Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

It made me smile!

Fred yes thats correct you have to have a license but mines a private dam. it belongs to the company I run which invest in short stay and rental property.

Birds Eye withdraws meals after Belgium horse DNA find

Birds Eye said its chili con carne had tested positive for 2% horse DNA.

The news comes as the Food Standards Agency prepares to announce results of its latest tests into the contamination of processed beef products.

The tests - on a range of ready meals - are likely to indicate whether the horsemeat scandal has been contained.

Cyners, Harold Wilson was certainly working class. I was born 4 houses down from where he was born on manchester road Huddersfield, Cowlersley/milnsbridge.

We both went to same primary school and junior school Milnsbridge, and secondary school Royds Hall and yep it was a grammer school in Harolds day. (not mine I failed 11 plus)

He was noted for being a speed reader, genious and a good friend of chap at Elland gannex (crook) .....coats.

To this day hes still rated as brainiest MP ever, Rachel Revees (i kid u not) just behind. Forgot which college it was now where they both went.

New College, Oxford?

Not sure skinny know they both went to same college cant remember where i read it.

Maybe it was after uni.

Can anybody help where would you find that info.????????????????

Just like to thank both the BBC and ITV for good viewing yesterday evening, a marked improvement on the shite the night before...... Brit Awards....... numptys..... extension of X factor garbage.

That guy who presented it should be a prop forward for Wales.

Recorded BBC 2 cycling Laura Trott, shes going to be a World Great and watched live the 2 footy matches. brilliant games both. Well done.

goldfinger - just type where was Harold Wilson educated in the top corner and google will tell you everything you want to know - it does say Jesus College Oxford.

Cheers mate.

Got it London School Of Economics.edit.... No think it was one of the oxford unis.

3m - no probs with anyone who has the brains to get into oxbridge ..... it just amuses me that 'arold is perceived by most to have been a good and solid working class lad wot made good, dinne

btw, i think i have worked out some good recipes for lamb breasts - they're currently braising slowly for 3 hours

cynic, I am not getting into this one only telling gf how to find 'arolds education. I am not a red and never will be.

Cyners for once believe somebody, he was a genuine working class kid. you had to be around where we both grew up. I know he later moved up the road to a better house about 100 yards away but that didnt make him higher class. think it was Warnford road summat like that.

Royds Hall was a rough house aswel......... dont kid me that he was anything more than working class or Ill get my mum who knew him well and his family to come on here and give u a lecture....... and youl like that.............. NOT.

I read this story about the nuns earlier and was looking forward to a bit of scandal as a very lapsed catholic/athiest.

My local priest used to drink scotch heavily at the catholic social club and probably at home. His doctors kept warning him that it was causing damage to his arteries. They said stop or you will lose a leg and sure enough they took off his foot. Then they mentioned the other foot, which was removed. They then said stop or you will die and he carried on drinking and died.


God wasn't much use to him.

Shame they didn't teach spelling and grammar at Milnsbridge and Royds Hall.

sticky - to be honest, i don't really care (in the nicest sense) ..... i believe his father was a chemist and his mother also did something non-menial ...... to me, a miner is working class, so i can look down on 'im and 'e can look up to me; but i looks up to 'im (lord snodgrass) but 'e looks down on me :-)

Ha ha ha just phoned mother, she says that lot were as common as muck... says dad was a liberal!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Shes coming down to box your ear cyners LOL.

Fair does cyners.... your a decent chap...... well very decent............ not like that pratt called Winnie.

Sure hes gone funny in the head. So bitter and twisted.
