  1. Timothy Mc Veigh Oklahoma Bombing is the most (in)famous ANFO, April 1995 but the Rah (IRA) ANFO Bomb in Manchester a year later redeveloped my home city, blew the shit out of the city centre and forced the council to redevelop, it's still a shit hole mind you. An acquaintance of mine, I won't call him a friend, Stephen Leather of "Private Dancer" fame wrote a book called "The Bomb Maker" which was made into a movie back in 2011 all about the Rah and an ANFO Bomb. As for 'merica I am officially persona non gracia state side, no great loss to me, no skin off my nose, but it gets interesting at work "M you need to go to meeting in States" err sorry no can do I am blacklisted from USA, little old me banned form North America
  2. Calcium Hypochlorite (Swimming Pool Chlorine) and Polyethylene Glycol (Brake Fluid) also goes off with a bang. Best one though is Ammonia Nitrate (Fertiliser) and Diesel (Fuel Oil) often referred to as an ANFO or Fertiliser Bomb, 94.3% NA 5.7% Diesel Holy shit I best shut up in case NSA is monitoring me
  3. Edinburgh man Wullie McTavish is on his deathbed, knows the end is near, is with the nurse, his wife, his daughter and 2 sons. "So", he says to them: "Bernie, I want you to take the Braid Hills houses." "Sybil, take the flats over in Morningside and Bruntsfield." "Tam, I want you to take the offices in Charlotte Square." "Sarah, my dear wife, please take all the residential buildings in the New Town." The nurse is just blown away by all this, and as Wullie slips away, she says, "Mrs. McTavish, your husband must have been such a hard working man to have accumulated all this property". Sarah replies, "Property? ... the bugger has a paper round!"
  4. Sayjaan, Please don't mention Messi and Ronaldo in the same breath as the Black Panther, the finest player I have had the privilege to see playing live, and yes I have seen Ronaldo and Messi in the flesh as well but not a patch on Eusebio. 1968, dying seconds of the European Cup final 1-1 and he was one on one against Alex Stepney, Stepney pulled off a great save and Eusebio just stood there and applauded him, everyone remembers the Banks / Pele save Mexico '70, this one was even better. Today every second of the game is recorded from multiple angles and replayed n times, back in his day lucky to have a 10 second clip on Pathe News, he was fast, could do 100 meters in under 11 seconds which back in the late 60's was podium time for Olympics. I am often asked my opinion "Who was / is the best ever" and I can only go on players I have seen live, so Maradona and Pele are out of the equation only ever seen them on TV, but in the flesh Eusebio is head and shoulders above Messi, Ronaldo, Best etc. RIP Black Panther, another part of my youth has passed away.

  6. Many Board Members have accused me of being such so my current theme tune Enjoy
  7. For anyone who has tried to obtain a visa for Thai wife to UK this may ring true
  8. Back in my dark and distant past during my drinking days I used to hang out / get wasted with Shane MacGowan in Pattaya, happy days, this song is his hazed memories of those days. Oh to be young again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HDttrKlLFc
  9. Best Christmas song of all time, The name "The Pogues" is derived from the Gaelic Pog Mo Thoin, which in English means Kiss My Arse, a fact I am sure Fiery Jack will find interesting.
  10. Mikhail Kalashnikov http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2528447/Kalashnikov-dies-94.html
  11. A young Catholic girl went to confession and said to the priest, "I'm pregnant." He asked, "How did this happen, my child?" She said, "I think it must have been the second coming." The priest, shocked by this reply, asked, "What makes you think this has anything to do with the Second Coming?" She replied, "Because I swallowed the first one!!"
  12. Start with a cage containing five monkeys. Inside the cage, hang a banana on a string and place a set of stairs under it. Before long, a monkey will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana. As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all of the other monkeys with cold water. After a while, another monkey makes an attempt with the same result - all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon, when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it. Now, put away the cold water. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and wants to climb the stairs. To his surprise and horror, all of the other monkeys attack him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs, he will be assaulted. Next, remove another of the original five monkeys and replace it with a new one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm! Likewise, replace a third original monkey with a new one, then a fourth, then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs, he is attacked. Most of the monkeys that are beating him have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs or why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey. After replacing all the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, no monkey ever again approaches the stairs to try for the banana. Why not? Because as far as they know that's the way it's always been done around here. And that, my friends, is how company policy begins.
  13. And we took Ya, It has taken a few weeks for the boyz to play under Moyes and this was the test and they did it. Typical United Start of slow but get there when it matters
  14. Scary but this is 40 years old now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoJ7xQd8mTc
  15. Sundays game will be the "Line is the Sand" if United scrape a 1-0 win I will be happy. Yes, I have been raving about Adnan Januzaj for a few months now, this guy is brilliant and him signing up for 5 years was better than any new signing. I saw the kid in the U21 team last season and he stood out, I even topk my father who is now 80 years old and still tell me that Duncan Edwards is the best player he has ever seen in his life but now he thinks Januzji is better, if my old man thinks it good enough for me.
  16. In homage to Guy Fawkes who on this day back in 1605 tried to bring down the British government by sticking a few kegs of gunpowder under the houses of parliament and tried to blow them all up,
