FLY2 10,108 Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Probably due to some obscure EU directive that removed the ingredient that cleared our heads . They don't like us having a clear mind and thinking for ourselves. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MargieH 7,600 Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 We used to call it 'sevens' cos you threw I them 7 times against the wall, then you did dropsies 6 times, then threw up in the air 5 times, then underhand/overhand 4 times, then up in the air/against the wall 3 times, then bounced them onto the floor on the way to the wall twice, then twizzled round after you threw the ball at the wall and caught it again After that it was repeated but with claps between each throw (clapsies) Phew! I feel quite worn out just thinking about it! 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 I asked for whisky and dry ginger in a bar (one little bottle of dry ginger is enough for at least 2 whiskies) and I was told that they no longer stock it! No demand! I had a glass of water instead, added a tiny amount to the whisky and had a great drink. Less expensive and actually much better without the ginger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Whilst cycling in the Gambia recently, I noticed three boys carrying Machetes; they waved to me with the knives and big smiles shouting (in broken English) "Hello mista, how are yoooo?". It brought to mind all the things we did with knives as young boys. We were never without at least a pocket knife and if a Scout, a sheath knife. These days people would rear up in horror at the sight f a child with even a pen-knife. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 ^^^^^^^^^^Back in 1962 I joined EMGAS rifle club, we shot underground in Basford gas works. Twice a week I would sling my rifle over my shoulder, bob a box of ammo into my pocket and walk there from Rosetta Rd, I couldn't afford a rifle bag when I first started but nobody batted an eyelid.
