  1. You really aught to read the things I say... I used the example of Gypsies because I know full well what most people think. Including all those tolerant types. They'll call people racist at the drop of a hat, and blow up with fury at the mention of a gypsy site being newly located nearby.. Basically most of em are self righteous hypocrites.. I should know about it myself, as my dad sold a field to a family of gypsies twenty years back.. You wouldn't believe the crap spouted about it at a village meeting, even our MP took the trouble to describe them as an infestation of rats.. an most people cheered.. Me, I got to like em, and am still friends with some of them.. Though eventually they lost their case to live there some years back..
  2. I notice Felix run away when I asked him about that farmer selling land to a family of gypsies.. I'd like to know how you feel about someone selling land for a gypsy settlement. I mean its easy to accuse people of racism ain't it.. but not so easy to confront your own...
  3. Jeremy Corbin by a country mile.. Though I doubt either will ever lead their country. I was just warming to the idea of Trump leading America as well, he just had to open his mouth once to often though didn't he!!..
  4. I suppose the locals were outraged when this farmer threatened to sell his land to those gypsies.. How did you feel about it Felix, did you mind or were you not bothered?..
  5. Afraid not Felix Does Socrates ring any bells?... Now, were is that brick?..
  6. Do I need to try harder?.. I'll make it easier for you.. you have one hundred thousand pounds to buy an house on one of those streets.. Pick one....
  7. Course he is, an I dare say you are too.. If you had two choices of two streets to live in, one full of Jews and one full black people were would you live?... I'm guessing your gonna say the Jewish street.. now, can you tell me why you chose to live there?.. Now don't get me wrong, I've nothin against black people, I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of your argument..
  8. Yea, it was a good read from what I remember. Shaws book was good as well. Different generations though.. I was talking to a fella from a pub near were I live and this fella told me he used to work in Blackpool fighting all comers in the sixties an early seventies. Could of stayed there all night listening to his anecdotes. He went up to fight a gypsy in appleby, beat the fella and got a crow bar over the head for his troubles.. said he beat Jack London as well.. I think it was shorty after Ali beat him.. I told him he should write a book about it, he said no one would be interested. I told him, it depends how good a writer you are, but people do love stories about fighters.. I would of read it anyway.. I certainly enjoyed listening to him talking about his days fighting every tom dick an harry for a fiver a fight..
  9. statistics don't lie and come in handy in an argument..
  10. I'll bet you it was Tyson Fury..
  11. Yea I get that.. But millions of guns are out there in America, some get used in gun crime.. there are millions of Muslims in Europe, some of em murder Europeans in terrorists atrocities.. You understand that less guns equal less gun crime, yet you can't seem to see that less Muslims,(using your logic) equals less terrorists.. Does your logic work on guns but nothing else?.. or don't you like statistics when they don't suit your argument..
  12. which would be odd as his daughter is Jewish..
  13. Are you mad, you said earlier that there is a correlation between having less guns and less death by guns.. Its true as well, theres a statistical correlation between gun ownership and gun crime.. If I apply the same logic to Muslim terrorists you balk at the comparison.. Do you think guns in general shoot people now?..
  14. Sort of like less Muslims and less people being blown up.. Its a winning argument for sure..
  15. Good story.. Lennie came across as a lovable rogue in the book, though I doubt he was anything but in his prime.. that fella looked mean.. but I liked him..
  16. No idea, I just remembered her bleating about how good he was.. I didn't even know the fella was anywhere near fighting for a title at the time.. So didn't give her story any thought... stubby Lennie McClean Read his book watched a few vids same with Roy Shaw... I remember one story McLean regaled in his book about a fight down on a gypsy site.. He turns up and the fella he's fighting is waiting with some mates and they decide its a good idea to gee themselves up by baiting lennie on the way to the fighting area.. After taking one to many inflammatory insults Lenny decides they need teaching a lesson. So he tells em what he's gonna do, and proceeds to beat em all unconscious. Bodies lying everywhere.. Afterwards Lenny asks for his winnings.. "We wasn't ready", the fella said.. Look, give me ma money or next time I won't ffin stop I kill yer...or words to that effect.. They paid up, Lenny left..
  17. The thing is to ratchet the things in once positioned. I learned my lesson a few years back when a crappy little branch knocked my ladder from under me.. If I do hedge work I use those expensive tripod ladders, worth every penny if not for the stability then the peace of mind why on top of em.. I ruined a customers step ladders once, couldn't be bothered climbing back down and took a chance they would be OK, cut a heavy branch, fell down and crushed his step ladders. Put em back in his shed before he noticed hahaha... I still feel terrible for that one..
  18. OK done a bit of research on the fella. Forgot the fella was from these parts, I have a vague recollection of someone sayin they knew him personally, a girl friendly with the gypsy community.. Told me this Tyson Fury was gonna be a world champion... seems she was right.. I'll say this though, being a world champion he could of made some good money advertising stuff, thats all gone out the window now. He needs to keep his mouth shut on occasion, otherwise the media are gonna make a monkey out of him.. Not that he isn't doing that all by himself..
  19. I'd like to think Donald trump could hold his nerve and ride this storm out... I just want someone, just one person to stick it to "Political Correct" movement thats gone to far.. I'd like to see Trump elected and Merkel booted.... if Alla will's, even I might be tempted to cry out Alla Akbar,,,,
  20. And your point is?... From what I gather he wants an embargo on Muslims immigrating to the US. he didn't mention an embargo on business... And why we're about it, take a look at Saudi Arabia, the country spreading the poison and even they don't want any immigrants from Syria.. Now even I wouldn't suggest a total embargo on Muslims, but I'd make it so they always remained an insignificant minority.. one way or the other.. They have proved themselves beyond the pale, they need watching..
  21. hahah,, no, Trumps just sounding off, venting if you like.. Thats not to say he hasn't got a good point.. People don't want to have their voices heard, if they don't want to have Muslims pour into the Sates, someone should be listening.
  22. Thank god for that election result, I just hope the bureaucrats in Brussels take note.... Though I suspect they'll just bury their collective heads in the sand..
  23. About a week an half ago I came across a utube vid about Donald trump on the campaign trail. Since then I've watched a number of vids on the subject to get an idea of what Trump is and what he's about.. I found the fella a breath of fresh air when it comes to politics... His style, his manner and his couldn't care less attitude.. I like the fella.. And he's right about why people like him, people are sick and tired of stage managed politics... about his Muslim rant, about time some of our leaders dumped their PC attitudes and told it like it is...
  24. someone needs charging with somethin for this. How anyone can leave a kid unsupervised next to a machine that can kill people is beyond belief..
  25. I suggest you don't let it boil dry whatever you get.. brews taste like **** for a week after if you do that..
