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

That's the ticket... make love not war

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

Are we counting Facebook friends?

Probably getting a better start growing up on the banks of the St. John's River than the Wear or the Tyne. Congratulations.

After re-watching SAS Rouge Heroes had a look to see if the soundtrack is on Spotify, and it is. A great driving playlist with some of the best British rock tracks of all time with a few WTF? for passengers. Noel Coward between Motorhead and Sham '69, Arthur Askey and Vera Lyn together with Stiff Little Fingers and AC/DC. For those of a certain age.

Banter. I have always struggled to tie down exactly why I find "banter" so annoying. And what is banter? Trying to watch LFC v ATM and listening to the commentary of "Fletch" and McCoist it has just dawned on me, banter is what happens when people have no craic.

I used to own rare vintage bottle that I kept for years, to open on a special occasion. Looked for it when Newcastle won the League Cup but turns out someone had thrown it out years ago on account of it being 20+ years past its best before date. N.B. turn head to left to view pictures.

That's good to know Jossa. I remember at one of the few meetings that I attended at Shotley Bridge club as a relatively young clueless fukwit, as apposed to now being a relatively old clueless fukwit, and Mr.Winch announcing that the RSPCA had returned the club's cheque. A donation was given to them annually from the club. Reason being, they can longer be associated with any organisation that is involved with the use of hunting with dogs. It seemed ridiculous at the time. Little did we know that times were a changing.

Great start for Nick Woltemade at Newcastle. Played his first game, scored his first goal, won the game. I have heard that Virgil Van Dijk has already been on phone to him.

Handle with care... seriously, there's some serious voodoo bad shit that they put in that stuff that can a turn a good man bad, seen it happen

I commented on the display of Union Flags last week on route to visiting the parents. Well, it's that day again and the flags are still there. It just looks so so strange. The last time that I seen such a display was shortly after the UK left the EU and I needed a dog passport to travel to Republic of Ireland with a dog. Did not have a passport so just drove over via NI. The sat nav took me to Carrickfurgus, resplendent in red, white, and blue. Nice people and pointed me in the direction of Carrick-on-Shannon. These flags, the ones in my pictures taken today, they're all at half mast an

Are you sure? Sounds more like the KC stuff.

The Jack Russell that attacked your trousers, out of interest, do you know if it was KC registered?

I am posting on politics, Jesus Christ, I drove from home to my parents "home" today, only a few miles. Passed through a place that I know well and when stopped at one of the many road works spotted the Union Flags on lamp posts. Left and right side of the road. For at least a mile. No idea who put them there but obviously not kids even though half of the flags were upside down. Strange days indeed.

Ironically did she not help to bring Boris down over the idiotic drinks during lockdown thing? The country was sinking, the country is sinking, and all they care about is which of them is control of it all. Counting the deckchairs when the ship is sinking and making sure that the deckchairs are made from a responsibly sourced material and painted in rainbow colours.

A perfect example of someone who had one ambition in life, to become a politician. She not only achieved that ambition but went all the way to the top. And started to run a country. But has no practical experience of even running a small business let alone a country. Perhaps posting CV's should become standard when these idiots stand for office and the voters read them?

Don't give up KC. At least you have a mrs, and a sofa, chin up bonny lad.

I have always found the KC Russell thing interesting simply because it happened in my lifetime. Lakelands, Seayhams, Borders and Fox terrier etc had long since been registered before my time. I remember the heated debates in letter sections of various sporting periodicals arguing the pros and cons. To my mind the terrier that they wanted to register and close the gene pool on was the same type of dog that was registered as a Fox Terrier early days, and that didn't pan too well in regard to preserving the "breed". Difficult not to be cynical in regard to the pro camp being motivated by £ signs.

No good can ever come from a "type" becoming a "breed" when registered with the Kennel Club. Some gundog breeds, OK, but their jobs are not that demanding. I do not know of anyone winning money betting on a KC reg Greyhound. Digging dogs being all shapes and sizes? Shapes I would disagree with but conforming to Russell type with variation of size is OK. KC dogs must conform to the written breed standard, so only ideal showing size terriers should exist? Even the bitches would be too big in some places. Adding/buying terriers from another terrierman? It's called development. Not pos
