Spot on Tim it was Ghost Ship.

I have found that I have had IBS and after a lot of trials it seems alcohol has been a trigger. I have been looking for an alternative to alcohol and I'm experimenting. At home I have found I can make a very pleasant " dry" drink.i haven't got a sweet tooth so this works for me 3 green tea bags, about 3 or 4 table spoons of lemon of lime juice (a whole sliced lime works too) a few sprigs of mint and a litre of cold water. Infuse over night in the fridge and enjoy the next day. Of course this won't work when out at a pub etc and so I have been trying the non alcohol beers. I'm not really a lager drinker so the only one I have tried so far is one with a ship on its label ( I was so unimpressed that I can't even remember it's name) The Guiness one is excellent BUT like others I seem to get a headache next morning after only 1 can! Looking back upon thus thread there are a few for me to try when I find them Erdinger Leffe Bavaria Brew Dog Howgaarden Peroni Corona Shipyard Pale Ale ( that wasn't the one I tried) And Nowt Mary by Ilkley So I've got plenty to choose from

Well a wins a win.Rochdale from 16-0 found away to frighten the life of the Canes.at HT and 10- 0 up and knowing they had a strong wind at their backs it looked to be going so well. That was reinforced for the ' Canes with the first try of the second half. Unfortunately no-one told the Hornets they were beaten. They very nearly brought the Midlands to another home defeat. They clawed the game back to 16-16 and when The home side coverted another try it should have been done and dusted BUT Rochdale made it 22-20 and their failed conversion proved to be their nemesis. It's a tough, competitive league this season

What a great result. It was everything I love about the Raiders, Heart, Passion, Skill and sheer hard work WHat an asset we have in Cresta. How he keeps on lifting this team and us boggles my mind. I watched on Lounge TV. That was one of the best fivers I have ever spent. ( on a downbeat note some of the camera work was poor. The last Bradford try was out of shot..but who wants to watch tries against us?).the Cresta knockers are very quiet.

Sometimes you just have to say the better team won. To say the Hurricanes probably had their worst performance of the season ( arguably their 2nd) is not being fair to Cru. It's no coincidence that those two performances were against the same team. Which in its self is shows that Crusaders were the best team. Hopefully when (if) we meet in the playoffs BOTH teams will know that that game will be the most important of them all. Cru will know that they will be favourites and the Canes will know that IF they do turn up they can beat what is THE best team in the division ( so far)

And they were excellent!

He was wearing a jockstrap but at sometime in the 70/80's they went out of fashion Any one know when they were replaced by budgie smugglers?

Newcastle by 50. For some strange reason the bookie smiled at me when he took my money. What's that about?

I'm with you on this Griff. My perception comes from my last 3 or 4 visits to Cougar Park. In my opinion ( and this was echoed by my Keighley friends) was that the " message" was far more important than the actual rugby. Last season there was an internet spat between another Chairman in League 1 and the owners of Keighley. The Director's of other clubs chimed in and the overwhelming consensus was that the issues that they understood that Keighley wanted to highlight the issues that those in the LBGT community have had encountered. BUT, they thought that at a rugby game "Rugby" was the main issue. Fans stand shoulder to shoulder with the people wearing their colours regardless of politics, race, religion or creed and hopefully of regardless of the minefield that is gay rights. Those two hours or so of rugby give us the chance to leave the other IMPORTANT things behind in the company of others that are like minded. There is definitely a feeling of schadenfreude with Keighley's table position. Not against our mates that are hurting but against "The Club" who just seem to have lost their way. On a match day I want rugby not politics. Right I'm ready, I've got my crash hat on and I don't give a flying #### if anyone is upset.

