I random aside to the pictures that I took on a genteel pub crawl last week around Byker and Ouseburn area of Newcastle. Took a pic of this sad looking "boat" and was sure that I photographed it about 15 year ago. Managed to get an old phone working today and found the picture. The ravages of time

I don't know if Durham & Northumberland Working Terrier Club is still going, it was a until a few years ago. If it is would be worth joining to try and make some contacts.

See Mr. Charts' post, just about sums it up. Isak is on international duty at present, will be interesting to see if he returns to Liverpool with a groin injury and needs a few weeks recovery before turning out for them. Not that I am wishing that on him, honestly not, but he missed quite a few games for us with that ongoing problem or played without given 100% at times. Who knows, perhaps that was part of his gripe with NUFC and was forced to play when not feeling 100% due to our other striker not being available? Liverpool have a far stronger squad than we had/have so should not be a problem

Just thinking back to how much he was supported back in the day, that's 1 for the lefties, political left not southpaws Sure he fought our 'enry.

Was he English? I Remember him, and cannot be bothered to Google it, but had a foreign accent? Held British belts and contested for Britain in world title fights if I remember correctly. Mam and dad screaming at the tele

I'm trying to watch the final knockings of transfers on Sky but that lass with the dead badger on her heed is on. That's all I can see whenever she's on the tele. Fascinating. Did she drive past a squashed brock one time and the thought "hold on...!"

An example of the rough haired mongrels? Personally, I don't see the need to add beagle, Stafford or KC Fox terrier, never seen them graft though so just from an aesthetic point of view. Each to their own.

Down to 4 days a week at the office, decided to trail 3 days today and just went for a walk and a few pints. It was rather pleasant.

Ceramic tiles & grout. Nice for a bath surround or none wet walls but no good in a shower cubicle. Yet the people still ask for it. The customer is always right.

I not aware of respectful silence for the falling until reading Hunt & Working Terriers by Sir Jocylen Lucas MC. An Irishman started it?

Just did the weekly grocery shop and they had the buy 6 or more and get 25% off offer... well, it would be rude not to? Hoping that I don't get any uninvited guests over the English bank holiday weekend as only bought enough for one.

EBT and/or old school Sealyham blood? A strong looking animal.

There are times that I agree with WILF's tongue in cheek comment. I didn't used to be like this and think, is it because I have turned into Victor Meldrew or is it because of other people's behaviour these days? Then I had a moment of clarity, my working week ends on a Thursday now. I get home Thursday evening full of hell and angry with the world but by the time Monday morning comes I am back to my old self, totally chilled and almost hippy like. Then within 5/10 minutes of driving to work I am full of hell again due to the actions of others. No, it's not me turning into Victor, people are c*

Non-discriminatory, inclusive and unbiased... rather beautiful.

I will be 60 in December this year and had no real idea about our war with Japan until meeting a chap who fought them. Got nothing at school. We were not taught about our recent history at school. I have written about this before. Was given a swift lesson on the reality of it when making a comment on Japanese historical codes of honour and that to surrender is dis-honourable and justified why they treat POW in the way that they did. Luckily I knew the man through our mutual appreciation of Jack Russells. Even though he was into his 70's at the time, he probably would have knocked me out if we

Talk of a civil war? FFS we had one, a thing which resulted in the rest of the developed world taking note. The English Civil War defined the world. Our civil war was not about rights for the people, it was about those who had the power defining who had what. The American War of Independence was not about giving rights to the new American citizens, it was businessmen who started to believe that they could create a new country, and have no need to pay taxes to their old country, and get stupidly rich. Which happened. End of the day, the generals have the real power, last seen in England in 17

Nothing wrong with a .22 rimfire. Having one dressed up in stupid clothes can also inspire the younger intake

.410 flavour. Great guns for starting a youngster. Some disagree using the logic that kills are more difficult to achieve than with a larger bore but once proficient with a .410 using a 12 bore is a piece of piss. I know a chap who got into shooting late in life and has money to burn. Bought a megga expensive shotgun and paid for lessons. He's the worst shot that I've ever seen, even feel sorry for him at times. Often think that if he had been taught to shoot using a .410 on ferreted rabbits he would not be as bad as he is.

The generic street mongrel? Usually described as lab x collie or lab x Alsation, even though there were very few pure collies, labs or GSD's about Still made good hunting dogs though for kids with nothing else to use. 1 of the best old fashioned type find and catch lurchers that I've known was result of a mate putting 1 of "our" black collie mongrels over 1 of his dad's non-ped whippets. He was the perfect dog to find game in places that game had no right to still be existing and knew not to rely on speed to catch it. If it was there, he'd find it, and often catch it.

Bad form by some Crystal Palace fans not respecting the minutes silence for Diogo Jota and his brother at the Community Shield today. Quite rightly pointed out and criticised by the pundits on TNT Sport. However 5 minutes before that no mention whatsoever was made of very vocal Liverpool fans clearly booing of our national anthem! So that's considered acceptable these days?

£229.00 at Curry's yesterday. Had done bit of online search last week and could have got slightly cheaper but an impulse buy when walking past the shop. Was worth it to take the young salesman apart in front a big queue when he was desperately trying to sell me extended insurance. When he said "once you take it out of the box you are not covered" a more experienced colleague intervened and gave me £29.00 off for cash sale to get rid of me.
