    I ‘m not bothered about Oasis either - but each to their own and I hope the fans enjoy it.
    I mean enjoy by watching it , seeing the light show/ effects, soaking up the atmosphere and being able to describe it later — not spending a fortune on a ticket just to stare at your little phone screen most of the night making a video that you’ll never watch

    That's something I just don't get at all.

    People go to Niagara Falls and look at it through a phone then shuffle along to the end of the visit. FFS just absorb what's in front of you, there's a million videos you can watch that are a million times better than what you'll record.

    I would gladly put the noose around the neck of those who harm kids - I spend my life being terrified if a small child comes close and looks like they want to interact.

    Me and Mrs Smug were camping, and hiking, in Derbyshire near Matlock. The campsite was great with wonderful views, great location and a 'shop' with an honesty box for whatever food and drink you took. A sparkling little eight year old girl, kept passing our pitch, took to Mrs Smug and invited herself to sit down, every morning, to tell us all about herself, her interests and her family. Her mam and dad were fine with all this and would tell her not to bore us too much.

    One day she got on about her dad and that he was too fat. For a joke I said I was videoing her so she should be careful what she says about people. The same afternoon her folks stomped past us without looking and, within an hour, the owners had asked us to leave the site.

    Absolutely ruined the trip and made sure I no longer allow random kids to dwell with us ...

    ... what a mess we're making of our brief time on the planet.

    Didn't want to put it on the Oasis thread, a lot obviously love their music, but not for me I'm afraid.

    was in a static in berwick recently, across the way were a scottish family and from what i could gather, 2 kids both lads, the mother and grandmother...never really spoke but one day the youngest laddie decided to talk, made sure my phone was out of sight and the gate on the static was closed while in full view of their static.

    the laddie was great, chatting away about how long they were there and where they had come from etc but felt 'difficult' which is alien to me..kids are mint and anyone even thinking of hurting them should be kicked into a dungeon and forgot about, unfortunately i come from a time when we looked after the bairns and find it hard these days to 'keep a clear distance'.

    I would drag my balls over a 100 yards of barbed wire just to hear her fart through a walkie talkie. Absolute stunner.

    i realised years ago while watching 'RED' and 'RED 2' that she has carried 'sexy' off through every age of her life, never slutty or filling the papers with stories about her private life...very dignified.

    Sorry to lower the tone, I've just collected my sample for a routine bowel screening test. I know a few lads in my age group (50-60) who've received the test kit through the post, apparently the NHS are extending it from the previous 60+ age group. Better to catch these things early so hope everyone who receives the test kit returns a sample.

    The current test is much 'simpler' than the previous one.
    That one involved taking a scraping of your sample for three consecutive days,'

    A couple of years ago, the subject of this three yearly test, cropped up in conversation in The Club.
    One of the company was appaled.
    I'm not having anything to do with all that. It's disgusting.
    Nothing the rest of us could say, including how less intrusive the new test was, could change his mind.

    Sadly he passes away last year from bowel cancer.

    I urge everyone to do this test AND make sure that your Family members do it too.

    Contrary to 'lowering the tone' Row 3, this is always good advice that we should all take notice of . . . . I've got one to do this morning :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Prison population drops by record amount under Labour early release scheme
    Pure disgrace the wrong prisoners are been released
    Recidivists should not be released there is others that fit the criteria
    These recidivists will be back in soon then the system has not worked

    Whether we think prison is for punishment or for rehabilitation, either way the other thing is that for that period the public know that they are kept away from us. For those who have accommodation or homes waiting , why not put tags on them and keep them indoors for the rest of the sentence. Surely they ( and the civil rights people) couldn’t complain about that option ?
