I'm with you on this one!

If at 64 I don't know what is is, I don't think I really need to know what it is!

Sad to say I just Goggled it... none the wiser to be honest. Other than cockneys are apparently rather good at it! Something to do with dropping a bunch of the letter in a word (example Bo'le for bottle).

To be honest, I'm not sure if I'm getting cabin fever, but today everyone and everything is pissing me off.

I getting sick of the drama and the conflicts everywhere I turn.

In the words of Rodney King, "Can't we all get along?"

You sure you're only 64?

Lol. :lux:

I thought the example of the Yorkshire definite article was a good example, but it's when you put a pause or gap in your speech by momentarily closing then releasing your glottis. That is, a gateway in your throat which closes off the airflow in your windpipe.

If you're from London you might render "butter", "water" as "buh-er", "waw-er". (Essex: "buh-uh", "waw-uh").

Not correct

My brother lives in Northampton and his wife and kids say ‘ going shops’ or ‘going pub’

We don’t do that up here.

‘Gunna pub’ as a question, maybe. ‘Going pub’ definitely not

Northampton?


I think you are confused about what constitutes a proper Northerner.

Cobblers :D

We all know a song that might cheer him up [emoji3]

I think I’m fully aware of what constitutes ‘northern’ (unlike most southern softies who say anything north of Watford blah blah blah...)

I didn't say Northampton was northern. Quite the opposite in fact. I was making the point that the type of language that Adler was referring to wasn’t northern and more midlands/east Anglian

Very good.

A lot of Londoners would substitute a D for a T ...as in, say “bedder” instead of better. Almost slightly American, if you will.

Don’t get me started on people who pronounce “News”as ”nuuuus”, as in rhymes with blues.

Anything above the Thames, init.

Unable to contact a holiday company to sort out a booking by phone or get a reply to email or get on live chat?

It is used in North Yorkshire. That some people in Northampton might is somewhat by the bye.

Spend a lot of time in Yorkshire, and never heard it.

Think you're mistaken my dear old thing

Soon to be 65... maybe that's the problem.

You're quite correct. SARS-CoV-2 is a type of Coronavirus and this one may cause the infection known as Covid-19. So SARS-CoV-2 is not THE coronavirus, it's A coronavirus.

I live in Yorkshire and have done for 36 years and I wouldn't say this is right.

Yorkshire has I think a larger population than Scotland and so .....

To be fair he said North Yorkshire, not Wakey !

We do have cars in rhubarb land you know :) well just the one that we all share :)

It just doesn't sound right with telling 'arry to hurry up.

Why are cherries so expensive (the fruit)?

ITV’s love affair with Harry Redknapp

ITV

Free Roly Polys all round?

Oh, come on.

COME ON

People that call their colleagues "resources"

"It's a no brainer on a free transfer"

Actually that is bollocks. It aint free, you just line player and agent's pockets instead of their current club. So it's not free and it's not a no brainer, it's a potentially tough and expensive negotiation

John Salako. ****.

Just seen that on the other thread. What a twat. :jerkit:

Looks trim, looks like a tramp

Oh dear Salad. Not thinking straight posting that

C*nt.

Salako has always been a knob.

Realising it's time to cut my toenails, and towel drying after a shower. Both utterly tedious, but necessary. I very much enjoy cleaning my ears with the cotton buds though.

An Ear Nose and Throat consultant once told me that you should never put anything in your ears smaller than your elbow.

Yeah, I heard that as well. How else can you clean your ears though?

it works for me, especially if you run the bud under very hot water beforehand. Just be careful how you do it and its fine.
What do Doctors know anyway? :lux:

I've heard all the medical advice about not cleaning your ears with cotton buds but l find it one of life's simple pleasures.

So he can change 50 quid a pop to do it for you.

Would love to see the size of his earphones...

People who decide the hottest evening of the year is the time for a back garden bonfire

This thread is like Groundhog Day.

You said that yesterday.

I suspect I will say it tomorrow.

I enjoy insulting twats on facebook.

It annoys me that they can't see...

1) They are selfish twats thinking only what's good for them.

2) That just sharing memes doesn't make them a pholosopher of our times.

'Uh, well you're welcome to your opinion, but I agree with the message'

Okay, let's discuss the message. They don't even have the capacity to say what they agree with and prefer a facebook generated message to do their thinking for them.

'I just agree with it, I don't want to discuss it'

well, why fecking post it then.

I'd tell the joke about the wax treatment ,but would get banned.:eek:

Talking of Facebook, I just took a look on there and they've completely revamped their appearance.

Hate when websites do that.

You don't; they're self-cleaning. :)

Nice idea!! Gonna try that tonight in an effort to melt out the compounded wax I've pushed up against my eardrum with dry buds

Fibre. Whereas many people can’t get enough in their diets, my high wholegrain, fruit and veg eating habits often turn me into a cramped up, farting mess.

Today’s been awful, think I might have the halve my morning porridge portion.

Got my 6 monthly blood work results back yesterday, and my glucose and triglyceride numbers are through the roof high... I suspect drinking too much wine during this lock-down is to blame.

If you Google things to reduce the numbers I'm already doing all of them including too much fibre like CP-RJW above, bar the cutting out alcohol.

God's got a sick sense of humour...

