  1. 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.
  2. 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
  3. 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!"
  4. I remember when the Hairy Bikers 1st came on the tele and reading critiques/TV show reviews with comments along the lines of "would anyone really want to eat anything prepared by these sweaty northerners?" PC was in full swing by then but there was one section of the population that the media were allowed to be discriminatory and prejudiced against. White working class men. Even better if they were straight and from the north. Nothing has changed. THB's picked up on this and the next series whilst being filmed cooking outside in Spain or wherever over a gas hob they would often make a p
  5. "I have never seen it (Jaws IV) but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built and that is terrific"
  6. What an achievement, reminiscent of Churchill escaping from a POW camp during the 2nd Boer war.

    Bravo

    Imagine if we started to take heed of what our moral and intellectually superior political masters are trying to teach us? By us I mean the dumb suckers who go to work every day and pay the taxes to fund their hair brained schemes or give to those that they regard more worthy than us. Imagine if Monday morning we walked past our planet destroying cars and vans and tried to use public transport to get to work. The chaos that would enfold if millions of people went to get the bus or the train. Imagine if business' decided to stop polluting the planet by keeping delivery vehicles at the depot rat
  8. Are you not worried that it may attract elephants? I would imagine that those big hulking brutes could cause a lot of damage on a small shoot.
  9. Newcastle away to Man City in 1/4 final. I just won a £1
  10. I did not. It would be lost on him. I am just happy that he is enjoying supporting a team that is winning things. Something that I have never experienced
  11. How do the people who own the land, in the UK, that give permission for pot holers to pot hole manage it? We cannot allow lads to work in antiquated but purpose built cable ducts without confined space training, emergency rescue plans and the activity to be risk assessed to within an inch of its life.
  12. I used to sometimes "exercise" my terriers around that way. Down the lines to Kibblesworth and back with the occasional nosey onto adjoining land. A few earths that sometimes held. The thought of digging in places like that without permission these days sends a shiver down my spine. The days before dog walkers or joggers or cyclists and mobile phones and helicopters. Well, on the cusp of the changing times anyway. I count myself lucky to have survived to hunt another day. A few close shaves though.
  13. From the Teams. Escaped a life working in the pits. Still died young though but hey ho. The only other great uncle I had who escaped the pits died on a troop ship at 18 in WW1 even though he was in a reserved occupation. Brave lad.
  14. Dick was only 5' 6 1/2". My great nephew is of a similar stamp but a canny player, even if I do say so myself. Something that he is reminded of when others are bigger, which they usually are. He loves his football though, and that's all that matters.
  15. My great uncle Dick Johnson. I was going to try and tipex out the Sunderland bit but he only played a few games for them as a "gentleman player" and was never actually on the books.
  16. How does the DNA testing work? To my limited knowledge a Jagd was the Nazi attempt to create a black and tan fox terrier. The fox terrier at that time is what we would now class as a Parson. So surely the DNA make up of a Jagd is the same as the DNA make up of a modern Parson? And the same DNA as a modern KC fox terrier as the show breeders created their freaks from the original working terriers that were registered in the late 19th century and they closed the gene pool. If it had been around at the time I would loved to have had one dog in particular DNA tested. Pedigree unknown and loo
  17. My great nephew supporting wor lasses and his older brother at Wembley supporting his team. Pains me to see one of them wearing red but his great, great uncle played for them, we never had a Newcastle player in the family. Not yet
  18. I am watching the EFL cup final and bind it bizzarre that Jamie Carragher is doing the live commentary on a Liverpool game. I am not bothered about unbias, not as though he refereeing, I find all this over analysis of a game as it is being played sucks the energy out of it anyway and usually try and find a foreign channel stream with only 1 commentator. What puzzles me is why Carragher would want to do it? No doubt he is being handsomely paid but I am sure he would manage to pay this month's energy bills without working today. Why would he not prefer to enjoy the match away from a camera or a
  19. Lakeland, Stafford, beagle way back and if from UK KC stuff Fox Terrier. Not intending to be cheeky but I would say most Russells have those in the mix, minus the Fox Terrier.
  20. Note the long, weak, snipey heads.
  21. A male Smithfield collie between 3 and 4 year old. Possibly called Shep.
