Ok so I’ve plucked all my nose hairs out with a pair of tweezers.

Now I can’t stop sneezing, do you think it’s related?

01 Feb 2026 18:40:50
According to the experts plucking nose hairs is a terrible idea.

01 Feb 2026 19:50:47
FFS there are nose plucking experts?

01 Feb 2026 20:27:44
I think it's just doctors in general.

01 Feb 2026 23:03:49
Class pineapple 🤣🤣.

02 Feb 2026 14:09:25
Excellent! These posts have reminded me of Billy Connelly's brilliant sketch about the signs of growing old, including when one notices one’s pubic hair turning grey…. “ honestly, in a certain light, my Willy looks like Stewart Grainger…😂😂😂😂😂.

Mrs Legolas staying away atm, so I've just watched one of my favourite films - Platoon. This quote from the film sums things up I think:

'Keep your pecker hard and your powder dry, and your world will turn'.

28 Jan 2026 11:37:56
It’s a great film Lego. Oliver Stone “amended” those lines from Oliver Cromwell’s famous ( and much more practical when going into battle) advice to his Roundheads to “ Fear God and keep your powder dry”.
Cromwell is one of all time heroes.

On Saturday we took my Grandson to a re enactment of the 1644 Battle of Nantwich by the Sealed Knot. Great fun. Cromwell wasn’t present at the original skirmish ( but Ireton and Fairfax were).

28 Jan 2026 18:15:13
Didn't Cromwell's army massacre thousands of Irish and, in effect, conduct ethnic cleansing? Not a 'loaded' question Stokey - but I know you've studied this stuff and I'd appreciate your take on it. (I don't need an essay though mate! ).

{Ed001's Note - yes Lego they did. The Irish hate Cromwell.}

28 Jan 2026 19:03:00
Hey lego, during the civil have you heard of the Battle of Lostwithiel that took place in and around Restormal Castle? Its actually fascinating, Google it if you haven't it's well worth a read. 🌳.

28 Jan 2026 19:51:03
Yes Ed and Lego he did but as a Puritan and he no regard for Papists and thought of the Irish as spawn of the devil. However, neither side took any prisoners and the feeling was mutual. In pitched battles in Ireland he never lost one. Plus the Catholics weren’t entirely averse to a massacre of Protestant settlers either.
Cromwell was not only a great military commander but a massive influence on the eventual development of the Parliamentary democracy we enjoy today with the Monarchy in Parliament.
Bearing in mind Cromwells time was 400 years ago, his ideas were truly revolutionary and its effects to this day out of all proportion to his few years as Protector of the English Republic.

Have a read of “The Putney Debates”, truly incredible.
I’ve visited the Church in Putney, Cromwells house by Ely Cathedral and the battlefields at Naseby, Edgehill and Marston Moor.
Cromwell is certainly a controversial figure ( my Mums side of the family are Irish Catholics). Have a listen to Morrisey’s great song “ Irish blood, English heart “ to hear what I mean.

28 Jan 2026 20:54:32
Thanks Stokey, Winter and Ed1. I've got a day off tomorrow, so will have a 'historical' day doing my own research.

28 Jan 2026 22:16:56
Colonel Thomas Rainsford leader of the “Levellers” faction, Putney Debates 1847 presided over by Oliver Cromwell….

“For really I think that the poorest hee that is in Rngland hath a life to live, as the greatest hee; and therefore truly Sir, I think itt clear, that every Man that is to live under a Government ought first by his own Consent to put himself under that Government; and I do think that the poorest man in England is not at all bound in a strict sense to that Government that he hath not had a voice to put Himself under”

So, one man one vote, freedom of conscience and equality under the law 400 years ago…Just unbelievable isn’t it?

“Irish blood, English heart is what I’m made of
There is no one on Earth I’m afraid of
And no regime can buy or sell me
And I will die with both of my hands untied “
Morrisey.

