  1. Shut up man, you've been everywhere
  2. Too much booze, my apologies IWW.
  3. Come on man, chin up. Easier said than done I know. Get yourself a deerhound/greyhound, a better one that Charts!
  4. Panic has just set in. My FAC is due for renewal shortly. I must edit previous post. Just got the whiff of cheap perfume.
  5. Jesus Christ bonny lad, merry Christmas.
  6. Greater minds than ours have pondered the question: whisper the elixer then vanish in a blast it's a mystery, it's a mystery I'm still searching for a clue I'ts a mystery to me
  7. Apparently God works in mysterious ways?
  8. Is this Greb taking the piss? Doesn't matter. I'm comfortable in my own skin. Treat others as you would have them treat you, that's a good 1 from the Bible
  9. It's a mad thing this God thing. So much good is done in believing in it, yet so much bad is done in believing in it. To quote Sinead O'Conner "God existed before religion, it did not ask for religion, it will exist after religion is gone" I'm an atheist (before the it gets dark) but get her point.
  10. I was brought up a Roman Catholic, we used to call it Stations of the Cross
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. 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!
  14. 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.
  15. Shane McGowan, Christmas Lullaby, away with ya now...
  16. That's it! Ain't no Blithe Spirit but better quality fleeting glimpse of Sealyham than in The Birds
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. Narrated by Sir Lawrence Olivier. And just before Europe decided to forget that GB saved the world.
  20. 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.
  21. Pre, mid and post work's Christmas lunch drinks... hic!
  22. Thank goodness this is back, I'd started watching the news Normal service is resumed.
