Every single time he gets admired the Mrs announces he's her dog. But when he's covered in mud he's mine?

So would you be if you fell asleep in Yorkshire, woke up in Cumbria and discovered someone had moved your bed and changed your house.

I reckon that Jo Swinson lass will be our next Prime Minister.

I didn't think it would take too long. Welcome to Canning Town

Utterly batsh*t crackers, thank God I don't live anywhere near their 'protests'!

Quite a few old and disused railway lines around these parts, Beeching mostly got them closed. The dog sometimes comes across the remains, he spots them faster than me. This is the eastern end of the westbound platform of Bubwith station. Below is how it was early sixties, looking east...

Friends live on a farm in a small village. Their 4x4 had to go in to the dealer for a major repair so they got a courtesy car. The farm is muddy, it's sluicing it down with rain, they're harvesting maize. The roads are narrow and covered in mud, tractors are up and down like a yoyo, with 3.5t...

I have two 18 month old pups and a senior idiot. They're all completely barking, obviously!

If I must give up a few days to help out then there are far worse places I guess. Bowcliffe Hall near Bramham, where the annual horse trials are held. It's Leeds Festival at Bramham at the moment, and the Drivers Club here at Bowcliffe do a mean bacon and egg butty. Pray for me ;)

It's a complete puzzle to me...

Seen at Glastonbury. A fence right around it and £250 to get in. 🙃

Got a bit distracted a year or two ago. Some grandchildren appeared, I'd love to post pictures but the parents prefer not. Got some more Labs, posted below. Stumbled over some chap commenting on country sports. Being a gobshite I obviously had to comment, see your point mate but it's such a...

It's a decent old bus. High mileage, cheap, working my way through a few minor irritations. It's a Volvo S80 D5 2002. After about 20-30 minutes driving the fuel gauge drops to zero, closely followed by the Miles to Empty Tank display. First finger of suspicion pointed to the DIM (Driver...

Merrily implementing FreeNAS for an in-house backup solution. The filesystem is ZFS. You have to implement a ZVOL to get Raid but no worries, figured that bit out. It's the connection part that confused but, hey-ho, it supports iSCSI. So, I connected it to several servers. This was unwise. It...

Following an extremely annoying cold call last weekend... I was unusually polite on the first pickup, merely saying sorry, not interested, although I did then hang up. Me bad. The idiot then called back so I ripped into him. This resulted in one-minute call-backs until I unplugged the...

I don't believe it did but, like the Trump vote, it revealed, or highlighted, a split that has existed for some time. I would be interested in what others think.

A recent project involved a company-wide system refresh which yielded numerous desktops, laptops and net-books that were destined for recycling. Most of the desktops were long past their sell-by date as were many of the laptops. The net-books, on the other hand, presented an opportunity as they...

I cannot help but be amused by this. The Government put up no more than a perfunctory fight in the High Court. Some would suggest no more than a delaying tactic. As for the Supreme Court, surely a televisual spectacle of little consequence? Others more learned than myself have...

The 'I love you Nick' is already taken!

The easy part, obviously, was ripping it out. The hard part was replacing it with a shower before the father-in-law got back from his holiday in Cyprus two weeks later. Not quite done but the shower works and he is well happy.