28 Jan 2026 22:43:11
Stokey - I suppose my initial thoughts, without researching the history of the 1600's and hopefully not sounding too deep, is that I guess 'ethnic cleansing' has gone on throughout human history going right back to the days of the Homo Sapiens vs the Neanderthals. OK, the term was first coined in Bosnia when I was there. But, perhaps, 'ethnic cleansing', whilst horrible, is a human character-trait that has gone on since us humans emerged?

Anyway, I'll shut up now as Mrs L is now back home and I better show her some attention!

29 Jan 2026 18:56:38
I just remember Brian, the rounded big head 😇.

30 Jan 2026 11:01:08
He was sometimes very “ Cavalier” on his TV interviews Bowie ……. 😂😉.

30 Jan 2026 18:31:47
Winter - regarding the Battle of Lostwithiel, it really was fascinating reading when I researched it. In Army speak - 'knowing the ground' myself after walking around the areas described, I think that the Royalists did a 'job' on the Cavaliers. Also, and this rings true throughout the history of armed conflict to this day - never divide your forces.

Stokey - it's not very often I disagree with you mate. However, after researching Cromwell I've come to the conclusion that he was a right s***. Yes, he left a lasting legacy which was very good for England, but at such an expense of both English and Irish lives. I know he's your hero, but the Int Corps in me tends to think that he was a hyper-religious nutter. I saw the work of planty of those types in Bosnia.

30 Jan 2026 19:50:31
I thought you'd like it mate, love Restormal castle, been there several times, in fact the whole Fowey River valley is beautiful. 🌳.

25 Jan 2026 21:30:01
I maybe upset a few people on this site regarding the comments I made about Bowie.

I hadn’t seen the posts he had made previously on this page and his recognitions of his drinking and what problems it can cause.

I am so glad he had already recognised what was going on.

The only reason I mentioned it is because I know the signs and have been down and maybe still going down that road, it is a constant battle.

So basically I just want to say not that it means much however, a big congratulations to Bowie and keep fighting.

26 Jan 2026 00:01:28
Very much appreciated pineapple thank you.

24 Jan 2026 20:25:36
I've been biting my tongue on the subject so far Reds. However, I wonder how fellow-Veterans on here, such as Stevie and Keeff, feel about Trump's recent comments about the British Armed Forces? Personally, his comments turned my stomach and reinforced my views that the guy is at best an idiot, and at worst a deluded twisted man with serious mental health issues.

So, he has now 'walked back' on his comments, as the coward that he is when faced with anyone standing up to him. So what? It's like a bloke saying to a woman on a first date "Good God, you're ugly" - and then, following the subsequent slap in the face, saying "I didn't mean it baby, I actually think you're beautiful". It doesn't wash, does it?

I'm tired of Trump's ignorance and arrogance. I'm also personally hurt by his derogatory comments about the British Armed forces efforts in Afghan. I'd love to get the guy by the collar, drag him through a muddy field, and then give him a taste of retribution via my metal legs. Oh, and then take him to all of the loved ones of the 457 British service men and women who died in Afghan and beg for their forgiveness.

24 Jan 2026 20:56:57
It wasn’t about the British Forces, more about the rest of NATO countries that sign up but don’t allow their troops on the front line.

Trump loves the British a damn sight more than that snake Starmer who is forcing through laws against veterans.

Just to add Trump hates the Globalist none elected Billionaires as he showed at Davos.

Don’t fall for the left rhetoric.

24 Jan 2026 21:17:48
My grandad hated the yank soldiers. trump just showed why there up there own arses without doing anything always join a fight late or try and get in there first in a battle they think they can win.

24 Jan 2026 21:50:50
Spot on pineapple.

24 Jan 2026 22:59:35
I'm trying to control my anger towards your post Pineapple. How dare you say 'don't fall for the left rhetoric' when I have served alongside soldiers who have died in Afghan? I have met with fellow amputees post deployment who are missing two legs and an arm. Just imagine yourself in that situation.

I sincerely hate civilians posting about Army operational-stuff that they simply don't understand. That includes both Trump and Starmer.

