A xmas tale, no mans land and the dog inn Hagley Road!
I was the xmas DJ for free.
I liked the landlord & landlady at the dog, it was a inn back then. Roy and Pat were their names, with a son named Lee. I was entrusted with a free room also some nights, right next to the safe room that was full of money. Of course I never helped myself to any of it, and I guess that is one of the reasons they let me stay when I had stopped til silly o'clock in the AM.
A landlord at a pub/bar down the road had been robbed at gunpoint, with a double barrel shotgun stuffed down his throat, so having some free muscle around also helped. Rupert was his name, he had a stutter for life after that!'
So I hooked up some hi-fi to the pubs internal amplifiers and speaker system, with a mic too.
This was at the time I had my own hi-fi shop, so I had plenty of equipment to choose from. I also had a lot of cd's to give away as prizes. I bought them from the police lost-found stolen auctions in Birmingham. Hardly anyone came in to buy cd's, they were more interested in players, cd, turntables, amplifiers and speakers.
The Dog pub (inn) was typical with regards to a lot of pubs you see. One side of the bar was the locals who were teachers, the other side of the bar were the local rugby players. In the middle there was what was called no mans land & the singles, and that was where you normally found me. In no mans land (the land ladies terminology not mine) Is also where the ladies gravitated towards, not just some, nearly all of them, married or not!.
I had been asked if I would DJ for drinks and free dinner, of course I said yes, they had been very kind to me in the past, I even worked behind the bar for free, after hours, when the non-locals went home.
Competition time.
When I started the giveaway of cd's in between songs, there soon turned out to be a rivalry between the rugby guys and the teachers. To start off with the teachers were the first up the front to answer the questions and win a free cd. Notably agitated the rugby players decided to muscle in and move closer to where I was set up, so they could get to me first, to answer the questions and win a cd.
It was quite amusing to watch the teachers getting angry as they could not get to the front of the queue. Eventually they gave up coming forward as they did not want to anger the big guys, the rugby crowd, and the singles in no mans land never bothered to join in.
I put over 100 cd's by the door before the end, with a sign to say help yourself for free, so nobody left a loser.
I can remember the day well, up until around 10pm when I passed my decks over to a sober friend, the rest is a blur, though I dare say it ended well.That was my xmas tale, of a xmas past, scrooge is off to feed his flock of animals called cats and dogs, the strays that decided they like to live near me. I count 6 cats now, and 4 -8 dogs. On the deer front we have 6 also that stop by, I guess hunting season has not started yet.
Seems we have thousands of little birds also, that come for a feed, some not so little, some hunters called hawks.
I wish you all the most fantastic of days, I know some do not like or want xmas, it is though here all the same.

Same back to you my friend.
Have a great day looking after that flock mate.
Cheers my friend, you too.
Merry Christmas @shepz1...I'm hoping to wish you a happy holiday from Thailand next year :>)
I really hope you do, don't leave it tooooooo late bro, go and have some fun.
I'm just tying up some loose ends first...but, the plan is in the works for me to get there before I croak. Probably isn't as much fun there as a dead man?
Hmmm...the answer, doesn't it depend on whether you are looking forward to getting stuffed?
Just be careful, nowhere is as safe as it used to be.
You certainly are correct about that Arthur...and they won't even let you board a plane these days with a dagger for protection!?!?!?
Today is one of those days when I wish I had used the name you chose for yourself. I had to tell off two other posters for being narrow-minded and making statements without bothering to learn the facts first.
Oh, I just realised!! You are not PC!!!
You calling yourself a MAN!!!
Okay, that explains the why....
Well...I'm not at all surprised Arthur...There seems to be no shortage of retards, drunks, druggies and combinations of the three trolling along on the internet...
Your perspective comes from many years of personal experience, interest, research, and observations of which 'most' people posting here and elsewhere seem to lack; hence...great frustration.
Perhaps the 'Globalists'plan for elimination of the masses isn't such a bad plan after all???? How many truly 'good', intelligent and productive people have you encountered in life, compared with the reverse? Seems to me, that there are far more "mere food eaters" and "waste of flesh" type.
What concerns me most is, how the current trend loans itself to allowing mass infiltration of waste products from other nations to flood into countries where we already have too many 'home grown' scumbags...
Yet...suspiciously...the 'invaders' are not being turned loose on certain countries which have been developing into modern day utopias of sorts...Hmmmnnnnnn...Could it be that these are the lands which the Global Elite will be taking refuge in when the SHTF and the buttons are finally pushed for annihilation of useless underlings?
I cannot recall the name for certain, it is a film about the globalists (China) using emp on the USA. Before this happens, the real centre for the UN is Dubhai. Was it called Armageddon
In other words - we have already been told.
Have you ever asked yourself, why have the Saudis created a tented city for refugees, since they do not accept refugees? (I do not know the answer to that one)