Full time Hornets 10 'Canes 22. I take the full credit as I wasn't there to put the mockers on them

On a lighter note. I was talking to a patient the other week and remarked that she and I both had arthritis. She was most indignant that she had not got arthritis. I asked her what she thought she had got and she quickly replied " I've got Early Onset Rigor Mortis "

They were both and still are in Lancashire. Welcome to Friends of Real Lancashire Friends of Real Lancashire are concerned to promote the true identity of our county which has been extremely confused in the minds of some people, especially those working in the broadcasting and newspaper industries, since the local government reorganisation of 1974. The Government at that time stated that the "new counties" were administrative areas only, and that the boundaries of traditional counties such as Lancashire had not been changed. Unfortunately, the media refer to these administrative areas all too frequently and ignore the fact that places such as Barrow-in-Furness, Liverpool, Manchester, Warrington, etc. are still in Lancashire. If administrative areas had not been called counties much of this confusion would have been avoided. The Royal Mail has at last dropped the use of administrative county names in postal addresses, and names such as Cumbria and Merseyside do not appear in the current Royal Mail Postal Address Book.

Yes, the Kippax incidents were as Tim related. As for the Fetherston Lions, Tim would have been amongst the crowd and would have been more exposed than me. As a general rule of thumb I found the west of the Penines were more welcoming ( I'm happy to admit as a Lancastrian by birth I may be biased) Tim as his Username suggests is of the White Rose persuasion ( that's the curse he has to live with) and has no reason to single out his fellow Yorkists. Favourites Cardiff, Underbank ( despite the stone wall touchline). And of course Craven Park Barrow Worst Filtrona Park, Gateshead, Whitebank. But for the least welcoming ( a part from when Jon Flatman was Chairman and when Kevin Hayes was a sponsor, they had been involved in RL in the Midlands) has to be York. To be fair they have improved since they moved to the LNER from Bootham Crescent and the union clubs they used to use.

I watched it. I would definitely be prepared to pay. In fact how can I pay ? It was worth a tenner If "The Man " reads this how do I pay Steve?

Hurricanes were at 12 --0coming up to half time and pushing to go further when Matt Reid pinched an interception on the hooter. Then whatever Carl Forster said certainly worked. Cru dominated the second half and with 20 unanswered point took it to 12-24. The Hurricanes flattered to deceive with a converted try 18-24 with 8 minutes to go. A drop goal from Dally probably would have clinched it but another try on the hooter gave the Cru a deserved win.18-31. League 1 is a belting competition this season.

Don't blame the Ref. Today's referee has been getting good reviews. She reffed the Hurricanes v Dewsbury last week and she did alright. I think today was a bit of fall out from the Lords Mayor Show last week. On top of that it was a short turn around. It might not have been pretty but the lads did the job. What more can you ask?

No, it's true. I read it on here. After all this IS the TRL fans forum

Thanks mate. I watched it

I saw one the other day, It said if an unfranked stamped envelope is delivered. If you dampen it and put into the microwave it can be peeled off. As it happens I had one delivered today and of course purely in a spirit of enquiry I thought I might try it. Now of course it would be illegal to fraudulently reuse it. But it took about 3 x 30 seconds to peel off and felt sticky without the little security widows being damaged. Any other little tips?

I've had very similar. I was staying at the Casino Hotel in Douglas IoM. The fire alarm went off in the middle of the night. The roll call was held in the the rain was persisting down. After a while we were allowed back in to dry out. A few later I received a letter of apology and an explanation. It seems the cleaners had set the alarm off in swimming pool. I was offered as recompense 10% off a one night stay at the same hotel! Fast forward a few years and I was the England Lionhearts RL in Belgrade. We played Serbia in a two game series. It was clear that the local referee was not up to it after the first game. The RFL flew out a proper Ref for the second game. He stayed at our hotel and we too, him out on the town. He (and us all) liberally took part in the local plum brandy. He was very very drunk and went off to bed leaving the rest of us in the bar. After a while the night Porter came up to me and frantically pointed down the corridor. There stood stark bololck naked was the ref. We took him back to his room and put him to bed. Next morning I was first up for breakfast and to my surprise the next one in was the ref. He sat with me and I asked him how he was. He told me he was fine. I said are you sure, and asked him if he knew what he had done last night. He shook his head and said he didn't. So I to.d him he was walking round the naked in his birthday suit. His reply? "Oh not again"

How do I watch it please?