25 Jan 2026 07:45:40
I have nothing but gratitude and the up most respect towards Veterans and the serving members of the Armed Forces.

This is a very emotive subject and I can’t possibly begin to image how you and fellow amputees feel about your situations.

Trump is far from perfect and so different from any other politician ever.

I may not understand Army stuff but I understand gaslighting and political spin when I see it.

Just to add I standby what I posted.

25 Jan 2026 19:48:44
Brilliant post pineapple.

25 Jan 2026 19:52:43
We're both in a good mood following the win today Pineapple. So, I'm not going to make a 'scene'.

To explain, it was the last line of your post that riled me. I felt that one sentence crossed the line - certainly with me anyway. I am extremely proud and defensive of the memories of my fellow-soldiers who fell over there. The subject runs deep within me. I don't care about 'political rhetoric' theories - all I care about is the 457 who fell in Afghan, their loved ones, and the hundreds of other soldiers who returned home disabled for life. I hope that you can relate to that to a degree.

Anyway, well done Forest for the much-needed 3 points!

26 Jan 2026 09:54:17
Are we realising what Trump is now people?

29 Jan 2026 19:05:00
Hang on heres cyclist, loser of dog taken it out for a walk. Least I stand up to it.

22 Jan 2026 18:53:57
Hark at Two Ton Ted from Teddington!
🥩🥩🦴🔪🔪
CARLO.

20 Jan 2026 17:25:51
Just like to change the scene from trump. I mean yawn. Anyway, bbc etc keep showing the old films from 50s/ 60s. Why don't I ever see James cagney films. Legend when I was a kid. "I'm on top of the world ma, just brilliant. But each film had a meaning. The good old days. Btw I was 60s born 😇.

20 Jan 2026 18:19:05
I too was 60's born Bowie. I do love the old films from the 50s/ 60s. However, partly to wind you up and partly to state a fact - it has now been one month since the US DoJ became legally obliged to hand over all of the Epstein files and for a list of the redacted files/ reasons why to be published.

One month later - a small proportion of the files released and many heavily-redacted.

I'm certainly not yawning whilst writing this and nor should others be reading it. I think it's a total affront to the essence of democracy and, frankly, the burial of truth and transparency. Spot the difference between Trump and Putin? I'm struggling.

RIP the Epstein files - lost to DoJ shredders.

20 Jan 2026 18:32:50
If TACO has already got or gets dementia you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

My other post didn't get put on.

20 Jan 2026 18:36:05
Again yawn. Meanwhile back at the ranch.

20 Jan 2026 18:38:49
Your new false prophet is about to do a White House briefing, Bowie. He'll ramble on with lies about how great he is and all the unsuccessful things he has done in his first year.

It'll be good comedy value just like watching D*rby. Watch him turn on the charm and through insults at people when they ask him a question that he's too dumb to answer.

20 Jan 2026 18:52:59
Yeah milkman, you said you went down on the wife earlier on here, and I did get my cocoa there 3 x times every week.

20 Jan 2026 18:57:59
Its actually quality entertainment, stand up at its best"those damn Somalis driving Mercedes Benz's"🤣🌳.

20 Jan 2026 19:13:27
Well i was enjoying the opening few minutes now i'm slowly slipping into a coma💤, this fooker can ramble rubbish. 🌳.

20 Jan 2026 19:14:05
He's got pharmaceutical prices down by 400, 500, 600% you know. Mathematically impossible but he's done it and you and your wife will believe him. 🤡🤡's.

20 Jan 2026 19:14:34
Sorry Bowie. Back on-subject now.

One of my favourite films of all time is 'It's a Wonderful Life' (1946). I watch it every Xmas with Mrs Legolas and well-up every time!

20 Jan 2026 19:28:12
Ain't you got a pub to go and work in?
Tap water please I'm not here for fun you know?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

20 Jan 2026 19:42:03
Unfortunately i don't rate 60s films, probably due to not even being a twitch in my old mans ball bag back then. 🤣🌳.

