All that expensive cake you buy at Craven Cottage.

Oh yeah, I was trying to work out how a British engineer ends up loaded. To be fair to you, for a boat and a rolex I'd listen to him moan about the state of the country all night long.

He's clearly well travelled, he's travelled to the opposite side of the world to the country he's talking about. If he's a qualified engineer, he'll know that one of the responsibilities of an Engineer under the ICE code of Conduct is to not talk shit about stuff you're not competent to...

I wouldn't worry yourself by putting much store by a drunk, 80 year-old Monkey Hanger in Australia's opinion on the state of Britain.

How far down that line do you go though? Would you reopen the mines on the off chance that at some point we can't import raw material from overseas? Incidentally, a few months ago in a pub I got talking to the bloke who was Parker Pen's project manager when they moved production from Newhaven...

We did nationalise Forgemasters a few years ago go to provide parts for the MoD. You may remember them as the lads who made a supergun for Saddam Hussein, which was impounded at UK customs after somebody questioned its labelling as an oil pipe. :lolol: I should emphasise that the directors at...

My idea of somebody from Accrington: :lolol: I am (in all seriousness) sure she's lovely. I've never met somebody from that part of Lancashire I didn't like. :thumbsup:

The weird thing is, I've read that locals pronounce it Darren, but none of the people I've met from there actually do. This annoys me far more than it should do. :lolol:

I gather (from an American woman taking her dog across on the midnight crossing before the Marseille game) that the Newhaven-Dieppe ferry is the only crossing that you're allowed to go across without either a car or a cabin booked. Thus presumably it's the easiest to go on with a bike (hence me...

To be fair, as any conversation grows longer, the probability of any comparison Nazi related or not approaches 1. Godwin was clearly a FRAUD with no understanding of statistics or probability.

I've met a weirdly large number of people from Darwen. All lovely people. https://darwen-council.co.uk/community-awards/

I've been paying good money for this, and now you're telling me there are people on here who'll do it for free? FFS.
