I disagree, its an upgrade from the Tupperware box I would normally use for my miniature horses. Cardboard, better for the environment you know, although horses always prefer plastic if the truth be known.

Merely find it ironic that those that go on about fake news are the same ones that flood social media and forums with fake stories and reports that's all (benign or not). Will curb the use of facts on here in the future as we can't be having randoms on the internet saying I don't have a social life can we?

Lucan, it was a joke, an observation on local government bureaucracy. But thanks for taking the time to fact check it on Snopes. I think we're all grateful for that.

I read “Gypsy Boy”. A book written by a gay gipsy bloke who basically had 7 shades kicked out of him by his family to make him straight. He dished the dirt telling of all their tricks, putting petrol in old tarmac to “thin it out”. As the article says, it would last until it rained. My elderly stupid brother answered the door to a cold caller re his roof. Blow me he needed a new one! And he fecking agreed!! I moved in to my 150 year old house 30 years ago and got a roofer in for some new slates. Apparently I needed a new roof as well! Its still water tight. I now put any stray slates in myself

Good book. If it's to be believed he came from a fighting family and wasn't a fighter.

Come on Eggs! Why if it is to be believed? I live amongst a load of travellers and see young 6 yr old kids boxing each other with gloves on with adults shouting then on in local fields regularly

The Sauds are the gift that keeps on giving, 9-11, ISIS, abuse of human rights and the systematic destabalisation of the ME.

I don't know why people keep havin a go at Saudi Arabia, for all their social backwardsness they at least have an interest in keeping the oil price stable..

 

Over the years if they wanted to they could turn off the taps and send every country in the world into economic ruin..  be grateful they have a monarchy that has kept things in check..  and helped out the West when they had to..   

 

When it comes to supporting ISIS its more a case of private citizens doin that not government institutions, lest we're talking Syria..  and thats to do with their hatred of Iranian Shia's..
