No, it was definitely Sean Long.

But then I would have said [ifor[/i his twin. Can standards of grammar and comprehension really have plummeted to such depths out in Ilkley, pater?

It's a tribute to your upbringing lad that you've picked me up on this one. Your schooling at Ermysteds might have been expensive but it was worth every penny.

If you paid to get into a selective school I would check your receipt and find the sod who ripped you off.

I didn't pay a penny. Mummy & Daddy did it through a trust fund.

Ah yes, of course, Ilkley tax credits..

My great, great, great, great Grandpapa worked jolly hard for his millions, or those in his mill did. It's only right I can avoid tax on my inheritance. Why should I pay for pinko, lesbian refuges when I don't have a need for them?

If you could make that a bit more 'folksy', dare I say Palinesque, (no, not him from Monty Python - the other Palin) and throw in a few gun quotes you'd be a shoo-in for the Republican nomination in the good ol' US of A next year (or is it this year, foreign news was never my strong point) if you were to win (should be easy, only that foreign, commie terrorist, Obama to beat) you could put all the backhanders into a fund and buy the Bulls, which is a guaranteed tax loss to set against your inheritance.

Though, as owner of the Bulls you might get more earache than your great, great, great, great grandfather did from the lazy mill workers he drove into penury..

Edited for accuracy. 17% of American voters think so.

Which leaves the question, who is the biggest threat to the American way - Barack Obama or James Child?

hopefully not Mr Child down here in Perpignan this evening but maybe Mr Thaler again after last nights' debacle !

I was about half hour into the game before I thought 'I wonder who the ref is', which probably sums up our approach to viewing. I then fell asleep & London had 50 points on the clock when I woke up, which led me to think I was still dreaming. No doubt Thaler had a nightmare during that period.

nah, just normal for him nowadays it seems !

the Sheffield v Fev game was well reffed for me as a neutral - Mr Hewer kept up well with play and made decisions without referring to the VR every two minutes for confirmation or clarification - he took the responsability even after some tight decisions but got them all right as far as i'm concerned - i'm sure other posters will disagree, such is life !

Sorry. I thought terrorist covered that...well, in the fevered right wing American mind, anyway..

BTW I would have to say that James Child's Twitter feed is just weird
