I was brought up a Roman Catholic, we used to call it Stations of the Cross

Hey, at least you're still compos mentis? I'm writing this after spending most of the day in a place for old b*****ds who are truly gone with the pixies, or doolally tap as my dad used to say. He's now also in there now

Despite its faults I love the EPL. It's never been an even playing field, but no professional sport is, money talks. Blackburn Rovers, won the league then plummeted. Newcastle game close and have been relegated twice since those days. Leicester City won the league and are now a boomerang club. Why? Money or rather lack of it? Yes. But this is the thing that I find fascinating: Man United. The great Man United. Fallen from grace in recent years but not through lack of funds. Man City. In trouble at present. Not because of lack of money. So many variables, money only being 1 of th

I turned 59 a few weeks ago. Up until September I thought I was already 59 and would be 60 this year. I do tend to lose track a few years after the ones with a zero. Wasn't until a meeting with a financial adviser that he pointed out that I was only 58. So good news, a year younger than I thought, bad news, a year further away from the state pension than I thought. Bugger!

All the ones who forget that this little island and it's people saved the world. And, in part, that we are an island, which has always been a good thing. Easy to defend.

Shane McGowan, Christmas Lullaby, away with ya now...

That's it! Ain't no Blithe Spirit but better quality fleeting glimpse of Sealyham than in The Birds

The Ghost Goes West (1935) on TV yesterday. Daft, eccentric, pure escapism. And a cracking looking 1930's Sealyham terrier in one scene. I'll never fully understand why that stamp of terrier was allowed to die out.

If memory serves correctly at the age of 50 (I could have the age wrong) he came to the conclusion that too much time had been spent not following hounds or working terriers and so made changes. I respect that. I'm not pretending that I knew him, just enjoyed his writing and exchanged a couple of emails.

Sad news. R.I.P.

Narrated by Sir Lawrence Olivier. And just before Europe decided to forget that GB saved the world.

I've probably came across it in the past without knowing what it was, and just kicked the shit out of it, same with asbestos. But found it about 2 years ago in terraced buildings undergoing full referb/new build in the shadow of Alnwick castle. The job got stood down, reason being possible anthrax spores. Apparently they live for centuries and could have been on the animals used in the production of the original build. Samples were taken, came back negative.

Pre, mid and post work's Christmas lunch drinks... hic!

Thank goodness this is back, I'd started watching the news Normal service is resumed.

He was a raconteur of note.

Great film, never been able to listen to Raglan Road since without that scene visualising

Spare rib soup, that was another one. Basically ham and pea soup, the secret ingredient split peas and the ham not much more than rib bones but with lots of fresh veg from the garden/allotment. Delicious.

Mam used to make it, mouth's watering at the memory. The word panackelty was sometimes used but more often she just called the dish tatey pot. Mam was from the Teams though. Going off on a tangent... she always maintained that when playing out along the Teams river baby otters where a common site in the murky black coaly water. Dad would always tried to correct her, they would have been rats not otters man! but she always stood her ground, no, they were baby otters. Was never really sure if she believed it or not

Trevor's 1st day working in the fetish dungeon did not go well. The brief was: use a couple of rampant rabbits then whip it.

No need for PLI or RAMS? Just need dogs?

Intelligent, articulate, class, style. He proved that you can rise to the top in UK politics without having any of those qualities.

I had intended to watch the fight. Had some daft hope that Iron Mike still had 1 last great fight left in him and would show some of the devastating power and controlled aggression that he used to have. But apparently not. I say apparently as I fell asleep on the sofa before the fight started. I don't know what time I nodded off but when waking up 6ish discovered that my glasses had fallen from my face and onto the floor, only realising when I stepped on them. Also before falling asleep had taken delivery of an Indian takeaway. Mutton tikka starter, chicken vindaloo, plain pilau ric

You never loose your punch or They never come back Should be interesting.

A sad situation but lovely eulogy, I should be so lucky that someone writes anything as good when I pop me clogs. Seemed a proper terrier character and lucky too, even though dealt a bad hand early days ended up being given a good quality of life with decent people. RIP.

One of the 1st terriers that I seen worked was a dog called Flint. Long backed, bent legged Sealyham type that was taller at the back than at the front with a head like the proverbial bucket. Beautiful to my eye at the time. Well named but chosen not as a poetic connotation to hard microcrystalline quart but after the character that James Coburn played in a film that was often on the TV.
