I found the idea of an oath to the King rather too 16th century for my taste, at heart i am not a monarchist though i have to admit this country does the pomp & ceremonial rather well. I did see a figure of it all costing £250 million quid. Maybe that is so, The sad thing is all those waving...

This guy is one of the best blues rockers out there, this song has one of the best guitar solos of all time, in fact its one long solo interspersed by singing!

A guy i know was in the marine police for many years & fished his fair share of bodies out of the water. When people drown they sink, get rolled along the bottom & get caught on things, tree roots, rubbish, reeds anything, river beds often have deep holes on bends or scour holes near...

We fitted a woodburner about 8 years ago, It isnt used all the time, more as a backup to gas central heating. We tend to light it in the evenings in winter only. Wood i get from all over in fact have never had the need to buy any. I have a good log store & fill it with cut & split logs one end...

Though i tend to agree with you, he is an extremely good self publicist & is often on GB news & LBC radio. (I dont choose to watch or listen to either) But due to his persistence on the migrant issue which lets face it the government has royally cocked up he has a lot of traction. He says what a...

I consider myself British & think that the Brexit vote was a huge mistake though it was probably inevitable given our political system. I think it likely that the UK will want to rejoin before too long, as to if they would let us i doubt i will see it in my lifetime. I cannot for the life of me...

My mother in law is named Patricia, but has always since childhood been known as Paddy, It would be a brave man who tried to throw her!

^^^ Absolutely correct, It is exactly the same with pyrotechnics such as flares, A use by date after which they may work or they may not work well or not at all, As they get older propellant charges may degrade & other components become more more less sensitive. They cost a fortune to dispose...

A neighbour of mine was railing about the cost of the anti tank missiles etc being sent to Ukraine. When i pointed out that all that ordnance has a use by date after which it has to be destroyed anyway, Ukraine is saving us the cost of normal disposal. Some poor buggers on the recieving end of...

Anyone with half a brain will know that we have been in a recession for several years, what we are seeing now is a full on slump. If Truss gets the job we are proper fubared, The only consolation is that she will do for the tories what corbyn did for labour, ie make the tories unelectable.

Walk the dog early at 6:30am, Do what i have to do in the workshop until lunchtime then have a long siesta! I have a 5" computer fan in a square duct, can be placed near where you are working, quiet & provides a cooling draft. Nice cool drink of sherbert, juice of a couple of lemons, a lime &...

I worked in a college & then a secondary school for 16 years, The security at both places was pretty good. I wonder how secure schools on America are? I also grew up with guns, roughshooting & wildfowling. I was sec of our local wildfowlers club for 13 years, I cannot fathom the mindset of the...

Surstroming stout would be pretty rank.

Blimey, 2 1/2 years ago i was clearing my late mums house in lancashire, came home from the tip to see a tanker outside the house. (I hadnt realised she was on an automatic top up deal) So they filled up once it dropped below a certain level. 600 ltrs at 60pence a ltr so £364 A month later we...

Our local garage's record morons were someone who queued for three quarters of an hour then squeezed £1.50 worth of petrol in, He beat the previous one who put £1.79 in. People like this get to vote and breed.

There is a splendid Micropub in Queenborough Kent, its called the Admirals Arm, fabulous beer & excellent pizza .

My wife & i have just been sailing for a week over the river Medway, we had a couple of barbeques ashore with friends, nothing left behind. Actually we always take a few black sacks with us, this resulted in five sacks of rubbish from just a hundred yards of old sea wall, so much plastic, it is...
