    Guilty as charged... DOH!

    From a "glass half full" perspective, if we had not been forced to sell Minteh, a player that we had scouted and nurtured (Anderson was a bigger blow for me being a local lad and Academy player), would Jacob Murphy have got much playing time this season? I think Minteh would have been 1st choice ahead of Murphy and Almiron before he was sold. Murphy has been outstanding and not many would have predicted that. A big player in getting the points that we have and the assist for winning goal in League Cup final. Serendipity? We'll never know. A win tomorrow would be most welcome

    I wish I had never seen a badger, or more correctly once the UK badger became the most protected species of animal in the world.

    Genuinely shocked and saddened. Have been entertained and educated by his writing for most of my life. R.I.P. Mr. Lloyd, and thank you.

    I agree. Good for the area and I know some good people who were unfortunate to be born Sunderland fans, I'd be happy for them if they do it (they aren't expecting it though). I'll put all the horrible red n whites that I've met over the years out of my mind

    Mixed feelings on Sunderland's game tonight. On the 1 hand have good friends and family members who are supporters and it would be nice for them to experience the joy of promotion, and a return of the Tyne/Wear derby's next season would be great. On the other hand it's Sunderland FFS! I should be supporting Coventry. Think I'll sit it out.

    Re Newcastle, sure beats hoping for points in the final few games to avoid relegation. Happy days!

    Gotta love evolution, from a virus to a jelly, then to a fish, then to a Tryannosaurus, then to a Humming bird.

    Started reading the topic from 1st post and convinced it was a Mercury, but as not marked Mercury, started to think it could be a rare BSA prototype, but reading later posts it is marked Well worth getting back into optimum working order. Powerful and more importantly accurate enough for rabbits and pigeons. A genuine part of great British gun making history. I preferred the fixed barrel Airsporter but the Mercury was a nice rifle. Even the Nikko Stirling scope is worth keeping as period accurate but the old 2 piece mounts used to suffer from "scope creep".

    If IKEA is a sane man's Hell then that shop would be a sane man's Heaven. Would probably wake the next day though feeling like a Bullseye winner... what the bloody hell am I going to do with this boat (other than using it to store my Moose heads)?

    I watched the funeral in the same place that I watched the Queen's funeral. Most of the old people went to sleep very quickly today. Not a patch on the Queen's send off. Even Shane MacGowan's was better.

    Newcastle v Ipswich - that young lad Osula looks like Joelinton x cartoon Tasmanian devil full of cocaine. Should be interesting next season

    Haven't been to a show in years, would have popped up if in on Sunday. Watching the Newcastle game tomorrow after visiting the parents, a sad state affairs I know. One time football always came 2nd to anything working dog related. Not that I have anything to show now apart from a terrier approaching 15 who would be too decrepit even for the veteran's class and would be lucky to make it around the ring more the once. These days would also more than likely bite the judge. Coincidentally the Russell bitch in the attachments was bred at the Tynedale kennels mid 1980's. 100% working bred but

    I think getting a dog wed to hunting above ground is something that we can take for granted, and getting them out with other "made" dogs is of a massive benefit, if possible. Starting a runner easy, there's a rabbit, go on son. Terriers below ground, so much is instinct and breeding resulting in instant reward if trying them in the right places. Crashing through thick cover for very little reward can be a difficult thing to get a young dog on its own tuned into no matter how good its nose and prey drive.

    It took me years of therapy but I am in good place now. No longer a narcissist.

    Many of us have orchestrated our own downfall, but... he is the Pope of snatching defeat from victory. God bless BFS.

    With lads improving Bedlingtons with working terrier outcross probably explains parti-colour.

    The last time in Rome I attended the Pope's Address in St. Peter's Square. Cannot remember which Pope. Rang man and dad's landline and held my mobile up so that they could listen to him. Apparently tears were streaming down mam's cheeks. After that mam often told people that I had met the Pope . They got a signed congratulatory certificate on their 60th wedding anniversary. I'm not knocking it, quite envious of GOOD people with faith. R.I.P.

    I was an alter boy for years and never got interfered with, and in the words of Micky Flanagan, I was a stunner.

    Brought back my a missionary, hoping to get somewhere in the middle east for his next assignment

    I did watch the Newcastle game. Even though Villa also had a mid-week match and have played more than us this season fatigue must have been a contributing factor on our performance. The energy and intensity that we played with on Wednesday cannot be repeated 3 days later. Highlighting the need for more depth next season when we will have mid-week games in Europe. Easier said than done of course even without FFP, or whatever it is called now, to replicate the quality and character of players that we have recruited since the takeover. My original plans for the game had changed as the Villa

    Did Newcastle have a game yesterday? Oh, dear, I seemed to have missed that 1 and so could not possibly comment.
