Just seen this!

Have I told that story on here?! 

Totally forgot if I have ha ha

Was my old Lab, Big Sam!

I used to walk him on Moor Park playing fields where a row of houses backed on to with some woods in between.

One gardens fence was down as I walked passed and I noticed there were a family singing happy birthday to a little baby and all tables and bouncy castle thing set up outside. All very pleasant I thought as I strolled in the sun.

Got a bit further down the field and shouted Sam. Thought he was simply mooching about the woods sniffing stuff.

He came bowling out with a steaming hot gammon joint. I looked back and he'd clearly come from the house where the party was. He'd whizzed in the open door and nicked the prize meat fresh out the oven and no fucker had noticed.

I had no choice but to run :D

I often wonder about how many times theyve told the tale of the day their gammon joint disappeared in to thin air :D

Local deer stalker left me a vennison liver... left it on the kitchen table and went up the Co Op to get some single cream and dijon mustard... got back and the little four legged twat was laid on his bed burping and farting like a guddun

Haha you’ve got to love labs the thieving greedy fuckers

Back in the day I lived next door to the Summerhill Hotel off Belmont Road. Their black lab casually wandered into our kitchen and stole the joint that my mum had left on the side. She marched into the place on a busy Sunday lunchtime playing merry hell and the owner denied all. Cue mother pointing out to the owner and all the Sunday lunch patrons the dog sat on the lawn outside the restaurant window tucking into a roast beef joint :D

When I had my own golden lab it stole the Xmas cake that my mum had made and shit it all over the kitchen the next morning. Followed that up by stealing a bottle of cooking oil, drinking that, and leaving that as a present when I woke up!!

Well, Dave appears to be arriving slowly, but so far he's a bit powder puff.

Supposedly a lot worse further north though.

Had to chase my cap up Oxford Road yesterday it was like a wind tunnel by the old BBC place.

Could be by the middle of this century that AMOC collapse becomes inevitable.

Scientists reckon it’s now 50% plus chance of happening.

Europe will be fucked

Proper rough in this tin can last night/this morning.

Glorious in the North Lancs hinterlands now, though

Been to Queensland many times mate. You are correct. Some of the rains they get there are fucking biblical. 40 days and 40 nights and all that.

That line about 'lightning crack over cane fields' wasn't for no reason.

Well, Kent has no water - doing run to the old folks on our street. People cant get to work because of water queues. And i still pay £290 a month.

Nightmare.

That’s going up if they need to build a desalination plant to cover all the swimming pools at the migrants hotel

Was talking with a land-owning developer client near Cambridge this morning... he's actually just brought a load of olive trees... olive groves instead of potatoes on his farms next year?

Me and the lass cracked open a bottle of Robin Hoods Bay wine last week after Wembley and it was bloody beautiful.

They build thousands of houses year on year our population swells year on year yet they don't build any new reservoirs.

We need to start drinking sea water.
