Macron have a big factory unit in walsall...passed it the other day....dunno if this is a tenuous link, to make a midlands footy club's kit......nah, probably not :confused:

Both my parents born & bred in the rebel county (Cork to those who didnt know), came over here in 60's as many others, to work....I was born here. Had UK passport but a few years ago, went for irish one too. The irish embassy in London were quite twattish about it all....had to supply all my details, including my (now defunct) marriage cert, birth cert...AND my folks wedding and both their own (now tattered) birth certs before they would consider me. What got my old lady narked was that they give passports out to asylum seekers over there who aint even a hint irish and she told the pen pushers that as well. Got it in the end though. No problems with it at all, apart from once visiting america, one dozy immigration clerk typed in IR in to my arrival data log on his pc instead of IE for the country code. Carried on my journey to Vegas no problem. Only on my departure 2 weeks later flying out of Vegas the check in girl said i had been booked in as an Iranian so I would need to join the other long long queue of "alien" nationals..got searched 4 separate times...almost missed my flight......i mean she agreed i didnt look iranian but what could she do ? I said "look, my middle name is Patrick for God's sake !!" No difference. Luckily i was spared the rubber glove search. All because some minimum wage desk clerk couldnt be bothered to look up the country code for Ireland. Rant over !

Take the brother up the wro......oh, hang on a sec :?

what is going on with the eye make up ? Looks like a ten bob hooker. Tone it down girl ! Still would, though........I'm sure she'd be relieved to know that.

Office christmas parties when i was a junior....wide eyed & amazed at what went on.....even the previously aloof fittest bird in the office defrosted a bit & you thought you had a chance but all you got was a a peck on the cheek from her (still counted as a conquest when you were 17 !) The buzz on the last office day before xmas....early evening in town, up n down new street or wherever.....everyone seemed to be in a good mood & a great atmosphere hung in the crisp night air !

Would love to believe DB would be up for this & kick their arses......but.....can see no better than a 0-1 to us until the 93rd minute when they equalise.

Take them up the wrong un

Looks like she's done you up the wrong un Seriously, a hefty discount is all you can hope for unless you have a time machine. They should know that word of mouth is important in their profession, so lopping a wedge off the bill is the least they can do. Good luck

I was at my niece's graduation ceremony in symphony hall last month, about 1500 people in the arena, watching grads go up on stage, shake hands with some aal fossil in a coloured gown & hat, then exit off the other side of the stage. This went on for about 2 hours. As the grads gets to the centre of the stage, his/her name is read out....anywho.....one poor asian lad walks on stage right, shakes Yoda's hand just as his name is announced......Saddam Hussein :shock: The place erupted in laughter and the poor lad was left to walk off stage left looking out at the audience with sadness or bewilderment on his face. He must've been getting loads in his recent life in different situations but on his proudest day he looked totally crestfallen. So....anyone relate to this or experience similar tales ?

Disagree, when she first came onto the scene, she was fit, a fit bit of pure filth/Essex Disagree, apart from the filth bit. Total, total munter. I concur with your "filth" comment...so we are ALL in agreement then ?

Total **** munter. Always has been.

I meant "heroes".

One of my Kent hereos from my youth. Too young. RIP big man.

I just hope that those brave Braga fans dont : 1. Catch anything inside that cesspit and 2. Dont get ambushed by those fucktards on the way home. One can only hope.....

erm.........erm.....take her up the wrong un ? :?

Serious?? cheers for the heads up. Best not go in sunday so, with my Villa top on & all. Might try it tomarrow morning when i get into the city. I might be wrong for sunday but when you think about it, a lot of SHA drink in town & if that place has SKY then along with the cheaper booze (if its still a weatherspoons pub)along with the big chance they go down it could get nasty. It has kicked off there before on a sunday,so....well, I'd give it a miss just in case. Better off going to a pub nearer VP. That said - enjoy your day !

Wont the square peg be full of SHA ? Heard its a moody place at times.....but if you get out of there in good time then fair enough.

Got ya. Once bitten & all that....good thinking. I did the same on my first place. Good luck.

I've just noticed.....you've sold to first timers yourself, right ? So......that means, you've bought before ? What I mean is, it doesnt sound like you're a total green horn at this type of thing. How did you play it last time ? FWIW, (i think) a divorce means a quicker sale is preferred....from one party's point of view anyway.

When i sold my house 3 yrs ago I too had to be realistic & remember that I had only ONE house to sell, whereas the viewers had a whole shedload to see if they wanted so I had to be felxible. Depends on how badly the seller wants rid - got a new job elsewhere so needs to relocate ? Even if the answer is "no" to that question then I am sure everyone wants a quick sale. This is the biggest purchase of your life and you'll be paying for the privilege so dont be soft. Dont be scared of offending the vendor with a low offer. If it's up for £175000 then I'd offer £167,000. I got some crap offers but just expected it as all part of the game. You're not the vendor's mate so you owe them nothing in matters of respect. Sounds like you're well keen on the place, so make an offer, expect it to be turned down & then make a second a few days later. If that's refused then "walk away" - or appear to. Let his agent chase you. One woman made a bid to me of £10,000 below the price & I told her to do one. I "sold" to another who then dropped out a long way down the path & as I had almost placed an offer on a place I wanted, I panicked & told my agent to call the woman back & let her know I had graciously changed my mind & would accept her offer. The crafty cow knew the score & came back with another offer £2000 LESS than her first ! She knew i was desperate & played on it. Luckily, I sold to a neighbour's mate but still for £3000 less than my lowest total. In short then....keep your nerve. If you REALLY are in love with the place then dont go any nearer than £4000 of the asking price. Good luck !

Tell ya what i hate - root beer !! Fckin awful.....tasted like liquid germolene !!!!

This. Absolutely this. L'Arse can play their pretty footy on a big pitch that dont look lke a **** tractor just gone around it like the Sty's last night. Silky football + wide pitch = blosers getting spanked in front of the watching nation.

I try to listen to talksport just for hawksbee & jacobs these days....that "self appointed celeb" 'ammer fan moose abrahams brings wet spam in to almost everything & it gets on my norks. "....breaking news from west ham....david gold has just had a shit in the toilet.....i know this cos i'm up his arse !" Actually.....what a thought !!

I remember he opened a business called Punch & Jewelry......bling for boxers & all that stuff. Off out on a daily bike ride, as part of his routine (my guess anyway). Just goes to show, you never know what's in store. RIP Mase.

i booked in advance for the ny rangers hockey match at MSG & collected the tickets during the daytime - all peace of mind. Whenever i go stateside i gotta take in a sporting event/game whatever it may be. Yes, it'll be cold so "bundle up" as the locals say. They also say "this weather sucks man, i'm off to florida" alot. If you're walking around at night stay in the populated, well lit streets - unlike me, looking for a local bar i'd heard of, well my bottle went after taking the 3rd wrong turning & practically dived headfirst in to a passing taxi after hearing what i believed to be a gun being cocked. Otherwise, enjoy.....
