  1. The wife spotted this face on an old stump while having a tidy up in the garden this week. One of the best 'faces in tree's' I've ever seen. Can anyone beat that?
  2. My nan used to say that if you eat all the crust on your sandwich you'll have loads of lovely curly hair. Sitting on cold wet surfaces gives you piles. What about the touch wood thing, anyone know how or why that came about?
  3. Saturday morning pictures was a tanner......The Lone Ranger
  4. That's ten bob and a tanner. Then there was thrupenny bits and half penny's. Farthings weren't about in my time. School dinners..... Getting the cane for forging your mums signature on a sick note then caned again for skiving.......
  5. That's what I thought. Pugh, Pugh, Barney, McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grub.
  6. Half a crown pocket money. That's twelve and a half new pence and when they swapped over to decimal you got ripped off by one black jack or fruit salad.
  7. I bet they can't chop tree's down all week and then go training as well. I'd swap jobs though, even a first year continental pro earns upwards of 50k.
  8. Well done Kittel. Fantastic crowds.... Fan or not get out there and support if you can fella's. This is our national tour.
  9. Place your bets cycling fans. My money is on Sir Brad...... Nice to hear him say that this is Sky's most important race of the year.
  10. Mum forgets to do yer pe kit so you're forced to wear school stuff and look like that kid from Kes.
  11. During the war butchers had to sell rabbits with their skins on to prove they weren't cats.
  12. Now you mention it yeah I do, also remember drinking light n lager so you always got that little bit more than a pint for your money. What I saved I spent on peanuts lol
  13. I don't think Valerie was ever a milf, Felicity Kendal was though. Talking of tv, Bill and Ben the flowerpot men or what about The Pipkins, pig was my favourite.
  14. Hand me downs off your older brother. Second dip in the tin bath as well.
  15. Bit of a disaster on the tomatoe front. The plants started going mouldy so I cropped what was left. What d'ya reckon Tone, let em ripen off (heard putting a banana amongst em helps) or make a green tom chutney?
  16. It's probably so they don't have to print the instructions in fifteen different languages.
  17. One day you'll all have to provide these and do a course on how to use them.
  18. I feel so sorry for youngsters these days, they have to get to work on time and then work for their money. You employers should be ashamed of yourselves.
  19. That's an old wives tale Mark. I don't like cats in my garden cos they kill my frogs and fish, got a big fat goldfish with claw marks on it as well so yeah they really p me off at times but they're someone's pet so I'd never dream of hurting them. I put a sprinkler where they sit under a conny next to the pond and you should see how high they jump when I turn it on.......
  20. I'd text back I'm going to work, what are you doing.
  21. First noticed my eye sight getting worse when I had to write a cheque, they started watering.
  22. Consider yourself lucky! My labourer didn't turn up one day, no text or call just a message posted at ten thirty on facebook. Needless to say he got the bullet.
  23. That's brilliant that log splitter. I can see that putting you firewood boys out of business.
