@werdermouth - Thanks for all your efforts because, without you, we wouldn't have a workable Blog or maybe even a Boro Blog at all.
@jarkko - You don't get this sort of information on other football blogs, do you?
@werdermouth - Good link, that, Werder, to a Guardian take on Rooney maybe being an "unwanted guest" at the club that now bears his name. Thanks. I...
@pedro - That is a bit of a surprise, to me at least. I guess that, with a new manager and not having a game to play for 2 weeks, Brum should bring a ...
@lenmasterman - Cheers, Len.
Well, gentlemen, as soon as the International Break ends, news starts again. Or rather "Opinion pieces". In Teesside Live's Midlands sister ("Birmi...
The support is heartwarming, lads. Thanks.
@john-richardson - Thanks for that, John.
@jarkko - It is certainly true that for centuries British sailors have travelled the world. Explorers and sailors like Captain James Cook charted many...

I (or rather Mrs Dormo) am currently being hit by an avalanche of pictures of penguins being snapped by our friends trekking in South America, from wh...
@original-fat-bob - If asked to dance a Tango I think I'd want to shrink into one of the cracks in the floor. And to do it in Buenos Aires...? Gulp!...
@werdermouth - Almost on the same page but here goes... I know and worked in a number of cases over the years with an excellent barrister, not a you...
@jarkko - Good Luck to Marcus Forss tonight. For those still marking time until domestic League football returns at the weekend, when PROPER mountai...
Further to my post at 5.20pm on 12th October my friends have NOT (yet?) moved to some Chilean wineries but are now on their way to Tierra del Fuego AK...
@lenmasterman - "It's cost me a bottle of sherry" must be one of the one of the least worrying examples of jeopardy to be experienced. As it happens,...
@lenmasterman - That would be a great epitaph: "...above all, he was proudest to have been considered, when drummed out of the Cubs, a disgrace to t...
@clive-hurren - Great stuff! I know the medical etc insurance goes through the clouds when approaching 70 or so if you have existing health issues. Th...
@stircrazy - Thanks for the links, stircrazy. I hadn't previously realised that Bamber Gascoigne had been used as a "celebrity witness" when the Golde...
@werdermouth - For various reasons I have had a couple of days away from the Blog but your post from 13th October was very interesting and the photogr...
The golden hare WAS found by a couple of chaps who had worked out the clues and dug it up. I don't recall Bamber Gascoigne being involved, though. Mu...
@powmillnaemore - OUTSTANDING! If I could give it three thumbs up, I would.
@stircrazy - Nice one! I thought I'd seen a typo after the piece was posted, but I can officially confirm it wasn't THAT one. I had some recollectio...
@martin-bellamy - Thanks, Martin. It just so happens that our friends with whom we go camping regularly do serious trekking. They won a competition ...
@k-p-in-spain - Any win will do.
@john-richardson - Thanks for that. Funnily enough, I re-watched the goals at Sunderland again last night. Might be due another go at it....
@lenmasterman - Very Punny!
@jarkko - I should have got a job as a porter. I have a lapel badge saying PORTER in gold on a maroon background. I think I bought it from the railway...
@lenmasterman - Seconded.
Thanks for the kind comments, guys. And, yes,very interesting but also perceptive: Munro does feature in my family FOUR times (people, not pets and ...
