Where have the cyclists gone? 40 years ago you would never see an adult playing out on a bicycle, other then genuine people keeping fit or "odd balls". I witnessed a rise in the number of cyclists out and about. Reached plague proportions a few year ago. Now they are a rare sight. Have they gone the way of the jogger? Some type of virus from imported Chinese lyrca? Very strange, not complaining though.

I enjoyed 1st and 2nd series. Pleased that on 2nd they do state it is not a history lesson. Daft thing is most of the incredulous things are true. The most poetic licence is how they portrayed Paddy Mayne. 6' 2", the actor looks a lot smaller. And I don't think he was an anti-establishment working class hero as portrayed. A hard as nails great soldier and officer.

I remember the Brococks, just before PCP tech got perfected. Seemed a good idea at the time. Best/worst that I seen was a converted .303 SMLE. A travesty.

The mountains, fields and streams is the cliche, I would add derelict neglected industrial wastelands. Those were/are the places that I've always been happiest in. I used to think that it was because I was out in pursuit of game, and it was/is. But not until I stopped going the those place that I realised that it was not so much the hunting that I missed but the places themselves. Ironically these days areas of outstanding natural beauty are fairly easily accessible, the neglected industrial wastelands seem to have gone and those were the places that were the happiest places to hunt.

SAS: Rogue Heroes season 2 "drops" 1st Jan. Obviously I haven't seen it yet and it's not film but should be worth a watch.

edited to say that she never lost the love.

The poor lass never really knew what she was. But believed in a God. A God being basically love. Nothing to do with religion. Despite the love being battered out of her from an early age.

Shut up man, you've been everywhere

Too much booze, my apologies IWW.

Come on man, chin up. Easier said than done I know. Get yourself a deerhound/greyhound, a better one that Charts!

Panic has just set in. My FAC is due for renewal shortly. I must edit previous post. Just got the whiff of cheap perfume.

It's just us.

Jesus Christ bonny lad, merry Christmas.

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

Apparently God works in mysterious ways?

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

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.

I was brought up a Roman Catholic, we used to call it Stations of the Cross

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

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

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!

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.

Shane McGowan, Christmas Lullaby, away with ya now...

That's it! Ain't no Blithe Spirit but better quality fleeting glimpse of Sealyham than in The Birds

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.
