Just telling my kids at half time about the gang initiation we had as kids, we'd meet at the cut down tree and had to sniff fart spray for 5 seconds. temped to ask my old mates on facecock if they remember it.

In the 1940's, our gang's initiation was: The railway line crossed over Walton Hall Avenue between Littlewoods Pools building and the entrance to Walton Hall Park. It carried mainly goods trains which went very slowly. We dug a hole between the sleepers and anyone who wanted to join the gang had to lie in the hole while a train went over. Occasionally, someone got a drop of hot oil on them, this was a special 'badge of honour'. At the time, we didn't think it was that special!

This train business has made the fart spray gang look like a bunch of pussies.

The one with the Wild Dogs was just brilliant.

The camera work is second to none.

The Painted Wolves episode was the best one. They’re unusual in the way look out for each other.

I went to the Natural History Museum one Friday evening recently and there was a talk with two of the makers of that episode. One was a photographer who had been a fund manager in the city and left it all to follow his dream in 2012 and became one of the best.

I had jealousy and admiration for him in equal measures.
 
Planning on leaving my place of work this year as they're offering me an ok package to part ways. Just looked up employment law and it tells me that if I quit after 1st of July (i.e. second half of the year) then I am still entitled to my full year's holiday entitlement (29 days, of which I've already used 4 days). Get in. Roll on a five-week holiday end of May before accepting a severance package in July. Happy days.
