Take your pick

If you were guaranteed just one Christmas present what would it be

The chance to spend one more Christmas with my mother and grandmother, so my children and grandchildren could meet them.

That's a lovely wish Mrs m

To have my hubby back who passed away two months ago.

Everton getting back to the form they showed at the start of the current season.

To be able to post on here without being attacked.

momac. Sorry to hear that. I didn't know and I hope the post hasn't caused you more upset.

builderboy I'm with you

I would wish for world peace and some new underpants.

Thank you i-spy..and no it hasn't.x

That 175 Million on the euro lottery tomorrow

Me too, then I can give at least half of it to charitys.

"That 175 Million on the euro lottery tomorrow "

But would it change you?

I would use it to fund a return to the days of flower power, love and happiness , dog licences, lock-ins, a triumph spitfire and rabbit stew

I may need the underpants a bit sooner than World Peace.

You can have mine Terry. I'll be buying a complete new range. Is C&A still open

Cheers pal, C&A? there's one in Germany if that's any good.

131 Friedrichstrase, 40217 Dusseldorf. Opens at 10 AM.

Terry . Is there a website ?

HERE

Free delivery as well from 39€.

You are a gent

Terry I would have more fun giving it away.... Not in wads of cash... I would ask what the charities/needy/organisations want... Then supply it. Stop the admin/middlemen taking their slice in "Fee's"

Good man.

Me too, bb, have much greater pleasure by helping other people/charities.

Didn't there used to be someone on here who gave a large portion of his off time to charities?

BB if I won the euro millions None of the top charities would get a red cent off me.It is time they started spending their millions and in some cases Billions which they have in the bankI would source local good causes and buy items for them but would not give them any money . Over the years I have bought items for hospitals by asking them what they required then paid for the items. Told a long time ago do not donate any money because it gets swallowed up in the system and you never find out where it is spent

My list would be endless

Correct Peter P. Guide dogs would be the first OFF my list.

BBC still have millions in the bank from all their children in need fundraisers.

88 million in the bank

And that's my 2nd F. F.... Just cost me a £5 for two lucky dips.!!

Not so lucky dips eh!

"Didn't there used to be someone on here who gave a large portion of his off time to charities?"

I think it was that very popular big lad wot left wasn't it. He also helped many people on WW with IT queries and problems, a very nice man all round.

Ah, knew I hadn't dreamt it. A smashing chap by all accounts.

Went out of his way to help folk on and off WW.

Marvellous, the world need more of his type.

Was it Dick Barton? Those were the days. A shed full of fall outs but no lasting animosity. To all those that survived those Friday nights, Merry Christmas, and may all your Pernods be doubles.

if you had that kind of money then you could open your own foundation charity like Captain Tom and the put your daughter as the payed director

Oh Dick Barton a gentle soul he was, kept himself to himself and enjoyed the banter when he'd loosened up after a brandy or two. Liked building models I recall, tanks and military vehicles.

Very true FF. WW is sadly lacking such people now.

My wife says she'd like to open a perfumery if she won millions and release a top of the range perfume several times a year that would outsell the others.

I said I would like to help her with that but she refused and said I release a fragrance of my own all to often.

Again with the vaudeville

I was thinking of blacking up, but that went down the Swanee River.

Oh Mammy!

Brilliant, what good memories, "some people" have.

I remember someone always typing "Some people".
He was bitter too

Every post,every day

Beware the PC BrigadeSenior police officer sacked for calling a coloured gent a "choc ice"

"some people" can't resist coming out with comments which are about as funny as toothache.

Don't put yourself down. Let everyone else do that.

It's a gift he has.

Basil do you know Worm from Pem/Norley or his brother, Worm is someone's son in law.

So was that philanthropists name Dick Barton?

No

I wish my memory was as good

There's an old saying "A liar has to have a good memory"

Posted by: basil brush (15421)

No

I wish my memory was as good.

So it wasn't Dick Barton. You remember this. yet you have a poor memory?

Not more porkies?

Now that it was posted, yes I remember the name, but as a major contributor to wigans no1 site, there are "some people" I don't remember until they get mentioned.

Was it washy76?

Whereas, some of the "newbies" seem to know "some people" from way back.

That's because all your other names have been published so many times

I wish you had a good memory too, then you would have remembered posting about glass snatching at the Riverside instead of saying your were too old to do that.

You didn't answer my question about Worm.

A ducktail at your age.

How do you know that was me?

Posted by: basil brush (15424)

No

I wish my memory was as good

Oh yes, I wonder if his trousers are singed, and not just around the bum area.

You could have even remembered not to break the WW rules and not posted as someone else.

Oh yes you do.

How do I know it was you? It was in your name.

You need a good memory to remember all the lies you have told, you clearly don't.

Another good thread spoiled by the local dimwit.

Another good thread spoiled by the local dimwit.

look at 11.55 when your "close" friend posted.

Have you got any close friends ?

No. It was you who spoiled it with your snide remark at 11:37. It's always you and you alone, never anyone else but you, It's constantly you, you never cease with the snide comments and crap Wigan Today posts that everyone else has already seen. It's YOU.

Like him, pointless.

As pointless as the UK score in Eurovision

It looks like my wish for an Everton return to form may just have started and I put it all down to my earlier post.

My thanks to Mr. Ice Pie for starting the thread.

Have you got any close friends ?

I have proper ones who don't post personal information, about someone. to try and score points.

Yaaaaaaaaaaawn.

Hahahaha, Dimmus wittus.

here they come, bah, bah,

Sheep say "baa" and goats say "maa"

My "close" friend as posted so I'm doing the same. Awwww

Jealous are we, no mates?

No, I would rather have none than have you 2 cowardly, nasty keyboard warriors, as friends.

Your wish is granted.

The decision was made when you first become a "newbie"

Hahahahaha.

you and your "close friend"

Aawww, thrush is a hom,ophobe and thinks we are intimate. Everyone who thinlks you are a tool on here are 'close friends' so thaTts the majority. Bar the giraffe and the Oedipusssian sledge

He seems preoccupied with the newbies doesn't he, not like it's any concern of his as to who is who. An owd fishwife comes to mind with his wailing and screeching.

My one personal Christmas present is actually a combined one; the sort that everyone could contribute to...
Resurrection of the Commercial Yard, Moot Hall, Old Arcade, Old Market and the bobby back at the top of Wigan on point duty!
Then my New Year resolution would be to create a George Formby museum that would guarantee an influx of visitors and income into the town... and really put us on the map.

JR,on the Nothern news it keeps showing different towns being empty,they all look like Wigan town centre..and why,because we've lost our own character, why can't the powers that be see what they've done to our lovely town.

Momac, thank you. There is so much history and potential for Wigan to be the jewel of the north.
