My favorite part is the seal beating. Not sure what that says about me, but it's what sent the coffee through my nose. :)Renee Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14142341397085289166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644036152805047632.post-70683112570566600372011-11-04T14:40:44.220-07:002011-11-04T14:40:44.220-07:00Only Mike can answer that, Maria, but loan sharks ...Only Mike can answer that, Maria, but loan sharks are pretty rough in Liverpool.Mike Keytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15116528233058221536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644036152805047632.post-18355995379249249252011-11-04T14:30:42.016-07:002011-11-04T14:30:42.016-07:00Cousin Mike: This begs the question: Why are you d...Cousin Mike: This begs the question: Why are you doing this job on purpose?

It was my childhood ambition, but things happened. And, despite Mike's horror story, the ambition, though thwarted, remains undimmed.

Newfoundland seals are dashed tricky to get hold of in the Pennines. <br /><br />However, I'll be off to the pub shortly so will be able to do the 'big mental asylum' thing.
