More Tapas today...faultless again.. Octopus, beef capaciao, mussels, burrata and pesto salad, ravioli Desert... French toast with cinamon ice cream, poshest bread and butter pudding ive ever had! Choclate ganache top food, and not expensive at all...

Good idea fellah Dogs can lose condition in this cold weather,..more so if they are kenneled in an unthinking manner.... I've seen more than a few large, spacious "Cathedral sized", volumanous sleeping blocks, that seem more akin to high security prisons, than kennels... Facts are, the best 'boxes' for keeping the working dogs nice and warm, are frequently small... All a dog really needs in this cold weather, is to be able to crawl in and lose himself, in snug amounts of dry bedding.... I remember visiting a noted breeder/trainer of 'Bird Dogs' in the Highlands of Sc

Just finished decorating the first bit of corridor only another half a mile to go and a couple of bunnies on the lawn, hoping they will breed so I can harvest a few

For some reason I have given a couple of advent calendars, so looks like shitty chocolate and ring stinger sauce for the month

Thousands are Sailing? Love the pougues, If I Should Fall From Grace With God is a classic album imo... He was never gonna make old bones, 65 is a hell of an age for someone who lived how he lived... maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but has left a catalogue of music that I personally love... RIP Shane

Good recall and good of the lead like to explore mooch in cover well pleased .Still very boisterous but to be expected at this age good with other dogs and people .

That has to be the longest wait for a reply in history ! Lol

He has a thing for moles. Caught approx 40 last year

Been nibbling on and off all day so just boiled a couple of eggs tonight. Cheers Arry

Seafood stew.

At a guess a small lamb would be at the biggest end of its range, I have a book at home somewhere called a highland year by lee mcnally I think he was a gamekeeper and hunted them with his terriers, worth a read if your interested mate funny enough we had a dna result back a while ago from a roadkill in Scotland and it was what they call a Kellas cat which is a black highbred of wild cat and domestic, but the body was bigger than both parents and could probably of taken a small deer

So you got one over on a charity shop...... Shalom brother....

We have been doing abitusing les Nelson gear this season, the quality is unreal, yielding great results.

I love lyrics. They are another form of poetry. When they gave Bob Dylan the Nobel prize for literature, it was thoroughly deserved. I can't believe the creativity of some artists. One of my favourites is Peter Green from the original Fleetwood Mac.He taught himself to play,became one of the greatest guitarists in the world and wrote spine chilling lyrics. He seemed to have that self destructive side to his nature too. Ebay McColl's Dirty Old Town, never fails to get to me. That song is the story of my life. Nobody sang it better than Shane.

I woke Thursday morning to an absolute white out

My family used to watch the Black & White Minstrel Show. I always refused to watch it as I found it deeply offensive... to my feck'n ears!

I have a 1990 Saab 900 turbo at home in my garage and it squirts warm water from the washers has a small copper coil that wraps around the top hose on the radiator

Yes but salmon stocks are critically low. They are finished. I don't think they will ever recover.Global warming,pollution,salmon farms where they pick up sea lice,factory trawlers hoovering up everything. My mate caught a sea trout with 27 sea lice on it. It could only have picked that level of infestation from passing salmon farms. It was lethargic and pitifully thin. There's too much stacked against them mate.Numbers have not just steadily deteriorated. They have fallen off a cliff. The Environment Agency is weak,toothless and corrupt. Really sad for future generations.

Shane was one of a kind. A charecter when everyone was genuinely themselves. The new generation are all similar arseholes and like sheep.

Rip Shane....lasted longer than most would of thought

I wouldn't mind getting my head down in one of those Peter for Christmas, could you do us a breakfast please

My kennels are warmer than my house, I’ve got sheds an inside the sheds I’ve made a 4x4 box lined with 50mm kingspan with a lid and a heater tube in each bed then about 2 foot deep in waxed shredded paper, an I can sleep at night knowing my dogs are warm and comfortable

Hello you. As it's nearly Christmas I thought I'd give you all a treat

Paul Whitehouse is the experienced angler. Bob is the novice and he plays up to that. Paul is intense and takes it seriously. I just about wet myself when Bob whacks a ghillie over the head with his rod. Paul lies to think he's a great caster but like everything in sport , it's all about levels. He's not really that great tbh. When fly fishing ,either spey or overhead , the rod should stop abruptly at around a gradient of two o clock. Paul stops the rod at 5 o clock, so he loses a lot of tension/ spring in the rod. I love the scenery, the chat and the music more than the fishing.

