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.

Paul Newlove was a superb centre both at club and international level. The try he scored in the opening test of the 1990 tour is an example of his power. The tries he scored against NZ the year before were examples of his pace. He made Owen Simpson look like Offiah, after he left Fev Owen was never the same player. I believe he did the same for Anthony Sullivan at Saints. In the 1992 Melbourne test he had a brilliant game at the highest level. Put it this way, I wish he was available for both Fev and England today.

The dark side?

I haven't been to York since they played at Clarence Street. In fact I don't think I've been there since we played them in the Yorkshire Cup and Paul Lyman scored an individual long distance try.

I remember reading on here oh two years ago that Pryce was on his way back to Bradford and Lockyer would replace him at Saints. Hasn't happened yet.

I went to the 1982 CC replay between Hull and Widnes, it was a great night.

Fev won the toss and chose to kick!

Martin Pearson. Pace of the mark, reliable goal kicker. Looked like he'd be the next GB no 6 in 1995.
