Let's get the easier bit out of the way whilst we await unfoldings at Bladdersveldt.

Rochdale could have rendered this post unnecessary by pulling off an unlikely home win agin York. They made a bl00dy good fist of it before capitulating 18-24.

A further reminder of your punts:

Pubbers 16-28
Evvers 8-34
Chayders 10-28
The Don 8-24
Tommers 12-24
Chazzer 18-24
Vanners 14-28
Zools 10-24
Bonkers 10-26

All predicted that East Pennine victory but it's that black/red nosed villain who extends his lead at the Big Top of the main WPL. "Charlie hurt we."

Five apiece to the others.

Someone once defined repartee "as what you wish you'd said", Bongser, as well as editing the scores, will adjust a couple of detective's names in the below copy and paste from last week's scores.

STANDINGS:

Charley Farley (Ronnie Corbett) 1,002 Jjj
Piggy Malone (Ronnie Barker) 881 jj
Donners 816 JJJjj (Still Three Dragons)
Pubbers 801 Jjj (Ashes Ruling)
EVVO 801 JJjj (high scoring scheme and yet ties three weeks on the trot!)
Zools 739 JJjj
Vanners 733 Jjj
Chayders 610 Jjj
Tommers 564 Jjj

As it stands, fortunes are somewhat different in The Cup Challenge!!

On the subject of the challenge cup, was a certain James Green giving a decent impression of being a tough, rough rugby league forward the same big useless wet lettuce called James Green that played in a few games for Leigh in our super league season or has he just got the same name?

"Useless wet lettuce"
I've heard that for a long time. I once said it to my daughter as she stood looking at me one day after I had asked her to do something. I remember being quite stern about it, and then confused as she collapses into a heap of laughter and tears. No, she was not born in Leythe (or the Uk) and yes she does still look at me sometimes and just shakes her head at the things I say.

CL, good evening. Are we to assume that your question was rhetorical?

Vanners, you miss home so come home and give your daughter a proper education!

Long time since Bongser heard it as well, both of you. Last memory was of HRM ER II (Gor Bless 'er imperial purple bunions) doing the grand jubilee tour in '77. We waited for about two hours, in full cub scout uniform whilst touting our crappy plastic Union Flags, on lower Chaddock Lane in Boothstown until she passed with almost unseemly haste whilst hardly waving her left hand. The other side of the road presumably only got, and from a greater distance, the less-than-godlike Greek.

Ian McArthur, IBRC, said, "Seen more action in a wet "lerris"!

Ready for some puntabules?

Okey-Dokey. Time for Billy Smart Acre’s Big Top day out.

Don’t know how folks are planning to get to Blackpudlia, but the last time Bongser went by train he had to go via Manchester. Some of the senior posters on this forum might recall a direct service from hereabouts to the Fylde coast, and some may know a folk song about the Saturday nights out in Blackpool facilitated by the choo-choo.

For those that do not, here is Bongser’s best stab at the chorusSATURDAY

Hairnets XX-YY Swine

I am well thank you, trust that you are too. The Dons have played in France before (against Toulouse) but not to my knowledge in Perpignan. I didn't make the trip myself and have in fact just returned from a break in Anglesey.
