Happy St. Patrick's Day.

It does taste exactly the same, but, apart from anything else what about the people who grow the trees and make the corks? Not a fan of screw tops on reds.

That's great, just it's a what you drinking thread. That's the reason I asked.

Are you a recovering alcoholic?

Not really sure what this thread is about but I will be out tomorrow celebrating St. Patrick's day, wearing my newly gifted Shane McGowan lapel badge (and shamrock) and my boss is well aware that I will not be at work on Monday. This is part of my culture.

Of Irish Catholic blood myself from dad's side but mam was pure Geordie and "Protestant", but she converted in order to get married in a Catholic church, which important to my dad's family at the time. It was always a long standing joke with my Geordie grandad and my uncles that we where left footers etc. When we researched the family history turns out there is more Irish in the Geordie side than the Irish

19 Crimes have replaced the traditional cork with a screw top. Not something that I am usually a fan of for reds. I will continue with my research and report back.

I just noticed Burt Lancaster in the collage, a nod to Local Hero. One of my old charge hands used to reference him when we were taking too many risks with working at height activities "who do you think you are son, f***ing Burt Lancaster?" Thank you for posting the video, you're a gent

I have not but will look it up. The sound he creates from an electric guitar at times is similar to pipes, an ancient ethereal sound.

What an idiot, I am, a trusting blind fool who credits everyone with the same intentions I seem to have. If the law is an ass, so am I ...

Reminiscence of Pink Floyd 10 min + just enjoying the music kind of thing.

Mark Knopfler, the new recording of Going Home. Jesus Christ, beautiful. I do not know how to upload such things onto THL.

I may have already posted this drawing sometime in the past on Show Us Your White Dogs thread, which is bit sad. But I like this drawing. Anatomy all wrong but the head is quite accurate, well not all of the head but the eyes. I did get more competent but used to give them all away, mostly to a friend who it turned out was selling them, believe it or not Not for much money mind but more than he was paying me for them, zero £. I only found out when viewing a litter of Border terrier pups and the vendor had a drawing of an European eagle owl on his wall that I recognised, signed by my "mate".

Got tickets for Bruce Springsteen, Stadium of Light. Been a closet fan for years, these days I don't care who knows (Springsteen not the Stadium of Shite)

He's only human and wants to be loved.

You reference the 2nd Boer War, lessons learned from the 1st, don't wear red and stand in line with white webbing forming an aiming point for skilled riflemen to shoot you . WW1 did see the emergence of sniping as a potent weapon on the modern battlefield, as I am sure you know. The American Revolutionary War should have taught us that but we are slow to adapt. But during WW1 countrymen with decent levels of shooting and more importantly fieldcraft skills formed the basis of the early sniper units, many from gamekeeping and stalker occupation in civillian life. That's how the ghilie suit ent

Her angst ridden songs of failed puppy love ain't exactly up there with Nina Simone or Billy Holiday but I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating biscuits. Would make her lick up all the crumbs though.

The pleasure is to play Makes no difference what you say...

Not what you were asking for but 1st book that came to hand. Sure there was a picture of the original Scottish 'keeper/stalker style in there but must in another book.

I got a bit distracted from the job in hand on a site visit this morning. Never felt the attraction to trains and steam engines but seeing these in the flesh was impressive. Couldn't help but be put in mind of the days when Britain really was Great.

I do enjoy your posts in the airgun section, a bit out of the ordinary. Air rifle hunting with a GSP as part of the team, great stuff.

There's an old terrier that I still see that was the last true one of a friend of mine. He was gifted to people who are even older than us and the chap used to do a bit years ago. Standing joke they had to bath the terrier every day for a month before his personal odour was acceptable for a house dog. I think his farting was a big part of the problem but they must have came to accept that. He used to go mad every time I seen him, now he just wags his tail a little and walks on bye. He knows which side his bread is buttered and is loving it
