Off Topic The Goodhand Arms

It's a strange one because they cared enough to include his belongings in a suitcase.

 

I'd want proof of sale, otherwise I'd suspect the previous owner to be bullsh!tting. Who sells a fully grown dog, ffs, especially when the owner has chipped the animal..? Very iffy.

 

Anyway, looked for the green comet, but as mentioned, the Moon is blasting everything out of the sky. Even the brightest stars are having a job showing up. Happily, as a pretty good substitute, the largest planet in the Solar System, Jupiter is out and is so bright itself even the Moon can't dim the glory. This was the typical arrangement. I didn't take this photo, but it's pretty much the arrangement I saw. It was clearer than this though, with the bands quite visible, even through my puny lunar scope:

Lastly, of course, there's the Moon itself. Why is it so sodding bright..? Because it's winter and there's very little dust in the air, so it's super bright and super detailed, even in it's near full-moon phase. Usually I find a half-moon is best for the contrast on the terminator, but tonight is extraordinarily clear. So of course I ended up looking at it. It's quite a distraction, let's be honest, to anyone who has their eyes mostly out of the gutter or away from their phone screen.

 

Osvaldo being Osvaldo.

 

According to odds checker on Twitter Ron koeman is now joint favourite to take over at Barcelona

 

I did wonder when I saw an article this morning about problems at Barca.

 

I do hope this is untrue......but if any team would turn his head it would be Barcelona he is an ex player after all.

 

3/1 is nothing. It only takes a few bets to make it that price.

 

God the media get carried away with their self-righteousness: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30698618

 

Keep positive, a New Year a new start enjoy life and be yourself, don't look back to the past with regret, you cannot change it.

 

That advice should tattoed to Saints fans forehead (in reverse of course so that it can read in the mirror) so that they can stop underestimating their team every week and just bloody well enjoy the future.

abstaining from alcohol is a bit easier than food I think
