I find German people the most like brits more than any other European country. Maybe a bit more direct & different variations of humour.

Of course I’m sure my mum used to keep it in the cupboard as well.

Will try next time 🤣 how British discussing brands of baked beans

I still buy it despite the price as I can’t find a good replacement

Tesco own beans do me. We stopped getting Heinz due to price but since swapping we realised how bad they are now

Paul McCartney, David gilmour, Liam Brady. I’ve had some good chats with Mr Brady over the years, being an arsenal fan it’s a big one to me! He even spotted me once and came over to chat about the Arsenal. Quite proud of that, the others were in passing basically.

Chocolate milk comes from brown cows. I was far to old to admit to the age when I realised.

Freezer!

I guess having a piece of wedding cake in ya fridge. 😀

I’m sorry you went through this. Reading what you wrote gave me shivers of bad memories. I hope you’re doing ok now. I found it hard to live a “normal“ life but I get stronger each year, find it hard to ever relax now as I don’t know what mood someone will be in.

It’s always nice to hear peoples stories like this. My maternal grandparents were a lot younger than my paternal so they didn’t have anything to do in ww2 apart from be babies, although my grandad does remember a German plane strafing east grinstead high street. My paternal grandparents was both in service, my Nan was in the women’s airforce, she used to log in and out the pilots on missions, which she said was very sad as many of them didn’t come back, she said never make friends with them is the best way. My grandad at the start of the war, was quite young I guess 18, and he was an engineer at first so was making stuff for the war effort & he was a military policeman, have no idea how they aligned, but a German plane bombed a local cinema which was full of young kids, he said most of the town turned up at the army recruiter the next day, he was a really strong swimmer (when my dad was a young child he used to hold onto my grandads back and they would swim around the palace pier) he joined the army & was recruited into the SBS he spent most of his time in Burma, I don’t really know much of what he did there only what others told me after he passed away, but I was told his job was to ambush the Japanese, we did have a load of Japanese money as kids which some was burnt which made for a good item to play with 😅. When he was unwell he did have nightmares about being in Burma, I was told when he was in the fire brigade he also had them as he would crawl along the floor and hide under the beds thinking he was still in the jungle, poor bloke, they never thought about ptsd back then I guess. He also told my dad that during the night you couldn’t see or hear anything apart from the insects/wildlife, like you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face, but when the Japanese would try ambush them, they would try swim across the rivers or whatever, that were full of crocodiles, so you could hear the screams of the soldiers being eaten. He didn’t get home to England until 1946, nobody’s sure why on that part, but his family presumed him dead until he turned up on their doorstep. Even a few years ago someone on ancestry thought our surname had been wiped out in ww2 and they was surprised that I am a living relative of their elderly mother (grandads half sister) Wow that’s brought a tea to my eye thinking about and typing that. Anyway he died at 74, he used to say to me when I was upset that he was lucky to have come home and watch his grandkids grow up..

She made it to 95, her generation went through a lot, I didn’t feel sad like I did losing my grandad, because all being perfect she would have gone a few years earlier, of course I missed her and I loved her very much but her last years were not good for her. Her dad died at 27 after being mustard gassed in ww1, survived for a few years after the end of the war then it got him, I can’t imagine the last few years of his life was good with lungs like that. I always feel like that generation were reflective of things like that or mine were.

To be fair when my nan was getting water infections I think it was called she was tripping out pretty good anyway. She used to feed a black cat that lived behind her television(there was no cat), she thought i was my grandad a few times as well even though he died 20 years prior, that was pretty tough to deal with in a lot of ways.

No but I’m game.

Yes that’s why I thought it’s just the lsd one needs to procure 😄

One does not rule an empire on lsd.

Sure is but I’d be happy with the prescription version. I’m looking forward to being old now.

My thoughts were your prob going to be on loads of painkillers and or sedatives anyway just to keep ya quiet so might as well hit the lsd for a bit of fun on top. But yeah if they don’t have me on the good shiz might as well snort some speedballs 😂😂

I’ve decided that along with smuggling in loads of lsd or similar and spending my days tripping out or becoming a master on civ 😂

£15 down south, silly money not paying £60 for takeaway fish n chips for the family lol. Not when you could get a fair good amount of Chinese for that!

