    Mate how lucky are you! Only serving 5 years

    Now you can actually get in the bathrom, and leave the toilet seat up. Never understod the Mrs about that! If its up put it down, christ I have to, if I dont and hit the seat theres girder.

    No having to put up with her annoying habits, in-laws, freinds.

    No having had “too much” to drink. Jesus I wouldn’t need to if I wasn’t with my Mrs! The only escape I get from her is the very occasional drunken stupor.

    Not having to tollerate her PMS, thats “potential murder suspect” in my house.

    Being able to be right, just the once.

    Not having to eat her health food shite!

    Actually having somewhere to hang my clothes and a drawer to call my own.

    Constanly having to fix thinlgs the doppy mare has broke, dropped etc.

    Not haviing to fork out for a new kitchen because she doesn’t like the one thats only three years old.

    Not being force fed soap operas and actually being able to watch footy on tv without her, hoovering, nattering, ringing her mates and generally doing my head in.

    Being able to get to the pub within 15 minutes of deciding I am going rather than waiting an eternity for her to get ready.

    Going out on my bike when I like rather than shopping, seeing the out-laws, fitting in with her agenda, that miraculously always, and I mean ALWAYS clashes with what I either want or sometimes ned to do.

    Going to bed and not sneezing all night because of the apparent explosion in the perfume factory that produces enough stink for the whole of humanity that is our bedroom.

    GOD I so want to be single again, I think I only stay beacuse I love my dogs and couldn’t work and look after the dogs aswell.

    MIght not be what you want but I am jealous!

    Any motoray services, sorry bit off topic but you said name an shame.

    Coffeee shops, £3 for a coffeee **** me, but I am over a barrel.

    Starfucks has started making your coffee stronger! How? Easy by putting **** coffee in it! ****.

    I buy it but I spend upto 10 hours a day on motorways. An its like 50p extra for a services brew than a highstreet brew.

    They even ask your name now, WTF is that about, I just give some shit name like Balthazaar, Tracy, Agricola.

    If some caff gave me some limp shit bacon butty I would definitely complain. Christ how hard is it to make a bacon butty.

    Delamere vistor centre is very very good food though, not sure of prices but busy as heck in the summer.

    I must admit I have never come across this but if I caught someone putting piano wire across a trail it would be a body getting flung in a ditch!

    Realistically though I believe that the land should be open for responsible use to all. Ramblers object because of various reasons, either true or imaginary but we should all have equality, provided we act reasonably.

    WIth better access a better understanding could develope, trails that are suffering could be closed to recover, mtbers would appreciate this I am sure in the majority. However its usually the minority that makes it difficult. In this case the minority of people actually trying to kill a cyclist.

    When you look at the item, there are three, one at £150K one at £140K the other staraight forward auction. The first two have paostage of £25 and £20 respectively. Now assuming you bought it would you really postit.

    Ok make some cash if they want to however it shows the selection process for bearers is flawed and they dont appreciate the event if as soon as they get home they bang the torch on ebay. Thought it was meant to be a single torch handed over at each section anyway?

    EDIT – In the time it took me to write this 3 others appeared, pathetic profiteering.

    Might just be me but even a slightly miss aligned paragraph signifies the applicant doesn’t have an eye for accuracy and detail and given its a document you your whole career could depend on it really should be correct.

    br Maybe the police do, I did not say that but certainly they always need more resources. But yes perhaps they do.

    Don Yeah it is very difficult but, although I am a dog owner, I think we can agree there are occasions where not enough is done when the “family pet” is not well adjusted and potentially dangerous. Its a good move but wont change a great deal just the few that are prosecuted get longer sentences, I dont think it will deter people.

    The law currently covers all dogs but names a few specific banned breeds, however after the 2009 incident there was a dangerous dog amnesty in the area which resulted in 80 dogs, probably destroyed not sure. How many others are still out there, mostly in the hands of irresponsible dog owners.

    Like probably most things with policing there is just so much of it that its almost impossinble to police so some slips under the radar.

    All for tougher dog laws, but its not just attacks its potentially dangerous dogs.

    The dog in the 2009 attack was reported to police before the event who said they could do nothing. It transpired that it was a dangerous breed so the police did have powers.

    I hope it changes things but many many dog owners need educating. Also many people should not be allowed to keep dogs. Again the 2009 attack the house the dog lived in was a standard terrace with a yard so the dog, inn my opinion had inadequate space to exercise, ie no garden.

    The existing dog laws are too weak.

    The sentence should be 10 years as unfortunately occasionally it can result in deaths.

    Definitely first name. I think the protocol is if they have provided a first name its fair gme to use. If they wante a Sir Madam they woul have put Mr Lifer or Miss Lifer. I think the cklues are there.

    Generally speaking there is a lot less formality now very often in a good way. Sometimes not so good ie first name terms, dressing down etc.

    My advice use the information, they have put their first name out there use it.

    Sorry Graham not fear mongering just an opinion, I also work in IT and never rolled out Vista because it was shit. It may be OK now its all lovely and patched etc but we have Windows 7. When we had XP or Vist nobody went Vista because it was shit. Then Windows 7 came out quite quickly in the software lifecucle, bacause Vista was shit.

    2+ years after Windows 7 is released Vista works, brilliant, bit late though!

    Ackers Hall Aintree 6 miles, you go through West Derby, Noggsy, Fazak then your near Aintree!

    Pricess Drive, Croxteth Hall Lane, Stonebridge Lane, Copplehouse Lane, Aintree Lane, Wango Lane, School Lane, Melling Road. NO WHERE **** NEAR AINTREE RACECOURSE

    The victim was not charged because there was no victim, you actually say it was hearsay. As far as I know your the only person who knows this.

