Optie will cream his jeans because it is petrol.
Lord Opti doesn't wear jeans. At his age, he prefers brown polyester trousers with an elasticated waist

A couple of years back, their famous Bender in a Bun got renamed Mr Bendy. Clearly that is too much for middle class Oxfordian types with nothing better to do, and has now called Pork Bendy.
For years I thought Wimpy had gone completely, since we lost the one in your old homeland formerly known as Cadena Cafe. It was years later that I realised that they still existed.
How the hell can a Pork Bender be more acceptable than a Mr Bendy.

Our bins were square, made of galvanised steel and fitted, by two lugs either side, into a metal frame in our back yard wall. The binmen would have to carry them the full length of the back alley (jigger), tip them and bring them back.
But they were the same binmen for years, and they used to get a small Christmas gift off everyone.

The heat must be really getting to me.
All this fuss about a few warm days, it really is getting ridiculous health warnings , keeping hydrated, surely most of us on here have been around long enough to cope with it , one or two of us may have even ventured abroad for some extra sunshine....😂

No damage or evidence and tampering on my car, so can only assume that it was less interesting than whatever was parked next to it
Someone had a shitty end to their holiday

« on: 24 June 2025, 22:16:44 »I think Albs meant the bit about the sheep, RaeThankyou😎 I really can’t see any way these people can ever fit into a peaceful world 💁🏿♂️Yeah goats, I’d rather eat them than shag them👍 although with sheep its the other way round. the world would be far better off with Iran and its inhabitants transformed into sheet of glass. Just keep the few nice people who live there alive. I’m sure they would rejoice in the crooked cruel prehistoric regime getting annihilated.
Very honest post Ray.

« on: 24 June 2025, 15:07:52 »Well.....wouldn't you if you had all those virgins waiting for you in heaven.Good point.
The US asked China to ask Iran not to disrupt the Straits. No doubt Russia are hoping they do disrupt so they benefit from the price increase.
As an aside haven’t Israel had the nuclear capability for maybe 60 years. It seems a bit rich expecting Iran not to. Israel hasn’t exactly covered itself with clean tactics over Gaza. One man’s freedom fighter is someone else’s terrorist and all that.
On Trump.Seems strange he can’t influence Putin ( maybe that though was all about getting the Europe element of NATO to spend more and shoulder Ukraine) but he can do a bit of bombing when Netinyahoo whispers “ jump” in his ear.
No one should think that allowing Iran to tool up with nuclear weapons is a good idea, whether a neighbour has them or not.
The idea of a nuclear armed Iran is terrifying, as the mad mullahs are probably mad enough to use one.

Trump has been diplomatic as ever. He says "They don't know what the 'A bit of how's yer father' they're doing"

It would appear my post was somewhat optimistic
If the fighting continues after what Trump has done to end it, he should cut Israel loose and let them get on with it. He's done his bit by trying to disable Iran's nuclear threat.
