Such a beautiful cushion.

His mother should have put her notice in thirty years ago and given Charles the job, why did she hang on till she was over ninety, perhaps all the heating allowances?

Joey is right.

I’ll be thinking about my Irish great uncles from Dublin, one died in the Easter rising in Dublin in 1916 and was hailed as the Hero of the Bridge Street siege fighting for his country and his brother died in Belgium at the Mousetrap Farm, fighting alongside the British, his body was never found but both fought and died for what they thought was right.

I lived on Spotswood Close for 54 years, it ended up like living in an African village.

Certainly Alan did not like to lose ,like most winners.

I’m not sure what you mean by “playing a red closer to the pocket” .

I always associate him with Arundel Club,although he played elsewhere for Brooke Tools in the Works League.

There was a wide range of playing conditions.

Some where Snooker was the main event on the night,and others where you had to contend with the locals.

The Punch Bowl on Gleadless Common was always lively and if you called for order in the Springwood the response was predictable,

In later years the table at Pitsmoor WMC was possibly the worst.

A very well worn cloth with much damage and frayed cushions repaired with black insulation tape.

Sorry but PLAYING was a typo, it should have read “placing “ I’ve edited my post.

I knew Alan Beedham when he was 17/18 years old when he was a regular in the Snooker Hall under the Manor Picture house, he was a very good player, far superior to the rest of us BUT he always had to win, he even sunk to cheating on occasion by placing by hand  a red closer to the pocket and easier to pot, he had no reason to do that but he did.

What a load of tosh.

Theres already on street cameras so it's not needed

So if you got burgled, you wouldn’t ask the tenant if he caught the burglar on camera ?

Just why bother ? When there’s people like you who deny the truth.

You put on it that you thought it would get taken down. Why the response to it's removal?

 

I can't even remember what it was about, just that you knew it was going to get removed, which were the first words.

 

Oh, quick memory gain. It was about people of a certain colour, killing people of the same colour...with an imagined percentage rate of the actions.

Because the person reading it could work out for themselves it was a true statement but truth seems to be ignored here. Not an imagined percentage rate.

I still think back handlers drove the felling of the trees.

hi @cuttsie im desperate for more information about the water works on hurlfield road, its been my home for 15 years now. it says "hansworth water works 1887" on the front of the house, but i havent been able to get much, if any information about it! please help! x 

It has Handsworth on the plinth because that’s how far the area of Handsworth covered.

I’m always been of the mind that once you’ve retired after working 50 years, you’ve paid all the tax that’s due ,

Mr Lineker should have any of these immigrants living next door to him, not a mile away but feet away, like we did and because of their lifestyle which wasn’t left back in Africa and Europe, after 54 years living quite happily in our council maisonette, we couldn’t put up with it any longer, quality of life left us and we had to move.

I’ve enjoyed the the company of Arabs, Jamaicans, Poles and Egyptians socially and at work but the new immigrants that came here were here for the benefits and not legal work.

All small boats that are stopped in the channel by the security services should take the occupants on board, disable their boats then take them straight back to France and leave them on the beach, if the French security guards can’t  see them leaving they won’t see them coming back.

Anyone else want to make a poor joke about her not seeing it coming? Thats two now in three posts.

Its human nature, before the wokes took over.

What I find annoying is when you take a birthday card to a post office to have a stamp adhered, the post master / woman tries a slightly bigger envelope in a letter box slot, “ it’s slightly large “ so just yesterday my wife was charged £2:40 for posting two birthday cards, one small and one in a size C6 envelope, if we had bought the stamps as normal and popped the cards in a letter box they would have been delivered without any excess charge BUT I still think if the post is delivered on time and the resources used  to get post delivered nationwide, the cost of the stamp is reasonable.

The test card was more interesting, these supposedly “ Singers “ cannot sing live, most of the females seem to just want to show as much of their breast as possible and I don’t think that makes them singers!!!

Sit down & put your bag or something on the seat next to you.  That'll sort the first problem out.  Second, give yourself a bit of time & stay on the bus until the final stop.  See what he does? 

 

Travel with a friend for a few journeys. 

If he sits next to you just get up and move to another seat, if he follows you to your seat report him to the driver, he may not do anything but it may deter the weirdo sitting next to you again.

Am assuming  the road layout of Arundel Gate outside the hotel will have to be completely re-designed as the only exit from the hotel car park is left / northbound - eg getting rid of traffic islands, moving pedestrian crossing / lights just to the south of car park exit to allow a right turn.
 

How many people know which direction is N.S.E.or W, I for one have no idea, but I could probably eventually work it out knowing where the Eastend is.

reading the star,it seems  that sheffield is the place to visit,well it suprised me that we go along as theres milan ,oslo and dublin and more mentioned,so we all got it wrong we are a top place to visit after all,fancy that

It’s not because of the city, more like is it’s ease of access to the Peak District or it could be that we have a better class of beggars, alcoholics and druggies.

I’ve just been to the hospital and the technician asked me questions on a form for me to answer, one question was / were you born a man or a women, I felt insulted, second question / do you prefer being addressed as he or her, I wouldn’t answer, just plain stupid woke ideas.
