Good night

I've another 3 Videos of the Apprentice Boys, and 1 will be released each morning this week.

Hi James, long time since ive heard from you. Hope your keeping well. Theres no chance that ill be able to make it. Im working in Strabane and because of Christmas, im having to work longer hours. I didnt finish tonight until 7.45. Ill be at Londonderry this weekend, so ill check the parade commission website for starting times etc. Will you be at it. What band will you be with and ill keep a eye out.

@AustellHenderson no worries Austell. Let me know when you're back down this way and we can meet up. Will be with the Parent Club behind William King Memorial on Saturday. I'll give you a wave.

When i was at school in my younger days, the weans from a village called Donemama which is only around 7 miles from Strabane, wouldve spoken alot of ulsterscots words, and alot of them still would.. Radio Ulster have a Ulsterscots weekly program called Kintra. You can get it on the BBC radio app. The Education System and TV has weaken the ulsterscots. Schools dont teach spelling or reading in the ulsterscots.

The car has to be put back to normal for its mot and thats why all the changes that ive made can easily be taken out and put back in again without the need for any tools. Only tool i need is to remove the seats bolts and seat belt Tensionor. Ive made a video that shows how to undo the seatbelt Tensionor. The garage would use a special key but they wont allow a car to leave their garage without a working seatbelt, especially if the seat is still in place. Ive been driving this car and my last car without spare seats for at least 15 years or more and even when stopped by police for a security check, they have never brought up the lack of seats. As far as safety goes and things flying about the car if in a accident, all i can say is that i had a motorbike for 20 years before getting a car. Going to work all year round including the winter with snow and ice, and i reckon im still safer in my car as it is Than on a motorbike. As far as other safety goes, i dont speed, drive to close to cars in front, brake hard and only use AA rated Car Tyres. Not being in a accident in a converted car is safer than being in a high speed car accident in a car that still has 5 seats in place.

If only they put a wee sticker to day top of bottom would've made the job easier

Eatting is Luna's favorite hobby.

Have a merry Christmas yourself. Might be still November but the Christmas Parades has got me into the Christmas spirt. Ill be uploading Limavady's Christmas Cavalcade next week.

Ive no cards yet but the wee parade got me in a christmas mood. Doing a bit of black friday sale buying. I also went to Limavady Christmas Parade. Video probably be released next week

Ill probably buy it from Currys as they are giving 3 months apple tv for free. Just got a new credit card that will give me 5% cash back

Thanks for your comment. Most non Northern Irish folk cant understand my accent, but its the only one i have. Some have even suggested that i do subtitles, but my bad spelling would be even harder to understand than my accent, i reckon. As for Luna the x Lunatic, she my wee angle now.

The Diamond. The Diamond is in the middle of the walled city. The Four roads that leed of it are Bishops Street, Butcher Street, Shipquay Street & Ferryquay. Street. Ive filmed this from Bishops Street (Within)

@ be interested what the cities like 35 years on from when I was there. Hopefully more peaceful.

@Cowboyrider55 Its a beautiful City now. Cleaner, safer and lots of places to walk. I often walk Luna around the City Walls in the dark when theres very few people about, yet still feel safe. Lots of tourists visit his place daily. Derry Council put on lots of great free events that everyone can come to see. Ive just been to the Christmas Lights switchon yesterday and they had a Christmas Parade before hand and fireworks type thing around the tree when the tree was lite, and the place was packed with people and lots of weans dressed up. Ill have a video coming up soon. You need to come back for a visit.

@ thanks will do. I am glad the City has moved forward over the years.

Every town is the same now. Internet shopping done away with local shops. When people got paid weekly and had to go into town so they could take their cheque into a bank, to get it change, then they would do a bit of shopping while they where there. Only reason people go into towns now is to get their hair cut or the pub.

Sorry to say that the seat wont tilt forward. The older model of the picasso seat tilted forward because the car battery was stored below it. You could try using a vacum cleaner to suck out whatever is stuck in the rails or mybe a airline to blow it out.. a bit of wd40 might help to losen it.

Tnx for advice!

All i have is a gopro camera. No soom, no fancy mic. Tried it last year

I was off work for seven weeks and still had a sore knee for a few weeks after that. Dangerous hobby this youtubing, but as they say just get back on your horse and carry on.

She was a handful for the first two years but everyone tells me what a good girl she is now.

