Ken Dodd's dog died. Years ago, seems like yesterday.

I hope that you enjoy it. 1st time that I read it was loaned to me my the man who sourced me my 1st proper terrier. I bought my own copy. I still pick it up now and again 40+ years later and still get happily lost in the pages.

Human Resources (HR) and Mental Health 1st Aiders (MHFA) "pulling rank" .Than they ask for assistance to prevent a man stepping off the precipice or jumping off the proverbial bridge. And to find out that their expertise consisted of given the man a verbal warning, followed by a written warning for not following company procedure in recording his absences. Inevitable I suppose when the company policy is to have 30% female workforce by 2030 when 95% of the workforce are sparks and plumbers? We need to find something for the women to do.

Even better. Using my logic, to have any chance everyone of our players must now play as though it is a cup final. It always was, but over the years our players seemed to have missed that vital point. Starting in 1974 Newcastle v Liverpool, the 1st I remember, we were shocking and have been ever since in cup finals. I did once make a silly comment on here the Callum Wilson could enter the Newcastle history books as a more important player than Alan Shearer, Shearer never lifted a trophy for us, Wlison can make history on the 16th. That's the mind set that they should be going into the game wit

Alison Moyet last night. Not really a fan but invited by a friend. Once I would have made an excuse not to attend but the more time that I spend in care homes these days the more that I appreciate life is for living, even if it is just accepting an invitation to see an 80's pop star and having a few drinks with proper friends. Still a great singer by the way. The apple in the toilet? Well, the opening act was not to my taste. Some miserable Scottish girl. When she said "you may have picked up on this, I have issues with men", I walked out and decided to stay in the bar until she had finis

As a Newcastle fan,the Anthony Gordon red card and missing the cup final has had time to sink in and thought about. I see it as a positive. We were always 2nd favourite in a 2 horse race. Yes, Newcastle are now a competent EPL side but still a level below LFC. Now we are the true underdogs. In the great tradition of English cup games the underdog sometimes prevails on the day. Wimbledon v LFC, Sunderland v Leeds as examples. I have faith. Should I be wrong it's going to a flat St. Patrick's day in the toon this year

I agree, but the rules need to be clear and refereed to the rules, throughout the duration of the game, an even playing field for everyone. In the top flight anyway. There was a time in EPL when it was in danger of becoming a non-contact sport. Thankfully common sense prevailed. But this season we have a game of 2 halves, 30/40 minutes when men are allowed to play like men and then, once the ref starts to realise that the lads are "playing like men", he bottles it and starts giving out cards. That's where the frustration comes from with the players who play with a disciplined controlled aggres

Stupid by Gordon but caused by the refs earlier calls. The Brighton kid who got a 2nd yellow should have been given it in 1st half. Refs are keeping cards in their pockets depending on their earlier calls in the game. The pundits love it as they don't want to see reds. That confuses and frustrates the players. Are we playing to the rules or not? What is the ref going to allow? His job is to see it and call it according to the rules of the game, but they are not doing that.

Good luck to Brighton progressing further in the FA Cup. Kick in the stones to see Minteh getting the so important equaliser. A young lad scouted and signed by Newcastle. Then nutured until ready for the English top flight, only to be forced into selling him.

Tell that to my IT Dept. They send me suspicious links all the time and if I don't ID it they give me another awareness course to do. c**ts.

Thanks Wata but I don't open links. Cyber c**ts and all that.

If I could post music videos it would be Bad Manners Lip up Fatty, just for the craic.

It all got broke. Get a pair of Monkey boots FFS (for f**k's sake). Take them off when it gets fixed.
-
I quite envy them. Me? I would love to be able to dig badger again in England. That's, never going to happen until the dementia kicks in.

If you're still down the big smoke on 16th I wouldn't be wearing them, some daft drunken Geordies may take a fancy to them

I've seen the rise in men my age being childish and getting the scouters and joining "Mod" clubs or dressing like skinheads or getting back into Northern Soul. Sad or joyful? I do not know, but as long as it makes them happy what's the harm? I think in part it comes from there is no place or respect for middle age white working class men in England today. So they just think f**k it. My mid life crisis is hankering over getting another whippet.

Fashion is expensive and transient... style however, is priceless.

Skinhead "light" style at my school. Would be worn with "bags" and a tanktop. 1970's

Mad behaviour by Canha, Bournemouth v Wolves. Usually such a reaction comes from something very personal said.

People parking on pavements when there seems no need, it has almost become the normal accepted way of parking a car. Perhaps they think that there is less chance of their vehicle getting damaged by passing traffic? That back fires when I am trying to safely get past when pushing my dad in his chair. Whoops, that's a nasty scratch. Oh dear, shudder to think how much Audi are going to charge to fix that wing mirror. Hope they notice them dry wall fixing screws before driving off.

So it's still the Jews? I thought it was Muslims and devil worshippers these days? That's a load off my mind. Shalom.

I could be wrong, it is not something that I have great knowledge of. But... my understanding, the people who controlled Great Britain at that time made the decision to stop Adolf Hitler's plans. That meant standing alone and going to war in the knowledge that GB would lose the empire. We stopped Hitler. We lost an empire. The rest of the world owe us thanks.

With all due respect bonny lad, no one likes a clever shite. Is there nothing you and your family are not great at?

Bring it on. By the time I was eventually furloughed getting paid true 80% of my salary it turned out to be the most chilled period of my life. I have replicated it this year, only working 4 days on 80% of my previous salary anyway. Would I welcome the retards walking about in nice places dropping litter, with retard dogs? No.

Smiled when reading the spag boll references. Probably the 1st "exotic" food when us working class were becoming more adventurous with our pallet, certainly the 1st attempted to cook at home. My mam made great ones, we all loved it, apart from dad. It would have fallen into his "foreign muck " category at the time. That changed when the ability to eat out and enjoy holidays outside of the UK was no longer the preserve of upper and middle class. He would eat it but drew the line at spaghetti, we had to have it with chips. Mam expanded into chile con carne. Came home one day after looking f
