  1. Fear of littigation I suspect mate.
  2. Emma Im with you on this one A poor show from weatherspoons, I used to work in the UJC in Waterloo so was used to seeing MOD 90s, I can picture the pass well What I cant recall is the information on it If I recall it is minimal, I am by no means defending the doormen at weatherspoons but if they dont show a date of birth on the Pass it canot be proof of age, wich may be a stipulation of entry. As young servicemen and women would get issued one on jioning up at sixteen years of age, the term screw the nut comes to mind when dealing with situations like this. Ive been a Doorman for years it seems they remove the power of common scence from you on reciept of an SIA Badge these days.
  3. Thats fine mate the little girl had the good sence to know Wog is offensive Davey I was gutted that my slave storey has been de Buncked, Its a blow to fined out youve been lied to at school.
  4. In that case The Golliwog dolls and the Golliwog on the Jampots have different Historys or so I have been led to believe. I was taught at school that the Robinson Golliwog was a celabration of an inspiring young slave that one of the Robinson family was going to buy to work one of thier sugar plantations in the west Indies, he was asked if he was purchased by a kind master would he be Honist? he said No! when asked why he replied because Im honist allready. A nice story I suppose but maybe not the greatest piont in history to borrow a maskot from even if the person the Logo emulated was a great person. I know many Black poeple who had Golliwogs as toys as we did years ago and didnt give them much thought I think in the early eighties some one took eception to the Wog part in the name and then opened a can of worms, I think they where rebranded and sold as Gollimen for a while. I remember the Black and White Minstrells, the first ever Black singer they had in the troop had to black up as well, and dont forget Al Jollson, A white Jew sported the same make up.In a lot of early cartoons Felix the cat and Betty boo Black poeple where depicted in a similar way as Gollywogs with emphisised whites of eyes and teeth, they where also dipicted as being a bit dim witted thats got to be a mark against Gollywogs. Now do I think they shouild be barred. No I dont! should the Wog bit be dropped from the name Possibly! even Marathons and opel friuts suvived a rebranding. Should the significance (if Any) of the Dolls be taught as a piece of Westen Eruropian and American culture yes! every one knows the history of the Teddy bear.
  5. The City has ground to halt I am on scheduled time off so have had a result, I think we are in for some more this evening wich may be worse I am working tomorow. Just spoken to a pall who was night working in our Cannon street office the whole day shift has blown out and he is stranded!! Im sure we have had worse than this and the world hasnt stopped 77-91 and 2003 for example. It looks like no gritting has taken place in South East London I found my self going sideways down an incline in the Jeep last night I managed to sort my self out before I hit any thing the only damage was in the Underware Department!!! Peggey you got your post in as i was writing mine I think the Lack of gritting was a contivance to keep poeple in.
  6. I would be as bold to counter that using the Thames as an example of an improved fishery since the sewage and efluant releases have been cut. The anual bloom of May water is largley down to fertilizer and Nitrates in the system that dont belong, and any kent/Essex angler wil tell you what a detremental effect that has on our river.
  7. The HSE have a mythbusting section on thier web site for that very reason.
  8. I dunno mate I would say welding cast was the last thing youd want to do as a DIYer It has a serial number on it that would suggest a run or a method of Identification when ordering. Its funny you should mention bananas I thought About a harvisting tool I also saw sheep carcasses being unloaded off of high hooks from a refridgeration plant with a hook not dissimilar to the one in the picture.
  9. I suppose summing a person up on one meeting isnt the most sound of sciences, But I felt I should speak how I found
  10. Ive got a huge one!! erhem, Its designed for your Neck and shoulders I get a fair bit of pain in the cold months from a combination of Martial arts and Rugby injuries They are good but as said run out a bit quickly might be worth keeping a couple!
  11. Unpleasent? I met him about a year before he died he seemed A nice old boy.
  12. My mate recons it could be the end of a switch stick used for reaching under a old style electric loco and reseting a blown main motor breaker. It isnt exactly like what he has used before himself as there are state differances in train type.
  13. My Chillies bombed last year as well, the Scotch bonnet type chilli looks like a mini capsicum but a bit lob sided as a rule, It has a flavour like no other firery hot but It tastes of somthing as opposed to just burning your mouth, I got the juice of one under my finger nails once when chopping it chef styley very uncomfortable, I look a right pratt but I always put on the marigolds since do you do Rice and peas with your Curry Goat Or Roti?
  14. The Sqiud Man!!! Cory right?
  15. Scots bonnet or nothing in Curry goat it has a distinctive flavour synominous with Caribean cooking I have tried to use other types in the past and the Mrs always notices
  16. The food of kings! (drunk ones any way) A great man has passed
  17. Fred if you can wait untill tomorow I will show the picture to my mate he was a Train driver in Melbourne and one of the last to be trained on steam Locos I will ask him.
  18. Thanks for posting that mate it was stunning! John Mclaughlin! Mahavishnu orchestra? Bit to psychedellic for me
  19. I say this with respect Bobj But that is a crock of sh1t,writen by a bored man For one any of the followers of the Abramic belifes, Judism,Christianity are to left in piece they are referd to in the Koran and Hadif as followers of the book! Granted this is somthing that is conveiniantly forgotten by Some clerics but If pushed they have to agree that that passage exists, Jihad is a word that covers a lot of differant Ideals war is only one of them Missionary work would count as Jihad, so would Charitable work. There is enough Hate in the world,stired up by Uneducated radicalised Clerics of all faiths without us adding to the Pot whith inacurate proberly fabricated acounts of exchanges between Smart arsed Screws and Thick Imams. I would have thought any Austrailian state Prison authority would have had the forsight to make sure thier chosen Imam Understood the doctrins of his own religion. food for thought only in as much as I thought good grief not another Viral Email.
  20. A very good piont made there, and to also add grouping the white comunity in the US as one Hamoginus lump would be inacurate as well, I have a good friend from New york who as far as she is concerned is Polish,and another work coleague of mine who was in the Rangers for five years refers to him self as a Lithuanian American all these white sub groups have thier own social clubs and groups and edjucation funds and scholarships one of the big problems I once read that the early US cavalry in the indian wars had, was although comprised of entirely white Eroupians was Lack of a common languge, another piont the originator of that little tirade forgot to make is, there no mention of the exclusion of the Native American for a large part of the White Europians presance in America,
  21. Yep your right! there are truths There are White racists and there are Black racists Pots and kettels all Radicalised bitter twisted people who bring nothing to the table but hate, Oddly that truth Isnt acknolaged in that dross, Nor is the root causes of the black only clubs, A load of shite mate nothing new,in the content nor the sentiment,
  22. I would say that Most of the fish that we consume have a degree of parasitic infections, Most big cod Ive caught have, Unless they are crawing off the filleting block on there own dont worry about them freezing kills them as does killing the host fish, the flesh is not genraly impared and is edible. one of the joys of free range food!
