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

It wasn't a comment on how/why some make old bones, ideally they all would, just on how it tends to often work out. Sod's Law or bad luck? Might just be me.

The good tend to die young. It is nice to see though when a dog that has earned retirement easily transitions from being a worker to a pampered pet.

Django Unchained last night. Never bothered watching at before as assumed it would be a preachy black man good, white man bad sort of thing. Had not realised that it was a Tarantino film. More The Man Who Would Be King or a classic spaghetti western than Guess Who's Coming To Dinner. A good watch, even with the superhuman shooting skills and exploding heads Always struggle with Christoph Waltz playing a good guy after his incredible performance playing Hans Landa in Inglorious Basterds. But I suppose he was still playing a psychopath executing people with impunity. And I now understand

Then spotting the tag and realising you've put it on inside out. Bollocks, it's staying like that.

I used to have a terrier that chased people on a bike. No one to blame but myself, I should never have taught him how to ride a bike. I'll get me coat.

Very true. At the time I used to just pick up a pen or pencil and start drawing without any thought of composition or preportions. Would often get half way through and realise that it wasn't all going to fit onto the page

Anatomically none of it is correct. I could probably do a better job now if I tried. But the colours, using coloured pencils, it took hours, over several weeks. That is the thing that I gave up. Thank you for the kind comment though,

Not in the same league as the person who produced Greyman's beautiful drawing but something I did when at school. Making an effort every now and then to draw something not involving terriers or lurchers kept the teachers off my back for a short while.

On one of the dreaded H&S courses today, face fit testing tester training. Had a walk around North Shields Quay at lunch time and admired these. We may need to re-commission them if those little dinghies start to appear at the mouth of the Tyne

A person puts a lot of themselves into creating art and it is a precarious way of making a living and rarely lucrative. Same as being a musician or even being a hunt terrierman. Inherent talent will always remain but painstakingly learned technique fades rapidly without continued practice once you start doing a proper job. There are easier ways of making a living, but as self gratifying? I wouldn't know, I've had a proper job for most of my life

I watched a programme on Bigfoot years ago and it was very real to the occupants of a small western town in America. There had been many sightings and people had become so fearful of it that some had up sticks and moved away. Turned out that the local sheriff had discovered gold in one of the many abandoned mines but did not have mining rights and so was dressing up as Bigfoot in the hope of scaring off the rightful owners. And he would have gotten away with it as well if it hadn't been for those pesky kids.

Goal of the season for me so far was Livramento Newcastle v Wolves. From his right back position all the way up the pitch and rather than trying to steal a penalty in 18 yard box got the ball in the net. Superb! Another one that Southgate needs to confirm for England before we lose him to Portugal or Scotland. Along with Anthony Gordon.

What game was that? If the Blackburn game I don't think you were robbed but our MOTM was undoubtedly Dubravka which says it all really when playing against supposedly "lesser" opposition. Definitely more Sports Direct than Harrods from us that night. If you are referring to the Sunderland game? Shut up man, should have been 0-6

Neighbours who have been lucky enough, or clever enough to retire early who continue to attempt DIY projects even though they can afford to pay a tradesman. Then they wait for me to come back from work and knock on the door before I have even had time to walk the dog "any chance you could have a look? I followed all the instructions but it has fell off the wall" or "I have followed all the instructions but when I turn it on it goes BANG!"
