    Looks fit as F. Pictures can be deceptive but some Bulldog blood in there?

    I thought I'd discovered a new hybrid wild species Jesus, probably shot many in the past and put them in the ferret food/dumped feral pile. Not really shooting these days but taking more interest in the birds that I see when just walking the dog. The feathered variety.

    On sites Jocks call a chase a raggle, and a nogging a dwang.

    Not one for making more laws but thought for awhile now that provisional licence holders should only be allowed on public roads driving a dual control vehicle. FFS half the people on roads with licences cannot drive properly these days. Contradicting myself, inducted 2, 16 year old apprentice sparks today and emphasised the importance of getting mobile as soon as possible. With the cost of lessons and more importantly insurance once they pass the test, poor kids have got no chance. Or at least one hell of a lot more difficult for them than when I was their age. Many of us learned our ski

    Probably the worst attempt at Geordie ever, apart on sites working darn sarf, we could do theirs but they couldn't do northern. Still a funny clip though despite the poor accent.

    In Arthur's case yes, Americans would confuse a Geordie accent with an Irish accent. I have have been assumed to be Irish, Welsh, Australian and "incoherently drunk" in other English speaking countries. That's just the way I speak. Oh, and stupid, but that's just in England

    Yes. I have searched for those documents but to date unsuccessful. They must be out there somewhere. 101 Society. The Americans used to have a yearly convention for the veterans. The British not so much.

    Way off topic but the Chindits always strike a note with me. An old chap that I became friends with, Arthur "Mick" Casey. He was one of them. I wrote about him on here a few years ago but got shot down as I referenced USA WW11 special forces, apparently the USA special forces had no involvement in Burma? Long story short an old chap used walk his Jack Russell on land where we had our gardens and there was still a few rabbits and hares etc. Everyone tried to avoid him because he could talk the hind legs off. Always about the land we were on, he lived there before it became a council estate

    Living in place where you want to live, on your own land and answerable to no one, providing for family... that's winning at life!

    It was the all black eye that confused me as much as the plumage. Must have seen hundreds before and never noticed it.

    Watched Wolves v Newcastle on TV and however pleased I am to win 3 points when not playing particularly well to go up to joint 2nd on points I still have a gripe with my Victor Meldrew hat on. Replays of actions that lead to a set piece being shown and by the time the director goes back to the live action the set piece has already been played. These people will be getting paid many £1000's and yet are so incompetent at their jobs. And commentators talking shite about what happened when the sides last met 6 month ago, or 6 years ago, or 60 years ago as though it has any relevance on the game t

    The Italian Job re-make. Being lazy and seen it before but was on the normal tele. Not as good as the original of course but without Michael Cain or Noel Coward how could it be? Got Charlize Theron and Mini Coopers though, what's not to like about that? Spotted something this time though, most of the footage shows single exhaust tail piped Coopers, a few shots have twin exhaust Cooper S's or more likely JCW's. An enjoyable romp though. And Charlize Theron.

    Bless you my son. Good night, I need to try and figure out how to record tomorrow's Out of Town on Talking Pictures.
  14. eastcoast
    Say 3 Hail Mary's and a good act of contrition and we'll draw a line under this unsavoury episode.
  15. eastcoast
    Well, if that happens then you have only yourself to blame. Taking responsibility for ones actions is the only way that we grow.
  16. eastcoast
    That's got nice "old fashioned" look to it. Hope he does well for you.
  17. eastcoast
    How rude. I am so offended.
  18. eastcoast
    I get Talking Pictures on free view channel 082. Had not noticed they were showing this. Thanks for the heads up
  19. eastcoast
    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.

    be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm!

    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.