All the local dispos are selling alternative advent calendars,one bloke I know has orders for 3000 calendars.

Watching Bob hold/cast a rod...just does me inboth nice guys...but should stick to what their good at

Im 44 and listen to allsorts... only thing I cant listen too is the thrash metal shite...I like the Kinks through to Dabbla,dance music to country,80's power ballads to BachI like any genre when the lyrics tell you a story... music is timeless and reaches to every part the globe,it breaks down barriers and next to art/painting etc ,is one of the greatest ways to express yourself

A Bang on the Ear is their best imo

She featured in the video for Rainy Night In Soho. Only a young lass at the time.

Chris and Accip74 are both on my discord channel, I speak with Chris daily but Accip74 has mysteriously dropped off the radar,both top lads

You mention art...we went to the Picasso museum yesterday... I mean that is as subjective as it gets... went to the Sargrada Familia today...no question Gaudi wad a genius, what an astonishing building, mind blowing!

Cold 1 today

Maybe...but theres not many 'junkies' with the coin he would of had ...or the legacy he leaves his kids etc ...very well thought of in the Emerald Isle and around the world... so have a day off pal

My old man used to drive me off my f***ing canister with Irish Soldier Laddie, Danny Boy and all manner of assorted nonsense……still, was on the way home the other night and was listening to Embarrassment from the Absolute Madness album and my older lad was singing along. I said “Your grandad bought me this album in 1980” ! ……some things are just generational I guess

We loved it, first time we've been, will go back soon and visit more places.... on our way to South of France now to stay with a good friend of ours, my birthday tomorrow so celebrating there, it will definitely get messy! Lol

Some place is that....and its not finished yet...he had some vision that fella

I love lyrics mate, Dylan, Springsteen, Billy Joel... and McGowan.. he wrote in a way that you could picture Imo.. The Broad Majestic Shannon or A rainy Night in Soho... just great song writing... SeanC my mate off here put me onto a bloke last week, Louis Dunsford, North London lad and writes pretty raw stuff about the area etc... I like his style and lyrics...Worth a listen...I think.you might like a song he wrote called Boss man, reminds you of those nights our when.we were a bit younger! Lol

They are Thirsty mate..

Yes I liked that fella had some good input on here

Lamb tacos

Genuinely sad when I heard this. The only other time I felt sad when a famous person died was when news broke of Gary Speed. Love Shane's songs and how he sang them. Never seen the Pogues in their pomp but went to plenty of the Christmas gigs. One time in Glasgow was probably the best, 2 days of happy partying. Another at Newcastle arena when after leaving to get drinks mid-concert I forgot how to get back to where I'd came from and eventually went through a door that was ajar and spent the rest of the gig back stage. One of those situations when everyone just assumed I must be with someone el

A top lad, he was a good friend of good friends and I then met and spent a very enjoyable day at Lowther with him…..great company and an absolute bear of a bloke. Gentleman, what more can you say.

“The island is it silent now , but the ghosts still haunt the waves and a torch lights up a famished land , who fortune could not save “ thank you Shane

miss miss he’s eating chewing gum lol he was a wanker

Theres more chance of Wilf converting to f***ing Islam.....rather stab my own balls with a rust spoon fella

Well francie, did the irish get the government they deserve? I think they are too left wing, but in all fairness they are the loveliest of peoples mate, every time we go down south we get nothing but respect and treated like family, i see leo the snake is constantly blaming the irish right wing instead if the real reason, is it time for the irish to vote with their heads now and get a centrist government instead of all left wing, pro uncontrolled invasions? What leo is doing against the natives here is treason at the highest level.
