    Your brother and sister sound pretty cool Mr. Mitre, I used to copy the Viz cartoons also. Nobody liked it until I started getting OK at it, then was told it's OK but stop drawing dogs!
  3. Technically still a hound though TT, LOL. Just something in the crowd that took my eye. Even though a KC Dachshund and not worked or working bred, still looked every inch the "badger dog".
  4. Looking forward to reading this. No doubt will be a reminder of a time before we became a nation of pussies... present company excepted.
  5. Tynedale, Corbridge, this morning.
  6. Working on it, as said, proper (working class English) songwriter.
  7. That's a real shame. Proper songwriter. Always looked for Stainsby Girl on juke boxes when away from home, even though he was a southerner. And educated Bob Mortimer in the art of having a good bath by cracking a raw egg into the water.

    Loved The Viz, and Kylie really did get her tits out on page 21!
  9. You would not make a very good politician Mr. Mackem. When existing laws are broken you do not look at why they were broken or how to better enforce the existing laws, you just make more laws for law abiding citizens to comply with and let nutters carry on with impunity.
  10. Sure it was from Oxcroft blood, but everything was at the time. Same as every KC Bedlington was from Rillington or Gutch Common.
  11. Only one way to define this, no matter religion or world politics, f**k religion and world politics, it is a crime against humanity.
  12. If no one else comes up with anything I will be able to find the add when that dog was a public stud. 100% it will be in one of my "scrap books", but will take a while to find.
  13. Turned 60 this week, a card received that made me smile.
  14. some type of shot, work Christmas lunch yesterday and the younger lads were buying a round with every pint
  15. I know that everything is getting smaller these days but this is ridiculous...
  16. Often the same in construction, that and cocky green as grass kids with academic qualifications but no practical real world experience. Most get found out, when things go tits up, but just secure another position elsewhere and history repeats itself.
  17. Give it time, will be interesting to see where it ends up
  18. When I 1st looked at this thought it might be a hare clapped on the slop.
  19. The going home with a black eye thing is becoming something of a lost tradition LOL. It did tend be spats between lads who knew each other anyway. Worked together all year and little disagreements simmered into grudges, a few gallon of drink and then handbags. More comical than violent. Usually shaking hands afterwards and mates again when back to work in January. An important day in contracting though before social media and mobile phones. Everyone knew where to go every year in order to meet up and have a pint with lads who had moved on to other companies or retired. M&E was the Lab
  20. Coincidentally did visit North Shields Quay today for work. Liked this that has recently been done. Disappointed to find out it wasn't done freehand and they used stencils but maybe that's how things are done for time/cost these days? Not saying it is not bespoke.
  21. The original Black Eyed Friday, don't know if it is a Geordie thing or country wide, I always made it home for Christmas? The day when all of the sites close , not always but often a Friday, when almost every man working in construction goes to Newcastle city centre and drinks. Some go home with black eyes, hence the term. It's a Wednesday this year but will still be "Black Eyed Friday"!
