
  14. Sorry! You're right. How the fuck I'd get his name wrong is beyond me seeing as he has several pie shoppes in wiggin that I frequent on an, er, frequent basis..... Both halfwits though.
  15. Billy Parkinson sold up years ago Micky, sold out to Speedy Plant hire but moved it all off that site. My mate is a manager there and might be able to sort summat out. He's a Wanderer too...
  16. That halfwit george osbourne has been on the telly tonight telling us that we'd all be a few grand better off in our pockets if we gave the Falklands back to the argies (and ship any Falkland islanders back here who want to stay British) which is probably true. He also went on to explain that the entire rest of the world except the UK and the Falklands wanted them to return to argie control. Now, I know this mongalong only gets his kicks from being 'controversial' on the telly, but there are two things here that get my goat: 1: Personally I couldn't give a flying fuck if it costs money. These are British citizens who are entitled to the protection of the British Navy when under threat AND 2: If the Islanders want to remain British then it's no business of any other countries. If I remember rightly, most of South America was colonised by the Spanish and the indiginous population wiped out, so really if they want their Falklands back then I think they should vacate their countries and bugger off back to Spain. Same goes for the septics if they stick their noses in. Columbus didn't discover America. He invaded it. So to the greasy argies and their cronies: 3 words Pot Kettle Black
  17. If 8 out of 10 cats preferred the taste of whiskas, do the other 2 prefer Lesley Judd?
  18. Well it's his birthday today so he'll no doubt be treating himself to more unsuitable footwear in a garish hue. I'd wager a fetching pair of clogs in shocking pink with spangles to match those godawful bright yellow boots he so proudly displays you can see him at the other end of the ground..... Failing that he might just stick his finger in a dyke on his way home from work. The dirrrrty fokker....
  19. Smileys the man, avoid Vistaprint and our asian brethren who do a million full colour for a tenner, they can't spell for shite even when you give them a finished proof!
  20. I have no idea, but you must remember that she's a welsher. I love a nice bit of brisket done in it, just falls to bits when you take it out! I'll be doing pea & ham soup later in the week, my sausage casserole and cheesy mash was brill, not a scrap left on the kids plates and I've got plenty of gravy left to put in a beef & onion pie I'll make for Thursday. I love cooking when I've got time!
  21. These young rapscallions seem to be doing quite well for themselves of late: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqR19NYRwXU&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL Managed by a good friend of mine, dodgy haircuts aside, I like 'em!
  22. It is a work of genius, This has had me on the floor giggling like a girl for the past 10 minutes: http://www.landoverbaptist.net/showthread.php?t=74380
  23. That might be a list of 'notable' old Bolts but not as I would say famous seeing as I've only ever heard of about 5 of them. I'm sure there are many more who didn't go to Bolton School. The list reminds me of the Stoneybridge Olympic bid from 'Absolutely' to be honest, naming shit things in an attempt to make them sound desirable. Can't post the vido though.............
