    Fair comment.

    Just rabbit dogs? That's what they are meant to do, catch rabbits or win races. Try and tell a whippet that and they will disagree but they are just dogs and should do as they are told.

    Nice picture iworkwhippets, were they your dogs?

    A lost cause? I came to that conclusion in the 1980's. Not saying I did not see and have not seen good decent people in the working dog world but my goodness there has always been the dross.

    I'll be a little sad when Shane goes. Usually don't really give a shit when celebrities die. But I like Shane, a true original. Created something original. Never got the point when uncles was given lectures on ancient Irish history, or going to Mass, or sisters and cousins doing the Irish dancing, as a young Englishman it was so alien to me. But got it when the Pogues came on the scene and the Pogues were/are Shanes' words.

    A great win for England made in Sunderland. The short limbed lad in goal kept us in the game at 0-0 then Henderson stamped the class. Where's Max?

    French keeper looked a bit dodgy also, good news for England if we win tonight.

    The "in" phrase in football TV punditry/commentary? High press!

    2 great games today, at least 2nd halves that I watched. Proper going for it stuff, the way the game should be played. Pleased for Son and his side to progress.

    This is exactly the sort of racial stereotyping that people find offensive... FYI not all of the c**ts eat sausages.

    All this navel gazing. FFS, do you lads even enjoy watching football? It is the Games, give them bread and the Games. That's OK with me.

    I am thoroughly enjoying this winter World Cup. Not just the games but the fact that it is being played in winter. I thought it was a bloody stupid idea but have been proved wrong. Major football finals are really the only time that I get together with old friends, other than at funerals these days. I had also saved some annual leave just for the tournament. Of course the same would have happened if the finals had been held in the summer, but it just seems more of a treat in November, almost a bit naughty. Another bonus is that to date the rest of the country do not appear to have embrace

    Great show by Canada. The BBC have managed to replace Mark Lawrenson as an energy vampire commenting on games in the form of Jenas.

    I'm watching on catch up but only 30 mins behind, looking like he may be!

    Come on Canada. Manager is a Geordie ?, he did coach Sunderland youth though, just in case Max is reading.

    Is that a Kerry Blue pup A-t?

    No, it's not that. Not that simple. People at work have explained it, too many conflicting devices? They correct it for me usually. But THL should just have the simple change through 90 degree button to press. Only started to happen when I bought a Chromebook thing by accident. I know how to flip images, but no matter how many times I flip them, and save the copies, as originals and delete the others, and view as correct orientation, they upload to THL upside down or pissed 90 degree.

    More of my lazy phone shots taken parked up at beach that is an easy way of calming the parents for half an hour. I love the bold starlings at this location though. No idea why the images uploaded on a piss. It only happens when I upload things on THL.

    The Hylton Castle Arms, now that evokes a few memories. Geordies were not welcome but many of the patrons were dog men (all types of sporting dog) so it kind of cancelled things out.

    A friend of mine who grew up with us doing the rabbiting etc. and joined the RM told me similar tales as above when in NI. Spending days and sometimes weeks in a ditch "observing" and the locals would just crack on as normal knowing full well that there was a man in the ditch. Mutual respect/apathy or mutual contempt? Probably a bit of both. Or just people getting through the day I think.

    People like dressing up, to look the part, no harm in that. You also need suitable clothes to wear for the specific task in hand that are more durable and weather proof than normal day wear that these days tend to be made in cammo. Personally I prefer to be as obviously visible as possible. Hi-viz is a great start for your defence after an idiot reports you for doing something perfectly legal.

    Just started watching SAS-Rogue Heroes. Don't if this is an actual quote or artistic licence but loved it: Paddy Mayne says no, he's off to fight the Japanese in Burma But we aren't at war with the Japanese? We will be when Paddy gets there
