I see good old fashioned 'tolerance' is still thriving in West Yorkshire . Give me strength...

I don't know his first name - hence it was a little bit of sillyness that crept in. I apologise for how tight your bum is on that one.

I can tolerate him, until he opens his trap. That's the same with any ignorant rich man - regardless of their first name

Hope this clears up any confusion - I have my own opinions of "that" nature but know when and when not to air them.

My point still stands, the RFL are terrified the'll put him off

Did you do that on purpose, you little mischief!!

I don't think it would have taken you very long to find out what Dr Koukash's first name is, as he has been in the rugby press quite a lot recently. Still, a lot easier to just call him some random name, eh?

Interesting choices though considering his Palistinian origins. Who would have though of all the names in the world you'd have guessed it may be 'Saddam' or 'Abu'...?

Careful you don't get dizzy up there on your high horse. By creating a stink over an insensitive remark you're making it something worse than it should be.

Yes, you're right, I'm 'making it worse than it should be'. My fault entirely. On my 'high horse' again. 'Tight bum' about these sorts of things. I'll leave you all to carry on. As you were.

I actually threw an "alan" in there as well! you neglected that one!

At the time of typing I couldn't be bothered googling "Dr Koukash first name"

Appreciated it was in poor taste - I think you'll hear a lot worse than that in day to day life though to be fair.

If not then that cotton wool needs to come off.

Incidentally, have you ever watched "goodness gracioous me"?

There's an asian family on there trying to integrate into British culture. I forget the entire script, but the main guy's name is "dinesh kumar" but calls himself "dennis cooper". It's brilliantly done!

think it might lighten your attitude somewhat (or loosen your bum, if I may allude to a previous metaphor)

...also, Abu was the name of the little critter monkey from Alladin - which if anything suggests Dr Koukash's mischievous and tinkersome side - linking nicely to the little newspaper articles he has been.

Were you suggesting I meant a certain Islamic extremist!?!?!?!?!?!

You racist man! How dare you!

OK, I'll save you the trouble. It's Marwan. Dr Marwan Koukash.

As in "Hello, is that Castleford Tigers? I'd like to buy your star player Rangi Chase. My name? Yes it's Dr Marwan Koukash..."

Why didn't you just write Koukash?

haha, I think my work here is done.

Anybody got any watches that need winding up as well?

By the way, I love the "we are a big club now" attitude.
