I've seen several Fridays that have been very black Paul, they usually occur around lambing time... Seriously though, I know exactly what you mean, I'm in no way politically minded or racist but I just sometimes feel we have become a soft touch and are afraid to stand by our traditions and values because it will possibly offend someone. Look at the case of the academic from Durham university imprisoned in Dubai on the accusation of spying, if you go to other countries you rightfully have to abide by their laws, beliefs and traditions and if you don't then you are subject to punishment by their legal system. Another example is the radical Muslim preacher chowdry ( probably spelt that wrong!) who spent years denouncing the west whilst living in and being kept by this country. As I say, to me we seem to have become too afraid to stand by our beliefs for fear of upsetting someone. And speaking of black Friday, just when is it going to get light this morning, I won't be able to find any sheep out there , black or otherwise 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluegreen Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I watched a video last year where a Volcano expert stated that one really large erupting Volcano puts more carbon into the air than the entire history of automobile usage combined!!!!!!! I thought what is the point of worrying about our footprints when one good Krakotoa event could put the tin hat on everything. This carbon business is just another way the 1% can yield leverage over the rest of us and introduce another raft of unjust taxes. And as for coloured sheep its just another attempt by the looney left to force their agenda of promoting the minority view over and above the opinions of the sane majority. Ignore them. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how many volcano's worth of carbon each day is put out by Aircraft, Vegans and politicians and never seen a problem with ethnic minority coloured sheep in a nursery rhyme 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Yodel/Fastway. Parcel arrived at local depot on the 7th. Recorded as damaged on the 12th. To be returned to sender. Recorded as damaged on the 15th. To be returned to sender. Meanwhile, on the PostNL tracking system it is recorded as nobody home on the 12th and nobody home on the 15th. Parcel still hasn't arrived back at the sender, and can't be found in the system. Grrrrrr. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mb86 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I saw it shoot out of the verge just in front of me and expected a muted thud as he went under but the bugger must have tried to fly and came up over the bonnet. It's only glass yes and could have been worse if I'd been going fast, although one of the defenders safety features is it can't go fast. Least he learned his lesson and won't do it again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
