    I get Talking Pictures on free view channel 082. Had not noticed they were showing this. Thanks for the heads up

    You look more like "the Management". Meant as a compliment

    I used to love that programme, half on hour of pure joy and escapism. I different world to now in many ways but a different world to me back then living on a council estate. A world that I desperately wanted to live in.

    I spotted this at the back of house today. From a distance thought it was a collard dove but too big and obviously no collar, then thought woodie but obviously not. There are a lot of both species around. Is it just a feral or, and this is what interested me, possibly some kind of hybrid? The size of a feral, smaller and more lightly built than a woodie.

    One of the breeds of dog that I dislike. An ignorant dislike I admit as I've never seen examples properly working or in the hands of knowledgeable owners. The only ones I have seen have been owned by clueless fuckwits and was not impressed. Not the dog's or fault of the breed. Still don't see the need for them in the British Isles though as working dogs. But there may be a need for them if the big cats start to kick off.

    Pits, quarries, even landfill sites quickly became overtaken by nature: flora and fauna. Great places to hunt and more or less be left alone. But so many got designed and landscaped and made accessible and more attractive to the general public. And the flora and fauna disappear as quickly as it appeared.

    That is a smart looking dog! From following the posts on here I assume there's beagle and other stuff in there and obviously your dogs are serious workers not bred for looks, and I have no idea what size he is, but I would be tempted to put him in a Russell class at a show just for the craic Maybe a little deep in the chest for a terrier but has got lovely conformation, colour and presence. Stunning.

    Not that I agree with free entry but I'd be more concerned in case any of them visited Stonehenge and then decided to move in. A few large tarps across the ringing stones and happy days.

    I commute into Newcastle from south of the Tyne most week days, but I'm not a Mackem, deviating my route depending on volume of traffic and the latest road works, and have noticed this. Along the roads into Gateshead a none white face was a rarity, now it is 50/50 or so. Only in the last 2 year, but constantly increases. Kids, God bless them, standing at bus shelters off to school tend to be none white. Passing schools when parents are escorting their kids, most in traditional dress from various countries. Many of the white people I see on the commute back appear to be those sorts with addicti

    Preaching to the choir here but no British government is going to attempt to fix that which we know is broken, but worse, this lot are going to fix things that are not broken. The political elite, and fair play to them they did the graft to get into positions of power, just regard us as ignorant children that lack the intellect to know what is good for us and so they make the decisions for the betterment of us all. I think that is the basic ethos of the EU, and we are once again under the control of that political elite now more so than ever. Hey ho, off to France/Spain/Italy/Canada we go

    Hinnie was in common use in conversations or greetings when I was growing up. Did it originally come from a word for a female donkey? Heard gallowa used not long ago in a slightly surreal setting. Meeting up with an old friend and hunting partner for a pint and when I got there he was sitting deep in conversation with a beautiful African American girl. Turns out she was a friend of my nephew and an equine vet, they had met at RVC. My mate and this young lady shared an interest in all things horsey and it was odd to see her fascinated by his tales and knowledge of gallowa's, as he was calling t

    He watched with glee while your kings and queens , fought for 10 decades for the Gods they made, pleased to meet him, we guess his name.

    Got the text today from a friend who sorts me out with this sort of thing. Thought "here we go"... but read the text, tickets for the Cult at Newcastle City Hall in October, do you want them? Bollocks, but wanted the tickets. Must try harder.

    You're mam living vicariously through yourself, or trying to? Best intentions with your sister but dealt with in the wrong way? Fishing, shooting and out and about in nature though, it has kept a lot of us sane and still does.

    A glass half full or a glass half empty? Not really bothered... I've got another bottle. RIP Sean Lock.

    I really enjoyed watching Jack Grealish playing tonight. Not liked so much since he joined Man City just stuck on the wing reduced to trying win free kicks. Watched the game with a Villa friend who said that tonight that was more of his position at Villa. No need for anyone else on the left wing anyway other than the superb Anthony Gordon. Still a little ring rusty after the summer but what a player man. Love the kid.

    We did manage to land Sir Ranulph Fiennes 1 year who agreed to do a talk for far less than his labour norms. It was genuine charity stuff, for 2 good causes. John Parret was good 1 year, Andre Agassi died a death, Nookie Bear was hands down the best, far better than Roger De Courcey.

    1 of them's from Whitley Bay, can't remember which and obviously not their real names. My brother in law used to try and tap him (not in a SAS way obviously) every year when he was doing fund raising sportsman's dinners but his fees were extortionate

    The vandalised painting, I suppose it is still street art? Possibly more honest than the work of the original artist? If you paint on walls rather than canvas only to be expected. I'm sure "B(W)anksy" doesn't mind

    It does really depend on what you want to catch, where it is, and how you want to catch it? Collies and terriers will catch almost everything. If you want it done more quickly get a whippet or a greyhound.

    A gallon of 4 star? With price of petrol these days it would have been cheaper to get her whacked.

    Not a bad prediction even if I do say so myself. OK, if you were to be pedantic Isak did not get his hat trick but only because he didn't score 3 goals, Gordon did not score but how was I to know that he would be played on the right? What I meant was the left winger would score a goal, in this instance Harvey Barnes. Osula did not score but in my defence he didn't get on the pitch. And Spurs only conceded 1 goal, I was convinced BDB was going to score 2 own goals. Looking forward to the England game on Saturday, a chance for Gordon to show the country what a pillock Southgate was in the
