The beef in red wine is good. As is the corned beef and potato. As is the chicken, ham and leek. As is....well you get the gist!

Yes. You can buy by the slice (they are BIIIIIIIIG pies). Home made and absolutely rammed with fillings. 100% recommended

My local hills. Love 'em. I'm very lucky to be able to walk straight from my house onto the Breiddens. Love the gypsy monument on Moel y Golfa

We did make nitro glycerine, a small amount. Put it into a test tube and a mate threw it at his own porch. Luckily it didn't work as we were standing a good safe distance away (4 feet)

You also inherited the wins of your beaten conker. So if you were 5er and beat a 3er, your conker became an 8er rather than a 6er...in Monkmoor anyway

The incident between their No. 13 and Hoole happened almost in front of me. But (much like the referee) I missed it as I was ball watching. However I was quickly on my feet, a human torch of incandescent moral outrage, demanding righteous justice.

Worked n'all....

I thought Creepy Crawley edged it in terms of performance, but good fighting attitude from Salop again. And I'll take any win in any style right now*

Yes, against Shropshire County Council. It broke my wheel and burst the tyre. I did what you seem to be doing - taking evidence. Sent copy of garage bill along with photos and What3Words location. I received a cheque for £500+ a couple of weeks later. No covering letter mind you, just a cheque!

Why aren't white people integrating there?

WELCOME TO THE UK DONALD TRUMP 🇬🇧

Paid for by 1770 members of the British public.

World's biggest copy of the photo of trump with jeffrey epstein is placed on path oustside windsor castle with people surrounding it for scale. The castle and grass is in the background as well as people walking

I prefer a chonky boi but that's still a beaut!

I remember Nelson Mandela's funeral - everyone singing and dancing, absolutely wonderful scenes. The night Thatcher dies and we recreate that in the Nags Head in Shrewsbury and somehow we're being disrespectful..
