Cool people, party animals," Anarchists", non-conformists, people who danced to their own drum and lived life to the full... who now find themselves in their 60's without a pot to piss in and expect others to help them out.

Local lads/English? Managers and "back room staff" are fecked. The are either given players in situations that they may have no choice, or scout their own and have to justify it. Transfer fees and wages must be justified or you are not doing your job, and are sacked. Giving an under 21 a start in an EPL game and you lose the game? Stick with him and you lose another game... not only the owners but often the supporters want the manager's blood. Stability within the club is the only way it can work. Have a competent manager, have owners who understand the game and trust the people that the

That's a shame but sure she was given the opportunity to live life to the full and had a quality of life that most dogs do not get. RIP Brenn.

Reminded of when I was briefly in the Cubs. An older cousin had moved up into the Scouts and he gave me his green jumper covered in merit badges. I ignored advice to remove the stitched on badges and turned up wearing it. The Akela took me to one side and explained why the merit badges must be removed. Fair enough but I didn't like his attitude. Turned up the following week still wearing the badges and that was the end of my time in Cubs.

Can't say I'm impressed with certain vocal sections of Newcastle "supporters" recently. The last 5 years have been living in dream land. Signing good players, existing players improving massively, qualifying for Champions League twice and giving a good account of ourselves both times (still in it this season), and the icing on the cake winning a cup. Fans, players, manager and owners in harmony. Now reality has kicked in in what was always going to be a long term project. Now we get some "supporters" throwing their toys out of the pram because we are on a bad run. Pathetic!

Going off on a tangent here, there was massive interest in supposed working Bedlingtons amongst certain types in late '80's/early '90's. A wall eyed merle collie cross lurcher completed the look. Add a flat cap, Barbour jacket and Hunter wellies and you were in the club. Most that I seen were standard KC show and pet stuff with different haircuts. All Gutchcommon/Rillington of course but the pedigrees I seen, no they were not. A lad who lived close to me had a "breeding pair". The dog was approx 19" TTS. Despite his height and racy build was slower in a foot race than my conventionally si

You would struggle to find a human being in Bedlington working now.

I never voted until recent years, much to the chagrin of my Geordie granddad and uncles. But they understood. Unlike some in the family who have had the benefit of an university education, they are still Labour without any questions living in their ivory towers. 1st time I voted was for Boris, simply because the alternative was Jeremy. The last time I voted Reform and will do again, if I vote (with my uncle's words ringing in my ears, we fought for for it, do not waste it! Reason being? In my lifetime those in power, most particular Labour, have been people fortunate to have b

Lets See Them Whippets, Coarsing, Racing, Working
eastcoast replied to brenner's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Love that. The thing that has always fascinated me about whippets is how lads and lasses can breed so much ability into such small dogs. Never understood the modern trend with KC "field" dogs breeding them bigger and bigger. Each to their own of course but there comes a point when it aint a whippet, even if the "papers" prove otherwise. -
Let's See Your Phone Shots !!

Looked up from doing the dishes and seen this chap sitting on my garden gate, made my day. Note to self: refill bird feeders -
Single stroke pneumatic technology? Beautiful but flawed.

Roman Holiday, Audrey Hepburn & Gregory Peck. Watched when sitting in the lounge of a care home, as a visitor, not quite resident status yet. Wow! What a great film.

Waiting for VAR to make the call LOL. I'll get me coat. -
WW111 on the horizon? Armageddon and the planet destroyed? Just when I was getting all my ducks in a line and easing into early retirement... bloody typical!

At 1st glance at the top picture thought it was a snapshot from an EPL game and a player had gone down in the 18 yard box. -
. But that's kind of my point. A style thing? Elanga wears the same on the opposite wing of course. Possibly something they thought would look good when playing together? I would like to see him forget about haircuts, get a No.1 and just play football.

When I noticed that you had quoted my post WILF I was expecting a reminder of my critical rant against Anthony Gordon a while back It was because I rate the lad so much and some of his drive and fight seemed to have waned, but I need to practice what I preach, he's only human.

The way people, mostly "journalists", are commenting on how NUFC are currently doing sums up the stupidity of the modern professional game in England. As a Newcastle fan I have often been pinching myself during the last 4 years to make sure it is not a dream. Now we are losing the sort of games that we had been winning, often by fine margins in the 1st half in not getting enough goals to put the game to bed. The reaction? Howe will be sacked soon. Players who have been lighting up the EPL for the last 4 years are no longer good enough. What utter bollocks! Going from relegation fodder to

Your brother and sister sound pretty cool Mr. Mitre, I used to copy the Viz cartoons also. Nobody liked it until I started getting OK at it, then was told it's OK but stop drawing dogs!

Technically still a hound though TT, LOL. Just something in the crowd that took my eye. Even though a KC Dachshund and not worked or working bred, still looked every inch the "badger dog".

Looking forward to reading this. No doubt will be a reminder of a time before we became a nation of pussies... present company excepted.
