The Blog From The Bog; Disjointed rants and ravings of a fluently foul mouthed, ex pat living in Co. Leitrim, here giving full rein to his own quirkiness.
The character of " Ditch Shitter " having been forged, over years, on 'The Hunting Life' forum proved so strangely popular with enough people there, before I left, that their now constant drip of " Long time, no see; What ye up to? " notes has led me to answer them all, here.

One Year Ago, Today
Following an absolutely stellar decision, a couple of days before, I found myself staring up at This:
Yeah, I'm still around, just about. Took me a while, to actually figure out how I get back in here, to respond!
Dogs alright. But, stout? Christ, I haven't checked the date of my initial post, here. But, that was the end of my stout tasting career. God knows how long ago that was.
Hello Ditch Shitter. Did you by any chance used to frequent a James Herbert chat board? My Grandad was Rupert on the board and he left instructions for us in the event of his death. Trouble is, the board had shut down when it came to implement them. We lost Grandad in 2020 at 98. The government did him in with covid. The bastards sent covid patients back to his home and it was absolute carnage. He was doing really well, still had his marbles, could even ride a bicycle still. I bet he would have made it to 100 if the government hadn't euphanised him. Anyway, I was clearing out some old hard drives and came across this bookmark and it was labelled "Lyka from James Herbert". I know he enjoyed his chats on his various book forums. Not many 80 year-olds would book themselves on an e-learning course at the library but he was always learning new things. Anyway, if you are still in contact with other members of the board feel free to pass on the news.
Miranda; I'm stunned. I'll need to get off and get on with my day. Process this, properly. Wow. Rupe!
Hope ye posting left ye a button it looks like leaving me? " Notify Me "? That, or ye spotted the bit about 'for gods sake, Check Back! I DO get and publish these things.'
04:00, ye post. 11:30, I find it. Okay. I'll be back, before 04:00!
Your Grandad was a fucking Legend. Loved that guy.
Hope you're feeling better now Ditch!
ReplyDeleteFine, thanks, Frijj. LOL! Revealed a world of fucking pain to myself. But, I guess that comes with the territory?
ReplyDeleteNot sure if you're still alive and surrounded by dogs and stout, but I hope you are. - Seejar

Got some nice Shiny, going to waste here.
