Don't talk to me about vets. Just lost my dear Oscar (Springer) to Leukaemia - £3500 in 2 weeks, and there wasn't even surgery involved.

How do they get away with it???

Condolences on both counts Delbert ... and they can because they do.

At least you have a car, when we were kids, we used to dream of a car with an alternator, .....Even having an exhaust that the end could drop off of!
We used to have a cardboard box with wheels drawn on the sides and doors cut out of the side...yep we 'ad it tough!

Bloody luxury......

[Alegazmoz]

Bloody luxury......

.. yeah!

If I'd 'ave cut holes in, or drawn on me bed-room walls .....
..... I'd 'ave really been in for it.
Even now, every time I close my eyes I still see Pickfords.

Upsetting for the residents, but burned longerer if they were at home ......

When i say cardboard box, it wasn't so much a box, more just a lid....wiv pretend sides
We used to have good imaginations...even if we wanted wheels we wouldn't have had a pen to draw with...but we never complained!.....

Hope for Wind...Pray for wind..otherwise it could be a bit easy and we can't have that now can we!..

(Just off to warm up some gravel for din dins)

Gravel. gravel?? ..!!!


You think you were hard up? We lived under a copy of the Bristol Evening Post, and it was a treat when we were allowed to lick the wet Tarmac outside the local chippie...

See ya'all Sunday.

<In a northern accent> What a bunch of lucky, lucky, lucky swines you lot are. In my day, we had to walk for miles just to stand outside a school and watch the lucky kids go in and learn.

Cardboard? What we would have given for cardboard (not that we had anything to give. Even our kidneys are made out of compacted fag ash (found on the pavements) because we traded our real kidneys for coal dust to burn to keep warm (we had to rub the coal dust particles together to create heat as we didn't have any sticks to rub together)).

I'm so hard up I have to work for a living just so I can afford to work to earn money to pay taxes. Now that's poor.



See y'all tomorrow.

[blackscale]

fag Ash?....you were lucky, what we wouldn't have given for some fag ash, to make a kidney!!
We were so poor we moved to buxted........

Hobbits 'R' us...Yeah!...lost for words now in'cha..

Back to the shooting, this must be the longest non shooting thread in the shooting section EVER!
