In fairness 'jock piss head' is hardly narrowing it down.
But I agree, more pond.

You been following Oak Island as well Andrew?
Amazing series and watched a few episodes back to back each night. Almost makes you reluctant to see any real treasure turn up.

I don't really find a bunch of blokes standing in mud and never finding anything really significant very exciting. |

I love that series, So many questions thrown up. Every season seems to bring more oddities, I’m convinced something was/is there but I don’t see any immediate prospect of the finding it just yet. Looks like they will dig up the swamp next series to find out what the ship-like anomaly is. Lots of evidence to suggests the swamp is man made, but the ship anomaly measures 250 feet, which seems too big. HMS Victory is smaller than that. |

I don't really find a bunch of blokes standing in mud and never finding anything really significant very exciting. Neither did I Geoff until I started watching the series. This is from someone who so very rarely watches ANY television at all because there is so much dross on it these days. |

This is starting to be a bigger project than I realised. I’m thinking it might need a name, Lake Rudi?

Wonder if Rudi’s overdone it. That’s a lot of work to take on manually, on top of a physically demanding job, I’d be in hospital if it was me,

In any other country in the world most of these people would starve to death in the street, but in the UK they can seemingly get responsible jobs with no problem whatsoever. |

You’ve summed it up. How some of them survive day to day life amazes me. Near complete inability to think or make a rational.decision. Doing nothing to avoid an oncoming train crash or blindly following a road that will take them over a cliff is always the preferred option.

We are about to have a gormless Trump 'mini me' in control of the country and the only alternative to vote for in the next general election is a communist loony! |

Of course it's a problem that pales into insignificance compared to the rise of the po faced wankers who take themselves so seriously that they can't even recognize a bit of humour when they see it. But now I'm digressing.
