It took me ages to find a picture of my kitchen in my Imgur folder. This one nearly brings us back on topic as it is parked up near a Roman observation tower on Hadrian's wall.  |

Hot dog van indeed. I'm wounded Red. I may never recover from that slight. In fact I might get in touch with my lawyer about a defamation suit in the morning.  |

That's an old one. I stopped serving veggie food only a long time ago. I've been looking for reviews from Ireland but the one I just read was from one of the top Yank jugglers and he was very serious about the juggling and the show but didn't even mention food. I'll have a look at what it says on the BJC wiki page. Pretty sure I get a mention there. I speak the truth though. Any juggler who has been to a few BJCs over the last 20 years will know who I am and how good the food is. I don't disbelieve you. Hey there's nothing wrong with a veggie hot dog van.  Bloody hell it's 4 am Red. I'd better go to bed soon or I won't wake up in time for the Archers omnibus. |

...unless you are the British Empire I think you should rephrase that. If you were the British Empire. Believe it or not. I served in the forces, when they were needed. Still in the days when the sun never set on the British empire. I am looking across the Forth estuary, minus the sun.. And not a Royal Navy warship in sight. The only ones I ever see are NATO. Meanwhile Mr Rackham was in the era, when the military fed them not needed them. But there you go. A sapper kidding on he is a real soldier. You could not make it up. I think when he was training for clearing bobby traps. As I recall. Push, Pull and pressure. One bounced of his head. I am sure the long suffering Mrs R will confirm that. |

No need to be rude about the Royal Engineers. Someone has to dig the latrines. It's a valuable service they provide. I come from a line of REME myself. Like engineers but they can read. Thank you for your service.  |

I think Scousers are probably the biggest thieves I ever came across. In many ways they were like pikeys, you had to constantly watch them or something would go missing. Having said that I did have one good Scouse mate, knew him for years. He lives in Bulgaria now, pikey HQ, lol. The Scotch people don't have anything left worth nicking so they don't seem to mind taking them off our hands. The most valuable thing they ever had was some old stone that used to sit under Her Majesty's throne and nobody else wants that. We only kept hold off it for so long to wind them up. Worked a treat too for about 700 years. Oh they have plenty worth nicking. Scotish energy for one thing. But I have to admit. I find it odd the Stone of destiny was returned to Scotland. To me it should have remained in Westminster Abbey. It was stolen by Edward the 1st. That is history and the proceeds of war. Which in his case was murdering defenceless woman and children. A sort of IRA hero of his day. He died in Carlisle on his way to commit more acts of terrorism. The terrorist acts stopped when his stupid son was gubbed by Bruce. The stone will now have to be returned to sit under the arse of Charles. By the way it was re-stolen if that is a word by Ian Hamilton, who broke into Westminster Abbey in London with fellow University of Glasgow students on Christmas Day in 1950 to take back the Stone of Destiny, the rock upon which Scottish monarchs had been crowned for centuries until England seized it in 1296. So maybe it should remain in Scotland. Mr Hamilton died in October. Now millions of Scottish tax payers money is wasted on a coronation. Would it not be cheaper to stick a tree under the arse of Charles, which he is know to talk to. Hell. He might even get a decent answer, and understand how energy rich Scotland is on track for net zero. He could even get the bus up and sit on the stone here. That to would save millions. I think Mr Hamilton should have been made a peer. www.nytimes.com/2022/10/22/world/europe/ian-hamilton-dead.html#:~:text=Ian%20Hamilton%2C%20who%20broke%20into,in%201296%2C%20died%20on%20Oct. |

But Iceland and of course Japan during this tournament. I hope I do not have to switch of the commentary. It has been good so far. |

I bet that block Chaz 1 briefly rested his neck on was oak too. |

I don't think Red can't read, I just think he's like my old ZX Spectrum computer, you have to punch the information into him several times before it goes in. A fine chap in my estime, just wrong about everything. |

His wife must be an absolute angel then 'cos we were up till 5 am talking shit last night. He's a very lucky man indeed. Not because I like a good gossip too, because his wife is so understanding. |

The "an lia fail" or stone of destiny as you english call it is a very interesting story if you actually look into its history.
If you read the ancient description of it , it was supposed to be a black stone carved in ancient celtic hieroglyphics ( ogham?) that the celtic kings of scotland were crowned upon. From memory it was supposed to have been brought by the wandering celts from scythia or somewhere in the middle east , across north africa up through spain to these islands. So the stone should not be native stone to these islands.
The stone edward the first took was a scottish red sandstone block. 
The story goes the guardian priest knew the english regiments were coming so hid the real an lia fail , and the english took a red sandstone block that was covering the local cesspit.
We know at least one more time many months later the english regiments came back to have another root around , and went away empty handed. So they must have had thir suspicions.
I still laugh today to think english and then later british monarchs have been getting crowned for the last 700 years on a fuckin lavvie lid.

If you are interested in how the Kings and Queens and comic singers became the Kings and queens. You may find this film interesting in shagging relationship.. . www.imdb.com/title/tt2328900/ There are big gaps in my knowledge of Kings and Queens. Edward I is a big favourite but all the Tudor machinations are a bit vague in my mind. I believe Mary QoS was temporarily ensconced at nearby Framlingham castle (made famous more recently by Ed Sheeran's Castle on the Hill song). Unless I'm mixing up my Marys or thinking of Matilda who spent a little time there during her troubles. Luckily I have a 12'' rule from an English Heritage gift shop with ''Rulers of England'' on the B side with all the names and dates from Edward the Confessor to our dear lately departed monarch. I bought it for the pun but it has come in very handy. |
