    Changing Laws on a whim, changing how existing laws are interpreted, charging and prosecuting our own people not because laws that were broken, because they changed them after the event. That is Great Britain.

    Democracy may have its origins in ancient Greece but in the modern world an honest political and legal system is credited to Great Britain. The template that all other countries aspired to. It is now being ripped apart from within.

    I just had a Victor Medrew moment. Doing the weekly shop and only 1 till open so forced to use the self checkout. Straight away got the remove last item, then it happened again. I called the young lass over and said this thing isn't working properly, why can't you just open more tills? I then corrected myself and apologised, saying I know it's not your fault, ignore me I'm turning into a proper Victor Meldrew. Then another remove last item error giving me the opportunity for a I DON'T BELIEVE IT! Some people smiled, most concentrated on avoiding making eye contact. But the young lass laughed.

    The shame and embarrassment. A working bred terrier (proper) reduced to a harness but also one of those extendible dog leads. If he gets himself too exited these days with a collar around his neck he has a turn, flops town and needs a moment. Due to the collar IMO. The extendible lead thing... lads have screeched to a halt driving on roads that he is walked on, and took the piss,. Lads from the past. Nice though that they are still alive

    FFS when he came to Newcastle he didn't even know what his surname was, started out as Genas then changed to Jenas.

    He also said that when training with the England squad made realise how held back he was being when returning to training with the players at Newcastle. Those players being Garry Speed, Alan Shearer, Nobby Solano and others of that quality. Has never good enough to lace those player's boots.

    My man has Alzheimer's. Dad had dementia + other shit. If they both had the same things it would not be so bad. The hearbreaking thing is to see dad with no compassion towards mam's condition, becuase of his dementia. Because he is no longer himself. No longer the loving husband and great dad that he was for most of his life. Sometimes the people in the care home and so called mental health experts need reminded of this. Not the place to write about this but jukel123 started it is this our house?

    Don't get me started on Alzeimer's.

    Don't get me started on Alzheimer's.
  14. eastcoast
    Not sure if dementia rears it's ugly head and takes a grip through heading a ball. And don't get me started on Alzheimer's.

    My brother in-law served his time as a shipwright in the yards, at the when time the yards were being closed. Played for Gateshead FC semi-pro for most of his playing career. Damned good left side defender, played against Newcastle in few pre-season friendlies and always threatened, to me, that he would take our star players out for the season, including Shearer one time. He did not do that of course, but more than held his own, in the 1st half.

    Shearer often says that there was a lad same age as him at Southhampton who was a better striker than him at the time, fine margins, planets not aligned?
  17. eastcoast
    Fine margins and all that. So many different factors in play for a kid to progress making his living as a professional footballer. In my far less glamorous world see kids who fail in becoming sparks or plumbers. A lot easier to get back into it once you've experienced a bit of the real world in my world than in football of course, so many of the planets must be aligned for a career in football I would think. One of my brother in-laws was offered an apprenticeship with Blackburn Rovers, knocked it back on his dad's advice as Sunderland FC were interested, both Mackems. He missed out at Su

    Nice looking dog. Not a type that I have ever been drawn to but looks well put together and in good nick. Very pleasing on the eye.

    I am becoming a bit obsessed with these things. Fascinated by how quickly they grow.

    Not exactly what I was expecting to see at St. James' today. Newly promoted Southampton came with a game plan that included getting under our skins. Very surprised that our players allowed that to happen. Have they turned into self entitled prima donna's already? Looked like it until the sending off. Schar of all people, cost no money, couldn't get a game under Bruce, but has since gone on to prove himself a genuine EPL player and held his own in the Champions League. Allowed that Cameron Diaz or whatever her name is to stitch him up like a kipper. Reality check time I think. 3 points though

    The Dubliners did a great version. Sinead 0' Conner did just as good. Oro Se do Bheatha Bhaile. Welcome.
  23. eastcoast
    Probably the 1st sensible thing that you have ever posted
  24. eastcoast
    Trying to correct my comment. Probably not correct. It's complicated and confusing.

    In regard to parents or old family members. Big mistake I made: Do not pay money into their bank accounts. When they are sane it gives them some sense of security when going over their "papers". When they loose their minds they get no help until every penny that they have is taken.
