Mick? Geordie? Ironic?

The above photo was taken over 60 years ago. Seems like yesterday. Time seems to go quicker and quicker.

It was on every front page here Mack. The BBC Director General says he cannot see a way back for him at the BBC. I don't think he gets it. "No room here for paedos of any kind " would have been more like it, but perhaps not accurate.

Got it in one.lol

It will be Alexa next. My brother in law has worked on computers since their inception and won't have one in the house.He's not particularly conspiratorial in his mindset either. I've just come off the phone to BT. They are changing my landline to Digital and wanted my permission to monitor all my digital activity " to improve the service". I declined. Orwell underestimated Big Brother's potential.

If only I were closer as they say, I'd give you a hand..strictly labouring. Useless as a handyman. I like messing about with projects like that though. A bloke up the road from me bought a dilapidated cottage. He had no skills, just learned them as he went along. I give him a hand a few hours a week. I enjoy watching it take shape. Amazing what you can do with a bit of sweat and determination.

My post was an obvious joke mate. I didn't insinuate anything other than we have the same opinions on some ( many) things but we often appear at loggerheads.

Too much GB news there mate. Money rules. There's no real left in this country. Not even a Labour party. No real representation of ordinary Joe. There's a bunch of liberal, pinko, hypocrites who like to sound 'right on' and pious, but when push comes to shove, they shaft ordinary folk. Starmer is portrayed as a dangerous leftie. My arse! He's a bootlicking, money grubbing,treacherous establishment man. We are on our own. We are just nuisances, especially pensioners. We have outlived our usefulness and cost too much in state pension benefits and NHS use.

Twenty degrees. Just right. Forecast all week. I'm spending the week gardening. Somebody said expect an Indian summer and here it is. Enjoy.

There's a lot of dangerous lefties and insurgents on here. I have filed a report to the thought police. Expect a visit.

A mate of mine sent me a class photo I hadn't seen for 50 years. I think it was a passing out ceremony for something to do with the Catholic Church. A lot of the lads on the photo are dead, did jail time or had horrible lives.The lad on the left was a brilliant footballer and scrapper. He had a spell as a pro boxer. The church bought us football boots and shirts. And the teacher told us how to play. In my case, Mark, Tackle .Head Pass. Nothing else. Lol. The priest used to come and give us pep talks. " You are representing your school, your religion etc. We used to go out fired up. I was wel

Mate, . .youre the born wanderer. You must have travelled more miles than Marco Polo. You should have' Just passing through' written on your gravestone. I used to fancy myself as a nomadic gunslinger in the wild west or the 'littlest hobo'. But I read, much to my disappointment, that nomadic gunslingers didn't really exist. They were a Hollywood creation. And if I were a stray alsation, I'd probably end up in the pound and get put down.

I believe in random events influencing lives. We are just pinballs bouncing off corners. Something happens along the way which dictate or change your whole life. Often you can be enjoying life and then an event happens, maybe a personal tragedy, which changes how you view your life. It's chaos. You can plan all you want, but random events have more influence on your life than a million life plans imo. The biggest equaliser is your health. If you lose that you lose everything. If you're lucky with your partner and your health, it's as good as winning the lottery. A guy once told me

And would you walk them?

120. From Salford to Scotland. Best move I ever made. I have very fond memories of childhood Salford. The thought of having to live there now, or any inner city area, fills me with dread.

'The only requirement for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing'. Those animals were not the only guilty ones. Everybody else who saw it and did nothing were also guilty. Social workers, police, children's home staff and the parents of the kids who had ended up in care. Those girls were failed by everybody. They were viewed as dirt.....slags, by people who should have known better. Yes I know a small minority of the girls came from caring homes, but the vast majority were disturbed, neglected kids and easy prey for the paedos. I think some of the professionals who looked af

You need to get a billy can to complete the collection

Me too, there were a few shops in Manchester. I amassed a collection of bayonets, knives, water carriers, army belts with slots for bullets and my prized possession an Amercian brown leather flight jacket. I lent it to a mate and he lent it somebody else and I never got it back. The Exchange and Mart was good for ex military stuff.

The Edinburgh accent is very refined. Sex is what carries coal. Scottish joke.......You know it's cold in Edinburgh if the Edinburgh lawyers and businessmen have got their hands in their pockets, ...........instead of someone else's.

I was in Gran Canaria last year and a 'lookie lookie' illegal immigrant from the desert somewhere was flogging bracelets and football scarfs. He spoke amazing English and was asking for good openers to approach tourists from different parts of the UK. So I said if if you see any Geordies say " Shearer ". If you see any Celtic supporters say " the only king Billy is Billy Mc Neil". If you see any Rangers supporters say "f**k off ya blue nosed b*****d".

I love listening to accents. The only ones I'm not partial to are the Belfast accent. They always seen to be SHOUTING some fundamentalist religious crap and the Birmingham accent, it seems so slow and slightly re...tarde...ed. lol People think there's only one Scottish accent. In fact there's dozens. The same is true of Ireland.

Yes, there's an image in my post. Etsy.com It's a well battered one. The same as my dad's.

In Cumbria it's not 'snap' it's 'bait'. "Have you got your bait marra?" Means...Have you got your sandwiches mate?

etsy.com WWW.ETSY.COM Who is old enough to remember them? They were used to brew and drink tea from. All working men from my neck of the woods had them in the 50s. My dad was a docker and all dockers had the same unofficial uniform. A black Raleigh bike, a gaberdine overcoat ,either worn or folded over the handlebars, a cloth cap and a white scarf tied in a knot. Pride of place was the billy can which used to swing from the bikes handlebars. I remember one Saturday I 'borrowed' my dad's billy can to hopefully bring back frogs and newts. Me and my mate were embarking
