Don't mind a good Indian, not sure about Iranian, but £15 sounds appetizing...
Well, just ready to step out (when Mrs G finishes getting ready ) and the rain has started so Newland is looking favourable.

I very much like the hats and plumage that Lisa Marie Presley's band are wearing.

Clearly, I would carry it off better, and indeed, I have moved into the realms of City Sport Donegal Tweed flat caps.

Ahead of the game.

You lucky gets, you get this shizzle for free.

No idea what the bird is talking about.
Thank the Lord we don't have to pay.

GR, how was you birthday evening? Did you make it further than Newland Ave?

Didn't stray to far from Newland (nothing new there ), weather dictated that but totally enjoyed the evening.

Started in Tofts, which is a good for me, then moved down to the Ruby lounge to decide where to go. The meals in there looked OK but the atmosphere wasn't the intimate one we where looking for. The heavens then opened so we decided to pop across to the Koo bar...what can i say...well i know the bin isn't the Hilton, but Koo bar won't be getting visited by me again. Unless i missed something in there, i wouldn't eat a bag of crisps in the place to be honest, maybe we caught it at a bad time, once a group left that where in a cubby hole, it left me and Mrs G, we moved into said cubby hole (with a beer pump in the middle of the table) and it just seemed shabby.

It was decided to give Antico Forno, the Italian, a try and as it turned out, a good choice, will be visiting again in the near future.

That's a shame about Koo, I'd heard it has some good stuff on during the week.
Not been to Antico Forno, heard its nice though.

Hull fair tomorrow, joy.

Not doing fair this year.
We are going to Blackpool on Monday.


What's the betting someone will buy me some brandy snap from fair when there is tons of the stuff in Blackpool.

I wish we didn't have to do it.
To be fair the boys are really good, my 5 year old doesn't really like rides & my 7 year old is happy as long as he gets a go in the Funhouse & on Hook a Duck. Mr Baldhead took our older one in the Ghost Train last year, not a good idea. He was having nightmares for weeks.
I just think its a rip off, the bow & arrows don't last more than a couple of days.

But what did your eldest boy think of it?

I see my old housemate from when i played out in France, Laurent Fraissinous, has been given the coaching job at Catalans.
Got some proper dirt on him that i may start dishing in the weeks leading up to our clashes next year.

At a beer festival.

Absolute comedy gold mine. Never seen so many hapless old blokes with beards and note books.

Highly reccomended.

Still at beer festival.

It's getting pretty lairy now. There will be many casualties.

Well, Clarkie nearly made it to 5 mins before mentioning Wigan...
