I'm not the one making a fuss about it! However, I grew up in a military family, I lived on frontline nuclear RAF stations, my late father saw active service in Egypt and Kenya. You and I are both too old to be considered for active service, the nearest you'd get is digging ditches or unrolling barbed wire! So shush wee son!

Dad served in Egypt during the Suez Crisis, never spoke about it, but things would trigger him and you could see that he was back there. Lost one of my best friends in the Falklands. War is not glamorous, war is hell and it must be the last resort.

Stoney it was! Bexxy was brilliant, longest legs I've ever seen  Wink

Seriously one of the hottest Cobblers supporters.

It was Aidy (RIP)

We lost Aidy far too early. Always saved me a taxi home after a night out.

Some good days and nights out, Dav, Jdtntfc, Linda, Benemi, young Trasler, Bexy, Karl on a date, and a young girl who’s name escapes me 🥳

Is that the time we started in the Bus Club after the game and ended up on the Welly Road?
It was nice to meet up with Linda last time I was over and I bump into Nige at family get togethers.

I can remember a few on here from the days of the old Rival site. Met up with a few of you over the years.

And arming and training. Who else supplied, and taught them how to fly, those paragliders?

The thing is that the majority of Iranians I know are not it the slightest extreme and really don't give a s*** about Israel one way or the other.
108  General Category / General Chat / Re: War on: January 29, 2024, 11:35:01 am
I can't see that Hamas would have attacked without orders or at a minimum goading from Iran. The whole region is a powder keg. Iran and her allies in the region are disliked and distrusted by Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Bahrain because of historical interference. Us and the US lobbing missiles into The Yemen is certainly not helping the situation and that issue should be left to the Saudis to sort out.
It's going to be a matter of not when or if, but how big the escalation in the conflict is going to be and who the players are going to be.
Get ready for oil shortages.

Just think how sweet it would be to go up through the play-offs at the expense of the Scum.

Excellent win, I enjoyed watching that.

Yeah it must be difficult when they have tunnels under schools, hospitals not to mention ammunition dumps and 120 hostages, stop parroting the awful BBC.

So what's you take on the situation over there?
Personally I have no opinion on who is right or wrong. I do question what Hamas thought they were going to achieve by poking the hornet's nest. The Israeli response has been nothing less than would be expected and they will continue to flatten Gaza and ignore any rulings from international bodies as usual.
Were Hamas expecting the rest of the Muslim world to step up for them? If that's the case they grossly misread the sentiments of other Arab nations. Having friends in the Middle East I can tell you sympathy for Hamas and their ilk is not and has not been for quite a while high. One of the major stumbling blocks being their ties in with Iran which itself is not appreciated, especially in the Gulf region and across into Saudi Arabia. A stark reminder of this is how few Gaza refugees are being allowed to relocate to neighbouring countries, Jordan has learnt it's lesson about a welcome mat policy.

Yes, can't argue with that and I've had similar service which is obviously a more efficient process.
But I was just reminiscing the old times, sitting in the Doctors waiting Room, sharing ailments and walking out with more having caught whatever everyone else was suffering from  Grin

I can remember years ago I had chicken pox and told the receptionist this when I went to the doctor. She told me to take a seat in the waiting room, I said O have chicken pox, she shrugged and pointed to the waiting room. I know of at least three people who caught it from me that day.

Any idea when this problem might be fixed.
114  General Category / General Chat / Re: NHS on: January 27, 2024, 12:36:13 pm
You’ve just described the current system that is broken.
As I’ve said before the NHS has become a magnet for the lazy and work shy, the amount of lost time due to “sickness” in the NHS is off the scale, you have a job detecting who’s a patient and who works there.

I will give you the benefit of the doubt there and assume you are referring to the huge amount of pointless management positions and not the dedicated nursing staff.
115  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: The final Straw on: January 27, 2024, 08:39:38 am


Although I don't think players go out to directly get the manager the sack, I do think that sometimes they make their feelings known by perhaps not trying as much as they should. You lose the dressing room you lose your job, no doubt about that.



I think Brian Clough would not agree with that.

I’m with you on this one, it’s about as interesting as piles.

I would think if you are a sufferer then they would be very interesting.

Lights blue touch paper...

Darts is not a sport



It is more a sport than a lot of olympic events. Any event that has a subjective element in the scoring is simply not a sport.
119  General Category / General Chat / Re: War on: January 26, 2024, 16:18:02 pm
…..of course, the media sources that subscribe to your viewpoint are the ones telling the truth - how easily the public are manipulated.

There are those on here who whole heartedly believe everything the BBC report.

You need to put down the wackjob conspiracy sites pal, it has turned you into an incoherent Russia apologist.

How can you say “Putin is not interested in conquering the whole of the country and knows there is no value in mass bombing or missile attacks?” They’ve razed a good portion of the country and its infrastructure to the ground and their advance was only repelled by brave Ukrainians conscripts blocking them. If the Uk was invaded by Russia how much of it would you deem it acceptable for them to Annex before you’d accept a military response? Anything further than Canterbury perhaps? All whilst committing the most heinous war crimes - and don’t try to contest that it happened, it has been verified by all the leading humanitarian agencies and journalist centres.

At what point did I say that Russia was not in the wrong for the invasion? I do feel that the disputed areas should have been given a vote on whether to stay part of the Ukraine, be independent or join Russia. We gave a similar opportunity to the Scots.

As for your humanitarian agencies and journalist centres all controlled by the WEF and their cohorts, just keep accepting the morsels they give you.
