There's more life in a tramps vest.

...............................Is that a Wiganism?

No, I have never heard it before, been a Wiganer for 63 years

I've not heard it before LL, but I like it, I shall add it to my repertoire, I'm sure it will come in handy

Well I don't know. LL I thought it was a s...........

And you thought correct, EQ.

I do like wiganisms though

In Dickie's meadow.

What about that one.

I thought that was a Yorkshire one.

Oh aye, so it is.

Dickie's Meadow is a Wiganisn't - Dustaf's thread (Apr 2013)

There's more life in a tramp's vest is the title of a Stereophonics' song. (I googled! )

He's trap setting jo anne.

Where did all the tramps go

I've never seen any here i-spy, but there was a gentleman of the road who was very well known where I lived previously.

He had his own programme of where he would be at different times of the year, and turned up as regular as clockwork.

They are probably still around ice pie. But maybe lost amongst the many, many homeless that are in our towns and cities these days.

Mard?

First heard in Pem, cica 1953.

(According to my research)

Wiganism........dostafs word.

Made me laugh that,more life in a tramps vest, I worked in a joiners shop in Adlington our wood machinist was always saying it and he came from Horwich,

Gobbin.

Now that's GOT to be a wiganism.

Yep definitely,lectriclegs, my late mum always used to say it

"Pickfords been". Who coined that was it Mache? or is it a dostafism

I always use the word "gobbin" leccy

Whoever it was they got "pickforded"

Mard, gobbin and gobs***e all Wiganisms Also applied to above poster

Be careful, backtrack, you don't want one of your many haters reporting you.

Says the most hated man here.

don't you just love the way he "speaks" for the whole membership.......

hahahaha

He does have a way with words. Like, some people, usual suspects and most of al Mac, Mac, Mac, Mac Mac Mac Mac and on and on

I speak for all us posters who don't cause trouble, attack people every time they come on or come out with nasty and personal comments, the decent ones.

Chairman Walsh.

no Walsh, you speak for you, and you only....

Well, and snakeeyes, goose and brush.

You are babbling Baasil.
Anyway. Off the prepare for the festivities later. I'm bored with you now.. I can only cope with you in small doses

And above, people, are 4 of the worst.

that's your opinion Walsh and yours only......

You'll find that's it's the opinion of all the members who care about this site, who don't like nasty people like you lot who are ruining this site and are the main reason that a lot of the old school don't post anymore

Remind us about that time you said that Poor girl who was savaged by the dogs had been provoking them?

I seem to remember that there was more to it, but you seem to have forgot to say anything about that.

Naughty, naughty, tommy

Shameful thing to say

There is more to it, backtrack, tom is upset and he's trying to cause trouble again.

Just because you have been shown up there's no need to get involved.

Didn't tommy have something to say about the young lad???????????

see what i mean

yes Jathbee can only cope with you in small doses.....you've had 2 so far....

Which bit is lies?

Jessie, as in "BIG JESSIE " what about that one?

Jessie

An effeminate, weak, or oversensitive man.

a man or boy who is weak or who seems to behave too much like a woman.

I'd say yes its a Wiganism. I've heard it loads of times.

It is a Wiganism albeit not a nice one.

"You're not who you say you are"
"Remember when you posted this/that"
"Show me where I said that"
(Sic)

Can anyone tell me why every conversation ends with this kind of shit?
Why don't all the protagonists meet up and either sort/slug it out and/or shut the f**k up and grow up?

Or am I missing the point?

And obscenities are part of growing up???

(Comment removed because it broke the rules)

Couldn't knock the skin off a rice pudding.


That's got to be in with a shout.

What about

"Soft melt"

What about thick as two short planks Leccy, is that one?

I don't think that one is confined to Wigan,Jazzy.

Mutton dressed as lamb.

First found in a journal of social gossip printed in 1811 so hardly confined to Wigan.

At least he's trying to join in,Broady, bless him.

Hard as nails, and, nails get hammered.

Big girls blouse?

Thicker than a dockers wallet.

Hides behind the wife.

I've never heard that one, Baz?

Don't think that is a Wiganism.

Can't put owt we'er there is nowt.

Gotta be a Wiganism

Mummycuddle.

I have only ever seen one Wiganer use that one.

IKnew I'd seen that somewhere before. Someone on twitter uses it

Is it a Wiganism though

glass hommer and rubber nails

LL we used to say= If thee brain were made of dynamite tha would not have enough to blow tha cap off

,,Thats not in Wigan ,, that's a Tonkerism

Eq, and admin on WR, I have the same picture on twitter as I do on here so stop trying to cause trouble.

Did I say it was yours Basil brush?

No one said it was you, did they Bas?

But if the cap fits, wear it.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Is that an Wiganism?

But my name is in your post.

Didn't take them long....... Did it.

Your post reminded me that I had seen the same term used on a twitter account. So put your spoon away Baz

I've seen that also.EQ.

Wasn't it on Walshy's lad's account?

I won't link to it because it usually contains foul language.

I blame the Parents.

Why don't you go and toggle back to WR and stir things up over there, we don't like stirrers on Wigans no1 site.

"Wigan's no 1 site?"

See the thread title, Walshy.

You "rejects" still come on though.


All for one.......

By the way It's TODDLE.

Toggles are what you fasten your duffel coat with.

(more nolidge)

Thanks. I wouldn't have been able to sleep knowing I'd gorit it rong.

It's such a shame this all keeps rumbling on.

Totally agree, it's because of these lot I don't come on as much.

Been nice and peaceful for about a week Jo anne.

Funny that!

Unfortunately Jo Anne it only starts "rumbling on" when a certain poster pops up

There's even a thread been created by said poster to do just that

I don't want to fall out with anybody, but it's six of one & half a dozen of the other to me.

I've had threads removed because of these lot spoiling the site, plus they get nasty and personal.

It has been quiet this last week or so because they've not been on attacking anybody.

They're intent on ruining this site.

Here we go again......

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Shift change?

The ones who the "gang" stalk have not been on, so the "gang" have had nobody to attack...... That's why it's been quiet.

Well, I must be dafter than you lot for letting this get to me! Thread

Obviously that's aimed at the "usual suspects" who are continually ruining the site with there nastiness.

I think it's aimed at everyone

The one thing Jo Anne isn't is selective

There's more than one way to skin a rabbit.

Is that one?

Peeing up your back and telling you it's raining.

Surely a Wiganism.

I didn't think tramps could afford Vest's let alone wear one .

Chorve, have we had that one yet?

Two of my Grandkids were chorving each other to death yesterday, they got jawed at by me.

My granddad always used to jaw at me

One my mother often quoted. "Lay holes for meddlers."

Wonder why!

I was good me!

Harrumph!

Joseph...The why, when she was busy and asked what she was making....

Nice one, Anne.

Tha not goowin eyt in that clobber tha favers a tramp. That's the only reference to a tramp I've ever heard a Wiganer say.

My Uncle saying to my youngest one Forty Years ago was Thar Uncle Jerry,s Torment thee.

Grotched ( to spit)

Is that one?.

Oops wrong thread.

At least it gives you something to do

Someone pay him some attention FFS!!!

The poor lad is getting desperate again

"I'm voting fot labour me, coz thi fot wurkin chap."

Hahaha, SD, he hast do something to get people to take him on