@@Knockseekfind It didnt all fo well at the start. Problem with Luna was her size. She could go under & over fences, through bushes along with her speed. She can run a mile in seconds. She wanted to chase birds and when getting into this very large field to chase the birds there was sheep at the other end of it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/amaynYtmnd-Nm6M

@@AustellHendersonloves her treats and chocolate 🍫 🐕🥰

Luna came from the USPCA Shelter in Newry and when i got her she had the skin condition called Menge, leaving her with no fur on her tummy and a cut ear. She was just 1.5 years old. Ill have her 3 years on the 29th December.

@@Knockseekfind Wee link below of the day that i got her. kzbin.info/www/bejne/raGZoGqehKqreM0si=ajlAN3MwpW7IieE-

@@AustellHenderson loves her chocolate 🍫 so cute 🥰 🐕

It must be around 40 years ago since i was last there. There were alot more people attending back then and they had a parade. My Mother Uncle was in the RAF during WWII, and he was parading that day. Its just a pitty that what few service men that are left cant hold a parade in the town anymore. Makes you wonder what so many of them died for.

Ive a few more Video's coming up in the next few days. Just need to get them edited. Londonderry always has a good turn out and the Royal British Legionfrom Strabane, had their Parade later that afternoon in the village of Magheramason.

@ I watched your video at Gracehill very good 😊 subscribe to your channel also your cabinet for meter installing Luna is a beautiful big dog 🐕

@Knockseekfind Thanking you. Ill let Luna know also. She be please that she's a big girl now. The 2nd part of the sideboard install video will be this Saturday. I keep my DIY videos to the weekends.

Thankyou ‼️

Good luck with it

@@AustellHenderson thanks 👍

Its just a fun night here for Children to go around dressed up and eating sweets. Nothing evil goes on these days.

Every year there's alway wakey stuff like this. Reminds me on some of the Mad Max's films. Just a pitty they weren't playing some music that I like.

Halloween goes on for a few nights here. Just seen the Back to the Future DeLorean tonight 😳

Its not what one says but the meaning and intent behind it. Im a vegetarian who went to Church and Sunday Shool in my younger years and i question everything including religion. You will never hear me say stuff like God Dam, Jesus Christ as it does say in the bible not to use the lord name in vain. As a non drinker i highly disagree when i see some apprentice boys, orange order or royal black take of their regalia during the day and enter a pub, many not being able to complete the evening parade when they come out. Theres a lot more sinners who are marching wearing their regalia than myself. Some religious people use their religion as a get out of jail card as and if or when they do wrong, they just asked for forgiveness again and again. I cant see in my own heart that someone who kills animals goes to heaven while i say fuck this, and that makes me a servant of Satan.

@@AustellHenderson i agree with you but i'm sure the Blackmen were disturbed. They are the hypocrites, not you.

Glad it helped

I grew up in Strabane and went to the Strabane High School and i had Mr Willson for my English Teacher for one year and he was a descendant from President Willson. Mybe if i had him for more than a year then my spelling might not have been as bad. Ill leave a link below for president willson parents home which is around a mile or so from Strabane. It belongs to Strabane Council and is rarely open kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGmZd4aGocaKjqc

European Heritage days takes place all over Europe but not all countries hold it on the same dates. In Northern Ireland its after the hoilday seasons over (September) The idea of it is not for tourist but for local people to see what on their own doorstep. Buildings that you mightve walk past but never been inside. The Republic of Ireland hold theirs on a different weekend but Im not sure what date. It might be earlier in the year. Some places like the National Trust try to catch people out and might only have a place free for a few hours. I have a few more videos coming up about a Village called Gracehill, just outside Ballymena, which has just become a World Heritage Site.. Youll be able to download a free guide from the internet.next year. Just type in World Heritage Day 2025 next year around june and july and the guide should be out. Hope that helps. I always prefer free stuff as im min wage but it usually means Luna is allowed while paid events Dogs are never allowed. Next week the Rainbow Rehomeing Centre for Cats and Dogs are having a sponsor walks for Dogs in Halloweem outfits around the citywalls. If i paid to take part then you must follow rules and keeping Luna on her Lead would be one. I can walk Luna anytime around the citywalls for free while off her lead anytime while on my own.

Glad to say that ill never have any more bother with mine as its now completely removed. Ive seen on youtube where some people would drill holes in a disused empty boiler. The problem i had was it was in winter when mine leaked but i still needed to keep the oil burner going to heat my home, but both the oil burner and back boiler headed my Radiators and hot water cyclinder. Its not a job id like to go through again.

Yes it’s messy, I have one to do this week not looking forward t it.
