Now, this forum is famous for being able to pick a side of an argument and stay with it no matter what. 

But what have you changed your position on. For me, it was fox hunting, I was very pro fox hunting for a variety of reasons but have changed my stance because well, it's barbaric and some traditions should probably be best put to bed.

Spider famously altered his thoughts on Brexit.... anyone else not sticking to position for the sake of it?

Will never change my mind with olives. Bloody awful. 

Olives are grim.

As for changing my mind, I can't recall doing it.

I can’t for my fucking life think of any reason someone from Bolton would support a fox hunt. Baffling.

Would you rather be...

A. Blasted to death with a shotgun?

B. Poisoned and die curled up in agony with internal haemorrhaging?

C. Garrotted with a noose?

Or...

D. Be told to get running, and if you hear a stupid horn tooting, pick up the pace?

Option 'D' all the way for me, I'd outfox them, lead them a reet merry dance.

They should quit raiding the bins at McDonald's and KFC - that's no way to train for a half-marathon.

Declan RIce. One of my favourite fooballers to watch now. Couldn't see it initially or didn't want to because of the hype 

MJ Williams doing the poor man's job had me watching Rice in a different light. He's a fantastic player. Rice is OK too

And Utd 

Don't forget you used to be Utd 

I won't

Used to be a tits man, now prefer arse/legs 

Eating fish, mainly salmon, can't get enough of it these days 

Morrissey, I'd not listen to him out of principle as I thought he was a right cunt, but I quite like him now

I know people who switched the other way.

I’m happy to be this side of that particular fence.

Blue cheese. Used to hate it but now the stronger the better.

Same with Coleman’s English mustard although I think that’s more about developing the palate for it and not just allowing my eyes to water like fuck with a pain in the sinus.

Cheese in general. Because of my mum I always thought cheese was horrible as a kid. I then realised she was wrong and weird and now I eat too much. 

My mum loved peanut butter that much that she called it something different to put me off dipping into her supply.   Pre-school she’d get “Euuuuwww’ all the way through her eating it.   I like it on brown toast now.

Wife was born into a “If it isn’t English food, it’s shit!”

When I met her we went out to Pink Panthers. If you remember, half of it was an Italian restaurant. I got a pâté with garlic bread. Wife wouldn’t touch it, recoiling in horror that anyone could put that shite in their mouth.

Eventually, and after a lot of cajoling, she tried it and loved it.

There’s still plenty of stuff she won’t eat, either because she thinks she won’t like it or because she doesn’t like the look of it. But slowly, we’re getting there.

Can’t think why anyone would. Absolutely cruel and barbaric. 
 

Id love to hunt them

Not sure what bolton has got to do with anything. 

My reasons were I didn't agree with New Labour going to war with the countryside over it, and it was done foolishly and without due respect. I think a better way to phase it out could have been proposed at the time.

Also the mainly urban British public who get up in arms about that sort of thing but collectively shrug at other more pressing matters that involve people, not foxes. As well as being completely overrun round here with foxes and at the time I'd happily organise an urban hunt.

Tyson Fury.....Used to detest him but now I've got a bit of a mancrush 😁.... C'mon the Gypsy King!! 

@Not in Crawley

Here, here.

Let the real toffs have their fun.

It's pure jealousy, I bet the faux posh, Alexandre 'my wife kicked me out and I slept in a Renault Espace like a vagrant as I've no mates and my family loathe me' Defeffal Sulaiman Pettigrew Boris Johnson, I bet the cunt can't even ride, he can barely ride a bike...

Apart from one poor sod (who got a good shoeing) I don't see anyone protesting badger-baitings by travellers - maybe because they'd get a good shoeing..?

I bet Rudy would change his tune if his Chicken run had been paid a visit by the wily Reynard...

If anyone wants to challenge bloodsports directly, most Sundays tinkers can be found doing some behind Burden 5's, digging into the slag beside the old steps from the Paddock toward The Haulgh...

Take weapons, really.

Finally, most foxes have mange anyway, take an injured fox to a vet, they'll give some spiel but ultimately it will be destroyed.

Up the Countryfolk.

Up the genuinely posh.

Down with 'aspirational' consumerist uppity class traitors.

If a fox got into my chickens then fair play he’d be welcome to them, but they can’t but if they did then that’s nature. Foxes have to eat.

Not some jumped up gammon toff with his horn running foxes  into the ground for “sport” . A lot of the dogs get injured as well and so can the horses. 

One wouldn't expect a city slicker to understand.

People who go on hunts aren't 'gammon' either.

Gammon are almost exclusively people born into penury who have 'bettered' themselves and get very angry and ruddy of cheek at the thought of; immigrants, disabled, gypsies, LBQT+, poor people, single mothers, eco-warriors, social justice campaigners etc. being handed a 'ladder' in life's 'Snakes and Ladders'...

"Why should they get help, I pulled myself up by my bootstraps etc."

They are simultaneously terrified of sliding down a 'Snake' and ending up back at square one, being 'Daisy and Onslow' again, having trampled and elbowed their way up to 'Hyacinth and Geoffrey' status.

Real poshos are very permissive and libertine - their money and status assured at birth they simply do as they wish in life...

A real toff wouldn't be seen dead going beet-red whilst murdering the English language trying to string a coherent sentence together on 'Question Time'.

Tally-Ho!

City slicker or Country bumpkin. You go murdering foxes you're a cock and deserve to fall off you're 16hands horse and get trampled into the mud then the hounds piss all over you ☺️

@bolton_blondie

People are murdered.

Not animals.

Foxes are canines.

Natural and opportunistic hunters.

They become hunted occasionally, big deal.

Go to PetsAtHome and buy a couple of mice and see, left alone, what your dog makes of them.

Probably a meal.

They're still hunters deep down, from the tiniest Yorkie to the largest Rottweiler, given half a chance they'd tear a fox (or a mouse) to pieces.

Look at Alan here (with the face tattoo) - offering up 'Stirrup Cups' to the hunt...

Grateful for their pest control efforts.

Good harmless fun for all.

Even poor people can follow on foot armed with spades and mongrels for any stragglers (vulpine ones).

I bet there's some reet class among the women/girls at their Balls.

Probably gagging to have their gene-pool widened by some bit of rough who's worked with their hands.
