  1. My first taste of beer as a child I didn't like. But I saw the 'grown ups' drinking so I started. I didn't smoke until I did my National Service in 1952. I was encouraged to do it as everyone else did it and was given cigarette coupons by the army to buy my ration of twenty a day. I still drink and enjoy it but stopped smoking when I came out of the army.
  2. Of course I'm serious. Youngsters are easily led. Look at smoking, drinking, drug taking and all the other things that are considered vices by some. Youngsters, in my opinion follow the trends and if they are encouraged and like it may follow it.
  3. There is a concern that more young people are reluctant to produce children. Perhaps the increasing promotion of the glitzy razzamatazz of LGBT Pride events is encouraging the youngsters to indulge in sex with others of the same gender. Hardly a recipe for baby making.
  4. From the picture it looks like it's the old dears who still support him. Maybe they didn't have loved ones who were done away with after being SUSPECTED of drug dealing on his watch.
  5. So the Belgian has had his chips. Only those who know.😉
  6. 'They're coming to take me away aha. They're coming to take me away.'😉
  7. What's your prayer? 'Thank god I'm not constipated?' Or "Thank god, because I've got severe Bangkok Belly I managed to get to the kahzi before I s**t myself.'?
  8. I find this discrimination against plumbers offensive and hurtful. As a young plumber back in the 1940s I was one of those that enabled the population to have piped water and their excrement got rid of without getting their hands dirty. They would make expert MOD's, whatever they are? and good leaders and members of parliament. Many who seem to be up to their elbows in the stuff. I propose a Plumber's Pride Parade. Where plumbers can flaunt their tools and plungers to gain attention and equal rights. PPP has a nice ring to it.😉
  9. Yes, Biden has the experience but unfortunately he is well past his sell by date. I think he may struggle in the suggested two hour debate. But you can't turn the clock back. One wonders who is the next leader of the Democrats in waiting?
  10. I would think recruiting a couple of local lads to make him an offer he couldn't refuse might have solved the problem.
  11. Do you believe Bob? I think he has a bumper book of 'Stories to wind up readers.' And just picks one at random. Some fall for it.
  12. Never send food back to the kitchen. The chef is likely to take revenge by adding a 'not nice' ingredient. I remember Keith Floyd relating a story on the wireless many years ago. A customer used to eat at his restaurant and say the food was very nice, but.." Always something to fault. Keith elaborately prepared a beer mat, British type. "Especially for you." The customer enjoyed it without a complaint. You never know what these chefs are up to.😉
  13. Something smells about this article. Old wives tale or fact? How often while having one beer or a g+t have I heard my wife say "You're drinking. I was just going to give you some durian." I would think that if you are consuming a bucket of beer then it would be unwise to eat durian, my favourite fruit. Ripe that is. Burp! Pardon me.😋
  14. Maybe he is sent out of the country to allow the clan to do their wheeler dealing without any interruptions.
  15. The usual rolled out 'thoughts and prayers' mantra is as much use as a one legged man in a backside kicking contest. Prayers achieve nothing. Deeds do.
  16. 'Jailed for smuggling Self Raising flour. It raised me up to be a government minister.'😀
  17. Never! Jobs and perks for the boys.
  18. How does the song go? It's A Family Affair.' So it doesn't mean he is not guilty? Just too late to charge him because he fled the scene.
  19. So, other than that it was a happy marriage.😉
  20. My spiritual exercise is lifting a couple of gin and tonics most evenings, while relaxing on my veranda, enjoying the lush vegetation and cool breeze. I think it's called chilling out, in the modern parlance.😉
