Check your you tube inbox again.
Sat here enjoing a bottle of Thatchers Old Rascal and very nice it is too.Tried the Gold earlier but bottled out(sorry)of trying the Katy as its 7.5% and I'd've had to beat the wife again after drinking that but I always come of second best so it's not worth it in the long run.
We've had rats under our place again.Found a young 'un in one of the traps this afternoon.
Last time we had one it kept us awake all night kicking at the plywood skirt of our mobile home cos it got knocked senseless by the trap.I had to get up at 7.30 easter sunday morning to get rid of it and ended up bludgeoning it to death with a claw hammer.Bastard things.

My Missus chats like 'aat. A'reeeiiitt. She's from south Bristol and chats at a hundred mile an hour aswell so for the first few years,there was a lot that got said but not a lot understood.

Heyyyy ratfans!!!!! not you though obviously ,bit of a mare then mate. My mate had the same problem going back a while,he lives in a coach built library bus and one chewed his way up through his gear box and into the night heater trunking so he sealed the fecker in there until it died.
I wouldn't recommend doing that though as the smell was horrendous as he actually left it there because he was 'scared' of it. He is one of my best mates and he is a complete stoner who finds the simple things in life really hard...
I paid him a visit about two weeks later and disposed of it for him and made him pour a bottle of La Coste aftershave (about £30) to mask the smell. Didn't make a lot of difference to be honest but it did make me laugh

I'm really fussy when it comes to my zyder,hence my name. Thatchers Gold is far too sweet for me,not sure about Old Rascal.
I was drinking Katy (and lots of it) One year ago to the day at Wembley. Thing was i still couldn't get pissed though,i just felt numb. I was 3/4 pissed during the game and drank a shedload of it after but it couldn't hit the spot. Just as well really,not a pretty site seeing a fully grown man sobbing i suppose.

In a bit mate
Natch

Forgot to ask,whats up with your ?

Have a look at your youtube account

Afternoon Natch
Cats fine but useless at catching rats,he just alerts me to their presence.
If indeed thats what you were inquiring about
If it was my pussy(well not mine exactly) you were asking over she's up on blocks this week
cos Bristol City are playing at home
Also a good afternoon as the Barcodes got relegated so a weekender for you next season if you're going to St James'Park.

Pub

Evening Natch
We weren't very good for 80 minutes
Ho Hum
Still Eh

Afternoon Natch
Think I might change my mind about 606 after seeing all the drivel on there today.
Yes we lost yesterday and I expected everyone to have a good laugh at our expense but it's all got a bit tiresome now.

Afternoon Vim

Can't say i blame you under the circumstances mate

My laptop is playing silly buggers again so i may or may not be about

Can't beleive the amount of vitriol directed at your board at the moment.

I ALWAYS support English clubs in Europe etc,and i watched the game with my brother and we were unashamedly Man Utd fans for the night.

Seems there were plenty who weren't though...tossers

Evening Natch
Could believe it myself.Mind you I could understand it from the Geordies as they got a load from United fans on Monday
I find it funny to see fans crying cos they've lost or been relegated
I can understand why but I follow the great Sir Bobby Charlton's tenet
Cry when you win not when you lose.I've gottten all emotional when we've won trophies in the past but you'll never see me cry when we lose.I might sulk for a bit(some would say thats worse)and get a touch angry and swear a lot but thats about it.
Last time I did that was when Arsenal beat us in the cup final of '79 when we played crap,got ourselves back on terms then lost it again with about a minute to go.Bloody Alan Sunderland,can't stand tight curly perms and moustaches cos of him and I always fancied one up until thenNot really I always leaned towards the long haired end of the haircut spectrum

Morning Natch
Going on from my haircut comments,not got long hair now.Old blokes with long hair look a bit sad(unless you're Robert Plant,who would look very odd with a shaved head)I favour a spiky cut now.
My missus would like me to grow it long again and sometimes agree with her but when it gets to a certain length it starts to get on my tits and it has to come off again.

God,I can't believe I've started talking about personal grooming!
It's been a difficult couple of days for me

I'm avoiding 606 completely at the moment cos it's starting to p1ss me off.And thats our own support.Calling for Fergie's head and moaning on cos we lost one game after one of our most successful seasons.Twats.
Problem is most of them only know the premiership years and don't remember all those seasons when we won bugger all.We went three seasons without winning the league and in that time only one season finished potless.I can remember all I had to celebrate was the odd cup final victory.They've turned into a bunch of spoilt bastards.
And therein lies the problem.

