According to Wikipedia I live in the safest Labour seat in the country. Makerfield, Wigan.

Been Labour since the Parliamentary Party was formed in 1906 – again from Wikipedia.

I have had phones from them in the past and then, just under 18 months ago, used their website to get my current provider (O2) to match a deal on a Sony Xperia Z1 which was new out at the time.

Shellfish in general, but Mussels specifically.

“The Indian” just across from the police station was good last time I went about 3 years ago.

The Tamarind Table a bit further away in Atherton is excellent.

Mahabarat in Hindley is also good and not too far away.

How can two world class players play that shit, and yet turn in a fantastic match like that?

Barney vs Lewis

Like watching pub darts at times but very entertaining.

I love watching the darts. It’s only Christmas when the darts starts.

The last two sets of keys that my wife lost turned up in the fridge and the wheelie bin.

Another Tag Heuer Formula One wearer here. Had it since 1994. Wear it every day for work.

Just measured it – 34mm face, 17mm stainless steel bracelet/strap. It’s a perfect size for me, not over keen on the mahoosive watches that are in fashion. I do have fairly small wrists though.

Okay, just for fun because he knows who all of these are. (and we don’t have any My Little Ponies for midlifecrashes!)

Can you name them? How good are your Google skills tonight?

Surely it was criated rather than being descovered or envented

We’ve just had some lovely Parma ham, salami and olives as our Saturday evening watching TV snack.

Snack probably isn’t the right word though. Don’t think I’ll want my tea/dinner* for a while.

*delete according to local dialect preference.

Midlifecrashes – superb

It’s official. There is nothing STW cannot answer.

Thanks everyone 🙂

Haha brilliant

I just need “Jesus” and the smiley chap in blue trunks now.

Another good call. Thanks.

His are going on ebay tomorrow. Will have to leave these last three as “unidentified”

My son is now in awe at the power of STW.

firestarter, razorrazoo – ta.

Four down four to go.

My Google search skills are rubbish today. “KD pink pants wrestler” why did I not think of that?

razorrazoo – brilliant. thanks.

As you can tell I’m far from an expert on this.

I’ve just shown him this thread and he rather sheepishly said “oh, yeah. I’ve got two John Morrisons. I remember now.”

Jamie – we don’t think its Big Show. Different tattoos and haircut. looks very similar though.

scardeypants – Looks like you’re right. He thought this was John Morrison

Ta. One down seven to go.

Saturday
am: U16 top of the table clash*
pm: not a lot
evening: curry with family
Sunday
am: U16 last 16 of County Cup*
pm: nothing

*(football – I’m Dad, taxi driver and supporter, not playing)

Looks like its to do with being a new seller or not putting tracking information on ebay.

From Paypal help page.

I don’t mind watching NFL. Its easy enough to follow as long as you don’t expect it to flow like football.

A fella I work with is a QB coach for a local side and he insists that College Football is a lot better to watch.

Still not as good as basketball though.

but what were you doing to flood a hard wood floored room with black water?[/I]

I’m guessing it was a failed attempt at bleeding radiators.

I’m also in the “be an adult” camp. Shit happens. Insurance or just live with it.

Not sure if it counts as a board game as such but Frustration is our favourite.

he took his Grand Voyager in for a service and one of the mechanics sold his manifold to a scrap metal collector, rendering the car worthless.

I realise things are done a bit differently in SA but that’s incredible!

Anything that Music Magpie offers more than £1 for is worth looking up individually on eBay or Discogs. There is a reason they are offering more than 20-25p.

I put a load on Music Magpie and one CD in particular stood out at £3. Sold it on ebay for £55.

Even some they offered 50p for fetched £5 to £6 on eBay.

Watched this the other night and really enjoyed it.
Film Neil: “Is that really how it happened?”
Real Neil: “No”
Brilliant.

I’d be surprised if the HSE didn’t take a keen interest in that dropped lift no matter how short staffed they are. He may well be an amateur but the crane operator isn’t. Lift Plan anyone?

Andy Todd and Stan Collymore

Absolutely loved this book as a child.

Over 40 years later I can still almost remember the sequence of animals involved.

Superb

I have nothing sensible to add but did see this chap, German I think, on the way back from Devon a couple of years ago.

kristoff – love that MK2. Was always a fan of the Rallye headlights, a proper “90s” mod.

I’ve had every version of the GTI apart from a MK2 – one day I will get an Oak Green 16v!

I still miss my MK1 with its 1800 16v conversion.

Not a software issue but I was a bit surprised to see my max speed as 87.5mph 😯

Either I’m a cycling god or there was a “glitch”

Officially contracted to 42.5 hours per week.

08:00 to 17:30 Monday to Thursday 08:00 to 15:00 Friday with 1/2 hour lunch.

But, I am paid to do a job not put hours in. Some days I work longer, some days I finish earlier and take the rough with the smooth.

If they are standard paving blocks, eg Marshalls Keyblock or similar, then it is not possible to lay them with tight joints. They have little ridges on the sides to ensure even sized joints (approx 3mm).

They are laid the right way up with the chamfer on top for a reason. Block paving is designed to be “flexible” and the 3mm sand joint is there to allow movement.

I’d be wary that they guy suggesting that they can be laid upside down doesn’t know what he is doing.

Great news for you all. Thanks for sharing. Raising a glass of red to you.
