My pleasure, sorry to hear about your cat, ours isn't even allowed outside, we hope to get a Maine Coon and British Blue when we get a bigger place!



Just seeing how bad "friends" and family are with cats I can never understand why so many people are hostile to them

British shorthairs are renowned for being peaceful towards other animals for example. Most dogs on the other hand would kill all small to medium wildlife if they were quick and agile enough to catch it!

this is copper best friend smokie

Snowie you have a cat & dog?

yes and three guinea pigs two gold fish,
used to have a hamster and budgies in the past

im sure ive been there before but can not remember going home

I would imagine the majority of the people in the video will have been in the same boat.

That is quality - if we don't adopt that - we're mental!



I love this City - this is my town!

and not a wakey player in sight

Its by an Ossett lad who loves his city, as TRB says we will be mental not to adopt it!

Hes not a massive Trinity fan but does follow us and likes to see us do well.

Sky sports have already used it in the closing credits after the Man U / Man City derby a few weeks ago.
Its out on 31st May and is getting exposure already on Radio 1 so it looks like its going to be big!

The crowd goes mad, passionate and proud. I love my city.
Sums it up prefectly for me!

should be played when we play cas

Ossett is becoming Hollywood! It certainly looks that way from Horbury Bridge...

brilliant video of real life in the town, love the song be nice if there was enough to adopt this song so it could be heard





well done matt

The famous Ossett Hollywood sign - as featured on the Cribs album cover!

If Mike Skinner (a.k.a The Streeets) came from Wakey, this is what you get! Not usually the type of music I'd go for, but the lad's got talent.

There's a well known opening in the cliff face at Matty Marsden...



There's actually a few nice walks around the outskirts of Horbury and Ossett but only about 5 people in the area that appreciate them. I can remember walking along the canal from Horbury Bridge and some of my 'old' mates were throwing stones at some swans. T*ssers.

Make that 7 then, i often wander around this area with my better half.

Aye, that's where I walk my dog; the nicest route is from our place at the top of Storrs Hill, down the fields towards Healey Road then stopping off at the taproom of the Brewers Pride; he's only a pup like, so he needs a rest

might not be improving for the team, but it it has for my pooch he gets to keep his knackers,
after treatment he has improved enough to put off the old snip for the time being, had to laugh at his advances tonight to a young doberman



still got it in him for an old lad

There's a bit of wasteland down Addingford way, it's next to the railway lines and used to be a paint-balling location for a time. There was an urban myth surrounding the area involving an opening that leads underground. Rumour has it that some individuals went down there with hunting dogs on a night. I don't really know more about what went on but a few people I know said they knew a lad from Water Lane who went ratting. I've looked at the hole with a few mates years ago but I never dared venture into it.

I live in Indonesia and we had this story on the news last month. Unfortunately it wasn't even an isolated incident. The next couple of days saw follow up stories about other, similar kids.

It's difficult to judge from a purely western context.

Attitudes to child protection are quite different here and although the story intended to shock there were plenty who saw it as amusing and harmless, particularly the people local to the incidents. You see kids under 5 riding on the tanks of motorbikes with no helmet or restraint. There's not the child-centred culture we have in the west. Child mortality is still quite high and the attitude seems to be if you lose one you can always make another for free.

Attitudes to smoking are also quite different. It seems almost compulsory for men to smoke (maybe like it was in the 50's and 60's in the UK?). I don't smoke and it's seen as strange. Macho and sporty style adverts are still used on TV.
The tobacco companies are suffering from shrinking markets in the developed world so they're making as much as they can now from markets in developing countries.

Brands are now specifically targetting young women, which would have been unheard of and unacceptable even 10 years ago. My favourite was a billboard advert for green menthol cigarettes showing a young glamorous woman with the slogan, in English, "have you found your G spot?". I was going to take a photo but I think someone must have explained the meaning and the poster was quickly removed.

The daily cost in the story is clearly exaggerated as cigarettes only cost about 30p to 60p a pack for the better brands as they are produced here and are not heavily taxed, but then again people can earn less than 2 quid a day.

Whilst it is clearly very wrong, I would just say, blame the tobacco companies rather than judging/condeming the people.

Only in Cas!

I'm from Lupset so I'm not shocked by that - I just feel an urge to demand "2's up!"
