Grammar Schools
Biggest problem these days is that for disruptive kids to be excluded, they near on have to be murderers. Its these who ruin any school for the others. Only private schools are allowed to exert proper discipline in this modern age.

Town Centre Latest
We did postal voting for the referendum, as we were going on holiday. First time we had done it. Crossed my mind how easy it would be to do the forced voting thing. I agree with your thoughts on stricter rules. People like me should have to individually go down to the local council offices ahead of the vote to register and vote.

Greek Holidays
Used to have English 3 pin but I thought this was island wide due to it being under British administration from 1878 to 1960. Its why they have our traffic lights and drive on the left. They used to do the sunbed thing back then. We had to make do with a spot my wife didn't think much of and she caused a diplomatic incident when she decided to swop half way through the holiday. The owd fella who did the tagging was not a happy bunny. Nice to know they have modernised the rooms though.

Paralympics Rio.
Just been watching some of the heats in the pool. Didn't realise that there are 152 swimming events over two genders (with one mixed relay), across 14 classification and four strokes that will be contested during these games! I make that 17024 events, each with heats and finals. How the hell are they going that lot done and dusted in 10 days or am I missing something??!! Edit, they've just explained that many classifications don't have an event so it is only 152 events with heats and finals doh! Watching this I don't know how some of those fellas manage to float never mind swim 400 metres!

Real Ale.
OK is good in my speak . We've been down a few times this year mostly on sunny friday evenings. Great sat outside on the tables getting the last of the sun. Doesn't look like a lot of room inside for those winter nights though.

Real Ale.
So true. Always liked real ale. Though even back in the late 80's you'd get some pretentious fuckers at the festivals scoring ales on the programmes whilst drinking out of their personalised tankards. Viz parodied them perfectly in as the "Real Ale Twats". Suppose the hipsters are todays reincarnation. As an aside they opened a "Buffer Stop" pub at the Rawtenstall end of the Bury/ Rawtenstall railway. Punters there tend to be ok, barmaids good looking and friendly and the ales both bottled and draft are varied and spot on.

Brian Clough Story
Aye, heard that too. Listened to the Clough thing and thought it was bollocks too, not surprised Hill says most of its not true, Saunders is a cunt.

Nationwide Shutdown
This opinion writer in the Guardian tried to justify it yesterday, however even 99% of the normally hand wringing apologists in the comments section below the article thought it was absolute bollocks, which is probably a first: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/sep/06/climate-change-racist-crisis-london-city-airport-black-lives-matter

How long before the missive gets through to Burnley? Mobile post boxes seem to have proliferated around here this summer.

Big Sams First England Squad
The Rooney quote was a tad unfortunate but I think Sam is trying to build a better team spirit than we have seen in England sides for years. To do this he will back his players in public especially his chosen captain. Personally I believe Rooney's fitness will not last the whole campaign and he will not be around for Russia.

Big Sams First England Squad
Job done. Pity Slovenia got a late equaliser as I reckon they are the biggest "threat" in this group if there is one. Sams job will start in earnest in the spring of 2018, that back four needs changing, Rose, Walker, Cahill and Hart simply are not good enough defenders for the finals.

Fao Spider
Dont do food bins around our way. Green for general, blue for recycling, grey for paper and brown for garden. All large unless you request a smaller one. Seems to work but I think most folk are a bit lax as what they put in the blue recycling until a couple of days before collection.

Who Remembers This ?
Remember that one well. Was working 7 -3 at the time. Plenty of time for me to get home and set up some tins in front of the TV. Not a bad team that but failed to qualify for Euro 84 in France.

My horse shit is obviously different than yours. I guess you would want these engineers as immediate neighbours without question?

These Ere Migrants That Keep Drowning....
Every time I see media of the camps I see hordes of fit young well dressed men and women of mostly African or Middle Eastern descent. I consider them to be "economic migrants" who do not wish to stay in France as the work permits and ID requirements are more stringent. In the UK these lovely fellas can disappear into the black economy. If you take in your "10 refugees" please can you ensure you house them nowhere near me ta!
