After re-watching SAS Rouge Heroes had a look to see if the soundtrack is on Spotify, and it is. A great driving playlist with some of the best British rock tracks of all time with a few WTF? for passengers. Noel Coward between Motorhead and Sham '69, Arthur Askey and Vera Lyn together with Stiff Little Fingers and AC/DC. For those of a certain age.

My two penneth, something said to me and my sisters by a brother-in-law under slightly different circumstances "is this what your mam and dad would have wanted you to be doing? "

Banter. I have always struggled to tie down exactly why I find "banter" so annoying. And what is banter? Trying to watch LFC v ATM and listening to the commentary of "Fletch" and McCoist it has just dawned on me, banter is what happens when people have no craic.

I used to own rare vintage bottle that I kept for years, to open on a special occasion. Looked for it when Newcastle won the League Cup but turns out someone had thrown it out years ago on account of it being 20+ years past its best before date. N.B. turn head to left to view pictures.

That's good to know Jossa. I remember at one of the few meetings that I attended at Shotley Bridge club as a relatively young clueless fukwit, as apposed to now being a relatively old clueless fukwit, and Mr.Winch announcing that the RSPCA had returned the club's cheque. A donation was given to them annually from the club. Reason being, they can longer be associated with any organisation that is involved with the use of hunting with dogs. It seemed ridiculous at the time. Little did we know that times were a changing.

Great start for Nick Woltemade at Newcastle. Played his first game, scored his first goal, won the game. I have heard that Virgil Van Dijk has already been on phone to him.

I commented on the display of Union Flags last week on route to visiting the parents. Well, it's that day again and the flags are still there. It just looks so so strange. The last time that I seen such a display was shortly after the UK left the EU and I needed a dog passport to travel to Republic of Ireland with a dog. Did not have a passport so just drove over via NI. The sat nav took me to Carrickfurgus, resplendent in red, white, and blue. Nice people and pointed me in the direction of Carrick-on-Shannon. These flags, the ones in my pictures taken today, they're all at half mast an

Are you sure? Sounds more like the KC stuff.

The Jack Russell that attacked your trousers, out of interest, do you know if it was KC registered?

I am posting on politics, Jesus Christ, I drove from home to my parents "home" today, only a few miles. Passed through a place that I know well and when stopped at one of the many road works spotted the Union Flags on lamp posts. Left and right side of the road. For at least a mile. No idea who put them there but obviously not kids even though half of the flags were upside down. Strange days indeed.

Ironically did she not help to bring Boris down over the idiotic drinks during lockdown thing? The country was sinking, the country is sinking, and all they care about is which of them is control of it all. Counting the deckchairs when the ship is sinking and making sure that the deckchairs are made from a responsibly sourced material and painted in rainbow colours.

A perfect example of someone who had one ambition in life, to become a politician. She not only achieved that ambition but went all the way to the top. And started to run a country. But has no practical experience of even running a small business let alone a country. Perhaps posting CV's should become standard when these idiots stand for office and the voters read them?

Don't give up KC. At least you have a mrs, and a sofa, chin up bonny lad.

I have always found the KC Russell thing interesting simply because it happened in my lifetime. Lakelands, Seayhams, Borders and Fox terrier etc had long since been registered before my time. I remember the heated debates in letter sections of various sporting periodicals arguing the pros and cons. To my mind the terrier that they wanted to register and close the gene pool on was the same type of dog that was registered as a Fox Terrier early days, and that didn't pan too well in regard to preserving the "breed". Difficult not to be cynical in regard to the pro camp being motivated by £ signs.

No good can ever come from a "type" becoming a "breed" when registered with the Kennel Club. Some gundog breeds, OK, but their jobs are not that demanding. I do not know of anyone winning money betting on a KC reg Greyhound. Digging dogs being all shapes and sizes? Shapes I would disagree with but conforming to Russell type with variation of size is OK. KC dogs must conform to the written breed standard, so only ideal showing size terriers should exist? Even the bitches would be too big in some places. Adding/buying terriers from another terrierman? It's called development. Not pos

I random aside to the pictures that I took on a genteel pub crawl last week around Byker and Ouseburn area of Newcastle. Took a pic of this sad looking "boat" and was sure that I photographed it about 15 year ago. Managed to get an old phone working today and found the picture. The ravages of time

I don't know if Durham & Northumberland Working Terrier Club is still going, it was a until a few years ago. If it is would be worth joining to try and make some contacts.

See Mr. Charts' post, just about sums it up. Isak is on international duty at present, will be interesting to see if he returns to Liverpool with a groin injury and needs a few weeks recovery before turning out for them. Not that I am wishing that on him, honestly not, but he missed quite a few games for us with that ongoing problem or played without given 100% at times. Who knows, perhaps that was part of his gripe with NUFC and was forced to play when not feeling 100% due to our other striker not being available? Liverpool have a far stronger squad than we had/have so should not be a problem

Just thinking back to how much he was supported back in the day, that's 1 for the lefties, political left not southpaws Sure he fought our 'enry.

Was he English? I Remember him, and cannot be bothered to Google it, but had a foreign accent? Held British belts and contested for Britain in world title fights if I remember correctly. Mam and dad screaming at the tele

I'm trying to watch the final knockings of transfers on Sky but that lass with the dead badger on her heed is on. That's all I can see whenever she's on the tele. Fascinating. Did she drive past a squashed brock one time and the thought "hold on...!"

An example of the rough haired mongrels? Personally, I don't see the need to add beagle, Stafford or KC Fox terrier, never seen them graft though so just from an aesthetic point of view. Each to their own.

Down to 4 days a week at the office, decided to trail 3 days today and just went for a walk and a few pints. It was rather pleasant.
