Re: Seen in the News

Chickens coming home to roost as the saying goes. Trump started it without any exit strategy to fall back on, no wriggle room so he will have to suck it up! This is what happens when you have a bloke who thinks he is always right and throws his weight about willy nilly. He might have had a slightly ...

Re: TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER

Exactly the same as our Kev although the last time I checked just after lunch it showed a slight rise when I gave it a tap. Tomorrow is supposed to be as lightly better day. "Always look on the bright side of life" :extrawink:

Re: POLITICS CORNER

Having watched the footage from the body cameras I have a view about this. The situation presented itself to the police with one person immobile on the ground and saying he had been stabbed and had difficulty breathing. The other person was standing and complaining of racial abuse. Surely the priori...

15 or 20 years before that it was the Army and Navy Stores, all sorts of stuff including Varlson purple and black striped jeans which were in fashion at the time. :smile:

Re: MEDICAL MATTERS

My back has improved a bit after a nights sleep. "Slowly, slowly catchy monkey " comes to mind. Moving is easier today but its still there. Glad I cancelled my gym this morning, I think I would have been about as much good as a chocolate teapot! On the Imperial Leather issue, I wonder if i...

Re: WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?

I still think the push to send all kids to university for a degree and a big debt is one of the big bogeys in the room. Bring back proper 5 year college courses for training into skilled trades, and proper apprenticeships, we still need thousands of folk in them. They are actually the cohort of work...

Re: MEDICAL MATTERS

Pulled my back at the gym this morning. Was perfectly OK until the last exercise which was a hip thrust with about 40K on my lap. Done that OK without a problem before! Anyway, painful mobility at the moment, sitting and standing back up particularly challenging. Doubt if I could get in the car to d...

Re: BE Bosom Friends Information and Fund Raising Events

Yes indeed, I need to cancel the broadband contract for the centre. I organised that so my responsibly. We will take a hit on that as it is not a simple address move, our new property is not that far along yet. There is still a good few months on the contract so we cant avoid that. Swings and rounda...

Re: BE Bosom Friends Information and Fund Raising Events

Well, today is an ending for one of the chapters for Bosom Friends. The solicitors have finally had enough from each party and the sale back to the club has finalised today. I handed all our keys back to the club today. The venue is basically empty other than a few effects that we have for the new s...

Re: Returning to the pastime

Was on the cut bank at the plantation by 9.30 this morning. Towpath was in shade which was a bonus and quite pleasant. Had a few bites but nothing taking proper. Tried all the variations and the only one that they fancied was worm.. Once the sun got overhead it was a bit more testing, quite a few bo...

Re: Returning to the pastime

The last batch of stuff I ordered was delivered this morning, my net bag and various artificial baits, the maggots are bloodworm red. I will try various combinations of these and see if I have any luck. Planning a first trip out tomorrow, I think I will go down to the plantation off Marton Road just...

Returning to the pastime

As reported elsewhere when replacing my shed. I rediscovered my fishing tackle and have been refurbishing and replacing some of the bits. Realised we didn't have a forum for fishing subjects so I have added a new one. I said I might give my tackle another airing so to that end I have re-licensed mys...

Although enlightening, your bread video leaves out a fundamental, none of it will sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. If you drop it, it will bounce.

To my gym session. Could only put in about 75% effort in this morning, but i did manage all the class. I think I have some kind of viral thing going on, started yesterday, losing my voice and I have a very dry cough. I don't feel particularly ill, no temperature but definitely not 100% on the energy...

There is a notice on the app that says the courier already has my parcel. That was there when I first checked this morning so it makes even less sense.

Re: WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?

In my view rubbish TV like this is just asking for trouble. What is wrong with courting a girl, you get to know one another and make a proper decision as to whether you are compatible enough for marriage. I know there have always been whirlwind courtships, some of which last, but many don't. I think...
