I won the lottery of life, I am English.

[Mindful]

On the other hand I prefer soccer and especially Liverpool the best team who always come back to beat the opponent, I remember this one of the best of Liverpool

Again great music

YNWA!

Is that all?

Nothing more is needed

Ha.

 

[Mindful]

I'd better not say. It might ruin you for life.

Greg knows.

Thank you. For I’m been a very worldly protected Brit all my life... I don’t even know how to swear properly.

So you haven't played Rugger?

Greg

I’m English, of course I’ve played rugby, it was beaten into me to learn the rules. In fact I played no7 wing 3/4 for school and under 21 local club.

I'm not so much a rubgy fan but I swear I've never heard anything as captivating as the Flower of Scotland...Listen Up!

Oh God what terrible lyrics


O Flower of Scotland,
When will we see
Your like again,
That fought and died for,
Your wee bit Hill and Glen,
And stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
To think again.
The Hills are bare now,
And Autumn leaves
lie thick and still,
O'er land that is lost now,
Which those so dearly held,
That stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
To think again.
Those days are past now,
And in the past
they must remain,
But we can still rise now,
And be the nation again,
That stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
To think again.
The Hills is bare nou,
An Autumn leafs,
Lies thick an still,
Ower land that is tint nou,
That thae sae darlie held,
That stuid agin him,
Prood Edward's Airmie,
An sent him hamewart,
Tae think again.
O Flower of Scotland,
When will we see
your like again,
That fought and died for,
Your wee bit Hill and Glen,
And stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
To think again.

Roy: have you thought any more about joining us in the Badlands?

Do you follow motorsports? The British riders dominate World Superbike Racing. Scott Redding, will be on the Ducati WSBK team along side another Brit, Chaz Davies.

No I’m afraid not, although, in my younger days I’d have given my left testical for a Kawasaki KH 125

No it was the Kawasaki KH 125 trail bike
it cost a fortune £400 if memory serves me correctly, the insurance would have been at least £20. Mind blowing ehh?

 

[Picaro]

Should never have given that car crash of an interview.

Beatrice was involved in setting it up.

By the way, the proper spelling is Neighbour, not how the Americans spell it.
(It gives you away darling)

Dalia is French, not American.

I was just highlighting she was using the incorrect American spelling of the word Picaro. of course she is French.

I remember when the Kawasaki Z900 came out, I was lodging away in Cardiff, I was 17, my hotel was 5 minutes away from the Kawasaki dealership, every night I’d walk round to the fish n chip shop after work and eat my meal drooling over the Z900. It had the Rickman full cowling on in Kawasaki green. The price was over £1,000 i can remember thinking “who the fuck can afford that!”

Well, if you would have bought one and kept it? They fetch big dough these days.

Let me tell you this;
In 1975 I earned 26p an hour
In 1976 I earned 37p an hour
In 1977 I earned 43p an hour
In 1978 I earned 54p an hour
In 1979 I earned 94p an hour
In 1980 I earned over a £pound an hour

So! I put it to you, in 1980 I was earning just over a £ an hour, a working week was usually 45hours after tax and NI I probably was taking home around £35 a week.
How long do you think it would have taken to buy a Kawasaki z900?
Remember my 1 bedroomed flat cost £10 per week, gas and leccy was probably £4 a week
Food shopping for the family.... £10
You have no idea we were poor as buggery back then, everyone was.
I forgot, the wife got £2.40 family allowance each week for my first child.

 

[skye]

Won the lottery hardy....with all respect

England is not the the England we knew anymore


Londonistan and all the rest over there....so sad...

no lottery at all I'm sorry to say...no lucky at all

Much of it is still "Fortress England". I don't think a lot of furriners have got to Scotland, Wales or Nth Ireland. But London? I found the Pakis there to be quite OK though I met few Indians. The Portuguese were a scream.

Greg

The UK is fucked....with respect

some parts are well fucked, but if you are lucky to live in a quaint Anglo Saxon backwater like I do it’s pretty decent.,

good to hear you are happy.

so many in the UK are not

oh well!

 

[gtopa1]

Uh huh. One set of rules for Skye, another for everybody else huh.

Pat yourself on the back, you brought another thread down.

You got your told, I'm done. Unsubscribed.

Nonsense, the Skye entity just wants attention, it’s insecure, a shame you guys have to put up with it but hey ho!

lol. Skye's a goodun; I doubt she would see Corbyn as even human.

There are many excellent threads her so make sure you get out amongst it. I spend most of my time in the Badlands; safer from eviction there.

Greg

Thanks! I’ll take a look

DEFINITION
Pom
Used to describe an immigrant, usually from the United Kingdom. From the word Pomegranate which was rhyming slang for Immigrant (C1920s). This evolved to pommy and pom by the 1950s
ten pound pom - 1950s immigrant from the UK who paid roughly £10 for passage (via boat) and a plot of land.

by penef July 21, 2015

Maybe Greg could confirm it.

Thanks....I don't get the rhyme though....dense as usual. I looked up 'pom' on Google and I got "Pom Wonderful".....

Oh now I get it; a little self deprecation....gotcha. No; not dense though the East Londoners are quite inventive. A good description of rhyming slang can be found in "To sir With Love".....................the way the Cockneys clip their pronunciation.



Immigrant....................

Pomegran't'

Greg

No, I just didn't know, thanks for explaining.

No worries; glad to oblige.

Greg

So 'Pom' is like the American equivalent of the 'N' word, or Pollock, or ****, or 'Mook', or 'Slope Head', or 'Mick', 'wet back' etc.? It's slang for foreigners...now I get it.Heck, we can't even utter 'illegal alien' which is stated in our immigration law!!! PC in America does not allow us to use these terms because the MSM and the Media along with the Democrats and Hollywood control thought here in the U.S.

Had to add this....While it is true that Americans call foreigners names, it is also true that we all call each other names. Mostly good natured because right-minded folks realize that we ourselves were from foreign countries. Democrats want to seize on this and divide our nation by trying to limit speech as well as classify speech they disagree with as 'conspiracy.' And the MSM parrots them.

No but sorta..... It is actually quite endearing in most applications unless of course one is really meaning to be hurtful. I was at a get together in the UK and there was a group of blokes who wanted to play cricket. I piped up "Poms against the furriners"....and the teams split without any todo. The cricket was of a surprisingly high standard.

But it all comes down to being a bit cheeky. I've never seen a pom take it the wrong way. Of course there was the time on the M25 when a certain Pom nearly ran into me but that was well earned.

Greg
