What'd I Say - Jerry Lee - greatest white blues man no error.

Hunslet 16 - 26 Featherstone
I think the attendance will be pushing 700 tonight dependent on how many you bring?
Parkside - wow!

We were stood right at the point where Ross put the ball down, unlike the Catalan game 2 years ago, the ball this time was grounded 6 inches short, definately no try.
Well I had a side on view from the railway end terrace and he appeared very briefly to ground the ball on the line. However, I'll not argue about it - but I was not alone in this opinion.
-
Well, who expected that?!
Not me. I thought it would be tight. As it was second half. But then with all the penalties Batley were awarded how could it be any other? Plus Divorty's disallowed try. Hicks said knock-on - no way it was right in front of me and he put the ball firmly on the line. Not to worry good result for Fev.

Robert Hicks is from Oldham. He was featured in GameOn the other week. It says it in there
If it's the same Hicks who sent Handforth off at the end of the 2008 season then he's from Lancashire. I thoroughly detest him. I'm not justifying Handforth's behaviour but it was mainly provoked by the referee's "puzzling" decsions including allowing a Leigh try when the player was clearly (to everyone else anyway) in touch.

Quail is farmed (more fat), and can be roasted pretty vigorously. I tend to just season them well with salt and pepper, stuff a couple of cherry peppers inside, then sear them in a pan before roasting.
I've had quail - off a van at a market in Italy - very tasty.

More of the stuff.
I am currently drafting a letter to God pointing out that we're in the Home Counties here and the only proper snow we're meant to see is on Christmas cards and skiing holidays.
I started work for a company at Cherstey in Surrey, based right next to the River Thames. It was March 2nd 1970. I travelled down on the train to Kings Cross and then Waterloo to Weybridge. There was snow everywhere. When I arrived the flood plain of the Thames at Chertsey was frozen. I was reliably informed that this was somewhat unusual in the Thames Valley.

Yorkshire's first 2010 fixture is 6 weeks on Friday.

Haha i'm doing similar but just with Fish and Meat.
Had Plaice for the first time and have had it again recently. I know it's not that wild but like I say I haven't had it. Good luck with tripe!!
I know that IKEA have Moose lasagne and Reindeer salami. On my list I have Goose and Pheasant and both are easily accessible. I saw quail in a local supermarket too. Try a fresh meat market and ponder at the "back row" of the butcher's stall as the so called less popular/known meats are there.
We nearly had goose at Christmas. But it was sooo expensive compared to an Asda turkey. I'd bought all the tackle for having goose, including a fat separator too. However, a day or so after we'd bought the turkey we saw frozen geese in Lidl at about half the price of the Asda turkey
I'm still not sure I'd have had the confidence to cook it though.I've had pheasant. It's a few years ago. I used to work with a guy who shot (and smoked) so I swapped him 200 Regal Kings bought in Spain for a brace of pheasant. Can't say I was impressed. It seemed dry and tasteless.

I once ate steak tartare. We were on a long weekend trip to Paris. We'd been to Versailles Palace and went into the town for lunch. Sat outside the restaurant, the menu of the day was a choice of steak tartare or stewed tongue. Helen opted for steak tartare - she's not fond of tongue (yes Mick) She thought steak tartare was steak with a tartare sauce. The other thing to remember about Helen is that she absolutely hates eggs served in any way except baked in cakes or Yorkshire puds. Imagine her face when a pile of raw minced steak with a raw egg on it appeared in front of her. She ate the tongue - I ate the steak - with tabasco. It was ok. I'd have it again.
Another French egg dish best avoided IMO is oef's flotant. Which is an egg custard with poached egg whites floating in it. A bit slimey TBH.

Emu.
Snails.
I wonder if emu tastes like ostrich? There used to be an ostrich farm on Toftshaw Lane, Bradford, but I wouldn't know if it's till there.

Oh, and it doesn't matter if it's not the most delightful thing ever, just something I haven't tried, like tripe.
Tripe is very nutritious. If you have honeycomb tripe cold and put pepper and vinegar on it, it taste of pepper and vinegar.
I've eaten frogs legs deep fried in batter in the Turin area of Italy. They have the texture of chicken but taste a bit fishy.

Very disappointed with the result yesterday. Ronnie wasn't to blame for us failing to win, it was the decision making on the field by our own team. Twice in the first half we had an overlap (or two) on the left side with the try line beckoning and the pass wasn't made. In the second half when we had the 6 point lead we had a couple of kickable penalties which we didn't take and should have gone for the drop goal earlier just in case we missed the first attempt.
When I got in the car I listened to a bit of the Chelsea-Arsenal game and thought we were pretty much like Arsenal yesterday. Looked good but lacked that killer finish. I know there's plenty of time but if we are to do well this season we should be finishing teams off.
Credit to Sheffield they stuck in there and never gave up.
I couldn't go because we had visitors
But at least it sound better than the first home performance v Dewsbury last season - when we were dreadful. (they were good mind) -
According to Paul Hudson it'll be back next week with a vengence

The weather forecast for Leeds for midday is +2 degrees - + 3 by 3 o' clock, so if it gets a bit of sun on it through the morning I reckon it should be on.

Today's forecast "heavy snow" was a big let down.
Unless you were around Gloucester, in which case you're probably still stranded around the Birdlip Hill area.
Today I had a delivery to do. In Gloucester.
Access via Birdlip from the a436 side, delayed by all of 5 mins, those on the A417, hours and hours and hours....
All we had in duckville was 5 mins sleet....
Duckville? Aylesbury?

What happens if Cameron gets in in May? Who knows what sort of deal he's done to get Murdoch's backing?

In the 1995 semi Hanley spent the entire game running in front of the ball carrier and talking to the ref. In the last ten Molloy had finally had enough of this behaviour and hit Hanley. He was put on report. But if the ref won't sort out a problem what can the players do? I thought we had good value from Steve. But then I think we had good value from most of our "ex Leeds" crew at that time. Ikram, Steve, Carl Gibson, was Maloney playing for us then?

Nah , they wrapped him up in swaddling clothes , there was no mention of a nappy.
There is you know. "a nappy Christmas"

Christmas trees and decorations shouldn't come down until the 12th day of Christmas (6th January)
It brings bad luck if they come down before then ....... Jesus said so.
How could he, he was only 12 days old.

February 1983. I promised my lad to take him to watch Rovers v Batley in the CC 1 st round. It was called off because of snow, so we went to Whitwood Mere instead and saw Hooper Swans - only time I've ever seen one.
The game was played at Belle Vue, the following Wednesday or Thursday, the field may have been playable but the terraces were lethal. I remember a copper falling over and everyone laughing at him :closedeyes: Anyway we won and the rest as they say is history.

The met office forecast a "barbecue summer" and a mild winter. December was the coldest for 13 years, why do they bother?
Ref today
in Featherstone Rovers

I didn't think he did badly. When you've won 54-18 you can't really complain about the ref. I don't know how many penalties he awarded, but there weren't many.
I used to have a customer called Leatherbarrow in Kirkby (Liverpool) It is an unusual name.
