You can only use the word "Golly" these days flecc, you have to leave the last bit off. I think ebay has that rule too :rolleyes: Why is there not a black smiley ?

The film "Gone With The Wind" has now been removed from HBO's line up. HBO Max said the 1939 film was "a product of its time" and depicted "ethnic and racial prejudices" that "were wrong then and are wrong today". I'm loving this TBH because what will happen soon is there will be a backlash as...

Just to add to my previous post: The probable figure of lives lost during the building of the Channel Tunnel was as many as 24 with around 500 accidents.

It would have been great, no .... a miracle more like if the figures were that low. I'd put the numbers at probably many hundreds (yes really) more than a hundred lost their lives during the construction of box hill. Brunel himself almost got killed three times messing around near construction...

It's all in the mind Aggers.

Let's remember also Woosh some of those seniors cleared from Hospitals were placed in care homes where the authorities running them were told to take people in or whistle bye bye to your grant. Look what happened as a result.

I bet you were a right sod when you were a kid Barry, I bet you pulled the legs off of spiders and cut worms in half so they wouldn't be lonely.

All three as I recall og.

My dad was a builder, worked for all of them as did I for a short while when I was desperate.

Wimpy, Mcalpine, Bison great builders.

Well Err...no !

Found out where Boris is...making his way over to the IOW to check out that great, very successful world beating app. Private ferry for a VIP of course.. https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/people/650-million-super-yacht-spotted-coast-portsmouth-2878063

My pet rant again...face masks. I have evidence that masks supplied to large stores for use by employees should they wish are in fact taken home by staff members for their own use. The reasons given are they're to be used on buses on the way home from work, maybe but that would go some way to...
