Turned out this wasn’t the best camo in the middle of the Wulfrun Shopping Centre. Going for something a bit more blim burn leisure wear next time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 (edited) Wellingbrough and Rushden are some of the most hopeless, depressing places I've ever had the misfortune to visit. Shit schools, no real industry, no oppurtunities, no culture. It's an area where pretty much anyone who wants a decent life gets the **** out as early as possible. There's not a town in the whole county that isn't a desolate shithole. Some nice greenery though. Edited June 11, 2021 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, every town has its nutters and threats, but those two towns have been particularly notable for having some quite nasty people wandering around. Like I say, any town can have a one off incident. Both those towns I’ve encountered noisy nutters of the threateningly racist variety a couple of times, too often for it to just be a random bad day. Geographically different, but Hanley (Stoke) has also had its moments more often than just ‘chance’ would suggest. Though it was only Wolverhampton where I was pursued relentlessly by a man who accused me of being a government spy AND potentially an alien spy, but most likely a benefits spy. The only thing he was sure about, I was a spy. My grandson goes to school in what is broadly Cannock. I have been doing the school run recently and my life. I was hoping for Motherland, its closer to zombieland. Hanley is a cotswold village in comparison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not a town in the whole county that isn't a desolate shithole. Some nice greenery though. I visit quite a few towns over quite a large area. I’m a very lucky boy because the more places I visit, the more I like it here. Other than winning the millions and getting a weekend escape flat up that London, I can’t think of anywhere I’d like a move to. I mean, there’s proper rough old bits of town here, but I’m in the exceptionally lucky and privileged position where that just adds to the mix for me and I can choose how much I engage with the more ‘urban authentic’ elements of the town.

I've experienced Corby. Ok, we didn't help ourselves by having lunch in a 'Hungry Horse' pub, but there was a real atmosphere in there. Some moody looking fellas supping their Carling.

Haven't we all? We all know the story right now but I did enjoy the video on that page if a Sky Journo Shouting a question at Hancock, "Are you hopeless Mr Hancock" and just to prove how f***ing much of a clueless tit he is Hancock actually answers back (mistake number 1) but his response was "I don't think so" (Yep thats 2) I don't think so was said in a certain way that we all understand but written down.... Mr Hancock when asked if he was hopeless wasn't sure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted June 18, 2021 Moderator Share Posted June 18, 2021 I didn't even realise there was a by-election. A sitting government losing a 16k+ majority in a mid-term by-election isn't normal depite what any Tory says. Especially when they are supposedly so high in the polls 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it's a tiny, tiny thing, but it's nice to chalk up a rare win for the "not-*****" team for a change. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I see more and more anti-Boris stuff on Facebook. It’s mainly from the less educated portion of the population who got behind him to get Brexit done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Astounding figures. Apparently some local issues. Nationally, Labour should be seriously worried because the Tories have got plenty to fall back on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
