Maybe mate,probably fathom and penguin and suchlike,that’s when he teamed up with Hancock to brand-name collie Lurchers.

It was balaam and Balak from the bible,I think plummer called them balaam and Barak.Eye catching dogs but probably also-rans as a dynasty was being founded,if they were decent dogs they would have been woven into the tale instead of being mentioned in passing.

My kids just sent me these,hopefully meeting him this weekend if I can get a flight for some Coho salmon fishing as the run has started. -
No mate,shouldn’t be hard to find out I guess.

Good call,I thought he taught English as he had a love of literature,but you might actually be right.I went to his school once,forest comprehensive I think it was?in Walsall.I was a kid and got the National Express down for believe it or not a rat hunting talk,Hancock was there,and mick mansbridge the shooting news ferreting columnist who a few years later had an armed siege with police.

I used to catch a lot of salmon as a school kid,always a ready market for it,I saved my cash under a floorboard in my bedroom.I bought a folding pedretti .410 for roosting pheasants,when I first got it I was messing around in my bedroom with it when BANG into the floorboards inches from my foot,I sometimes remember that as it really shook me up at the time,kids and gun safety.

Take the book from the shelf,nonchalantly look left,right,then left again then slip the book into your school blazer inside “Shoplifting” pocket or your school haversack,depart library with your “Treasure” #booktheft101 One thing I have wondered,what was he a Dr of?

Vigo Mortensen,probably his best performance along with A History of Violence,but a very dark film.

He was a wordsmith par excellence,right place right time for those of us who needed inspiration as kids.