20 Jan 2026 19:59:10
Last I heard winter your old man was going to call ya houdini. Said he'd have to if ya get outta that bag 🤣🤣 bless bud you know I'm joking.

20 Jan 2026 20:01:05
Amazing film lego 😇👍👍.

20 Jan 2026 20:14:50
That’s a great film Lego. It would be in my top ten along with “ Saturday Night and Sunday Morning “, “ Casablanca “ The Third Man” “In Which We Serve” “Brief Encounter”, ”The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”, “High Noon” “The Graduate” and “”To Kill a Mockingbird “.

20 Jan 2026 20:17:44
Houdini Winter has a ring to it 🤣🌳.

20 Jan 2026 20:18:21
Bonnie and Clyde a classic.

20 Jan 2026 20:41:41
Bridge over the River Kwai (although 57) and the Great Escape. 👌🌳.

20 Jan 2026 21:15:13
The carry on films were classics
The birds
The ipcress files.

20 Jan 2026 21:55:15
I didn't say anything of the sort, Bowie. I haven't even got a wife. I've been in a long term relationship with my girlfriend for about 19 years but we won't be getting married anytime soon. You must be confusing me with someone else. But you seem confused anyway.

20 Jan 2026 22:22:04
Not surprised she's not married you, get up when you want, then sod off to the pub to work?, lite a spliff and can't remember what day it is, then sign up and come on here talking about a fart? 😁😆😆😆😆

20 Jan 2026 22:33:58
And yes our children are b.s by the historical definition of the word. 🤣🤣.

20 Jan 2026 22:36:35
More spikes than "Dave Hedgehog" this one👆🌳.

21 Jan 2026 07:47:46
We both think marriage is pointless unless it protects our individual pensions in the respect that the other one gets it if either of us die. So based on that we will be getting married in 30 years when she retires at 67.

If your implying I have a spliff everyday then you are way off the mark. It's your mate Bowie who is the drug addict. And I do know what day it is. It's Satnesday today. 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

21 Jan 2026 08:37:19
You won't be retiring at 67 by then, try 75
The population will have doubled by then as well.

21 Jan 2026 09:12:10
No I won't be retiring at 67 my missus will be. I'm planning to retire at 55-60 years old. Our house will be paid for in 10 years when I'm 49 and I'll have my mum's house and my dad's house and whatever money they've got left when they both pass away. Hopefully that's not for a few years yet though.

21 Jan 2026 09:23:04
I can just imagine you silkman sat down in a morning with your bowl of alphabet cereals
Watching the news and plastering the tv with them at the first sign of trump
Then the missus putting an arm around you and saying "calm down, you can go to the pub soon and make some difficult decisions, I've made you your special treat in your packed lunch, dairylea triangles and triangle bread and a pack of monster munch and a fruit shoot 🤣🤣🤣.

21 Jan 2026 10:38:22
Not forgetting his Mrs cooking him Turkey Dinosaurs and alphabet spaghetti for din dins that evening. 🌳.

21 Jan 2026 10:50:55
How did you know? You're pretty much right there except for the alphabet cereals and dairylea triangles. URGH! Corn Flakes and cheese straws preferably. Please missus. Got to be pickled onion monster munch and a blackcurrant fruit shoot, though. 🤣🤣🤣

Not difficult decisions really. Just confirming stock orders and logistical issues on transport of goods in and out. General inventory decisions. Delegating certain tasks to whoever I think will be the better man or woman for the job in question. Anything goes wrong based on the decisions I've made will result in a backside kicking for myself. When it goes right then we've all done a good job and everyone's happy.

21 Jan 2026 11:11:53
Sounds as boring as you Milkworm, how about finding something you love doing and getting payed for it, no pressure, no targets and no ass kicking. I get paid very well and don't overly work hours wise, usually 30-50 hours a week in the fresh clean air. No mortgages, no debts. Oh and the Mrs takes home a nice chunk of cash too. 🌳.

