Should we all shut up about Hitler then?

Certainly can't really imagine ever regularly paying to watch it any more. Me neither. Was a season ticket holder at Upton Park, just can't stand the new place, been five times and have vowed never to go again. Everything about it just isn't the West Ham I know and love. I'll still watch them on th...

If a feral cat and a grizzly bear were the same size, who would win in a fight? Cat, no question.

Thoughts on this GCRO or anyone else? https://groceries.aldi.co.uk/en-GB/p-rheinbacher-premium-pilsner-4x500ml/4088600241319 Quite nice I think. Terrible stuff mate.

****'s sake. What a horrible ****. Not only raped but bashed the woman too. Scumbag.

When I was a kid (late 50s-early 60s) I spent every summer with my grandparents in Southsea (Hyde Pk Rd,near the Guildhall). It was all terraces ,but everywhere there were gaps from bomb damage[the whole area was cleared late 60s]. Pompey got heavily bombed, cos of the Naval dockyard,where my Grand...

Aaaaannnd we have another one. This vile specimen once nominated for officer of the year, sent female colleagues explicit pictures and messages for 12 years.

Musicman do make some quality equipment and I've had several Stingray basses but just couldn't get on with them (specifically their single pickup rather then a dual, or neck pickup setup.
