Oxford

It's not just the NHS either my wife and I worked at the same place and so got made redundant together and the rigmarole was incredible, It was like we were the authors of our own fate.

Sadly

One for Salford fans .....

This and wasn't sure if it sure be on here or the EU or the General election thread

Feeling more like a Treiziste than Leaguie today so......along with a few more Variety Francaise

Roast chicken in smoked paprika and a few tunes like ... A very different mood when you put the stuff together.

Nothing too wrong with a bit of Jake, Robin. Does that make you Shere Khan?

"If You Leave Me I'll Go Crazy" - James Brown "Coming Home" - Leon Bridges "Good Morning Heartache" - Sam Cooke "Fast Train" - Solomon Burke "You and Me" - Penny and The Quarters "No I'm Seeing" - Michael Kiwanuka "I Just Don't Know What to do With Myself" - Chris Farlowe "Every Little Bit hurts" - The Spencer Davis Group "I Wonder" - Chris Isaak And ......

Thanks for the heads up I'll give that a go! I usually like to have two or three books on the go at once and at the moment they are : The Sirens of Titan - Kurt Vonnegut, Writing Home - Alan Bennett and My Name is Red - Orhan Pamuk

Swing- chuffin-' ometres!

I expect references to the dark side and giving it some good natured stick for not being the real thing but not whole swathes of discussion. It struck me how little of our history actually has anything to do with the dirty word.

I love RL's history and heritage but why is there a discussion about a yawn team here? And especially one that has shown itself capable of doing the dirty if they're settling out of court as appears to be the case. I don't want to debate yoonion or any other sport on here. I certainly don't like them interfering with our TGG legacy, culture, tradition, custom and inheritance. To use a movie metaphor or simile here, in historical importance terms they wouldn't merit a bit part or walk on role in our history they're more of the appearance of Quentin Jerome Tarantino's thumb for film nerds. And what's more I don't give a monkeys about how hugely chippy this sounds, although you might not believe this I'm not having a go at ru just reminding people this is a TGG forum and who cares where some outpost kfc plays or doesn't play?

Which RL club is the oldest one?

Christmas day where, Futtocks? Great picture made it part of my gallery!

Very interesting and thank you for your explanation of both these issues. Do you think the willy wavers join in on purpose to make that happen? Of course the history of the game is cross code that's why I was concerned it might disappear. Maybe TGG should have two birthdays like the Queen?

Now padge I have to ask, after following the link, are you trying to get this thread moved to CCF? I know it's our history, I know Hadfield's a league journalist, I know it's a league thread,question post, but that doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't have the criteria for being walked! Like Johnny Cash you "Walk the Line"

Castleford Halfacre made me think of how imperial measures might have formed our nicknames from the start. Bushels, Pecks and Chains come to mind. Sounds like a good game to me, anyone any ideas?

I don't know but what a great name and what a pity it's not still with us!

No that was Open Rugby and is very much missed!

"I do not "want it to end badly" where on earth do you get that rubbish from?" I am glad about that! Did you not say it will not end well at least once? "I am not the one going round insulting Marwan Koucash" - Again the misspelling I asked you about ! I don't think I accused you personally of attacking the good doctor and if I did that was completely unintentional and not the aim of what I wrote! I do find much criticism of SRD and MK to be questionable and I find it hard to understand what motivates people in this direction??

Parksider Again not meant as an attack on you just the general trend of pessimism that seems to linger around our sport generally.Good that you're looking forward to the season though! I don't have a clue how the Red Devils will go this year but I am intrigued by the response overall to their change of fortune and the reactions to the good Doctor. There are people who have said so many similar things on this very website yet insults are often the only outcome for him. I know you think it will all come crashing down but I get the feeling that you and you're not alone want it to end badly and that's what I can't fathom at all. I also reacted to your misspelling of his name was that deliberate?

I know the title of all this is "Never ending...." but judging by the latest comments and 225 pages and many thousands of points of view and replies don't you think it might just be time to call it a day and as far as the restructuring is concerned just "suck it and see"

Griff "This solution merely moves the dividing lines elsewhere. " I'm afraid that needs a bit more evidence to support it as a statement and there are a lot of statements like this being banded about. I just don't see everything in terms of who killed Kennedy? Who was on the grassy knoll? Who was the umbrella man? And why did LBJ jump to the floor before the shooting began? The RFL are not buffoons or villains even when they get it wrong! Marwan Koukash is not the saviour of the world but he does display some very interesting possibilities that have been missing for a long time in our sport! He also has not deserved the kind of reaction he has received at the hands of posters/fans and pundits. I don't want to spend all my time picking over little details in order to prove something or other that wasn't very interesting in the first place and secondly won't come anywhere near the truth because like Kennedy it's a riddle wrapped in an enigma shrouded in a mystery! And the new structure maybe turn out to be the answer! But the New Season's Here! 80 minutes TGG reaching the parts other sports can only dream of!