21 Jan 2026 11:24:54
I cook the tea as she doesn't get home from work until 5pm. I might make her that though. Her face will be a right picture. She likes spaghetti. 🤣🤣.

21 Jan 2026 12:06:30
I enjoy the pressure Robin. If I was to count the hours that I actually do anything then it would be minimal. Decisions don't usually take much longer than 10 minutes and some days there is not many to make anyway. Pinching money in some respects. Easy peasy.

21 Jan 2026 12:56:41
So to cut a long story short, your a lorry drivers wingman 🤣🤣.

21 Jan 2026 14:14:11
Nah i reckon he's a secretary, his girlfriend makes his packed lunch and packs his sponge bob square pants backpack each day with fruit shoots. 🌳.

21 Jan 2026 20:38:10
Dtp could do with those alphabites so he doesn't become to reliant on the old spell checker.

21 Jan 2026 20:41:36
He's an Irish prostitute that only works in the day.

21 Jan 2026 22:56:28
And here's trigger half a day late with his brush up skills 😁🤣🤣🤣.

19 Jan 2026 10:36:22
All European countries should withdraw from the World Cup this year.

19 Jan 2026 11:14:36
Why!, Football sold it's soul when we had a Tournament in Russia and Qatar not to mention the one coming up in Saudi Arabia.

19 Jan 2026 12:18:25
And they should've boycotted them as well and the Saudi one in 2034.

19 Jan 2026 19:01:20
Ain't you got to be up early in the morning milkman.

19 Jan 2026 19:21:16
How about you really show them and not watch it and protest in your own way:)

19 Jan 2026 20:08:17
It's irrelevant anyway gingerkid as its not going to happen, why let sport and the fans suffer because of politics.

19 Jan 2026 21:07:46
Absolutely not. I get up whatever time I like as I work from home (in the 'pub' on my back yard to be more specific) and do whatever hours I want to, Bowie. Whilst playing pool and maybe throw some darts. And I get paid £42, 000 a year for doing it. But thank you for your concern on my working life. It's very much appreciated.

19 Jan 2026 22:48:34
Pretty much the lifestyle of a refugee only their bills get paid solkman 😆🤣🤣.

20 Jan 2026 00:17:42
DTP 🤣🤣🌳.

20 Jan 2026 07:28:46
And they don't need to work, DTP. Money for nothing for them.

20 Jan 2026 07:42:22
Money for nothin' and your chicks for free eh, Silkworm.

20 Jan 2026 08:09:08
Not really Davers. I make important decisions that keep a department running. Any bad ones and I get my backside kicked by my superiors.

20 Jan 2026 08:28:19
You can almost smell the self importance wafting from him silk pj's. 🌳.

20 Jan 2026 08:34:58
I can see there's some important decisions to be made there, larger or real ale?
Red or yellow?
Or a quick spliff? 🎯🤣🤣🤣.

20 Jan 2026 08:35:29
I don't wear PJ's, Robin. Can't afford them. I sleep commando style.

20 Jan 2026 08:52:01
Silk underwear as well as a silk cloth on his pool table, Robin. Oh la la.

20 Jan 2026 10:15:17
Ooo La La La 🌂🫖🎩.

20 Jan 2026 10:22:15
I don't have real ale and I ran out of the good stuff over a week ago, DTP, so no spliffs either. And I don't drink while I'm 'working'.

20 Jan 2026 12:25:47
Not much of a multitasker then 🤔😆.

20 Jan 2026 12:57:36
Useless by the sounds of it 🤣🌳.

20 Jan 2026 15:57:58
I don't need to be a multitasker. Not my job role.

20 Jan 2026 17:12:55
Milkshakes milkman? Your enemy shouldn't be trump, but two ton ted from Teddington who drove the bakers van.

20 Jan 2026 21:56:12
I've no idea who that is. Should I?

21 Jan 2026 17:53:15
Look up the lyrics from Ernie ( benny Hill)
