It used to be relatively easy to get surplus to requirements, for whatever reason, from the non-ped racing lads and lasses. The only whippet that I actually owned myself was sourced this way as a young adult dog. £10. As rabbiter that would also take the occasional day time hare, and have a damned good try at everything else ,he was the bargain of a lifetime.

A positive not a negative. Looked for the correct place to post on THL but could not find. Anyway, women wearing dresses. This unseasonably warm weather seems to have inspired a change in women's attire. Gone are the leggings and sports tops or baggy T shirts to be replaced by lovely Summer dresses. Even the fat and ugly ones look stylish and feminine.

Oh, when will you ever learn?

Big cats in the UK. Don't know what it's like in other areas but around here they're becoming something of a pest. And the council are doing bugger all about it.

Are they making Muslim themed blow up dolls now? In the interests of inclusivity I think they should. Wouldn't want anyone to feel excluded. Hold on though... I think I've spotted a problem.

And there was also that tragic industrial injury case at the Nestle factory when a load toppled over and trapped a warehouse worker. His shouts of "the milky bars are on me" ... I'll get me coat.

Steady dominos away though

Some other things found. My records. Some really self indulgent naval gazing going on here but I make no apologies, it's only the internet. Bought the Stranglers album when at art college, people at home thought going to art college was an odd thing to do. People at art college found me odd but loved the Stranglers and thought the album cover was macarbre or at best an ironic statement with the stuffed animals. I loved the Stranglers music but never understood why anyone would have a a mounted animal in their house unless it was something that you had dug yourself.

Doing the final clearance of my parent's house and came across this. I do remember it from years ago and always assumed it had been thrown out or given away but has been in loft all these years. Came from grandparent's house originally but I did have a great uncle who owned or managed a pub in Carlisle and it may have been his. Looks like the kind of thing that you would see in pub.

Question for Mackem, just going off your username, did you used to jump off the bridge over Wear at Chester - le - Street? Used to be a favourite past time of ours in summer holidays. Usually wasn't much water and you would go almost knee deep in the mud. Police eventually but a block on it.

Going off topic there was a time I would have loved to put that terrierxspringer over a grew. He has most of the qualities of a working terrier with the added bonus of a little extra height from the spaniel. A viable alternative to a Bedlington I think, even though the terrier sire does have a very diluted % of Beddy in him and they have always been a little rangy, but not too big.

What madness is this??? Just put sky sports transfer show on and reading J Bellingham has signed for Sunderland!!!

No. And the Turks kept moving the gulet but I got back on

The last time I jumped off a cliff was outside Bodrum in Turkey. I had intended to dive, but after swimming ashore, climbing to the point, looking down, seeing the people on the boat that I had came off in the distance hoping for a "caught on camera" moment I bottled it. Jumped, no idea how high it was but had time to shout " fu###c####k###ing####hell####!!!###" before hitting the water.

My last speed awareness course to avoid 3 points was after being clocked doing eighty mph on A1M at 04:40 after leaving home early and wanting to be on site 1st thing down the country. OK, I was exceeding the speed limit even though the traffic was very light. The accepted way of driving on motorways now during the day seems to be everyone driving bumper to bumper. Should they not be penalising that?

I do enjoy watching Combat Dealers. I get distracted sometimes though when Bruce can be showing a Russian "oligarch" or Hollywood "property master" a bit of iconic and mega costly bit of WWII kit and 1 of his Parson Russells gets in shot. Start thinking, does he graft them?

The dog in the pictures is Patterdale (type) x working Springer. Not mine, result of an accidental mating between a friends terrier and one of his gun dog bitches. The bitch was taken to vets for injection but it didn't work and she had pups. Pet homes were found but he decided to keep one, I think more for sentimental reasons as the sire was meant to be the last of home bred stuff going back over 30 years. He just keeps gun dogs now. Not really worked as my friend is only into the spaniels and that takes a lot of time and commitment to get them right but I have seen it out on "exercise"

Did I tempt fate or anger the Gods by posting this? Ah well, back to life, back to reality.

Watch Man C v Newcastle 20:00 tomorrow night.

1 of the last proper chat show hosts on British TV. Respectful of the person that he was interviewing but not sycophantic. But he did become sycophantic at the end, probably had no choice if he wanted to stay employed.

I have tried to watch women's football, particularly England matches, but find it difficult to retain interest for a full 90 minutes. But I am a strong believer in people being allowed to live their lives and do what they want free from prejudice and discrimination as long they aren't hurting anyone. My only concern is the kick off time for women's football matches. Evening games are fine but 3 or 4 pm matches gets me wondering if there is a man somewhere, all alone, getting hungrier and hungrier because there is no one at home to make his tea.