😂😂🥶

The government turn the workers against one another, why should a train driver earn so much when you only make 25k a year? Why should train drivers earn so much that your tickets are £30 to go 10miles? In reality it’s bullshit to create working class people to turn on one another rather than waking up and seeing the top creaming all the money.

He laid a fine patio.

If you’re going through the effort of cwe I’m guessing it’s not ya first rodeo & you prob know someone who knows someone that might know somebody, unless that’s just down here but they be cheap and plentiful & seriously addictive so I don’t recommend. Actually if you going through the effort of cwe you probably don’t know anyone 😂 ignore my slow thinking brain, Don’t get addicted to opiates people, it gives you a slow brain.

Just buy some dhc?

I couldn’t go back to them now after the cheap Korean noodles, I mean there 50p a pack at Asda or a bit more, they cook in 3 mins and taste really good. If I’m feeling fancy I get the good make ones for like £2

Did that with vodka, drank a litre of blue Smirnoff 50% over a day, woke up with bad back pain and the taste of death. Took me years to get over & still now I’ll try avoid it.

Haha you got a good hate on them. Last time I had that with food was in about 1987 when I ate some ham that I was then sick that evening & I didn’t touch it again for 20 years lol.

Depends I used to do building work & working without even bad food in your belly doesn’t feel good.

I only used to have them as a last resort at work. They never fully cook properly, there’s always a crunchy pea or noodle to be found 😂

Korean noodles 50p a pack & really good unlike the pot noodle shit I grew up with

Yes indeed thank you auto correct 😬

Sounds like a owner buying a football team and a few years down the line going bust to me

I just find it odd that a company like Asda who for 30 years seemed to be fine get taken over then put in this situation 🤷‍♂️

I’m no financial expert but it really feels like some companies go into dept so they don’t have to pay tax. Something very odd with Asda as well since new owners, I heard they selling property and renting it back etc. why would any company consider this a good idea unless to swerve taxes

Big pack of condoms.

My wife put a fiver under my sons pillow & I was absolutely disgusted with her, Now it’s really funny when they lose a tooth 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Big cow has been quashing all the beef

My wife wants to get pregnant

I can easy go hours and hours without using the toilet but once I’m worried I can’t use the toilet I need to use the toilet.

I’m not religious, but I don’t mind some Christian teachings. We used to have morning hymns n all that.

Yes! I got them as well, they’re good!

I’m 41 now, my nhs dentist retired last summer, had 1 filling & a wisdom tooth removal in my first 40 years of dentistry. Went to the replaced nhs dentist with the new private one at £85 a check up, she looks at my 3 year old X-ray and tells me I have the start of gum disease, which if I don’t come every 3 months & visit hygienist £89 a session every 3 months my teeth will basically fall out, also I need a few teeth removing at £179 a go… I left the dentist absolutely gutted and depressed, then I started thinking hang on a minute this x Ray was 3 years old, why didn’t my nhs dentist of 15 years who’s always been fantastic mention that I have gum disease from this x Ray or that my tooth which has never hurt me needs removing… I went home, brought an electric toothbrush & decent mouth wash, called up and cancelled my new dentist forever. So in a few years my teeth will have either fallen out or I will have saved lots of money or both, what I do know is I can’t afford private dental care, so I have to make sure I do everything I can to ensure my teeth are as good as I can.

Go on holiday, everyone understands your nan would want this.

Yes we do that! Works really well.

My friends dad used to constantly wind me up so I caught a frog and put it in his van. Thinking back it was pretty dangerous if it had jumped and scared him 🤷‍♂️

I had one as well lol

The class thing is the only way I can describe the difference in her reaction to how I or my family/friends would react. For instance the bag man was lucky it wasn’t my dad as he would have thrown it on the floor or sat on top of it. Although that’s not the correct way to go about it nor do I agree with doing that the fact someone expects to keep their bag on a seat while people are standing is a really ignorant rude way to act. Whereas my wife’s family would probably just stand the whole way with a stiff upper lip then complain about it over a hot chocolate later.

Yeah, she said she didn’t like confrontation & the fact she had to sit next to the man after that or something. We are from different backgrounds im a working class man and she a middle class private school girl. That is the difference I guess. 😆
