Talking of the boy Dyer, I came across this the other day which is quite entertaining

Clearly no one here has ever been forced to watch Twilight in its entirety

[Cavcraft]

To be fair though Tayne Scotland has it's on parliament (or a version of it) and Wales have the assembly.

In return I can't imagine either of them ever flying an England flag full stop, football tournament or not.

I'd be happy to see England as a separate entity to Scotland, Wales and Ireland. It would also bring in competition for export/import trade and liven things up a bit in this shite island.

[Lankytim]

If Scotland was in the world cup and England wasnt im sure there would be a Scottish flags flying in England.

 

I really dont see what the big deal is TBH.

 

Scottish MPs can vote on English matters but English MPs cant vote on Scottish issues, I thought that was the case anyway. Thats why you have free tuition fees, no perscription charges e.t.c.. Seems you lot get a good deal from "the union"

[gearoil]

Me either. Stick the flag up, enjoy the occasion - end of.

 

If the shoe was on the other foot, Scotland would turn into a mass of blue and white in about 0.0921 of a second. FACT.

 

Anyhoo.

 

WORK. worked the last 28 days IN A ROW for fuck all extra ( I'm on a salary ) supposed to finish at 5 today for a much overdue week off, but the powers that be can't get anyone in from another branch to cover for me until Monday mid morning as they are on a fucking jolly at a trade show in Greece. Used to have 5 people working here, and we could rota out of hours & weekend work which in the shipping industry there is a hell of a lot of, but we have gradually been cut down to just 2, so I'm pretty much at the beck and call of the job 24/7...

 

Targets are still the same though... CUNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

FFS, this really grips my shit. Great Britain is a geographical term. This country is called the United Kingdom. I know, it says so on the FRONT of my passport.

Ireland is a separate entity. I think you'll find it's an entirely separate state. Own government and everything.

[Lankytim]

I have to confess, I never quite understood the difference between the U.K and Great Britain. Should have paid attention at school I guess.

The United Kingdom of Great britain and Northern Ireland

 

Great Britain is England, Wales, Scotland and the UK includes Northern Ireland

 

My grump - f*cking Citroens - my XM is expiring with HGF - 15 hours labour to do it!

Horse riders.

 

What is it with that smug, stoney fucking look they give you? Like they're above you in stature and social standing?

You know like when you cruise past slowly with your foot on the clutch, on tickover giving them a wide berth then they give you 'that' look?

 

Well one day I might be tempted to turn round down the road, crank Shabba Ranks up on the stereo then drive past at 80mph with my hand on the horn shouting obscenities. All being well they'll be thrown over the hedge onto their incredibly fat, manky jodphur clad arses and break a few fucking bones.

[messerschmitt owner]

I work near Gatcombe Park and have yet to hear of a horse get Life at the Horse Trials!

 

Rubbish!!!

[retrogeezer]

I must say I only know Danny Dyer from his GTA Vice City voiceover and various Bravo programs called Danny Dyers Hardest Cocks. (or something like that)

He was in a film called ' The Business' that I thought was great, mainly as it's set in the 80's I guess.

 

Oh, and I'm not sure why but I quite like Gillian Kearney, but not enough to watch a football based film.

[Station]

Trip to Lookers Vauxhall! Yeayyyy!

"Can I order two bumper mounts for my Astra please. They're left and right sided, and they mount on the crossmember. No, they're not those ones, they mount on the crossmember."

"Deeside have left and right in, you'll have to go up there!"

"OK!"

 

Off I go on a 15+ mile journey to Deeside.

 

"Hello!"

"Hello, here's the parts you ordered in these bags"

"Thanks!"

 

I get home, open the transparent bags, and on closer inspection, they're not the ones I ordered - they do not mount on the crossmember, but are in fact a repair part that needs to be welded onto the arch?! F^CK!

 

Return to Deeside, etc. They have them in Luton. Have to order them in, think I'll get the part number etc before I order.

[Cavcraft]

You didn't get served (at Deeside) by a reddish haired lad did you, he's a bit slow?

[Station]

No, got served by some bloke with horrible breath!

[trigger]

Any one notice that we are now on page 500!! You whinging bunch of gits!

What kind of look are they supposed to give you?

The whole horse riding scene might be less up itself here, but I've never met any rude or discourteous horse riders on the roads.

[Cavcraft]

A smile might be nice if I've slowed down and given them a wide berth. And smiled at them.

[Station]

A bloke I worked with used to ride horses (he was a farmer). He used to whip the tops of cars if they drove too close, with his horse whipping thing.

Is it illegal to let your horse leave a great, steaming pile of plop in the road? I'll remember that the next time I can't hold on any longer.

I once lost control on a corner skidding in this stuff.

[Pillock]

We have a lot of 'orses around here... I tend to slow down and give them a wide berth, in fairness they wave their thanks and smile back.

 

In particular, one of the roads goes past a riding school and you're pretty much guaranteed a nubile lass in tight jodphurs and a whip will be riding along, jiggling slightly. Now THAT will make me slow down to a crawl!

 

I believe it's legal for horse ploppy to be left in the road, as it doesn't contain anything other than bad whiffs and munched up hay - none of the nasties that dogpoo has in it. But yeah I hit some at 60mph (officer) on a backlane and the handling was interesting.....

Hate to break it to you, but they ARE above you in social standing.

 

Do you KNOW how much hosses cost to run??

It's a freaking fortune, man. Mintedness is obligatory, and with that usually comes a side-helping of snooty.

It's the backcombed hair that pisses me off. Also, horses - I don't really get them.

 

Neigh, neigh - how fucking negative is that? I keep mine in a lighthouse. I much prefer My Bloody Valentine - Loveless (according to my pop gimp of an ex housemate) 'sounds like two whales having it off, with some guitars wanking in the background'.

Yay - we got our caravan double cheap off some horsey people because they needed the money to run their flock.

Pah - send the horses to Coventry, I say.

[Minimad5]

I know what you mean about the Horseriding thing, as many a moon ago i used to get lessons (It was only £20 or so quid) .. and many of the posh folk there would think they owned the road.

When ever i was all hi-vis'ed up and crossing a road, i would give a little "thank you" wave and even stop to let traffic past.

 

Just depends on who the rider is.

 

I guess it is the same with classic car owners.

Some give a wave and say hi, others just ignore you and think your crazy.

[Cavcraft]

Yeah but I'm not tempted to make a 1971 Woseley 18/85 buckaroo and throw it's rider

Also a complete tat-fest, it's got one of those ancient 60s SEAT taxis and some weird old lorries. And a Renault 11 Turbo having a load of drugs confiscated from it.
