My mistake, easier to spot a typo than a big f***ing feline.

I have just went back to the start of this Thread. Keepdiggin asked the question on 25/07/2025. So has any f****r caught one or at least have a picture of one? FFS!

Not scratch built but not too much of a cheat for mid-week. M&S dry cured smoked lardons, M&S arrabbiata sauce with a fresh Bird's eye chilli and clove of garlic added, penne pasta and finished with grated Parmigiano. Tastes better than it looks.

I often feel conflicted when seeing "down and outs", particularly when enjoying a pleasant evening in a city centre. Stopping to speak or giving money can result in criticism that you're a mug and it's all a scam or that they will only use the money to buy drugs. My reply is often that it's below zero, pissing down and this person is curled up in a shop doorway and whatever the reason for their current predicament their life obviously isn't going too well. Also the old adage there but for the grace of God go I I have a family member and a friend at the moment who don't have a pot to piss

In 2016 Newcastle fans joined in with YNWA at Anfield out of respect to the Hillsborough victims. A few seasons ago they joined in at St. James' Park following the death of Atsu. Our 1st home game is against Liverpool and fans are being urged to do the same. This time it may be a little contrived as fans are being asked to do it, but I have no doubt it would have happened anyway. This from the most disrespected and often despised section of society in modern Britain, disrespected and despised by modern politicians and MSM for many years. That part of society being white working class men. Just

Stealers Wheel will be dancing a jig, or maybe not. They're probably stuck in the middle.

Some great posts recently jukel123, really enjoyed reading them. Thank you. P.S. love the Rainy Night in Soho reference.

I wrote on this post about my parents being in a care home. Dad was having too many falls and 6 month ago we found out that he qualified for additional personal care due to his frailness and vulnerability. This has been re-assessed. The hours of personal care attendance has been reduced due to the fact that he has not had a serious fall in the last 6 months. Pure genius.

This is how it shows on a laptop or Chrome book, different on a phone.

Oddly enough I was talking to the lad who owned her at a funeral recently after not seeing him for many years. The bitch was a rescue, as people would say today, if memory serves he was doing some work at a cat and dog shelter and she came in. Didn't get claimed and so he took a punt. About 6 - 8 months old. Turned out to be a very good punt. He was pleased that I kept some pictures of her. Anyway, something I had not known, he took her along to a show when she was an old dog and a lad approached him and said that she had been his dog. She had a very distinctive look. No nastiness, his ki

Loved Hawick. Learned an important lesson on this farm. The sheep would sit tight out of the wind and jump up and run infront of the dogs. Learned that there is a difference between broken to sheep and bombproof. The terrier and lurcher in the pictures were 100%, another 1 was not. Another lesson learned, keep your hard earned permission to yourself!

Rabbits, terriers, and whippets bounce, big stupid stupid clever lurchers get themselves killed.

A few places, but most notably a particular place in Hawick, Scottish border, rabbits bolted by ferrets would use the sheep tracks but when under pressure would just drop down the hills. Shit or bust. My lurcher owning friends did not like it, my terriers loved it. All of a sudden they were travelling at 30/40 MPH and keeping up with a rabbit.

Form and function over closed gene pool and breed "standards".

It could be worse, it could be snowing. Imagine shovelling snow in this heat?

Imagine how massive that would be, a Newcastle player with both Geordie and Saudi heritage? No matter what, already such an achievement for the lad to be part of the PSG machine.

The Banshees of Inisherin: been meaning to watch for awhile, staring Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell, directed by Martin McDonagh, the 3 made In Bruges, 1 of my favourite films. Didn't work for me. The jokes were funny. But the depressing reality was too depressing. Boredom, isolation, and loneliness. None of the characters were nice, other than the sister Siobhan, dark comedy needs some sympathy for the tragic people, did not get that. At the end was happy enough for them all to chop their fingers off or jump into the lake.

Warick Davis to play Sun Mingming (his image is too big to fit in) Jodie Comer to play Joseph Merrick Tiddles to play Lassie

I've posted some rubbish photos of birds on here and this must be the worst, but for a reason. Some type of gull and thinking Herring. One of our jobs is nearing completion and the site compound got relocated to the next phase of works across the road. Some daft sea gull had built a nest on the ground. We've had problems and delays with pigeons nesting so it has been cordoned off. 2 chicks hatched today and wanted to photograph them but problem is her mate is on guard duty and attacks. I'm not scared of his attacks as he veers off before making contact but does sometimes shit on you. I was hea

Are you sure it's a Wood Pigeon? Looks like one of the new species that I thought I had discovered a few month ago.

War is the mid-wife of reform ... just popped into my head, the only thing that a history teacher at school who hated me said that has stuck with me.

I would draw to the attention of the jury that those tie wraps in the photographs have been used and cut off, most probably by a strip out crew or cable thieves, ipso facto not generated waste from an electrical installation.

A great song, but Shane himself did write a darker more poignant song IMO, the Dunes, the Great Hunger possibly being a better term than the Famine. People starved to death cannot be denied no matter the political evil behind it or not.

Note to self: the next "love job" that involves removing skirting and putting right the previous lazy spark's work removing surface sockets and flushing into wall... call in favours from plumber friends to take rads off the wall and collar an apprentice from work to chase for the back boxes.
