  1. Loppylugs....Funnily enough he was 5 on Sunday. 3 more years of working him and then i'll give him an easy life. I've got no intention of getting rid of him but i will get another dog who will learn from him while he's still working. Now that will make the better half happy.

  2. I went beating as a favour for a friend on monday. All day and all they got were 9 pheasants and 1 woodpigeon. i was supposed to be picking up for the guns but a lack of beaters and shortage of dogs put paid to that. I don't know who was happier to be back home, me or my black lab' i've never seen him look so shattered and he's a big dog not your normal skinny ones but a Drakes head lab'. Needless to say i have been asked if i'll go on the next shoot with them and like the pillock that i am i've said yes.

  3. My 15 year old son works at the local post office/mini market for 2 and 1/2 hours a day 5 days a week, for this he gets £40 pound a week. Not a bad amount for someone his age, all his mates are jealous to death of him. On top of that the owners who are Sikh's think the world of him and treat him like a son and are taking him to America with them and their son next year..all expenses paid bless em. For xmas they brought him a pair of trainers for £85 as well as giving him a cash bonus. Tonight he walked in the door with 9 packets of bacon that had today's sell by date on, bet you can't guess what we are all having for our breakfast in the morning?

    P.S. I can't wait for him to hand his notice in so i can take his place.

  4. While we are on the subject of fast food in the last 2 weeks i've had at least 11 diff' fast food menue's pushed through the letterbox. I don't use them either for 2 main reasons...... (1) i don't rate the hygiene standards....(2) Most of them are run by Muslims and i don't agree with the Halal method of killing animals and refuse to eat the meat.

  5. After reading Poohbear's and Denshaw's last posts i am sure that i was right and it is where the old school is at the back of the Ice Stadium, hence the name....Plumtree Place.

    Incidentally is'nt there a plot of land at the front of the school thats a mass graveyard for victims of the Great Plague/Cholera?

  6. You've jogged my memory on this Firbeck. I've never seen a bus use the one in Leeds, infact it looks like a 2 mile long train undercarriage inspection pit. The last time i was in Cambridge they had progressed to just past the new buildings on the Uni'/college site. I'm of the same mind as you on this, a complete and utter waste of time, effort and above all else money. I can remember thinking at the time when i saw it " Surely thats not the same thing as they've built in Leeds " don't these people ever learn?

  7. So then Poohbear, if you won all that money wouldn't you be in the same position as Royalty and Maggie Thatcher ? Maybe people would start calling you and damaging your property out of nothing more than jealousy.

  8. Just bring up the menu screen on your VCR via the remote contol. Follow the instructions on screen till you get to the record programs part. There should be an option on there to zero it. Be careful though because some VCR's have a button that increases the time in 15 min' increments so you will end up back at square one. The other option which might be easier is to just put a tape in, press record and let the timer count itself down. Best to do this last thing at night before you go to bed.
