Great pics, Sless. Especially the one of the pint of Guinness :D I was never really a Guiness drinker until I went to Dublin with someone who was - and I got hooked! It's all I drink now. Apart from 'working' in Belfast, I've only been to Dublin and am looking at visiting Cork next. I was just read...

I went to this Chinese restaurant about 12 months ago and had never noticed it before. Not sure how long it was open before then, though.

Yep, been an extra in Emmerdale Between takes, they showed us where the beer tent was (served only pints of Theakstons) and we drank it dry. So, I was well sozzled when I was filmed

Except Jack the Ripper - he always looked a bit of a shadowy figure to me

Well, he does look like an ordinary bloke

I'm a big fan of both. I have framed pics of both above me in my study now 8) However, for all I think Johnny Cash is awesome, you can't deny what Elvis achieved. I know what you say about the movies, but Elvis didn't have a choice. Col. Parker got him into the contracts. But......considering how ba...

Yep, the very same bloke Babs

Vertigo was 1958 not the 60's Gazza. In future, if you're going to give out clues, make sure they're factual ones - please!

I was looking at it about 2 hours ago and sent a link to all my contacts. Within that time it's been deleted. It didn't really say much, nothing really to talk about. He had 7 friends and didn't give too much away about himself. Stated he was on My Space, looking for friends/serious relationship. He...

Oi, Para, what do you mean 'another' stupid comment by Jerry? It was the first time I'd opened my mouth on this thread! If you just meant 'another stupid comment, this time by Jerry' OK. Anyway you've misunderstood me. I wasn't on about this b*****d and his compo. I was replying to Cisco's alarming...

Delilah, I KNOW what you have been pointing out about the law, all anybody wanted was to hear you say that he SHOULDN'T get the money. We all know what the law is at times - arse! Gazza, I wasn't being hypocrytical. If you read my post carefully, what I'm saying is that if someone is innocent and ha...

Delilah, I see what you're saying about the difference between 'entitled' and 'deserve'. But, you are giving people the wrong impression of your character by being pedantic instead of answering a simple question - regardless of 'deserving' or 'entitlement' should he have it at all in your opinion? N...

Gazza, would you not agree though, that sentences are too lenient anyway? Most prisoners only serve half of their lenient sentence and are allowed to serve the rest in the community. Surely, that's not right? So, if he served a bit longer then that's less than he deserves for what he did. At the ver...

Cisco, I'm surprised at you. Equality before the law is a fundamental principe in civilised societies. The Conservative and Liberal parties support that as well as do socialists. As Delilah says, this applies to nasty people as well as nice. If you're ever wrongfully arrested (it does happen) you'l...

Bang on, Cisco!

I was a HGV class one ( artic ) driver for a few years and had some rather interesting experiences with high winds and motorways. Alright when you loaded down with 40 tonnes of machinery , but a full load of sanitary towels wasn't much help. :lol: :lol: I had periods of driving with one side of the...

I have answered the question - see post above. Mrs Blair ( I don't particularly like her but she doesn't deserve to be called a beast ) would be a top lawyer making loads of money if Tony had decided to remain a lawyer and not enter politics. I have given you an example of how ordinary people have ...

Well if it was Tony's fault blame him. It's like me blaming your wife for the things you post on the board. Cisco I'll find some examplea and post them. It's only the big cases that make headlines but there are numerous examples of ordinary people using legislation to prove a point. You know what I...
