A divorced, depressed electrician about to jump off a bridge... been there man. Not the divorced or depressed jumping off a bridge part, but being a spark brings back bad memories. Love the girl in red!

The family are going. I'm snookered at the moment with an old dog but should fate play her card I may well join them.

between flatley and admiration there often flows a river(dance) of contempt

Like I said, I'm proud! Back to the topic...

I was at the estate where I grew up yesterday. There's still a good vets there with some great young lasses who love dogs and more importantly aren't afraid of them. Something which is important when dealing with a tired curmudgeonly old terrier and is becoming increasingly difficult to find these day. Loved this remembrance display! An estate then and now that would no doubt fall into the deprived category. When I lived there everyone was skint but many good families and lack of money did not mean poor quality of life or upbringing. Probably still deprived but still predominantly B

From last year. He is also carrying on the family tradition of Irish dancing. I flatly refused to do it but my sisters and cousins did it. Sorry for going off topic but I'm very proud of my family and how the young kids are being brought up

My great nephew. His mam is very creative and produces most of his costumes for various events from scratch with a few raw materials costing a couple of £'s or re-purposing existing old clothes.That's how young families should do things IMO. And yes, he is Newcastle supporter, I got in early with this one after losing his older brother to Liverpool!

Jack Russell breeding 1970 & back..
eastcoast replied to Evil knievil's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
In response to the pm, Bosun11 flatters and overestimates my knowledge. It is extremely limited to the breeding of Russells that I have owned, primarily blood from the north of England. I do have a few written pedigrees and whereas quality working blood was at times shared by those in the know, and I was never one of those people, none of the names that are mentioned appear in the pedigrees that I have. I read and collect the "dreaded" books, which is no substitute for 1st hand knowledge of course, but again cannot recollect those names or dogs appearing in anything that I have read other -
I get that. Have always found women who covet "diamonds" more interesting than those who are into fitted kitchens. And you pay the price. But not right to target children with that crap... ... however, diamonds hold their value, fitted kitchens need to be updated every few years.

Not a pet hate as such but just something that I seen on TV and thought was disgraceful. An ad for a jewellery retailer. A young kid buying jewellery for their mam, the message being put in kids heads, and possibly feeble minded women, if you love your mam then show it through buying her jewellery. Shocking!

Never really had a 2nd team, and to be honest football took 2nd place to dog sports once into my teens (got barred from going on school trips when I quit the sports teams and was often made to spend games lessons walking around the pitch carrying a medicine ball along with the fat and "delicate" kids as a further punishment ), but if there was a 2nd it would also have been Liverpool. Simply because my mam loved them as her uncle had played for them. Not liked them too much in recent years though.

As an English football fan it is good to see a newly promoted to the EPL club doing well. But why the feck did it have to be Sunderland? I've turned my phone off.

I bought the yearbooks when they came out and do not know if they are still available to buy today. Unfortunately I don't want to sell. I can leave them to you in my will but hopefully I still have a good few years left. Good luck with your search in the mean time. P.S. the below may be of interest? EDRD January 1993.

From what I have read we do not have a buy back clause. We were not in a strong position to negotiate, it was either sell Anderson and Minteh for pure profit, or one of our more valuable starting 11, or risk a points deduction "fine". Everyone was aware of that. In hindsight we would have been better off keeping those two talented young lads who wanted to play for the club and sell the Swedish lanky streak of shite. But who knew? On a positive note I think out worked well in a way. If Minteh had stayed he no doubt would have been 1st choice on the right and Murphy would possibly not had t

Whilst I wouldn't buy one, strangely I quite like the look of them. Doubt they'd be much use on the slop but could make OK bushers. They remind me of some of the street accidents that we used to take rabbiting as kids. Never caught much but had great sport.
-
Off on a tangent here but this thread reminded me of something. Gordon Brown as then Chancellor of the Exchequer sold off a significant part of our gold reserves and cost the UK an estimated £35 - 37 billion in today's prices. Figures from a quick online search, so not saying they're accurate but he fecked up. The same man as PM called a Labour supporting constituent in Rotherham an horrible old bigot (or words to that effect) after she raised concerns regarding the influx of immigrants in her town. In the old EDRD David Harcombe would often describe New Labour as 5th Columnists, now the

Don't know if this is of any interest Moucher71. From 1997 yearbook.

2 probably daft questions from someone who has never owned gold. If you buy gold how do you keep it safe and how do you sell it when you decide to sell it? Talking about just under 6 figures, say a fixed rate cash ISA is about to mature but there is more potential profit in gold than transferring to another existing ISA. Where do you keep the gold? I'm thinking needs to be in a bank of sorts? Safety deposit box (boxes), that will cost money? Then when you decide to sell it... I would imagine the people buying it will not pay the net worth as they would only buy to make a profit themselves

I don't know how to copy from You Tube but found it on there today. Dingle113 prank call to zoo. Made us laugh back then. The Bonga, lots of lads worked on it.

I couldn't vouch for them as actual outdoor wear, more "in the style of" really, but for casual social wear I like them and very nice quality.

I quite like this place. Mere pauper's rags to the more affluent and sartorial elegant of course but not bad for off the peg stuff. Just ordered the coat pictured on back of the brochure and a nice pair of brown Chelsea boots as an early birthday present to myself to wear at the disco.

Doing a job in Dumfries once and had someone from Birmingham working with me. He was a canny lad but a bit of a hothead and quick to lose his cool. There was always the local free adds paper on site. As it covered all of Dumfries and Galloway many of the sellers were farmers advertising various vehicles and bits of agricultural machinery. The days before everyone had mobiles and the adds often ended with "If I miss your call leave a message and phone number." I would sometimes ring these up and in my best Brummy accent leave a message and this lad's number. In the hotel bar he would get a

That is a shame. I did not know him but fair to say he played a part in the development of some of the modern working types, white and coloured, that we have today and left a legacy. R.I.P.
