I read A Kestrel For A Knave a couple of weeks ago, probably nearly 40 years after I first read it. I remember like it was yesterday getting it from the library, after watching Kes for the first time. Still a good wee read, and this time round brought loads of nostalgia from reading it a a kid, but also remembering my misspent youth, walking through woods and along hedgerows nesting, and scanning the skies for Kestrels (realistically the only raptor I was likely to see local).

Must have been severely traumatised or a total whacko. Surely after decades of not seeing the enemy you’d either think, maybe these farmers are right and the war is over…, or I’m not even in this fight, might as well get to fcuk out of here and see where all the action is. Hardly serving your country, hiding in the woods for 30 years. -
RIP Paul Ryder

Great achievement building the highest stack of pallets in history ? Don’t see what all the fuss is about mind. Burning effigies of catholics, pictures of nationalist MP’s, Palestine flags, and banners reading ‘kill all taigs’ is centuries old culture right? Like the anti catholic marches in Scotland they’re a fcuking abomination in the 21st century.., and the majority of Scottish society find the whole thing cringeworthy…, and me personally I find it utterly cowardly. I’m not catholic, but know many who are, including some family, and have never felt any compulsion to remind them of a battle -
My prediction is that it’ll get much, much worse in the next couple of decades. Youngsters (in general) now won’t have the standard of living their parents had, but are conditioned to believe they can have it all…, so have a huge disappointment round the corner. A generation of kids coming up who have poor social skills, no resilience, and a belief that if anyone is mean to them, or if they ‘feel offended’ in any way, then the world should be made to apologise. Any study of human nature in the millennia we’ve inhabited this planet will tell you that can’t be sustained. I think high bridge

If he’d done nothing except for his role as Sonny in The Godfather, then he’s still died a legend. RIP

Bulgaria.., it’s the future Rodney.

In Antalya just now. Beautiful in places, but wouldn’t want to live here. Always fancied retiring to somewhere in the med, maybe Greece or Cyprus. Got woken at dawn this morning by some fcuker wailing that it was time to get up and pray.., for a minute I thought I was in Bradford. Second time I’ve been to one of these all inc. resorts. There’s a lot to like, but probably 95+% Russians (guests & staff), that’s the downside. Guess we’d consider them rude & impolite, but suppose its just their way. Not nice to be around though.

Don’t see him leaving anytime soon. Proved that no amount of reprehensible behaviour, breaking the ministerial code and generally letting down the electorate, is enough for him to do the decent thing. I predict this’ll only end after ‘big dog’ takes hostages, a three day siege, tense negotiations which will ultimately fail, and the storming of No. 10 where Johnson and his captives all die in a hail of bullets. At least that’s how I hope it ends.

My blood boils when I watch some of these car chases in the UK.., fcukin halfwits doing 80mph through a town in broad daylight trying to outrun the police…, and then they get a ban and poxy suspended sentence if they actually get caught. I’d like to see UK coppers riddle a car with bullets for taking off.., might make it a lot less frequent occurrence.

One of my favourite albums of the nineties, or maybe ever.

Think it could be legit, some big nine year olds, and power to weight feasible imo, and with good technique? That said, it wouldn’t be my daughter. I’ve always stopped mine picking up heavy weights, be it helping move slabs in the garden, or lifting dumbbells in the garage. No way I’d want them getting a bad back injury at a young age, it could fcuk them up for life.

Lynx yes, wolves no. Can’t see what harm it would do…, apparently there’s already a healthy population of big cats living in the UK. ?

Apparently 25 years since this was released. Where did it go. Timeless track though.

Opinions and ar$eholes eh. On the face of it, it looks like he got what he deserved, but I don’t like judging these things with no real context. Seen a lot of doormen take total liberties with people in the past. Who knows why the guy was so aggravated? Maybe someone in the millions of comments condoning what Francis done? I agree with Wilf, I don’t think it was necessary, and I’d suggest that a heavyweight boxer chinning a guy half his size, might be looked upon as excessive use of force.., whether he did or didn’t deserve it.

Maybe the sentences make them more valuable as currency in any prisoner swaps or negotiations. Or maybe Russia will say it’s not our court, but fcuk the UK for sending all the hardware that’s killed thousands of Russian troops, and execute the two. Not a lot the UK govt can do about it imo.

A great uncle of mine was in the engineers during the landings. He suffered what they’d call nowadays ‘life changing injuries’, sometime after landing. I remember as a kid at family gatherings, no-one really spoke about it, and if they did, it was always in hushed tones away from him. I certainly don’t remember there being much talk of heroism and glorious victory, just sympathy for what he’d gone through. Shortly before he died he did speak about his experiences with an uncle. His story was fascinating, but at the same time, probably typical of what many of those young men did. Although I onl

I came across my dad’s old gear clearing his house after he died a few years back, a lot of which came from my great uncle, and which included about four baccy tins full of these old spinners. Pretty sure I just binned them. Wish I’d hung onto them now.

Been out and about the last few days and don’t think I’ve seen a bit of bunting or flag flying. Think there were only a handful of street parties organised, mostly in Glasgow. I know that’ll offend some on here, and maybe provoke the usual verbal disdain for us Scots from the usual quarters, but there is genuinely very little visible evidence that anyone up here gives a toss. Nothing ‘anti’…, just apathy.

Good luck and fair play for having the balls to make the change. More people I know talk about it than ever do it. Agree with comments on burning bridges. I try never to do that, might feel good at the time, but you never know what’s round the corner.

You could feel like you’re going mad as a box of frogs.., ten minutes on here and you feel like one of the sanest people going about. Stick about mate, you’re always good value ?? And get well soon.

Clark McGhie’s wild country. Think he keeps an eye on country sport outside of Oz, so g’day Clark, if you happen to look in and see this.
