i see the Porcine One has issued a statement saying "he's been stabbed in the back". Good grief what a truly pathetic soul, as soon as anyone dare question his practices, motives or principles it is 'dummy out of the pram time'. i picture him now, holed up with his sycophantic hangers on...

Happy New Year all you TOTTERS . Here's hoping 2018 brings you all health and happiness. Birdy :14:

Been with Virgin for years (tele', broadband & landline). Decided just have a provider for broadband (poss' Virgin) but not tele' or l'line. Does anyone know owt about Amazon Firesticks or NowTV thingys? Just to try & increase our TV choice. Any info' gratefully received but PLEASE bear in mind...

Moved our daughter to Manchester Uni last Saturday, quite an emotional day but you'll be pleased to know I 'manned up' . Son (17.5yrs) passed his driving test yesterday, at the first attempt (I'm the only one in the house that didn't pass first time :2: (2nd)). Cost a sodding fortune in...

For the life of me I cannot understand why that French newspaper has put (another) cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed on their front page. I don't hold with the 'we forgive you' caption, if they wanted to get a message of forgiveness across why use an inflammatory cartoon?? Before anyone starts...

Bit chilly down here in the East Midlands. Nice morning to take the dog a walk though. Very clear sky, not a cloud in sight. You all ok?

Just curious but I wondered what, if anything, any of you lot would do if you could have your time again?? Thought about this quite a bit lately and earlier today was asked by a young un what I'd do if I had my time again. Fecker (good sort) is early twenties and at 54yo I must look like I've...

Our factory Manager has approached me about doing a charity bike ride next year. We did one about 11 or 12 years ago which was 90ish miles he has suggested the same route for next year. This plonker is now (just) 54 and needs to lose a couple of stone before next June and get in a bit of shape...

The Ched Evans thread gave me further cause for thought about modern society. Reckon most of us on here are sensible enough to know 'right from wrong' but it's clear that we have varying views on acceptable conduct. This week there was a case were a woman was jailed, along with her brother, for...

Taff, Steeks, RexN, Plats, Sorry if I've missed anyone but we're 'missing' some cracking posters. LMM, if you're lurking I ain't forgot you. :)

As I understand it many of the UK's leading Muslims have condemned the actions of IS/ISIS. Been too long coming (IMO) but welcome nonetheless ( for me ). What will be the effects of the current situation regarding IS in the UK? I reckon there may be a right wing back-lash from the (easy lead)...

Get a phone call at 03.30 saying "can i have a lift home please?" (from Nottingham, about 15 miles away). Id bad a fair bit to drink 'last night' so Mrs B drove and i went with her in the van. Got to pick up 'now' and our beloved daughter says "can my Pal have a lift home too please?". Opposite...

Reg Bailey has raised some interesting points, i think, regarding the amount of time we spend chatting to our kids. We are, allegedly, the most likely in Europe to neglect our kids with regard to discussion. Whilst i have little experience of other European Countries i do think that the families...

Heard he had a La-La with Toony. Think we all pictured him camo'd up planting Claymores around Toonys house but I hope that squabble isn't what is keeping him off. If you are lurking BBoB get your sorry ass back sharpish. Toony, word of advice, if I may. Under no circumstances let him take you...

Trust you are all fit and well. Sunny but cool in the East Mids, just going to take the dog for a walk to blow the cobwebs away.

Our daughter (17yo) is learning to drive and 'we ' have said it's possibly time for her to have a small car. I was thinking along the lines of Polo, Lupo, Micra etc etc. Saw a nice 1.2 Corsa advertised today and rang the Co-0p who 'specialise' in younger drivers and their quote was £2854.00...

I reckon I have just had one of the best weekends I've had for a long time & we've done nowt special & ain't spent a fortune. Long country walk Friday evening ( mrs b, myself our 2 kids and in laws) kids initially VERY reluctant but 'bullied' into it. Finished at local, sat outside, had a few...
