Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Evening everyone, another Friday and sadly another funeral. Today we bid farewell to our friend and neighbour of over thirty years. She was a larger than life lady kind, generous and funny. Her door was always open to anyone who fancied popping round for a cuppa with obligatory rich tea biscuit. She loved nothing more than dancing round her living room to Barry White, the BeeGees, etc. The humanist service ended with Tina Turner, Simply the Best, a fitting end for a one-off, Farewell, Marg.💙

Hope you are doing OK now Gwladys. Sounds like your friend had a great send off.

What a lovely tribute to your friend.
 
Good evening all. I hope you are OK. I have a dilemma- my hairdresser, who works from her home, is rehoming her cat. She has two quite demanding kids and a labrador as well as the cat and says she hasn't got time for him. She's just asked will I take him. He's a gorgeous tabby cat, really friendly, called Nacho, and I'm really sad she just wants rid of him - to the point of rethinking my hairdressing arrangements. I'd love to take him but I don't know how our cat would react. Anybody got any suggestions how to introduce two adult cats?
In other news, I went to the gym this afternoon. As I've told you the gym is inside Durham's cricket ground. I found myself a treadmill on the side that overlooks the pitch and got a free watch for about an hour of Durham getting absolutely battered by Northamptonshire!
I'm quite excited about our first match on Monday.
Have a good weekend all x
 
Morning all , I hope Gwladys is coming to terms with the death of her friend, unfortunately it’s what us older folk keep having to deal with. Two cats, I’d give that a miss Anj, in fact I’d also get rid of the one you have, but that’s just me who can’t stand cats………have a great day all btw……

As you all know I have an incurable cancer but I feel no different and actually the blood tests are quite normal ,so I would always have wanted a humanist service as I think it would be disgraceful to have a church service -for me or anyone else that is a non believer -now I have told the doctor that if my cancer is not the cause of my death then they may use my parts and in particular the bone marrow to try to help find why it was a simmering myeloma and perhaps get some more help in their research .Finally I might be of some lasting use to mankind .
 
Good morning all on this fine one here ,I hope all had a good night and have a great day today . I have a friend coming around to tune the quad -well actually get it running again ! So once again a video if it works .
I too am really excited about the footy we have much more up front than last season and the midfield is the same .Did anyone watch the presser as Moyes said he has a mole in the camp and he is going to find it ,tune in next week for the next instalment ,pulse racing and palms moist .
Have a great day all COYB
 
After weeks of deliberating I have started my sourdough starter ,we have fallen in love with the loaves from the super but they must think it is seasonal so have stopped selling it, there is only one thing to do ,make it myself . I have been reluctant as it needs constant attention and we don't want white bread in the week but needs must and it is another challenge .

I missed that, what’s all this about a mole and what have they done?…….
 
Had an all too rare but wonderful day out on town yesterday. Had an hour to kill before lunch so went down to the Pierhead to see Queen Anne and sit in the sun.

Town was buzzing, unfortunately RS shirts everywhere all of course with owners with foreign accents.

Met my former business partner and mentor ( a massive blue ) and we had a super lunch in the Ivy - great value BTW - and then another bottle of vino around the corner in Queens.

Anyway during the vino and perhaps induced by it we got into a conversation about the term "Scouser" to which my friend , born and bred in the City took exception deeming it to be perjorative and offensive. "How would you like it if I called you a wool " he said to which I replied "I am !"

Now I know that Scouser comes from lobscouse a stew which seamen ate and is associated with poverty but had never realized that some people took offense at the supposed stereotyping that this underlines.

On returning home I asked Mrs J who is also born and bred in the City of she took offense and her reaction was the complete opposite.

"Yes Scouser is a poor persons meal but look what we / the city have become , it reminds us of our roots. I'm proud to be a Scouser".

So there you go , I've lived here for over 40 years and had no idea that Scouser was so divisive. Every days a school day .

Be interested to have your views guys.

Will talk to Mrs J re integrating the 2 cats .

My advice is take the cat and find a new hairdresser, but you knew I would say that
 
I have just watched the presser and Moyes said as much ,he wants more goals but thinks he is a star .With Kiernan and Jack playing around him he could be our next Latchford . We just need a Davey Thomas to cross the ball ,he does like the ball in the channels so KDH and Jack will provede those and I hope they will ignoite Illi and Dwight as much .
Unfortunately the recruitment team misheard Davy.

They thought he said " I want more goalies " and signed him Tom King 😂

I'm with Mrs J on this. What really riles me up however is the way that the term is becoming synonymous with being a rs fan. I always correct anybody who makes that assumption.
