  1. And just for Padders, my final one for 2023.... Bloke, staring at his grubby T-shirt : "Just going to pop this in the wash, m'duck. What temperature do you think?" Wife :" Well...what's it say on the shirt?" Bloke : "Pink Floyd..."
  2. Dear Padders. Christmas again. Weather here. Wish you were fine. Off home again to Esbjerg on Tuesday, so won't be seeing you until sometime in 2024. Might send you a card. Then again.... Crappy Histmas to you...
  3. You must've had a different English teacher to me in that case.
  4. Presumably he wants people to read and react to his posts, as do you. What better way to generate a response by making them legible?
  5. What do I think? I tend to skate over reading your posts because they're so bloody difficult to read! Please - please! - slow down when you're typing! Every time you type a comma, leave a space after it. Also try and put a full stop in now and then! And the odd capital letter wouldn't go amiss either! I'm sure your posts are interesting! Just make 'em easier to read!
  6. Give a mate a call, and get your backside to a nearby pub. Have a few jars with good company and in nice, hopefully cosy, surroundings. Maybe not the best advice, but certainly better than dialling ...........
  7. That reminds me of a relative from many years ago, who used to claim that he was "younger than his hair but older than his teeth"
  8. Don't tell user longcol! He reckons "Shoplifting reports to the police equate to as near as damn it one event per retail outlet per year." (He'll probably just claim you're lying....)
  9. I seem to remember reading that stamps could be regarded as legal currency?
  10. Remember this one? https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/thomas-buckett-teenage-burglars-family-5515886 Didn't work out well, I'm pleased to say.
  11. Looks as if some of the recent comments about user longcol have been deleted, presumably after some kind of a complaint about the content. By his own request, mayhap. What a shame.
  12. So that's your reason for stating that you thought I was a liar?! Because you'd never read anything like it before on the forum?! That's pathetic. That is not a reason. Almost as pathetic as your "public spirited" comment - what difference would it make you knowing the branch locations? Obviously I could tell you, but why should I? You're just stalling, scrabbling to get out of the hole you've dug for yourself. And as for your "one shoplifting event per retail outfit per year"...well, that's just a joke. Tell that to the manageress of the Co-op branch who, with black humour, added that she wished the 'lifters would "at least leave the wire baskets before they scarpered...." So again, back to you. I asked you why you felt the need to state that I was lying. I'm still waiting.
  13. georgeshop.co.uk. Apparently I was "lucky" to get anythng delivered at all. From reading since, they're one of a group of 82 Chinese firms pretending to be in the UK, and are regarded as scam artists. Most of their stuff is junk anyway, according to the reviews, so yes, it cost me, but not anywhere near your amount.
  14. Virtually identical circumstances, about 18 months ago. PayPal via Nationwide debit card, object delivered unexpectedly, photo'd, nicked. As the OP states, you can't chase the courier - that's the seller's responsibility. End result? Save yourself some time, and surrender. Zilch.
  15. I notice user longcol's gone quiet too. Presumably wants to keep a low profile.
  16. Yes, we're kidding, Gormenghast. I'm as old as the hills, and I suspect hackey is .....er.....not much of a lad. (Oh, I don't know though!)
  17. I know. Me neither. Far too young.
  18. Everybody seems to remember cabbie Fred Housego winning TV's Mastermind quiz all those years ago. Apparently all the contestants were allowed a dummy run-through before recording, in order for them to get used to the lighting, cameras, etc. In early "rehearsals" the TV crew had a lot of problems with Fred, until they turned the famous black chair around 180 degrees, so he could answer the questions over his left shoulder.....
  19. And even more if involved in a cup run.... (So no problems there for a good while! )
  20. I've thought that too. And how much for the club to hire/rent the ground for each match?
  21. Decided to raise your head again, huh? OK...post #2571 "Let's get this straight. You're either telling porkies or have far more time to spend hanging round in shops than the rest of us." There was absolutely no call for you to comment, let alone your bombastic "Let's get this straight" opening. I had recently witnessed three shoplifting episodes, so why you felt the need to try and belittle me and the reports, God alone knows. Maybe you think it made you sound big, I don't know... Why you found it strange that I'd witnessed three such events in a short period of time is interesting, especially you read that there are literally hundreds - if not thousands - of shoplifting events across the country every single day. So let's google the phrase "telling porkies", shall we? "If you're telling porkies, you're telling lies. This phrase is from British rhyming slang, where the term pork pie substitutes for lie."
  22. Really looking forward to travelling to France again tomorrow. I've got tickets for the "Flicking a ruler off the side of a desk" final. It's being held in the Dordogne.
  23. See? Arrogant again. Full of his own import. I don't want attention. I want an apology from you for calling me a liar.
