Doing a job in Dumfries once and had someone from Birmingham working with me. He was a canny lad but a bit of a hothead and quick to lose his cool. There was always the local free adds paper on site. As it covered all of Dumfries and Galloway many of the sellers were farmers advertising various vehicles and bits of agricultural machinery. The days before everyone had mobiles and the adds often ended with "If I miss your call leave a message and phone number." I would sometimes ring these up and in my best Brummy accent leave a message and this lad's number. In the hotel bar he would get a

That is a shame. I did not know him but fair to say he played a part in the development of some of the modern working types, white and coloured, that we have today and left a legacy. R.I.P.

Pictures taken standing at my back door after seeing a flash of grey. Came out for the bait within 5 minutes. There was a time that I would be counting down the minutes to the sun going down. A saucer with peanut butter on it, led candles on either side of the saucer (a big improvement on a car indicator lamp wired up to 12V battery,) then sat at the other end of the garden with .22 Daystate PH6. However, it looks rather cute :-), definitely getting old and soft. Him/her and its siblings will all die from lead poisoning tonight all the same though.

I was once invited to the necrophilliac society's Christmas party. Didn't stay long, the place was like a morgue.

England last night - Fair to assume Tuchel likes Anthony Gordon. Starting on the left and even moved him centre rather than taking him off to get a look at Rashford. Pointless crying over spilt milk but I still believe that if Southgate had used him properly at the Euros he may have gone out with more of a bang than a whimper. Over the moon for Eliot Anderson getting a run of games. Once in blue moon a club like Newcastle produce one of our own and see him progress to senior England level, fingers crossed. Still stings to see him playing league games for another club though. Support

The irony of the political class' is that they dismiss anyone who's opinion differs from their own as ignorant, and the opinion of those people therefore is irrelevant. Hence the flags, people without a voice trying to be heard.

Way too much red wine that did not have the usual calming effect, resulting in me posting embarrassing comments, embarrassing to me. Better making a dick of oneself on here than in real life I suppose.

Still struggle with this.

The first funeral that I went to as an "adult", I borrowed a really nice suite. 1 size too big. No one really noticed. The few that did notice are still around today and still take the piss at funerals. I would have probably grown into it by now. Wore my own shoes though.
-
Why wear shoes that you cannot afford to own, just to give a false impression to others?

I have just spent all day in the company of people in wheel chairs who have no teeth. Jesus Christ, I need a drink and a listen to good music to recover for next time

Shane lived the rock'n'roll lifestyle and wrote some songs that will be remembered, and had a canny innings all things considered. Working class lads are lost. They walk around site as though they have shit themselves or have a muscular injury, that's the hard man walk. Dare you to make eye contact, and when you do, they crawl into a shell and have no idea how to hold a conversation with someone who is not intimidated by them. Then go home to a lazy fat lass who.

So that's rural Ireland struck off the list of places to enjoy the final 3rd of my life. Sounds like Gateshead! Cheers WILF.

Walked past a grown man standing at a bus stop this morning who was wearing a baseball cap. Grown men wearing baseball caps is a pet hate of mine but get that many like them, each to their own. This was a proper bobby dazzler though, blood red with a black prancing horse logo on it. He was waiting for a bus wearing a Ferrari hat. FFS man!

Dogs just know don't they? Whenever my next door neighbour's brother visits him my dog, who is usually sitting in the bay window, barks his tits off. We've had a few "words" over the years. He used to think it was acceptable to park on my drive which is around the back. He once even parked on my front lawn. Usually when we pass he makes some comment along the lines of "that dog of yours is bad bugger, goes mental every time it sees me" to which I usually reply "aye, he can spot a wrong'n a mile off!"

Are you a lumberjack?

A difficult thing to comment on in text. Seemed like a good man, lived a proper life, and lived to a good age. And then, R.I.P cuz of Mr. jukel123.

A none Christian British family, and Martin is probably 2nd generation immigrant or possible asylum seeker going on horrible gran's' accent. Yet very relatable to and very likeable. In many ways the quintessential middle class English family apart from family Sunday dinner is on a Friday night. An example of how this great country used to work, tolerant and accepting, multi-cultural going back centuries. A civilised society. My favourite episode, when we are introduced to Mr. Morris, nice gran's boyfriend. Wise words from gentile neighbour Jim is he Hitler? Filthy slanders!

A lovely afternoon at a family gathering complete with pizza oven.

I have never really understood the pro argument for killing convicted criminals. I get the just rewards and an eye for an eye part but personally I would rather be killed than spend the rest of my life locked up. Some crimes should be just that, once caught and convicted then they are removed from society and are never given the opportunity to re-offend. No convicted peodophile should ever be released from prison. I don't give a shit if we kill them or not, just do not give them a prison sentence and then release them once that term has been served. Some crimes should be life, locked up until

Beautiful looking dogs. But also I would imagine multi-purpose, for sport and a useful type to have around to keep an eye on things.

That tickled me NEWKID, picked by me then the wife did her bit, as though picking them was the hard part Looks delicious by the way, talented wife!

Relocation of the place to call home is my main objective. I can go anywhere in the world. Not saying that I can go anywhere and live the life of Riley, unless it is Mavis Riley, but have enough to go anywhere and live at least a modest, comfortable life. Out of all the places being considered outside of the UK France looks the most appealing. I came to the realisation that it is only because you get more bang for your buck in rural France than in the UK. But, I love the British Isles. Not the governments or the towns or cities or the people indigenous or alien, but what exists outside of
