Are they still darn pit wondering when the next shift change is, 'Wee'us next shift John? uewor maud mus be pig sick, bin darn ere berrt 10 yeer narr'

Staines are like the wasp sting, Wire the bluebottle which keeps buzzing around.
Do not want a wasp sting the bluebottle just bat it away with a rolled up Oldham Chron, if you get my drift.

Yes. Without a shadow of a doubt. I dislike saints, I hate warrington. Wigan v saints has become like a friendly rivalry over the last few seasons. The warrington game has an edge to it, it is a genuine dislike of eachother.

Not really. Not heard rugby league clubs compared to diptera before. Bit low-brow, don't you think?

As a Wire fan for 40 years, Widnes will always be our main rivals.

Rivalry appears to be based on geographic proximity.

Who ever said rugby league was parochial?

wigan fans don't like to admit it, but it kills them that a little old club like Warrington, can 'give them a game' nowadays

Though I'm sure that their arrogance will stop them from overly admitting it.

Haven't all opposing fans formed a special dislike of Warrington since the move to HJ?

When Saints played Leeds in the elimination playoff I wanted Saints to win. That's partly because they were the underdogs (I think many people root for the underdogs), and partly because someone had to stop Leeds winning another GF.

I feel genuinely sorry for you. mind you I love the way you write Wigan in capitals, but can't do the same with Saints and Warrington. Does it make you, as a Wigan fan, superior to us mere mortals?

Wasps are Hymenoptera (along with bees and ants), meaning 'joined wings' as they have a set of small hooks on the hind edge of the forewings that joins them to the hind wing.

Flies are Diptera, meaning two wings as they only have one pair of true wings. The hind wings having become vestigial bodies called haltiers that aid balance and turning in flight.

I would also say that Rochdale warrior's analogy works fairly well IMO.
