    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.

    Say 3 Hail Mary's and a good act of contrition and we'll draw a line under this unsavoury episode.

    Well, if that happens then you have only yourself to blame. Taking responsibility for ones actions is the only way that we grow.

    That's got nice "old fashioned" look to it. Hope he does well for you.

    How rude. I am so offended.

    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

    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.
