Never had one but always wanted one Never really had time and so wouldn’t have been fair
However Harry wants a puppy. Melissa is going to work form home long term and she loves dogs too. So now it’s possible
What make is best? Quiet and smallish and good with children preferably
Define "quiet"
We have had 2 cocker spaniels which proved to be fantastic family pets, however they are not "quiet" a bit crazy at times. They do enjoy cuddles, do enjoy play, robust enough to enjoy a long walk (once old enough - follow the 5 minutes a month rule) but small enough that you can get away with a couple of shortish walks or a walk and play in the garden.
27 years after it came out i’ve finally watched Schindlers List.
It sounds ridiculous but I just couldn’t watch it before as i knew how sad it would make me. As expected it was tough viewing but very well done.
One of my teachers made us watch that in secondary school in year 8 (I'm pretty sure it's a 15...)
Every so often the movie would be disturbed by the teacher opening his desk drawer, pulling out a handful of tissues, and passing them to various girls. Meanwhile, all the boys were pretending to be unfazed, but we were all looking around the classroom with our nervous fake smiles, wondering who was going to cry in class and probably be bullied for the next three and a bit years.
He has a thread on there that he started 10 years ago when he was playing $10 hu games
He got a little bit of stick for the title but i guess he’s the one laughing now
It’s fascinating reading. He’s also totally bonkers. I seem to recall that a while ago he was asking for advice on getting an assistant who could buy him different coloured pens for example
I played with him once or twice
He won a £650 pot v me at Dtd 😩
I called his shove on the turn with QJss on 10 8 x with 2 spades
He had K high and i missed
There was already a decent amount in the pot by the turn but it was really bad call. I should have donk shoved the turn myself
I was all in I remember the dealer gave him the pot and there was still a bit left in the middle He started shuffling and i asked if it was my change
He was really apologetic and said it was the rake and he’d forgotten to gather it

It’s almost as if it’s not that interesting that i played 4 dyms last night and won 3 of them for a £14 profit. Weird!
I do write about ‘stuff’ too but that misses as well i think

Need something lighter tonight so i’ve agreed to watch Dirty Dancing. I’ve obviously never seen it as i’m a bloke. She’s watched it about 20 times
Looking forward to seeing it even less now
I can’t believe Lee Marvin would be in a movie like that, I mean he proved he couldn’t sing in Paint Your Wagon.

Not the best choice for a school movie.
I’m going to watch the documentary Dealt this weekend. Trailer looks fascinating though may contain a plot spoiler!
Forget all those naff films. Watch the Murdoch Documentary on BBC. It's epic, best TV I've seen in many a moon.
am gonna get really wasted tonight
lets hope we get our $hit together for a better season in a few weeks

If you need something more cheerier...
Watched my first slapstick comedy in years the other day 'Vacation' (on Netflix). It isn't going to win any Oscars but was a chuckle
She was happy to catch up on 3 episodes of the Peter Crouch show
Do you mean The Holiday, Mark?
One of the modern classics along with Pretty Woman and Notting Hill

I felt a embarrassed and a bit of a twattt
I then got up and went home
