I've travelled all over England and Wales working and hate London, It's like crossing a border where all manners go out of the window and people forget how to drive properly.
And what's with those guys that don't speak English and try selling you a newspaper at every set of traffic lights? I mean if I wanted a newspaper I'd walk the 10ft past him and buy one at a normal price, craziness!!!
I find manners more of a class debate on the whole though, I've worked for millionaires that wouldn't give you a drink of their piss if you were dying of dehydration, and then worked on the average working class man's house that couldn't be more polite.
Like the DOC said manners cost nothing, that's how we were brought up don't use them and get a clout as a youngster.
I think the Welsh on the whole are very well mannered in general day to day life, Ive met some lovely people in some terrible places, still haven't managed it in London though lol

we have many resident northerners down here m8 .. Manchester Liverpool Newcastle are the most popular places folk are coming from
they seem to settle in pretty well , i personally know a scouse paul and a northern dave, northern dave is ok but scouse paul is a cunt
although with this recent huge influx of polish folk here now , the scousers and pakistanis have some competition over the minimum wage jobs
it seems so strange all these polish white people that cant speak English , bit like the chavs i guess lol

what does amaze me is how early tramps get up in the morning
i guess if they sleep in late they are missing valuable drinking time

you can set your watch by the local gathering of elderly gentlemen who flock together near the town hall ... it has a huge fountain
tramps can be seen from 8.30am onward drinking tramp juice (tennents super) or kestrel super that is for the real hardcore tramps
why do tramps like fountains so much i have always wondered
is this a London thing, or do your northern tramps enjoy a bit of super t's near the fountain ?

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

oranjeboom super is cheaper than stellar up here. 8% and it actually tastes canny.

see you doon the toon square

lol I really haven't had much luck when working around the london area mate and must admit the last few times were prob my fault being as ignorant as the people surrounding me but I find it has that effect after you've been their a few times, the last few times we worked there if we got lost we'd just keep an eye out for a postman or a copper other than that back to the old A-Z lol.
It's the same down my way with the white people that can't speak English mate, loads of poles etc there's even been a noticeable difference in the corner shops, seems they're giving the paki's a run for their money now, opening up little market type shops all over the place, I went in one not long back and the girl behind the counter didn't speak English! turned into a game of charades just for a pouch of baccy, didn't even bother asking for rizla's and filter tips lol
Turkish barbers, polish shops, chinese chippys and more foreign languages than you can shake a stick at, tis a crazy little island we live on these days mate.
I think the days of old are well and truly gone, like you said chav seems to be the new English and all us that haven't been born in the last 18yrs or so will soon be left behind like relics and classed as the oldies because we don't understand what the fuck anyone is talking about lol

Fucking hell that's a true man vs food challenge there mate, stella and a gavvy chaser lol I wouldn't even make through the toast mate, would be nice to try but I'd be trying as a defeated man 2-3 bacon sarnie's and I'd be doing the walk of shame lol

bud porn time !
some nug shots, and a little smoke report on the 5 better pheno's of the plants i posted a few weeks ago
all the buds have been nugged up small to fit in glass jars
they could cure another week or so, i am smoking them now anyway its hard to wait
on the next clone run i will hopefully be able to decide which are worth keeping and get it down to 2 or 3
i will start this clone run in a week or so, i am lazy and enjoying the fruits of my labour at the moment !


Angel Heart
I have been smoking this one for around 6 months now and i still like it
it is a weed for all occasions , the yield is low 3 oz per plant is typical
very nice smooth orange hash flavor .. heavy dreamy indica type stone
this beautiful plant has become the benchmark in my garden it is unlikely i will replace it any time soon

Blues Hash Pheno
This plant was nice to grow it stays quite short and bushy, it only produced 4.5 oz
which is less than i would of thought it had lots of colas, they did not get very big
but are nice and solid with stacking calyx towards the end
the smell of this weed is very nice, perhaps the best of the bunch
the berry smells blend with the black hash smell, the smoke leaves the most sweet
"cake mix" type sweet hash smell in the room the taste is full on hash with some faint musk and berry
in the background .. the high is uplifting and motivating , very happy weed

