Top 5 Musicians Of All Time
Wolford6 replied to FileyBulldog's topic in Any Other Business / Any Other Sports
Top 5 Guitars: Stephen Stills & Billy Duffy ... Gretsch G6136 & Gretsch Falcon (similar) Johnny Winter ... Gibson Firebird Lemmy ... Rickenbacker 4000 bass Wilko Johnson ... Fender Stratocaster Paul Kossoff ... Gibson Les Paul (probably fourth-hand; certainly battered) -
I always really liked him on the telly. Great manager. Loved by players and got results. (Welsh Mother) Not particularly loved by HM Government. (Brought up in Essex)

She was from Pontypool and stunningly good looking. Just like the rest of us who come from there. -
The Ground Improvement Plan to end all others
Wolford6 replied to marklaspalmas's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
It's been replaced by the Odsal Superdrome and it's already built. However, you're right; it's nothing like the proposed new Catalans' stadium. That looks okay, if you like that sort of thing. -
After he broke his leg, I don't think he ever attained what he promised in his youth. He was outstanding in his first loan spell at Odsal. I wish him all the best in finding a new club.

From Popbitch: Old hi-NRG legend DJ Ian Levine is a Dr Who superfan who now spends his time on Twitter feuding with other fans

Myles Lawford is a really promising halfback or fullback. Kicks goals for fun. The club keeps signing props when we've got a really promising one in Marcus Green. Both have been rarely used this season ... following a long history of wasting the talent in our Academy and allowing other clubs to snap up the bargains.

I can't be bothered scrolling through 19 pages on the topic, so this might already been raised. Tyler Dupree was quoted on the telly as the grandson of an American blues singer. That will have been Champion Jack Dupree who met and married a woman from Halifax. I saw him in Bradford in the 1970's on a bill of American blues artists and seem to remember him as being fairly small; unlike Tyler. Apologies if this now old hat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champion_Jack_Dupree

Two vastly-different BBC Shows. 1. The Detectives: Taking Down an Organised Crime Group(BBC & i-player) A very gritty and scary documentary about tackling and prosecuting a drug and violence-dealing Muslim Gang in Rochdale. Chilling and very recognisable for anyone who lives across the Rust Belt. The dedication of the police in the face of zero support from the Crown Prosection Service is really impressive as is the courage of the witnesses. 2. Wales' Home of the Year(i-player) A bit of light relief after watching The Detectives. Each week, Three homes are selected from an area of Wales and the winner goes forward to the next round. The judges are Owain Wyn Evans, Mandy Watkins - an interior designer and Glen Thomas - an architect. This week's houses were supposed to be in South East Wales. In fact, they never got within 15 miles of the valleys (they must have something against Council Houses! I can't understand it ). Two of the three were owned by gay people at different ends of the property market. Everything in those were to Owain Wyn Evans' taste and style; cranking up his gaydar and making Rylan Clark seem like John Wayne. Owain isn't to everyone's taste but he sends himself up and he's a Telly Natural. If you're male and watch this programme with your partner, don't bank on getting the remote back until it's finished.

He was great for us; the real deal. Been back several times with different oponents; never looked anything like the real deal.

The refs will love him.

He's a former miner who smoked and survived a pulmonary embolism at 86. Daily Telegraph article: ... at Pontins a few decades earlier for an exhibition. “He slowly rolled the white ball towards one pocket and potted all six colours into the same one before it reached,” she says. “We still talk about it today. It was incredible.”

In the Sweeney, there was alwaysa pile of empty 45-gallon drums or cardboard boxes for the slags' car to crash into when being chased down by Jack Regan's Ford Granada after a blag at a warehouse.

I like the Bulls logo but far preferred the Northern shirts with the big City-Crest badge. There's nowhere near enough hometown pride in modern rugby league.

Very good player. Can play second row and prop.
