The Retirement Thread

You are def a perv.

There is a web site that sells that sort of thing for real. Fans only or something like that. Bloody weird bunch of people they are. The people that sell things make quite a lot of money I understand. I wonder how much I would get for my bloomers. The bigger they are, the more I should get right?

I want to know how you know that exists!


Yep...there are some mighty strange topics on here and it’s hilarious watching the usual suspects getting their self righteous knickers in a twist......never mind, they can sell them then!

@12boy in my local area we average 32" per annum. To have 3" rain in day is not uncommon.

You may not know but Lancashire is famous for its history of cotton mills. The industry developed in the area partly because of the generally damp atmosphere but also the abundance of water sources to power the mills etc. Much of the raw cotton came from your country.

My own village is a mill village though ours was a paper mill.

You obviously have more knowledge than I do since you come from there. I always thought a lot of the cotton came from India until they got the idea that they could do their own spinning and weaving and thereby brought disaster to the Lancashire mills.

I am not sure if “chicken” or “very wise” is the most appropriate response.

Lol! Contrary to popular believe we don't have to turn up to every fight we are invited to attend, a wise person picks which battles they take part in.

The "Cotton Famine" didn't help either.

Oh Jesus have mercy on us

Someone mentioned they got more money if they used pictures of them being worn. Well...

Some cotton did come from India, but a lot of it came from the 'deep south' of the USA. The Union naval blockade of Confederate ports had severe effects this side of the Atlantic...

I used to do the annual 'Rossendale Mountain Bike Challenge' over many of our rugged local hills. One part of the route was over Rooley Moor Road , a cobbled path which struck me as being a very odd thing to head up over that hillside. I investigated and discovered the fascinating history of it...

Soft Cod roes.
Maybe an acquired taste, but I love them on toast with salt and vinegar.

God, do I need to look at that twice! I think you should receive a ban for that!

I've heard of Roe Deer, but you can keep that Roe, dear!

Very educational this forum. There are lots of things like that relatively unknown outside their local area all over the country. Construction projects done for charitable reasons seem fairly common.

Real cod roe is very good but never tried tinned. We got a gift of a large amount when I allowed free access to a workbench with a vice and grinder to a visiting fishing boat with some mechanical problem.
