Late night ramblings after too much relaxing. I was taught at an early age never discuss politics or religion when relaxing, I need to remember that at times. Regarding the actual football, I hope Anthony Gordon gets a chance to prove what Newcastle fans already know, that he has more drive and hunger in his little finger than some of Southgate's mainstays have in their entire bodies. Not short on talent either.

The "taking of the knee" was transient, almost gone now, but will probably happen at the England game tomorrow. It will not be BLM, something else. Against the wishes of those who orchestrated it. They won/got their way for a short time, now they are losing. Slowly but surely.

Now only a lunatic or a self opinionated, Romany speaking school teacher would go for this rubbish.

Those who wanted to change things that did not need changing, or to fix things that were not broken, have won. At present. Whilst we were carrying on living our lives they have worked hard to get into positions of power in order to change the country to their own ideals. Personified by hunting. Those of us who hunted devoted our time and energy into doing so, those who opposed us devoted their time and energy into stopping it. There was only ever going to be one winner. The best response to this England shirt bollocks is for the lads in the squad, those who care, to take more pride in "th

When driving north (usually to south west Scotland) I used to love to see the modified deer warning sings at the side of the road once I'd crossed the border. Modified by being peppered with shotgun pellets. Happy days.

Reading those words my oldest daughters communion dress, just seemed such a nice thing to read amongst all of the depressing doom and gloom of a changing world.

That ended quite amicably. He was an amateur purveyor of fragrant herbs and medicinal compounds, which wasn't my thing, but a slab of Stella a couple of quid calmed the waters. Times was hard.

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)

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
