It’s been a bad few months for them for sure.

Ended up talking to quite a few locals over there last week (not even thinly veiled)

Tbh they mostly seemed a bit meh about Trump. Pretty much he's gone, no longer relevant, move on

Democrats more worried about Biden losing them votes and Republicans worrying about getting a credible candidate

I met some the other week on holiday. Most of them the pretty much the same. There was one couple though who definitely want him back in, they were adamant that the last election was rigged and he was robbed. The same couple also reckon that Biden is only being kept alive by drugs and he's just the "puppet" of some sort of sinister cabal. They were proper loons 🙂

Did the bloke have Pantherella socks on?

One of the weirdest encounters I've ever had was in Kuala Lumpur on New Years Eve 2016/17. Was sat at a bar having a pint, and a Malaysian bloke sat next to me and decided to strike up a conversation, presumably because I was obviously a foreigner. Told me he used to be a Muslim but had converted to Christianity, and genuinely believed Donald Trump was the second coming of Jesus Christ. Probably the most bizarre conversation I've ever had.

Talking of odd conversations- was in my local and met a guy called Roger. He seemed nice but was a full on loon bag brexiteer - ie fuck it all we need to be alone as an island.

Anyway turns out he wrote 'I'd like to teach the world to sing..' 

Couldn't give a fuck about that now. Aye, the 60s were great.

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure they were knock-off's from the street market.

One of my customers told me today he'd just had a message saying an attack is imminent.

He said he will feel sorry for the people that are left and the only ones left will be people just outside the explosion zone. 

Same guy told me his house is haunted the other week and the ghosts are two kids that were murdered there.

Ill give 2/1 on that he murdered the kids if it actually happened.

They are bobbins anyway. Happy socks are where it's at - I'm very happy paying ten quid for those.

(Altough I did pay 30 quid for 50 pairs from some Liverpool fella - not sure he was straight up but the socks are fab)

I landed in Mexico on September 11 2001.

by tea time, the yanks were pissed up, playing volleyball in the pool and chanting U-S-A

A day later, a bloke from Texas I was talking to just looked at the telly we were sat near at a bar, and said “New York is a cesspit anyway”

Theyre fucking weird.

My nana in law lived in Blackpool for 30 odd years, my Mrs spent ever summer there. As soon as her fella died, right back to Durham!

I was a bit disappointed tbh. Thought those of Mexican origin that I chatted to down near the border would be a bit revved up but they just shrugged their shoulders and couldn’t have given less of a shit. More interested in whereabouts in London, Manchester is located

Did they ask you if you knew the Queen? I genuinely got asked that in Missouri many years ago, after the bloke had ascertained I wasn't Australian.

Ha ha no but we did have to explain that we weren’t German or Dutch a couple of times even when we said that we were from Manc

Also in Missouri at the time of the Queen Mother’s death, folk were coming up to me offering condolences for my loss.

Aaah, it was you they met! Uncle Emmet said he'd met a Bolton Wanderers fan during his French sojourn.

I do hope so.  A man of taste. Anything to earn the UK profits overseas is fine by me.

4 pairs for £5 in TK Maxx at the minute......

Pay full price and support a British industry FFS. 

In true Mod fashion, I packed in buying/wearing them once I knew that the hoi polloi were in on it. I partially blame myself for this in broaching the subject on here over a decade ago. TK Maxx? Fucking hell - Pete Meaden will be turning in his grave.

I'll be fucked if I am going to mention Abelard shirts after this fucking debacle.

Anybody paying for than £8 for 5 pairs of socks is a fucking lunatic as far as I'm concerned! 😁

Could this be the post that finally unites @Not in Crawley@bolty58 in holy matrimony? 💒 🙂

Only if he finally comes out of the closet. Our love will dare to speak its name!

Next socks are fucking extortionate! 😡
