i a luck man charts my friend, and dont i know it, when i was first diagnosed, with you no what, sorry but i cant even type the word, i hate the word, but back in 2023 i had six operations, a fekin nightmare, one a MEDIASTINOSCOPY went horribly wrong with me, within an hr of the op, i was on the recovery ward, then it all went wrong, i had an internal bleed in the neck, i was in agony, and was rushed back into theatre, but the surgeon who did the op was on his way home, but immediately turned back to sort me out, i distinctly remember, because id had a sandwich on the recovery ward, the surg

Giving these a go , probably should've given them a bit longer on the grill, but they're in the stock now and I'm gonna cook them to death...basically until the kids are screaming murder lol.

In the sea at 7am , was lovely I reckon swell of 2/3 metres but don't know . Enjoyable once I got past breakers .

Funny enough he keeps inviting me to the farm, says he has a spare milk urn I can have for my garden. And honestly this is gospel. He is single on his own and in late 60,s and tells me he goes on swinging sites and likes big black women ! Lol

Local chippy has just started cooking in beef dripping, said chippys couldn't buy it after mad cow disease. He's just found a supplier from a rendering plant in southern Ireland. He says he's lost all his vegetarian customers and all his Hindu customers....but people are now travelling from all-over as word spreads. He's big on healthy eating and when you talk to him he goes off on one about the dangers of seed oils and the health benefits of proper fish and chips. Reckons he's one of the only shops in England using 100% beef dripping

McHull once got Ringo Stars autograph !

THL’s own “Wolf of Kabul”, Mackem, wandered all around the Afghan/Pakistan tribal areas and Khyber Pass with impunity, but he was in disguise; Cheers.

took this pic this morning

I back packed round Afghanistan for a year in total , it was alright ya know

67th edition of the underground badger hunting days in France. The first edition dates back to 1956. Two days on the burrows with the judges, the mass of Saint Hubert and blessing of the dogs, the prizes.

Well I've left it go and put it off, weather stopped play for a bit, but time has come to strim the back yard. A few peroni to aid the dog shit surprises buried by a foot of grass....am I alone in this quagmire...

.

Wee daunder this afternoon with Jess and Tia. Still about 15°c here far too warm for this time of year. Anyway a few photos from the hill

Well I think gm is totally wrong in what hes doing. paying for 1 bag of coal and putting 2 or 3 in the car boot.. He's clearly a lightweight he should be putting about 5 bags in the boot.

Done mine a couple of weeks back, and planted loads of crocus, dwarf iris, hyacinths etc, plus planted up a few window boxes, which I'll try to put a few pics up of when they start flowering.

This farmer seems quite determined to get you pissed ! He wants to plant his seed in your furrow!

Pulled a good shot off this morning probably a fluke in my case I spotted a squirrel up the side of the wood that was a fair distance catapult wise and hit it with anhead shot that just flipped it over dead as a dodo with another wasp catapult i recently treated myself to and some bands with a smaller pouch that I am used to off a lad on Ebay called Billy Fowler who makes decent bands.

Hold mine like this with a ball bearing loaded in pouch so always ready for a shot and carry it like this the whole time I’m out mate

But has Terry Waite heard of McHull ?……. Did he spend his years chained to a radiator saying “McHull says we was all mates 50 year back so what’s all this about ?” Lol

Out for a meal tonight Belly Pork with Scallops and it did have a side of Dauphinoise celeriac truffle potatoes. Of coarse a pint of Jail Ale. Cheers Arry

My 16 month dog hes coming on good , good on the lamp comes straight back retrieves to hand and very good mooching about during the day ,and works well bushing with my black lab.

New pup dropped on me this week , I do like it and beats the Alsatian plan, see what happens...just got to introduce the mega bitch tomorrow...

Been out with the old boy and the Twatterdale in the Peaks this afternoon. Had him on the shorty (most of the time) mate.. he didn't hang back once!

Enjoy it and store the memory , it’s always 2 minutes unless the huntsman is an arsehole and tell him you will be hours just to get him to feck your there because you enjoy it first

In Bristol, watching Wunderhorse tonight, this band is worth a listen lads, quite an old fashioned/raw sound for a young band... With my youngest she got me into them ..

Will cut ours again at least once more. Planted over 100 Tete -a-Tete mini daffs and about 50 crocuses bloody back aching job lol. Cheers Arry

My retired next door neighbour cuts mine. Which is nice. But the trade off is I have to put right all his bodged DIY projects

Nice dog. This is my Wheaten/Bull terrier mix.

No just done mine this week cut all the bushes back cut the grass hopefully that’s it and I’m hoping to move by next spring so could be the last time at this property, I feel your pain lol

Out Foraging did get a feed but more stuff I didn't take. This striking mushroom stood out. Probably "The Sickener" Poisonous. "The Stinking Dappling" Poisonous. This is supposed to be rare. "Black Tooth" inedible. Possibly "The Blusher" edible BUT possible "The Panther Cap" Deadly so I never take them. Then this one a Bolete but I don't recognise it so I left it. Cheers Arry

it's on the sea front at Swansea,been there for three days,very tame, you can get within 6 feet of it

You've never heard of Terry Waite? Charts...grasshoppers education is far from complete... Lol

Brilliant pics mate i have never seen one in the wild and if i had been near to Wales i would have been on my way to see it.

Farmer just dropped me another bottle in to try , this time a home brew apple wine . Should be nice

Taken from Google .. Non-European countries are still allowed to take part in Eurovision if they become a member of the EBU, the organiser behind the event. This means that countries such as Israel, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Australia are allowed to compete.

I mostly take mine off as they serve no purpose for me . When I am hunting I hold the catty with a ball in the pouch in my finger and thumb and a couple of bottom fingers round frame so it is always loaded and if there is anybody about I hold it like that in my pocket. So when not in use it’s firmly zipped up in my pocket. So I have no use for a lanyard and they just get in the way really . Just look pleasing to me really.

Dog rescued after being trapped in rock crevice for eight days METRO.CO.UK It is a miracle for Rose the dog! Cheers Arry

Seen the videos on Instagram....well done to all involved...looked a pig of a dig

Reform UK has just won a council by election with a 40% swing from Labour ! Only a councillor, but a sign of things to come ? Cheers.

I don’t know if it is in fact a secret ?…..I’d have thought being a traitorous, power hungry, queer, lunatic, corporate Uncle Tom is probably a pre-requisite for even joining the two main party's these days !!

Four of my favourite real ales. Be having a few tonight 44 years anniversary. Cheers Arry

Unless you know somebody to vouch for you its hard , You might not be who you say you are , Or once youve been out you might poach the ground . Better to start off beating and meet folk that way

I was thinking about this earlier,would be a decent cheap fishing holiday,easy to organise/book with huge amounts of fish.
