    I'm not surprised you've enjoyed the season, your lot have done very well. And having a local team in the play offs means I can really get behind a team in the race for the SL title for a change.

    Looking forward to it.

    Whilst I agree it maintains some interest in the season I can't say it's much to get excited about if last night was an indicator of the quality we can expect.

    …and people accuse me of living in the past. You might well surpass that next week though, thanks for the reminder 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    I’m just enjoying the season, and what a season it’s been, as we’re supposed to! With luck you can enjoy next season a little better, after your very extended break. 

    Fair point, I really enjoyed the Challenge Cup final.

    Sam Smiths is an acquired taste, though I quite like it. Unlike John Smith's which is, for me, a  never-acquired taste.

    I had a girlfriend who used to there every week, saying it was authentic Bradford. I thought it looked like many of the regulars may not have had a wash before coming out.

    Mind you, she lived in Saltaire Village ... two bedroom terraces with a tiny yard and fronting onto the street now cost well over £200,000. { For jealous Southerers, a "typical" price for a two bedroom stone terrace elsewhere in a decent part of Bradford itself would be about £130,000 to £150,000]

    The only time I ever go in the Shoulder of Mutton these days is:

    • on Armistice Day, when we have a fantastic Parade in the City Centre. The pub is always full of veterans, including a few that I know. *
    • On a hot Summers day ... it has a hidden, and great, beer garden surrounded by tall buildings.

    I have heard that it is not as cheap as it was. I'm guessing that the cheap beer is electric.

    * One thing I've previously thought about for struggling pubs is targeting ex-military clients. I know quite a few people who left school and joined up. Plenty of photos, flags and badges and flags can be bought at local auctions and flea markets.

    Sam Smiths do some superb bottled beers but I've always found their cask Old Brewery Bitter to be too hit and miss. So much so that I don't risk it anymore.

    John Smiths cask used to be really good but I'm going back many years. The keg and canned stuff you get now I find revolting and bears very little resemblance to it.

  4. First three places in the Vuelta GC all occupied by Jumbo-Visma but the internal team dynamic is getting very interesting and probably just a little bit tense. For all the talk of riding for Sepp Kuss, Vingegaard and Roglic didn't hesitate to drop him on the final climb on the Angliru. He's far too nice a bloke and too much of a team player to criticise his teammates but he must have been thinking they'd shafted him.