Those phone back to halt your parking payments in wandsworth. I keep forgetting because I'm sorting out my ppe, or route to the next job. I then get a text a few hours later saying your parking session is over it cost £12. I cant be the only person who does this, they must make a fortune.

Huge hornet in the kitchen. One thing I don’t like about the summer.

Ah, you’ve got the newer models then.

Kill it, you student wuss.

That’s the plan. Closed all the doors and windows first so he doesn’t invite any buddies with his pheromones.

Used to love the Hornet. Victor, Valiant, Hotspur, etc etc, :)

Fvcker is dead. Didn’t get a ruler out or anything before I flushed her corpse down the sink, but easily the biggest hornet I’ve ever seen.

Silly youngsters and their wheelies on their bikes. Only ever pulled when someone’s looking. Now the pressure’s slightly off the NHS, would mind seeing a bit of teenage skull on tarmac soon. Good life lesson for them.

F##king hell fire, you really don't like youngsters. I used to do all sorts of crazy shit on my battered old peice of shit bmx.

The f*cking clappers.

Peppa Pig - nightmare.

Obnoxious, badly drawn, neon pink characters out together for tuppence at the most and it's more popular than chocolate with youngsters. Kids are being scarred for life by this stuff. :)

Aren't they all?

Redex works well. :hi:

For a lot of the kids growing up in inner cities, the whole bike life scene (the wheelie and tricks etc) is an incredibly positive part of their life. It provides a way of gaining respect from their peers without hurting anyone or causing harm. A lot of these kids are also learning engineering and mechanical skills they otherwise wouldn't get. If you google the likes of Jake 100 and Mac Ferarri you'll see that they are role models to literally thousands of kids, keeping them out of gangs and out of trouble.

Ps - that's a ******* ***** thing to wish on anyone.

Try driving along a freeway out here at about 60mph, and have a guy overtake you on a motorbike doing a wheelie.

Or more interesting still, a guy standing on the saddle arms out like Jesus... who I'm sure he will be meeting in person sooner than later.

You're obviously too young to remember Ross Jenkins

Fk me, it's a Bernard Righton road to Damascus moment for Nigel there, surely?

Bigger than Harry?

You didnt measure it, but you still managed to ascertain it's gender.

Maybe it was a whorenet.

No idea what this means at all.

My son is into the wheelies etc, and I would rather some weird bloke on the internet didn't wish him or his friends to smash their skulls into the concrete for doing something which is effectively their hobby.

You couldn't do it could you,you couldn't get it up and keep it up:D

Not that I’d quite wish that on them but a packed pavement wheelie on a massive mountain bike does seem to be irresistible to white teenage boys with shit haircuts.

They quite often have a little handbag pouch on while they do it.

We've all been there

She had a nice pair of twins.

Do they wake you up from your post-lunch snooze ?

And I am surprised at you railing against them - I would have thought they are a socialist's dream ?

Sat since 8 this morning waiting for a lowloader to pick this machine up.Waste of a lovely day as it won't be here till 3.30 at the earliest :wallbash:

:)

Companies not answering emails, and unable to contact them by phone? I will not name them but they are a holiday cottage firm.

Last week I used UPS to send a £5500 cartridge to France, they did not acknowledge that it had been delivered until 48 hours later ( it should be immediately) this followed a collection where the driver tried to take the parcel by hand with out any concern for distancing.

They then asked me to forgive and use them again!

That does not read correctly, the cartridge was damaged and sent away for repair, a brand new one would cost big money if not repaired.

I hope the bloke who presents Football Focus hasn't got his blasted dawg on his lap again

It is and he's giving it a good hard stroke

BOLLOW!! :D

The way media is banging on endlessly about premier League restart, but no word at all about whether or not FA Cup will continue. Does no-one care at all?

Nope

I stopped caring about the FA Cup the moment the ref whisperer got Milivojevic sent off.

Two finals, no cup. Bollocks to the whole thing.

I assume you mean this season.

Personally I stopped caring about the FA Cup the moment Manchester United withdrew from it to play in the World Club Final about 25 years ago. (I think that's what it was)

That was a bell that can never be unrung and was the day the FA Cup started its death march, followed by 5:30 kick-offs for the Final, Semi-Finals at Wembley and Friday and Sunday games.

(Although I did go to the 2016 final... Well I had to)

That’s a hell of a printer you have !

When you only want one nut and bolt and the smallest size they do is packs of 100!

Go to a car factor or plumbers merchants. They usually have boxes of mixed nuts, bolts, washers etc.

I have always felt that it is ruddy galling and indeed dis-respectful, dis-courteous and sheer bad manners when people do not have the decency to utter 'Please' and 'Thank You' when it is appropriate to do so.

Has boiled my 'Red corpuscles' and on several occasions I have admonished those who have fallen below these standards.

:grrr:

I used USP only the once and that was poor.

I complained over the phone and knew the USP person was deparate for me to swear at him down the phone (as was I), so he could end the call; but I didn't. I kept on saying what they had done wasn't good enough and referring to them as 'Utterly Pathetic Service' and how all their competitors were much better.

I felt much better after that. :afro:

Very difficult to know who to use, it seem that as soon as you find a good company they get swallowed by the big boys and return to go!:D

Robert Peston

200% agree, but thought the look of disgust on his face when Boris cut him off today was priceless.
