Jim and his mate are in Scotland for a few weeks, set off at 6am yesterday and reached Ben Nevis at 4pm. Got set up, bbq and beer and rested ready to climb to the summit today. They got a brilliant show of the Northern lights. He just sent a pic from the top, cold beer and a snowball fight.

My Mrs says I speak a lot of bollocks and it's about right to be fair.. probably like most English folk!

Mate.. I'm from an East mids pit village. If someone calls me a c**t.. I know they like me!!

A couple of lil flounder I took from a local river. This spot bout 1/2 mile up from a local estuary, well away from the sea water. Get small brownies here too. Hardly think there be any fish in it, not much of a river. Garden worms for bait. These lads went back not a bother on em.

Just back from Tamworth lovely weekend spent with old mates son and some new mates finally caught my first catfish but lost a bigger one and to round it all off slept out under the stars and watched the light show which I never expected to ever see in this country amazing weekend

@South hams hunter this one was funny as well lol

Nike sliders TENA a pair

I often get up at least once in the night but, in my case, it's because I drink lots of fluid as I've got kidney stones. I had by first batch almost twenty years ago. They were all either zapped, removed or "passed" (ouch!) but they came back several years later. I now take indapamide every day. It's to lower blood pressure (which I don't have a problem with) but one of its side effects is to reduce the body's production of potassium. As my stones are potassium based (and I'm a natural "stone former"), they've not grown any bigger in the five years or so I've been taking it. To get b

Just some of the pics. Taken from Knockbrack Hill, highest hill in North County Dublin, first time ever seen the Northern lights. Knockbrack has an ancient history, going back to the neolithic. I'll definitely chase a view of em again at different historical sites, something awe inspiring about em tbh.

Watching this video I often wonder what the dog lads of Yorkshire made of him when he was a school teacher in Rotherham probably thought he was a nutcase like one of his best mates the late Tony Capstick folk singer and comedian who once got a taxi from Sheffield were he worked for the BBC radio Sheffield and was showing the taxi driver an handgun he had bought when they were legal and wound the taxi window down and fired a shot out of it into the night air. Lol bet that taxi driver couldn't wait to get him out of the taxi

I speak English, well, as much as a Geordie can ! And also get by in Arabic. I can have very basic conversations in a couple of other languages, and can manage a menu in a few other languages. Interesting that Spanish is a Romance language, but the Germanic/ Anglo Saxon “carnage” isn’t to far from the Spanish for “ butchery “. My grandson is fluent in spoken, written and reading English and Arabic and is learning Japanese. Three massively different languages. He’s won his school spelling bee two years in a row against older children, so I’m guessing he has an aptitude for it !

I just pm Mackem ….. simples

I haven't touched any kind of tobacco for about ten years . I hated smoking cigarettes, but I really miss Cuban cigars. I enjoyed it so much , that I almost had another one ( but didnt dare). I stumbled across the Cubans in my old humidor(that my old man made for me about 20 years ago). I'd completely forgotten that I still had cigars in the house. I thought that it would be rank after so long , but the cigar was as fresh as the day it went in there. I might start having a Cuban and a glass of rum occasionally when I'm sat outside at my woodland. It's a fine place to sit on a

The only Spanish I know , is mucho grande maracon. One day , I had a , drunk , Spanish speaking , Russian , lad working on the truck( dont ask , we get allsorts). I pointed to my other mate , and said to the Russian lad ," mucho grande maracon " . The Russian lad said , " ah , you like Ricky Martin? " , and started wiggling his hips . My mate ( who can barely speak english ), said " yes " and started wiggling his hips along with the drunk Russian . It was one of those , you had to be there moments , but it still tickles me now , just thinking about it .

Dunster after a bit of hunting

Boring work for some but being surrounded with birdsong and not a person in sight or sound is bliss to me. I couldn't work indoors.

Grilled tandori and vedge ......you just have got to have lime with it

I expect looking at the demographic of people on here there are more than one or two with prostate issues, I am not a fan of tablet a day for life type of medication so don’t take the tablets I was prescribed for my enlarged prostate as a consequence I am up two or three times a night for a pee and get the urges then a dribble throughout the day, well I am slowly getting into more natural remedy’s and moving away from medication so my latest success story is the humble stinging nettle I have been drinking a glass off stinger tea a day for around a month now and am actually sleeping through th

The season has started weird for me, it was looking like the goldies were more forward than the canaries but then they seemed to go quiet again. I've bred mules before I got any young canaries though and the goldfinch pairs still haven't started. Hopefully they'll get their act together by the end of the month.

