Nice one, Im interested in that book. I thought it was going to be mainly photographs. Is that not the case?
No there's quite a lot of text, including match reports from local papers. Only one mention of FEV though, Featherston RUFC too.

The Northern Rugby Football Union
The Birth of Rugby League
1895 to 1922.
By Les Hoole
I had this bought for my birthday. I've just finished it. It covers the period of the Northern Union, from its birth in 1895 to its name change to Rugby League in 1922. Teams, tours, RL Challenge Cups, personalities. I found if fascinating. I'd recommend it to anyone who's interested in the history of our sport.
I'd certainly recommend it to anyone from Huddersfield. Perhaps seeing how dominant they were in this period will awaken a new enthusiasm for the sport.
There are a few errors that a railway pedant like me would pick up on - like the LNER sending 5 special trains from Hull to a CC Final at Huddersfield, when the LNER didn't exist until 1922. But that aside | really enjoyed it.

Is Emmylou's version better than the original?

My uncle died. He's the first of my parents' generation on either side. The first little chink in the "if they're all alive then I'm fine" protection we all have.
That's very true. I remember my last uncle dying, in 1996. I said to my cousin, "we're next"

I have had to do the Wiltshire to Yorkshire (and vice versa) run for work and personal reasons umpteen times over the years. There are some great options, Steve, almost all of them not involving the M6. If you want some, just ask!
Up to two years ago I travelled fairly frequently between Dewsbury and Larkhill. Always went M1, M69, A46, M40, A34, A303

The Real Britannia by Colin Brown. "Our ten proudest years, the glory and the spin." So far we've had Magna Carta, the Spanish Armada, the Glorious Revolution and Waterloo myths all debunked. Quite good if you're an iconoclast.

Jools Holland and Dr John to a direct lift from Pete Johnson and Albert Ammons. Exciting stuff

Louis's version of St James Infirmary is brilliant, but this is pretty good. Tom Jones has a great blues voice. Wasted at his peak in Vegas

Louis was great. The whole of jazz, blues r&b music owes him a huge debt. His cornet riff in Dippermouth Blues is the basis for much of what followed.

Always been a Chuck Berry fan, but this version's better than his

Meanwhile BBC4 offered a double helping of the Two Ronnies. Nuff said. But followed it with the history of Fairytale in New York. With Kirsty. very interesting. Shane McGowan was his usual obnoxious self, but Kirsty was wonderful as usual.

I think they're probably the best value Irish whiskeys at the moment. Bushmills 10 is my go to pub whiskey if I'm not trying something new.
Blackbush has the advantage of being drinkable as a whiskey and also cheap enough that you don't mind others taking some to drown it in coke.
shame to do that to Blackbush. First time I had it was in Westport. Recommended as Guiness with Bushmills chaser, fatal!

Sicking to Blackbush and Bushmills 10 year old single malt. Much prefer Bushmills to any scotch.

RIP Kirsty.
I hadn't even realised Bragg had recorded an original version.
We went to a birthday party for her in Soho Square about 10 years ago. It was very moving.
