milan.... hundreds of pissed geordies in the square at the front of the main train station despite the alcohol ban. all became clear when you noticed groups of lads being led to the underground car park and a couple of dodgy turks doing a fucking roaring trade from the back of lwb van packed to the roof with cans and bottles!

good choice and thread um. gonna go a lot older me though, with a few in particular i remember from me youth/young man era. away at elland road mid 70s for a cup game against bolton, fourty odd thousand mixture of geordies, leeds and bolton, fucking electric atmosphere, cars abandoned on motorway hard shoulders, slip roads and absolute pandemonium round the ground. awesome experience as a teenager and we won! away to liverpool in the fa cup with keegan as a player, fucking hammering but still by far and away the greaetest example of why supporting this club felt so unique, deafening, unrelenting noise before, during and after the game. and, same year.... leeds road, huddersfield, promotion confirmed, 3 sides of the ground, fucking paralytic , the floodlight climber 'going up' happy, happy days!

cheers for that mate, ill have a proper watch of it on me lunchbreak. I'd pretty much decided that the above method was the route to take and that I'd press gang someone i know to do the wirey bits, I've got a healthy aversion to suddenly turning charred and crispy, have had since not taking a blind bit of notice what I was being taught for a couple of hours every tuesday afternoon at tech at the back end of the 70s. consequently I was happy to embrace the cross union squabbling over what fitters and electricians were allowed to touch of each others jobs..... ie nowt! @Monkeys Fist I reckon it's fucking heavy although I can strip down the guards and swarf container etc first. once I get it homeI've got a two and half ton pallet truck to move it about, it's getting something with the height to get it off a load loader I'm struggling with! @Dr Gloom what the fuck's a kale smoothie?! ps.... @PaddockLad how much should I be paying for one of them magic boxes? they seem to vary from £60 to £300?

so, to simplify..... the above machine generally makes lengths of round things (generally steel) smaller round, sometimes with angles and threads and stuff like that on it. it's fucking heavy and has got wires in which could make you go hot and stand your hair on end if they're not in their right places. it's the latter few bits I could probably do with some help with!

oh yeah, never thought of that. thought most people would just know and like me only be confused by the wirey bits inside!

got an opportunity to buy this at a fucking ludicrously cheap price, and i mean stupidly cheap! comes with a 3 and 4 jaw chuck and a collet chuck with collets up to 30mm, loads of soft jaws and tool holders and access to 'free' (cough!) carbide tips! here's the drawbacks, it runs on 3 phase so will need converting to a single phase motor or ran with an inverter instead plus my ability with electrical stuff doesn't progress much beyond light bulbs and plugs! i've got fuck all room for it in the garage unless i build a shed for 3 motorbikes and evict them, plus, although i could get it lifted on to the back of a mates lowloader by the fork lift driver at work, god only knows how i'll get the thing off again at the house! worked the machine many times and although it's in need of some attention on the bed to reduce the taper it produces when turning anything longer than 6 inches it's got massive potential and a fantastic project, even for use turning wood. we got any electricians on here who fancy doing some wiring stuff (and lifting!) in cheltenham? might be a pint in it for you!

I don't find you as annoying as everybody else does mate.

richard masters is a cunt. gary hoffman is a cunt. richard keys is a cunt. the fenway group are cunts. the glazers are cunts. joe lewis is a cunt. mike ashley is a cunt. steve bruce is a cunt. hatice cengiz is a cunt. the saudi's are ace.

you're just a pup, in the 60s we were located slightly south of lille.

go on, ill ask.... what did you convert from? as for harry, he changed his surname to thedog and started following millwall.

it's a damn shame the cunt doesn't get staggeringly drunk and then go out and play in it..

i'd stick to a double if i was you mate.

you'd like to think so alex. however if there's any truth in the rumour that bruce was 11th or 12th choice then it's fair to assume 10 or 11 managers said fuck that i'm not working for that fat cunt. i know for a certain fact i wouldn't.

shit about your job mate, hope you manage to find another, preferably before you sell your number plate. not really my thing although i did have a chuckle driving through london a few year back following a merc with the plate... HI 4 LSD probably due to in my youth (ish) being an avid fan of albert hoffmann's work.

being new to this forum all i've managed to conclude is rafa wasn't that person, although you did concede the other day that bruce wasn't your prefered choice either. so, who would you go for realistically that wasn't likely to burst out laughing when told of ashley/charnley's wish to woo them to our ambition less, soulless hell hole that's literally dying on its feet?

so don't you think it had anything at all to do with benitez having some self respect? you know... wanting to make his own decisions on which players were bought and sold to suit a system, fielding the players he wanted to, showing a modicum of ambition, upgrading the training facilities beyond those from the dark ages, not having it regarded as a negative that he engaged with the support, standing up to two absolute fucking know nowts with the footballing brains of a dead slug .... those sort of things? regardless of whether or not you're happy with bruce, you'd better get used to his ilk matey boy, because the fat lad won't be employing anybody like benitez again.

bruce is a morally bankrupt clueless fucking moron, matey. you're gonna have to come to terms with that.

when we wild camped at troutbeck mid august, the lakes were heaving, the car park nearly pooley bridge was mental, folk were literally parked half in hedges on the approach roads. ullswater and keswick weren't even worth attempting. mind you, your concerns were being mirrored in the south west, which was absolutely inundated with visitors. much to the anger of locals. cornwall has the lowest infection rate in the country.

i was in the brecons at the weekend, we wild camped in the van in a little secluded spot we stumbled on about 8 years ago. it was pretty much exactly how you would expect it to be on an autumn weekend pre covid. we saw the odd big group of middle aged blokes out together on their mountain bikes, dog walkers, ramblers and maybe a dozen or so people like ourselves holed up in their vans/motorhomes. we exchanged pleasantries with folk when our paths crossed and stopped and chatted for a minute or two occasionally. on the commercial side of things we saw several shepherds huts in fields with their stoves burning obviously occupied, there was barges moored up on the canal which runs through the village of talybont on usk, the farm campsite was open, as was the village shop which also includes a cafe. the little mountain bike hire shop was open and the two village centre pubs were doing steady business for the time of year. i'd imagine all were relativedly happy with their lot considering they'd been subjected to harsher lockdown restrictions by drakeford from march to july/august than the rest of the country. as far i'm aware powys has not one single covid related death now for more than seven weeks, this despite letting what folk (from wherever they come from) who want to visit the wide open spaces the brecons provide back in. if was a welsh business owner from the powys region who relied on the tourist trade for a living i would be beyond fucking livid with the power crazy little cunt. oh, and he also bears an uncanny resemblance of the verger from dads army, which isn't a good thing.

I think bruce's bit in the middle is gorged, distended and extremely unpleasant to look at. it's also likely to feature quite prominently in a coroners report.

I reckon bruce is now serving up the worst football of any manager in my time watching newcastle. bearing in mind he's had some pretty stiff competition from the likes of mcgarry, charlton, allardyce that's quite some achievement. not only that, he's managed in a relatively short space of time to at least draw level with if not even nudge ahead of the likes of dalglish, souness and pardew in the utterly dislikeable, horrible cunt stakes. remarkable, blisteringly fast progress on both counts. fuck off bruce, you fucking repulsive fat mess.

hat doffed.

do birds sing so gay?

top blokes... cheers lads! (well, maybe!)

holed up in the campervan deep in the brecon beacons (probably very much to the dismay of mark drakeford) with a surprisingly good signal. nufc.com's list of overseas tv channels don't feature on mobdro so if anybody has a link to a streaming channel that won't give me phone covid or any other virus it would be much appreciated. cheers gents!
