the fields of Athenry, is not a rebel song in the true sense.It's a fictional ballad, not a true story, it's only become political due to Celtic taking it on as an anthem, and adding a few words, so people assume is somehow shows support for that side of things, when in fact it's nothing to do with it and is about a time long before all that,(famine times) and could be just as easily about someone from Bolton who was shipped off to Australia for nicking corn or sheep etc, as a few were. It's used for years as Galway's anthem, which is as far away from being a IRA stonghold as Darcy Lever.

didn't realise it was that sort of book to be honest, might get a copy. the poppy isn't a religious symbol as stated, but surley burning it on rememberence day could, even should be deemed as inciting something (I think some of the were) It's this type of thing that drives a further wedge as people see it as one lot getting away with insulting their culture, while any attack on the others makes the news and results in arrests etc.

Darcy Lever was/is known as "Dolly Tub City"

the bull isn't shut, the feathers is on Breightmet Fold lane though

same here,gave him the money to get a season ticket with his mates "we're going in NSL Dad, we're not going to be Idiots corner Dad I only want to watch the football Dad , Not into all that shoes off stuff Dad please can I have a ticket with em Dad" gets the wife to agree, only for him to then come back with a ticket for under the scoreboard because "his mate forgot what they had agreed and got mixed up" now his facebook, which i think he forgets I can see, is full of statements like " at u with your shoes off giving that fat geordie shit " etc etc. so he now thinks the situation is under review but I suppose it's part of growing up and nowt I didnt do to a certain extent, just that my dad couldn't read it on facebook, even if I was stupid enough to put it on there regarding the WSL corner, I was there yesterday, and found it very amusing how irate some Geordies got, to a point of being thrown out, just from some in the corner doing not much more than pulling faces at them !

quality

hough fold,mainly, and all adjoining streets around there and South Drive etc, but works along Longsite also. gas mains. stich mi lane, tottington road and bradshaw brow, as well as tonge moor road and parts of crompton way up to now.

a lot of major disruption jobs are planned for school holidays,on council insistence sometimes there is just not enough time, believe me, the grey hairs on my head are from tying to organise 3 months worth of work for the 6 week period the schools are off and the jobs need doing. I dont ask the utilities anything as I am the one doing the asking to the councils, the emergency card isn't played that much to be fair, but sometimes shit happens, half a meter difference in the plans can cause traffic chaos as we'd have to shut a road at short notice, council insist on 6 weeks but you can get an emergency if needed. sometimes it is a genuine emergency,but usually, in my case anyway, the council get plenty of notice. speaking of notice, and so it doesnt come as a surprise to you,if you live in Harwood, your going to be even more pissed off by roadworks next April, and I'd find a new route to Morrisons, dont say i didnt warn you

they do in fairness, where possible, but not always possible either, all the utilities don't go in the same direction or at the same depth, but joint operations are carried out and planned where possible, I deal with this all over the place and in my experience, Bolton is one of the best at trying to minimise disruption, but in any case, if certain utilities say they need to dig up the road, then they dig it up and there isnt much the council can do about it,only be notified about it and insist the road is full width re surfaced if it comes under section 58. the council highways depts get all the flack for something they can only try and control, and i can tell you they are as keen as mustard with late fines certain jobs have to be done with a window of a few weeks,no matter how soon after someone else has been in there to do something else,and that doesnt take into account emergencies and the unexpected jobs that crop up. but people just see it all as "the council has dug up the road again!"

of course, in that case 3" 4.5" &6 " then ( i think)

6" 9" &12"

Am I alone in not knowing what the f?ck this means?

just did it and scored 12, don't know whether that's good or bad, and once i saw it was a facebook thing it lost a bit of credibility in my eyes, but it could be spot on as I know nothing of the subject and can't comment either way.

Grrrreat, got a frosty reception though

good, that's it's exact purpose, rather than to make you blindly follow "rules" . well done on passing too, as it's not one of these courses you can just turn up to and everybody passes

how did you find it? interesting but hard going, or mind numbingly boring or a combination of both? on the point, it is the interpretation of a perfectly sensible rule by a halfwit that causes the HSE a bad rep, the rules/recommendation the HSE apply are always for the safe well being of all, and usually as a result of a previous accident pattern to prevent happening again, and the HSE is often lumped in the same bracket as a company's H&S dept, which isnt the same, it's the halfwits in the H&S depts (in some places) that make the stupid company policies based on their interpretation of the HSE, a good example of this is the goggles one by smiffs which i have also experienced and its f?ckin stupidity at it's best, and ironically, is more likely to breach health and safety law than comply with it.

Range on Crompton way has isles stocked full of Christmas shit, tinsel, snowmen, Father Christmas suits the lot. Good few isles of it too.

I've been a few times with the kids, but stay at relatives so cant really recommend anywhere to stay or anything, but there's loads to do around the place. http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Attractions-g186600-Activities-Cork_County_Cork.html Fota is good in the summer, you'll need to check out if it's open when you go, but if the kids are any way interested in animals and stuff it' very good.

aye, but they wont be able to sing "couldn't score in a brothel" any more

they screened the Wolves game in our FA cup run, ithink, i was at the game and seem to remember everyone singing "can you hear us burnden park"

absolutely, she used the green bin, which is for garden waste only. any right minded person would've used the grey bin, that's the one for cats and other unwanted household pets.

aye, by putting the litter in the bin

you forgot ditch digging/ tarmac laying other than that, spot on, and oh, id check your car in the morning if I was you

it often,as with other "derogatory" terms,depends on the context in which it's used,just to call someone a fenian because they're Irish/Catholic can be insulting and not a true definition of the word in some cases, however,anyone who had republican sympathies, violent or otherwise, could rightly be described as a fenian, in the terms the word has come to represent. just as calling anyone protestant "an orange bastard", calling anyone catholic "fenian bastard" is inaccurate and could be insulting.
