Mod to Suedehead

[Ivyskin89]

Same as people referring to a biker jacket as a ‘double rider’ - when did this **** start?

That must be an English thing. Don't recall hearing that before

Nope never heard it in England just read it on menswear websites written by bloviating gobshites!

That's just my Stasi training, mate.

Ah yes , the Stasi , l nearly forgot about them . I was listening to one of their ex-agents on the radio one day talking about how hard it used to be to find people and er, spy on them . Then he said ' of course , nowadays we have the internet'..

Why does the banner say Prince of Wales on it . .

Great stuff, still want to look at the banners in the NUM offices sometime.

Walked back to work under that banner in March 85 at about 5 in the morning. About 2000 of us and we were confronted by 6 miners from Kent on the picket line so we all went back to bed. The Met and army in police uniforms had gone by then, so we didn't start a fight with the local bobbies, The Kent miners went back the next day, just a shame that the rest of the South didn't have the same balls!

Because the Mine was called the Prince of Wales Colliery.
He once visited before I started work there, and they white washed everything in the pit bottom, he thought it was a lovely place to work. He then went into the pit canteen where my Auntie worked, and she asked him about the men who had died there since the1800's and he said to her it was all in a days work. WANKER.

Ah okay , got it . .

He probably had no idea about what it was like to work down there. To be honest , I don't. Aye , l have seen the footage of guys down there and have worked with guys who had been down pit but all l really know is they couldn't pay me enough to go doon there.

I once worked in a hangar that was visited by his first wife . The chief engineer welcomed her in the door and she said " oh, I can smell paint!"

What an absolute shite.

 

[Man-of-Mystery]

To me the use of the word SCAB, is one of the worst insults that can be used.

Just thinking a few pages back, I think whoever-it-was actually posted "ACAB" which stands for "All Coppers Are B*******"

 

[Man-of-Mystery]

I think we all have a fairly good inkling where everybody stands politically

My style icon!

I like the cap, there are so many ways one could tilt it. .

 

[DonkeyJacket1]

A hats not a a hat till its tilted, i wear flat caps now and they look far more stylish tilted to the side rather than just placed on top of the noggin