I sometimes talk in my sleep and apparently I talk in the 3 languages I speak (EN, ES & Cat)… I’ve heard myself recorded and I sound like the bloody exorcist

Cooked tomatoes with the skins I've heard is good to help prevent prostate cancer.

Most polyglots start when they are young,the brain is like a sponge,absorbent,my nephews 7 year old daughter lives in London but has Thai language lessons once a week,she is quite good after a years tuition. This kid is fantastic.

I work with a black Austrian guy. His dad worked for the un , and the family have lived all around the world . My mate speaks about eight different languages , and the only one that he can't get to grips with is Japanese. His brothers and sisters live all around the world , and when he speaks to them on the phone , they all speak in different languages. I asked him one day , what language he thinks in , and he thinks in English.

You culture vulture you lol

I thought it was there mate. Cracking spot it is. Been up on the gondolas a few times over the years but never with a bike. It's a great way for people less able to experience mountain top views. Watched a fair few coming down the trail on their MTB's as the trail winds and twists under the route the gondolas uses. Remember seeing one young girl really ripping it up and doing some massive jumps! She had way more balls than me! Sounds a cracking trip your son is having mate.. hope the weather stays nice for them! Couple of pics of my girls from over the years up near the cafe where the do

I find that anyone that can't speak the Kings English , is just a savage , that has no business trying to converse with me .

Good evening gentlemen You know?

My two children went to school in the Middle East in an English/ American school curriculums and learned Arabic as their second language, but when my son went to boarding school in England for his final few years, he was taught German, for some reason that escapes me ! My two nieces who are New Zealanders we’re taught Japanese and Chinese as second languages. Id say these days, just in my opinion, mind you, the languages a youngster would need are, in order of importance are; English, Chinese, Spanish, ( because of the South American countries that speak it), Arabic, Japanese, Frenc

Not me,I can say “Excuse me,how much for a blow-job off your sister?” In Punjabi,and this morning I made an old ex-Gurkha smile when I asked his name in Nepalese.

I hailed a taxi in Madrid and told the driver in Spanish we wanted to go to the airport. He understood and with a 'si senor' he sped off. I sat back smugly, thinking I was an international jet setter. Unfortunately he misunderstood my lousy Spanish and took us to the 'puerto' (port) and not the 'aeropuerto' (airport). Doh!

Yep, but he'd have to fly to the northern hemisphere, part of the way upside down, to see aurora borealis.

I once spent an entire long haul flight trying to converse in my pidgin Italian with a steward , he kept me well supplied in drinks and was very pleasant, but as I disembarked, he whispered “ by the way, I’m Spanish”, I replied “ ces’t la vie” and he laughed…. Cheers.

I speak Scottish fluently. There are many head scratchers for beginners. For example: ya fenian,bead rattling bass. ( You are a Catholic b*****d who habitually prays whilst clutching rosary beads) Where the f**k are ee frae? ( Where on earth are you from?) Div ee fancy your chances big guy? (Tall fellow, Would you like to engage in a no holds barred fight?) f**k off hame, the famine's o'er ya Kunt! ( Please leave Scotland you of Irish and Catholic descent, there is no longer a famine in Ireland you vagina.) The only king Billy is Billy McNeil. ( We do not recognise the Dut

I ferment gallons of nettles ; no, not for drinking ! LOL ! It’s an excellent liquid fertiliser for tomatoes ! Cheers.

Great thread is this and Systema thanks for sharing your stories of a man who will go down in history as a legend of the past lurcher world. I think just by the look of the types MD kept they had an influence on some of the legendary hare catching lurchers that we have seen over the years. A few pics I have found of a bitch bought directly off MD by a lad from Sheffield in the 80s and some pup's out of her when she was put to a 3 quarter greyhound saluki called Nero from Eckington nr Sheffield in the 80s and was by all accounts a decent dog.
