i'm sure KC will have something to say about that. :wink:


They must keep those dogs very, very hungry. Hope they gave it a rabies vaccination afterwards.


I couldn't really care less what happens to any jock, but what i 1st thought when i saw that picture was..... non of them look like doing any attacking to me. Looks more like the lad who ends up getting attacked by the dog is just trying to defend himself against the plod. I'd love to see the couple of minutes before that pic was taken to find out what really went on

Apparently, the victim of the dog-bite is an ex-con who had served 18 years for murder!

If so, it couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke! :mrgreen:

Coal mining in this country was probably the most dangerous, pointless and expensive waste of Government resources and labour since the Iraq war.

I'm not sure I'd call coal mining pointless - the Chinese don't think so, with their 50 coal-powered power stations opening a month (or whatever mind-boggling statistic it actually is). Something like 200 years worth of the stuff still under us, and better technology has made it much cheaper to extract.

Problem of mining was the leaders of the coal botherers - although they were right, of course.

Scargill. If the miners had elected someone who had a decent hairdo and wore a suit instead of a donkey jacket to formal dinners it might have been so different... It might also have been different without the Notts scabs, but that's another story.

Hail to Margaret Thatcher, she's my hero. Soon sorted out that poncy miners union who caused untold misery for thousands of miners over many years. At least the Nottingham miners had the good sense to realise that they didn't want to be political pawns in Arthur Scargills selfish egotistical power battle. Left wing nutters claimed that the cost of our deep mined coal was good value at £26/ton when the global price of coal was at a high of £2/ton. Agreements made by the Labour Government in the 60's ensured that the CEGB had to buy British coal at whatever the cost, it is no wonder efficiency in the coal industry matched the rest of the nationalised industries. Cancerous and rotten to the core, no way to run a country. Pity the poor miners who were conned by their union, conned by the Labour party and condemned to fight a so called battle they were always going to lose by left wing nutters who thought that the ideal role model for this country was the USSR.

Exile, I liked your comment about Scargills 'comb over' but you haven't got a clue when it comes to sartorial elegance, although donkey jackets are now considered passe, at the time it was a radical expressive statement amongst the left wing trendies at college. I thought you should know that. I prefered a trench or camel coat with a large 'I love Maggie' T shirt.

And their reward? There is ONE deep coal pit still open in Nottinghamshire (at Thorseby). Rest are gone, some long gone, others more recently.

Cully is stupid, I think you meant. No need to dress it up. He's the sort who went to fund raising discos for the Young Conservatives and sang along to The Specials, shouting 'Kill Nelson Mandela", as his strawberry daiquiri in a plastic glass sprayed across the room from his terrible dancing.
