They’re all gangin up on me “Help mah boab!”

As for your scholarly detective league table @desperate-dan I seem to remember Morse was near the bottom.Deeply flawed analysis.

Hey @karen68 I lived in Fraserburgh on the north coast for a time and they have their own lingo(Doric).Took me a while to get used to phrases like:

Fitlike ma loon (How are you young man) Obvs that was quite a way back.

Ging awa n spear Dan (go and ask Daniel)

Ma quiney’s a sair een (My daughter has a sore eye)

There used to be a documentary…[Read more]

Yes he should have looked left then right.

Man City’s defensive jitters continue to haunt them losing a 3 goal lead with 15 mins left.Lot of Schadenfreude around just now.

File this under:

“The customer is always wrong”.

One of my old biddies (they’re the worst)gave me a roasting today.Why?Did I leave bird poo on the glass?Miss a window?Break a garden ornament?No she complained about…[Read more]

Always been a big fan of the delusional greatman, inexplicably cut off in his prime by penny pinching Beeb. Funnily enough when anyone mentions trouser fire I think of this… https://youtu.be/A2sMVeDG7QI?si=RXz9J9uubhcIhJ1K

Agree with Dan about the radio shows but the tv series are well worth checking out on Prime or Netflix I…[Read more]

I reckon if Dave Prowse had done those road safety adverts as Darth Vader they would’ve been more effective.Zapping kids with his lightsabre who run across roads without looking would get my attention as a six year old.

Took the boy for what seems like his monthly visit to Specsavers today for repairs.He goes through more glasses than a clumsy waitress.His current pair were being held together with superglue and gaffa tape.My wife said he was starting to look like a young Jack Duckworth.(One for the kids there).

Pretty sure Tufty had a cameo in Life on Mars.

I remember him from the 1970s and Willy Weasel getting knocked down when running across the road for an icecream.

Do you want this site to close down completely @catsnbirds?

Maybe I should try that.

Hey @hunnybunny I think the Welsh rugby team need to hastily arrange a friendly game against The Seychelles or Andorra just to get that monkey off their back before the Six Nations starts in Jan. Mind you Andorra might give you a game.

Speaking of red squirrels saw one with incredible road sense last week(forget which day it was,one of those nad freezers).It ran along the grass verge on my side of the road and I prepared to brake in case it made a sudden dart.But no,it stopped on the grass until I’d passed and as I looked at it in my rear view mirror I kid you not it looked…[Read more]

Some good bands on Later tonight esp St Vincent,Annie in fine form.

Trouble in paradise? Surely not. https://youtu.be/_ZxkErDC16A?si=ad1UxlsnLsym0-53

Hello guys saw the funniest thing today.You know there’s been a pile of wet weather,sure you’ve sampled some of storm Bert?Anyway my daughter has a little part-time job at a shop only 1/2 mile from home so normally she walks but with the weather being so inclement I said I’d pick her up after her shift.

So I’m parked up waiting when this guy…[Read more]

Must be nice to be so popular HB.My original avatar(which Kathy kept nagging me to get) has returned.

@birdleader  please accept our gratitude for the continued efforts you make to keep this great site running,don’t know where we’d be without it.If you ever decide you’ve had enough we’re stuffed.

ps hope your son’s goal keeping exploits continue apace.

I do seem to remember I think @catsnbirds & @tompuss posting calendar pictures of semi-naked firemen holding kittens.Purely for research purposes and only for the cute kitties.

Did Steve mean the hunky guys info?