    As for walking around tooled up? **** me, never happened in Liverpool. You were either known so you didn’t need to be tooled up. Not a threat ie just doing your day to day thin so didnt need to be tooled up.

    For the record where Brookside was filmed is nowhere near Aintree Racecourse where JAckson played.

    Your a wannabe that never was. I have never heard so much shite spoken by anyone in my life as you. Yeah Liverpools ruff, in places, as any UK city is as I have been to most. Never tooled up etc. **** me!!!!!!!!!!!

    Think its been said by other people, theres never an excuse to walk around tooled up. I also know Huyton very well having drunk there and have a lot of freinds from there and Kirkby. Most people are perfectly pleasant just getting on with their lives.

    You state the Anthony Walker battered Bartons brother.

    The same brother who got battered by the black kid and his mates a couple of days before

    Then say

    When it was in court it was inferred that the victim was also of dubious character, but that’s all, it was heresay

    Make your mind up???

    Was Anthony Walker the perpetrator of his own misfortune, ie the aggressor that got his comeupance, or an innocent kid killed by a moron carrying an offensive weapon? He was waiting at a bus stop with his girlfreind and, his freind who went for help, returning to fing said axe embedded in his head. Not an axe wound but actually embedded in his head.

    I would ask the local funeral service if they knew of a local group. Failing that there is the Lighthouse Trust, Bereavment UK, Funnerals Uk. Sorry just from Google, even NHS direct, your GP as suggested and Direct.gov.

    Can you and the family offer some support until you can find someone independent or the right kind of support wether its emotional or practical. I am sure you have and I know its difficult, even just making the calls for her to find whats available locally. I understand how difficult this can be as I was in a very similar situation. Good luck and I hope you do find what she needs.

    I agree with dogbert, my first instinct would have been a right kicking. However fair play to wilde86 for showing restraint.

    My personal experience is that the police tend to be ineefective, however in this case he is at the court stage so looks like the CPS has decided to prosecute. Lets see what he gets, if anything.

    As dogbert says, its my opinion and not necessarily correct, in the cold light of day I wouldn’t advise it but if I had to chase some scumbag down I would probably not be the most level headed.

    Good work guys.

    Umm yeah agreed there are two sides to the story and whatever said black kid did or did not do does not condone an axe in the head! However

    Carrying an axe for protection? Are you for real!

    And for the record it was racially motivated and unprovoked as far as I am aware I have not seen any evidence that Anthony Walker attacked Michael Barton. However if you feel thats justificataion fo going out and then killing someone so be it!

    I agree with the comments but its a product of the environment he is in. Thats all as I am suggesting here. Also in my opinion I dont think the guy is fit to represent and play football.

    Apologies he didnt end Dabo’s career I misread a report.

    Barton is a thug and he comes from a family of thugs with a very very seedy resume. Besides his antics yesterday, “trying to take a city player with him.

    Brother and cousin kill a guy because he is black.

    Cousins kill an innocent father.

    Barton

    2005 broke a guy’s leg while driving his car through Liverpool city centre.

    2007 arrested for suspicion of assault on a taxi driver and criminal damage.

    2008 6 months in prison for assault and affray.

    2008 four months suspended sentence for assault and ABH on a Man City team mate ending team mates Man City career.

    Thats besides his antics on the football pitch and his self evangelising twitter comments and attcks on other people.

    He is a disgrace, an individual who isn’t even a very good player!

    He should be banned for life by the FA let alone no club should even touch him.

    Not sure what you are officially allowed. However 4days is standard in my place, but they also allow reasonable time to care for family and dependents. That would cover this case as you really need to support your mother.

    Any reasonable manager will be ok with 2-3weeks.

    My deepest sympathy and I hope you get the time you need.

    Well the only thing you have not cut and pasted is where I allegedly called you a “lilly livered liberal”

    Can we therefore assume it did not actually happen?

    pingu66
    Free Member

    Oh what did I say that was outlandish? Suprised you have not cut and pasted it! Was it suggesting the BNP may have some good notions? You possibly assumed that I was referring to their immigration and or racist undertones.

    As for me being a bully I accept your views which you are entitled to, wether I agree is irrelevent and I do in fact in many areas however that does not give you a right to bully people.

    Equally when you are found out and someone suggests that you are a bully then turning around and calling them a bully is not particularly intelligent or clever its simply a guilt ridden knee jerk reaction.

    Glad you actually took time to read the manifestos, as I have read most of the UK ones and a glance at the Tea Party, you spout your venomous hatred at all who think differently to you then sneak a peak to see what you are actually talking about.

    Regarding the thread, its off track, did I call you a “lilly livered liberal”, I think you wll find I used that as a phrase without specifying anybody, therefore please stop twisting what has and has not been said. If you felt it struck a personal nerve then so be it.

    Would you have been as offended if I had said the Tory Party. Probably not as BNP is emotive and you assume I am referring to its racial undertones. You don’t know me yet you persist in challenging a few people in here at every turn.

    If the cap fits wear it, for those interested read my posts and see who exactly I did or did not call a “lilly livered liberal”. I couldn’t find me calling you that, if you can so be it. There is a post where you make that assumption incorrectly.

    Anyone actually read the Tea Party manifesto?

    I think the key issues are that a comment is being made and certain members are hijacking such comments as an outline for a posters total ideology, which is rarely the case.

    Hence bullying, there is far too much cut and paste here and bullying which is also obvious in other threads. This from people who simply believe that their way is the only way.

    To a degree accept we are all different and have to live in society. This has gone so far off topic its untrue.
