Vorrei Cantare Come Biagio Antonacci by Simone Cristicchi quirky but catchy. precdeded by Uptown Top Rankin by Althea & Donna. Also fairly quirky!

It wasn't snowing particularly hard, but hard enough to cause gridlock on the M62, I travelled from Jct 28 to Jct 22 and gave it up as a bad job - the road was shut eastbound anyway. So I turned around and retreated to Bradford. (which is what Sir William Fairfax did after the Battle of Adwalton Moor)

I've sen red kites over Eccup Resevoir

It's the mild winter keeping them in the country according to this http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2012/jan/22/birds-gardens-rspb-winter I know that on New Years Day, the bird table at my daughters near Stonehenge was swarming with chaffinches, bluetits, coaltits and starlings.

I don't know how long it is since it snowed in Hull, but I was there on Thursday and there are still huge piles of dirty snow lying about.

Come on Eileen, Dexy's Midlnight Runners.

Been snowing in Morley this morning, but it feels warmer than of late. Forecast to get warmer as the week progresses, I hope it doesn't snow on New Years Eve, we're due to drive to Salisbury.

http://newsthump.com:80/2010/12/20/spare-a...ay-uk-homeless/ Miriam Chimpney-Waters has been at Heathrow for over 11 hours, and despite being stupid enough to think that her flight would be flying out as scheduled, is angry that she is suffering an inconvenience.

I used to work with a bloke who shot pheasant. I went for a weekend to Holland and brought back 400 duty free cigs and swapped him for a brace of pheasant. We cooked them wrapped in bacon, but they came out dry and tasteless, and full of lead shot. Never been tempted again.

We nearly had goose last year, they had frozen geese in Lidl, at a good price, but we chickened out and had turkey (geddit) It's all the fat you get with goose that worries me, and will there be enough, or it there's too much what to do with the residue. I even bought a gravy separator to deal with the fat, but didn't need it.

I worked in Cas for 10 years from 1981 to 1991 and never saw any significant snowfall there. I reckon the heat from Ferrybridge, Drax and Eggborough has something to do with that.

It's coming either tomorrow, Thursday or Friday

Tinned soup! We can't afford luxuries like that.

Got a snow shovel at a garden centre - B&Q don't stock them. I also got a bag of rock salt. It's being so cheerful that keeps me going

In view of Paul Hudson's warning that we are in for another bad winter, I went to B&Q to buy a new snow shovel - I broke my last one last winter. They hadn't got any

Days - Kirsty on U tube Ten years this Christmas

You know what they say "show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser"

Concrete kite then?

There used to be a lot of publicity in the seventies when the likes of Bobby Charlton and Dennis Law used to turn out on Friday nights to watch the then star studded Salford.

Perhaps referees would do well to remember Robin Whitfield and Jeff Grayshon.

And the Bulls with Potter?

It happened to Halifax at the HJ last Sunday.

I had to pick a friend up in Barnsley. Left Barnsley about 3-15 travelled over Woodhead and parked at Brooklands Metrolink accompanied by part of the usual large Hull contingent, we were at Old Trafford Cricket ground by 4-30. Coming back, we took the wrong road from the station and couldn't find the car Found it at 9-00, back in Barnsley at 10-00 and home at Morley 10-30 I thought that was pretty good. There's a lot to be said for travelling on the Metorlink the opposite way to most supporters

Best team won by a mile. Wigan played all the football and it could have been forty. The one thing that bothered me was the incident where Saints raked the ball in a two man tackle when the Wigan player was about to ground it. for me that wasn't a penalty - it was a penalty try. Saints dropped far too many passes, missing Pryce and Eastmond, their other key men didn't seem to fire. Graham had a (for him) very quiet game. Not a classic, a bit too one sided for the neutral. The Max Wall contingent behind us left after the hour convinced the game was over - I wasn't - but they were right it was.

Well from what I saw on Sunday Oldham didn't seem to have a clue how to break down the York defence.
