If you wore pants for a change you could keep it in your pocket.

Look, I'm 67, sometimes I forget to put them on. It happens.

I'm now getting emails saying I've got a pm in my inbox, but when I log in, there's nothing there. What's that all about.
Is it a conspiracy? I demand answers.

Morning, Mr. Bonce. I notced that on another thread you described Lineker and Shearer as "dull as ditch water".  I've always used the term "dull as dishwater". Are both in common usage or am I just plain wrong?! 

 (Silly aside:-Boris talked about "lying dead in a d....h" No ambguity there....his tubby torso wouldn't fit in a dish.....)

Morning mate. Just had a quick google, and 'ditchwater' has been in use since the 1700's. I've used dishwater myself in the past though.
I always used the word 'settee' as a kid, but for some reason, unknown to me, since the 70's I've been using 'sofa'.
Words and phrases seem to come and go. I've always been puzzled by, 'well, I'll go to the foot of our stairs'.

What about "by and large"?....makes no sense at all....

Ever heard the phrase, 'go and run a duck up Daubhill'?  Or are you too young, Boncey?

I'm pretty old. I can vaguely remember the Majestic Cinema, but I can't remember hearing that phrase.

Tha's nobbut a lad, Boncey, but the phrase was in schoolboy usage in Bolton in the 50's. Basically it meant 'get lost'.
Daubhill was pronounced Dobble. There were two cinemas 'up Dobble', the Majestic on St Helens Road and further up on Derby Street, the Tivoli, pronounced Tiv-olly.

We lived in Georgina street. I think Wessy lived close by too. We moved to Farnworth when I was five.

Remember this?

My mate was a good roller skater and we went on Saturday mornings I seem to remember. I'll never forget him showing off to the girls in a race that he was winning by miles skating backwards and crashing and burning spectacularly. Cock.

I remember watching "Zulu" at the Queens at the bottom of Trinity St and coming out itching all over. It really was a fleapit.

The last time I went to the pictures was to watch Star Trek: The Wrath Of Khan, in Walkden.

They say a picture says a thousand words...



This was taken in Newcastle this evening.

Heck!  I can be really disciplined with chocolate,  but give me a box of Liqourice 

Allsorts and I'm like a greedy dog.

Bob finally confronts Dale Vince.

Who is the girl in your avatar?

She is a big improvement on Just William.

That's not me. It could be Giffo from Stroud though.

Unfortunately I live in the same town as the douchebag and therefore sadly I bump into the little weasel from time to time. Perhaps you should remove your head from Dale's backside, have a bacon sandwich and calm down combemarsh


boltonbonce? combemarsh?
Ever seen them in the same room together?

Bob's writing in big letters. I don't like that sort of thing.

Tricia Helfer. Nice.

Lose a lot on betting on things you know nowt about, do you?

I'd wager there's a helluva lot you know nowt about but pretend otherwise even conVincing yourself.

No. Especially conVincing yourself.

And there was I thinking it might be Rapunzel Vince.
