    Put your dog in the boot and he's overjoyed to see you when reach the destination and let him out. Try that with the wife and it's nothing but winge, winge, winge.

    I listened to Sinead O'Conner's Remberings recently. Jesus Christ, poor child, more sinned against than a sinner in my opinion. Anyway, a singing coach that she went to told her that you have to sing in your own accent to properly sing a song. Easier said than done I would imagine for someone who had the world at her feet, pop star record company sort of thing. Listening to her voice I get it. Same with lots of traditional Irish or British music. Punk was similar in my opinion. Off on a tangent in Remberings, a very devout person she was, she said God existed before religion, religi

    Reading that reminded me of the comedian Brendan Healy: Have you noticed that wherever you go in the world you find a Geordie? Now, don't get me wrong, I love our accent, but if I'm being honest there are times I'd be a bit worried if I heard a Geordie accent; "norse, scalpel... " or "yiz all alreet? This is ye captain speakin, the day wi ganna be flying it aboot 38 thoosand feet... "

    Back in day, the day being 1980's is it was not unusual for dog lads to keep odd things in a freezer, some common some not so common. Everyone was skint and anything that could be done to earn a few bob was done. In our "community" a few lads had taught themselves the art of taxidermy by stealing books from the library. Why they did not just join the library and borrow the books I never understood but that was just how things were done. Most dog lads seemed have houses full of stuffed animals back then. Not to my taste but I could appreciate the finer works however some were hilariously b

    I did once see a bob cat or lynx that had been caught in Hawick, Scotland. It was in a chest freezer when I saw it. Along with many adders. The adders were caught in the wild then put in bottles alive, transported home, then put in the freezer to kill them. Then sold on to be stuffed. The contorted shapes of those frozen adders bothered me.

    This big cat thing, FFS! There have been and are big cats in the wild in GB. Are there breeding populations, don't be daft.

    You Liverpool Astanley? New unproven manager. An ageing squad. See yous flirting with relegation next season if I'm being honest.

    I've placed my 4 usual bets, the only ones that I put on with a bookie. Newcastle to win the league, Newcastle to win the FA Cup, Newcastle to win League Cup and an accumulator of all 3. Worst odds they've given me it 20 odd year!

    I have zero knowledge and have never tried to gain any knowledge of the Banksy enigma/art movement... but the monkeys, brilliant piece of art! Love it!

    EPL starts next week. How best to punish the despised white working class males that you haven't locked up? Take their beloved football from them, postpone all games for "security concerns", if anyone else steps out of line.I would image plans are being made already.

    Halcyon days. Strange days now.

    Was that the day dwarf throwing was invented? Ozzy Osbourne lays claims.

    The last time it kicked off in Newcastle was in protest at Kenny Dalglish only getting us a 2nd place finish in the league. I remember that lass on top a phone box dropping her knickers. May have dodge over.

    I've never been a massive fan of Chinese cuisine. I can eat it no problem, and enjoy it, just not in the top 5. Love their duck dishes though.

    Trouble being predicted in Newcastle upon Tyne and surrounding areas north of the Tyne tonight. Receiving messages from concerned family members. A niece's office adjoined to a police station got closed mid-day.

    Things you would notice come September, ripe fruit on bramble, early morning frosts, nettles dying back, time for ferrets as the rabbits would have stopped breeding and time for terriers with the chance of finding a fox to ground. The seasons have changed.

    I turned everything off early hours of Saturday morning and so do not know if this comment as already been made, but... before switching things off media reporters, senior police officers and politicians were all commenting on how disgraceful the recent events on the streets of our county are and it will be stamped out. OK. But not one of them has said "OK, shocking and unacceptable but why has it happened?" That's the thing that I find shocking. All down to "right wing extremists", nothing to see here.

    Seemed strange today seeing ripe blackberry fruit. It could be, and probably is, just something I've never noticed before but odd at the beginning of August. Never noticed them in the past until September.

    It wasn't Charles II who cut off his dad's head though was it? It was a government who f****d things up. The power, the real power lay with the army, as it always does. And the army made the decision to let Charles II to land his piss poor army and gave him his crown back. The British army were more or less formed that day, and the rest is history.
