  1. Another neighbour reported yesterday that he would be watching the frogs riding bikes this afternoon instead of using his ifollow code. Takes all sorts 😨
  2. House next door has a chequered 10yr history. The builder never managed to sell it . So it has always been let out. 95% of the time to ok folk. Only had to tap one scroat from Droylesdon on his beak once. 15 months ago it was sold at auction. New owner immediately converted it . Put locks on all the doors and sublet it to a person of colour who fronted it as an air b&b. Contary to all rules and regs on the estate( we pay a maintence fee). After an eventfull new years eve . ( old bill involved). The air b&b is no more . It had been empty until yesterday. But she has now rented it out. I have no issue with that. But !!! Came home to a white van being unloaded. Spoke to a very nice young girl who informed me her friends were moving in. From Essex . Family of 6.( moved for work reasons) Dad looks about 68. Mum 70 4 kids the oldest looking 16 , 17 , 19 23 year olds i have ever seen .More like all late 20's. Young girl then asked me , was it all right if they wanted anything over the weekend could they knock on my door when she left. As they are a bit confussed and none of them speak or understand much english. Just checked the back garden , bloody sure there are some bloody life jackets !!
  3. I thought last seasons start was bad . Yes it was BWFC against the world . No players , not much hope . Yes Wycombe was all about pride and passion. Today is just shit. Season ticket to watch ifollow . Sat in a room on ya own. Empty stadium , so no chance of getting behind the players. The pubs are all shut because of some stupid muppets Bury Road. And yeah i miss my bloody not right mates. Our goal machine better get his arse in gear so i can enjoy my Saturday night curry.
  4. 8 pages in and not a mention of Def Leppard . Never ever got them. Did try bought Hysteria like everyone else did. Started watching them 3 times at Download. 3 years ago at the MEN. Triple header. Black Star Riders Whitesnake both brilliant. Def Leppard came on last . 5mins later i was on the train home. Strange thing is i enjoy listening to Joe Elliot on Planet Rock
  5. Hot female traffic warden on parade. Finally something besides Xrecords worth visiting town for. Very helpfull towards an muppet who couldn't understand why the machine would not take his cash. " its free for 2 hours Darling "
  6. Mavin Gaye. Now he is a song smith. Whats going On ? Is one of my favorite albums , yes its a generational thing . Every home had a copy. I love my classic rock and metal music. But my music collection is vast and varied. Earliest album is by Robert Johnson. I enjoy blues ( very very old) In all its forms , even the old jug band and french influenced. My Jazz collection ( usually played in winter time ) is a strange collection heavily influenced by Bix Beiderbecke . Which brings me back to Marvin Gaye and the wonderfull era of Motown and Soul. The female artists of this era are the most amazing vocalists of all time. Power and Passion. Hot , sexy Women who could hold a note and strut the stage. The all guy groups could fill any dance floor or disco. Talking of disco , i also respect The Bee Gees ( not the suger plum Saturday Night stuff). But the New York Mining story albums .Any live album by them Rocks. Must admit that i do not know much about Northern Soul , but it was raw and powerfull . I count myself very lucky to have lived through such a vast musical era before Simon Cowell almost single handedly managed to sanitise the nations ears. Blues - Soul - Jazz - Motown - Sixtys pop - 70's Top of the Pops variety- Glam Rock - Punk - The Manchester Bands - Classic Rock - Prog Rock ;Heavy Metal- And now Danish & Viking metal . All excellant. ( even a copy of Crocodile Shoes lurks in the loft). But NOT one note of (C) rap exists in my house. Rant over Bolty . What ever music you love , play it often and listen to the words and move to the beat.
  7. One of many that Lemmy wrote. People just don't know. A certain Mr Ozbourne has had a number of so called rock ballards scripted by Lemmy.
  8. Email from Jet 2. Carihuela cancelled .22nd Sept. Going to move it 12 months on. Easiest way. Did the same with Tenerife in July. Cost me £100 more .
  9. Certainly was and when they played Deane Road.
  10. Limp ? ( hastely adds left or right leg ) Or is it better ?
  11. Ah i see the beer is strong tonight grass hopper.
  12. Stopped a concrete pour yesterday . To rescue a little bèetle that was panicking like mad. Held the job and 9 guys up for 4 minutes while i took it too some nearby bushes. Slab is the size of 3 football pitches so loads of ickle creatures must have gone to the big insect world this week. But this one caught my eye. Looked Nicky Hunt running all over the pitch but getting no where.
  13. No , you obviously have not listened to it. Ace of Spades is Not a true reflection of the overall Motorhead experience. Try another couple Whorehouse Blues. Lost Woman Blues God was never on your side. Love me forever Orgasmatron Now tell me they are all balls to wall metal. I await your judgement.
  14. It will be . Big lad but didn't feel the need to throw his weight around. We respected him . Yep supped in all the pubs below the Waggoner. So Mr Grey our paths have crossed before.
  15. Motorhead played Rock and Roll. Lemmy wrote amazing ,clever and emotive lyrics. Not many can find away to make Parallelogram rhyme. He did . Now trust me on this Bolty. Listen to the track 1916. You will get a lump in your throat. It should be played everwhere on Remembrance Sunday. Not Lemmys finest hour but bloody close.
  16. Saw them at the Ritz last year . With Steve Hillage. Latest album is a must have.
  17. Holding ??? Cards. Make sure you play it at the right time , or else it will cause up roar in a game of Nine Card Don. Get it out early so your partner can play his 5 or 9. Other views , Tried holding one on Moor Lane after a City game. Should have just punched him. Gave him enough time to land his forehead on my left eye ball. Ouch. 1 more . Lemmy had an Ace .
  18. Mr Manning did a regular spot there. Sometimes he was shite ,, but others when he stuck to telling tales was great. Seen the Salford Jets there. Biggest turn i saw . Ginger Baker . ( absolute mad man , hell of a drummer). Only downside was the Stones Bitter . 1 pint led to a 2 day headache. Barry on the door was not one to suffer fools or muppets.
  19. Been a long day . Was on site at 5.30.
  20. There is a pic on twitter right now of Leeds arriving outside The station. Can a young person find it and then upload it to here please
  21. Not bad but , Suzi Quatro blew them out of the water.
  22. My faith in humanity and this website is renewed. Not quite their finest hour but a great pitch. Quark Strangeness and Charm , nails it for me.
  23. Not a patch on Lucy and her " warm front moving in " But what ever floats your boat.