Hope you manage to sort out you computer
Have you tried switching it off and on again

Afternoon Natch
Just heard that Alan Shearer has been voted worst caretaker since
Ian Huntley

Natch have a look at the United board at a thread titled "bullying on the United Boards"
Apparently posted by the 606 management team.
See you got your computer going BTW

Afternoon Vim

Alan Shearer

Yeah my computers running but not without problems,same old off/on malarkey. Think i'm gonna have to take the plunge with a new one
The thing is i've not got a lot of work and me and me uncle have fell out over the decking job and now he's fecked off on a cruise with all my tools in his shed . And check this out there is a lock on his side gate but not on the shed itself,so if they are gone he owes me about a grand in my book...families eh

Natch

Oh yeah,i looked at the bullying thread and there were a few interesting points on it. I travel around all of the boards and there seem to be people bailing out all over the place because they've had enough of the madness. Lets hope they sort it out properly. Still can't blame you for staying away it's sh*te at the moment.

Afternoon Natch
There was a quality posting on United's board today
"Five famous people you've met"
The first time for a while that I had a hankering to get on there again and it's still on there.Amazed it's not been pulled.
Anyway my top five would be:-
1 Sting outside the Marquee club

2 Glen Matlock(Sex Pistols)had a drink with him in a pub in Aylesbury

3 Thom Yorke(Radiohead)He came in for some picture rail one saturday morning and seemed a bit of a miserable bastard which was a shame cos I really like them.

4 David Jason.He used to come into Jewsons in Aylesbury when I worked there.We had this big Scouser called Ken working for us who would these days be known as special needs.Anyway I was walking through the warehouse and Ken had collared Mr Jason and was talking to him about acting and I swear this is true, I overheard Ken say "What's that acting thing were you don't talk called"
David replied"Err Mime"
Ken says "Yer Mime you'd be dead good at that"
DJ just looked bemused but Ken wasn't taking the piss.

5 Jimmy Saville.Though I didn't actually meet him he phoned the Co-op
Where I used to work on the scrounge for a Vaccuum cleaner for Stoke Mandeville Hospital.He got all funny cos I didn't start fawning and he had to ask if I knew who he was.I said I knew who he was but wouldn't do anything for him unless he said "Now then now then young gentleman sir" and he did it!!! I couldn't stop laughing and had to get my boss to take over.

Also sold Noel Edmonds Wife a tumble drier and had a piss stood next to Steve Mclaren in the bogs in the directors bar at the old Manor Ground in Oxford.He was on his mobile and pissing at the same time.
Just a shame he didn't have similar skills when managing England

Fairplay,sounds like a good thread might wack one on our board to releive the boredom.

Here's mine

1/ Huggy Bear. Cant remember his real name at the moment. My mate was working at The Bunch of Grapes pub which is right on the back of The Hippodrome Theatre,an i used to go down there for free beer and Huggy came in an we were chatting for about 2hrs with him,for a large chunk of it we were chatting about City and Football as my mate is a diehard aswell. I think he appreciated it as me and my mate never mentioned Starskey and Hutch once.


2/ Derren Brown. Met him outside the Hippodrome after watching his show and sitting in the Bunchs' window waiting for the crowd to disperse before we could get near him. He had had enough by this point but fairplay to him he waited for me to work out how to use the flash on my new phone,and i took a great pic of him and the missus. The funny thing was she's always fancied him and was starstruck as anything and couldn't get her words out Even funnier when he came out of the closet later that year


3/ Alan Dicks. The man that took BCFC to division 1. I was working for a building firm an got my job sheet in the morning with the name Dicks on it. I thought straightaway no chance,and paid it no more thought. When he answered the door it was my turn to be starstruck! Made a bit of a nob of myself to be honest...oh well


4/ Richard Madeley. Working at Golders Green about 10 years ago. Now this was not long after his own shop lifting scandal at Tescos.Anyway after work we went to waitrose and went up to the queue and noticed him straightaway,stood at the till looking back down the queue full of his own self importance,he had a couple of bottles of spirits and a case of coke. My mate took one look at him and said "You gonna pay for that this time?" an he just threw his hands up in disgust. I was giggling like a schoolkid as it had been a hard day an i was a bit stoned


5/ Can't think of number 5 at the moment so i'll have to get back to you on that one...Missed David Jason by 5 minutes in my local once as they filmed Only Fools in Bristol. Gutted