Blues Skittles Pheno
This plant is the best surprise of them all, i did not pay much attention to this plant
during the grow, it was stuck behind the blues hash pheno so taking pictures of it was awkward
it also looked boring when growing, it looked like a typical skunk1 pheno, with a large single top cola
long branches with quite a big inter-node space .. i did not expect so much from it
it has turned out to be the largest blues yielder at 6 oz
it also produces the most uniform round large solid buds of all the plants
this pheno does not stack its calyx
it has a great smell, when i open a jar of this it smells like skittles, very sweet and fruity
the large dense round nuggets are very enticing to smoke , this plant could even be the best all rounder of them all
it has good potency similar to the blues hash pheno, the high is energetic
with a light body sensation nice and clear in the mind .. at the moment this is the one i am smoking the most

Biker Kush
This plant was the final plant to come down, and perhaps the most demanding to grow
and trim, lots of little leaves with hardly any resin
it produced 7 oz which is a surprise making it the 2nd largest yielder of them all
The taste has mellowed away from the full on hash flavor, it has a complex flavor
butterscotch, hash, citrus, musk, pine .. the amount of resin this plant produces is good but nothing special
the calyx get large and dense but the buds are quite airy with long stacking calyx inside them
the main thing i notice is how this burns, the amount of thick dense smoke that pours out the end of a joint is quite unusual ,it also keeps burning much longer to the point i have had to "put the joint out" LOL
the potency is good and very fast hitting, the high is more on the indica side, heavy and long lasting
i do not find this one as mood enhancing and happy as the blues, but it hits harder too much of this is quite mind numbing and confusing

NL x BigBud
This plant produced the highest yield at 10 oz, large colas with a great bud to leaf ratio
the large colas shrink a great deal when dry, the buds this plant produces are spongy
lots of little golden brown calyx with very few leaves , the buds are very uniform
and have a great smell, very strong piney smell with a sweet candy background
the smell does not fully translate into the flavor, which is dominated by the pine
it is a nice smoke, the very strong smell when opening the jar of this makes it hard to refuse
although when smoking it, its a little disappointing compared to all that smell
i enjoy mixing this with the others to give them an added piney edge
the potency is good, a little slow to hit compared to the biker, but once it hits it does its job well
it is an excellent commercial strain, it can basically yield 3 x what angel heart can yield

peace

welsh are quite polite until they get a drink down them lmao

I wasn't going to mention that mate lol the difference truly is night and day lmao
I manage to remain well mannered whilst pissed for the most part but have had my moments after too many bevvys, one thing that does seem to be ingrained into me is the instant apology thing when someone bumps into you, whether it's my fault or not seems to be an almost instant reaction, causes more trouble than not apologising most of the time because if the reply isn't good then off it all goes lol

 

[The Yorkshireman]

hehe, going down t' pub!

That exaggerated t' instead of "the" is a Lancastrian thing (think Fred Dibnah) not Yorkshire. In Yorkshire we use a Glottal Stop instead,this doesn't produce any phonetic sound at all as it's produced by obstructing air flow.

Massive difference.

 

[W Dragon]

Some lovely looking bud there mate, you know when you say blues do you mean livers/blues or blues as in blueberry blues?

 

[unlucky]

hello uk bud masters.........

what did you say behind that funny accent...... ?

 

[The Yorkshireman]

what did you say behind that funny accent...... ?

Says the chick from Manchester! Ironic?

 

[The Yorkshireman]

And as a Glottal Stop produces NO phonetic sound how can a Yorkshireman have an accent?

As I've just explained there isn't a Yorkshire accent,it's a common mistake people make.

im the same if i bump into anyone but in the local your likely to get a bottle over the head before you can finish saying sorry lol

 

[W Dragon]

You alright love? chop down on the weekend then you lucky girl, how they looking now last time we were talking about them you said there wasn't any amber, they finished up or you just had enough of waiting and 10wks is the magic number?
I should be up in the attic working right now but had a smoke earlier and got my para on now, there's old bill next door and they've been there a while now, I know there's nothing to be parra about but every time I look out of the window and they're still there I have another joint and so the parra process continues lol
On a serious note though I wonder what has happened next door the guy seems very respectable, go's to work in a shirt and tie everyday with a briefcase and is very well spoken, his misses left him the other week, I wonder if he's been a naughty boy with her as they've been around there a couple of times now.

Sounds like my old local (it's gone now) I was lucky and knew nearly all the regulars so never had much in the way of bother but have seen some poor unfortunate souls walk in, in a group with the wrong attitude and leave in pieces. our landlord was good as gold, if any of the boys were involved in anything he would just record over the cctv footage if it was bad he's snap the cd up there and then lol
