Old Frightful

Boo!!!

Jagger scores for Huddersfield.

I have told this story before but anyway... Some years back, I spent a couple of nights in Faversham with my then gf. We were in a pub and the landlord came over to us asking if we liked the piped music being played. Turns out it was his son in law's band and they were doing a gig in the pub in a few weeks' time. I explained that we weren't local and wouldn't be able to attend. He asked where we were from and I replied "Hull, East Yorkshire". He replied "Oh, I have friends in Washington". I genuinely thought that, for some bizarre reason, he was just creating conversation by saying he knew people in the United States. Seeing my puzzled face, he added "Tyne and Wear", as though this was some kind of justification. I pointed out that Hull to Washington was almost two thirds the distance that Hull to Faversham was. He went off to collect some more glasses.

Was Jenna involved?

Some player that Murphy…

You are Isaac Newton and I claim my apple.

Tackled before he got the ball?

Apologies, must improve my grammar!

He had to turn round to pick the ball up!

I don’t need to thank you.

I said straight away that he hadn’t got it down. Thats all you need to know!

What’s with the commentator spouting “the original derby” as often as he can? Has his missus run off with someone from Hull?

No problem, thanks for taking part and a great shame you didn't win! #since1966

No bother pal, it was just a way of making it a bit more interesting, if indeed, that was possible!

Tiffers and RoyBoy295 have claimed two of the books on offer so Damien can pick the next followed by Hopie. Here's what's left : Rugby League - In its own words by Tim Wilkinson and Ray Gent (Ray, of course, once of this Parish "Saint Billinge" if memory serves) Rob Burrow - Too Many Reasons To Live Steve Prescott - One In A Million Sean Long - Longy (I managed to get an unsigned one)
