Along the same line of players signalling, am I correct in thinking that there is a signal from a player if there is an incident of a slur? I have in my mind the reporting player makes a cross with their arms in front of their stomach. Is this correct?

Firstly, I enjoyed that match, a tough slog. Secondly, it was refreshing for the ref mic to be low. I noticed something that is not intended as trolling or rage baiting but was interesting to me and might be worth mentioning: 2016 - Hull FC first Challenge Cup final win at Wembley, beating Warrington. 2018 - Catalans Dragons first Challenge Cup final win, beating Warrington. 2025- Hull KR first Challenge Cup final win in 45 years, beating Warrington.

Keighley were robbed. Odsal is iconic.

When I was having a nosey the website said the bear and elk meat in particular is from wild animals. Don't get me started on bear "farms", disgusting cruelty for their bile. https://mobil.jerky-house.com/UK/cans

Oh I'd be very interested in trying the bear meat, well I'd have doubts over the ethics beyond the website, a bit like whale meat, tempted as a food but not endorsing killing wildlife. Anyway, when I started this thread 15 years ago now it was always with the caveat of a budget, although with inflation what that budget would buy now is unthinkable.

This was one reason I stopped walking my dog on the Spen Valley Greenway years ago, constantly having to look behind me.

Very nearly every time I will reverse into a car parking bay. I once heard a "fact", that does make sense, that more accidents are caused by reversing out of a space in a supermarket, for example, as inattentive or preoccupied people don't see the car reversing as they walk behind, likewise the driver isn't checking the way clearly.

£20 for a tin of bear meat?! Sheesh. I hope it's not just lips and bum holes. https://mobil.jerky-house.com/UK/cans £32 on Amazon.

He's a ####.

Ireland's Eurovision entry called Laika Party by Emmy, who is Norwegian, is a great late 90s early 2000s dance bop but the lyrics are about Laika the dog who was sent to space and it's so sad!

Ey up. Flying visit.

This is why he has no energy left.

I have just tried some chocolate from M&S Collection, 100% cocoa (Peru). Really intense. I am used to having 2 chocolates from Asda Extra Special, 73% cocoa (Madagascar) and 85% cocoa (Uganda).

Still early days but so far: Still no booze (I had some Christmas pudding yesterday which could have contained hidden alcohol but I didn't have the ingredients at hand), still no fizzy drinks (some fizzy spring water but nothing flavoured), still no takeaways and still no fast food (McDonald's, Gregg's, etc.) I can't really tell if I feel better, early days and marginal gains, but I know I'm eating better and doing better.
