Bradford itself isn't Ayers, but I can assure you that Ilkley is one of the most sought after. Travel just a few miles outside of Bradford and it is very exclusive.

I met a girl from Bradford at the weekend. Quite a good lass, but a bit of a minger - (not bragging, an addendum to earlier posts).

The Queen shook my hand in 1983 and thanked me for my service to OUR country whilst attaching a medal to my jacket. Enough said.
Apart from that, once got Perrie Mans autograph at Pot Black in 1977? and bumped into Lawrence Llewellyn Bowen in Cavendish House (House of Frasier)in Cheltenham about 6 years ago. We were both looking at TVs. I went for the 36" Panasonic. Needless to say he went for the 60" Sony! Still rate my chat with HM our Queen the highlight though! |

Not a clue Kenny. We went to the same university at about the same time, and knew some of the same people, so we spent no time talking about where we were originally from.

In keeping with Joel's theme, I've put one more past Gordon Banks than Pele did.

It was either 1990 or 1991 (I played from 1987 to 1996) in our own team competition, I won my first 12 single matches in the East London Darts League, and if my last dart hadn't hit the wire on double 8 and ended up on the floor, it would have have been 13. My team mate Brian was unlucky, we were both on 12 wins, but he had to play after me, and he also lost.

Can you put the link on, please, Kenny? I want to see it, it sounds lovely! We could start chit-chat's very own Escape to the Country  |

You'll agree that Ilkley is nicer than Kensington when you see the photo.

Think of all the songbirds you'd save if you paid someone that money to drown all the cats they could find.

no songbirds round here, just pigeons.

Kind of proves his point.

Looks nice but is there a dog track and a casino nearby?

By:
Thanks, Kenny. It looks lovely.
Not wanting to appear ungrateful I was hoping for a link to the estate agent so I could have a look inside  |

It is grim, and overpriced, check back on nethousprices in a couple of years and it'll have gone for 650-700k imo.

I see they have a mini Narnia lamp post in the garden
Going inside for a look. Will report back. |

The kitchen is lovely, the bathroom's quite nice.
The rest just needs updating cosmetically. The sitting room carpet and curtains would be the first things to go  It looks to be in a fantastic location. I think that must be a very expensive part of the world to live. |

Took 4 wickets for 6 runs one season.
Sounds impressive as an average, but I was only wheeled out for the tail enders of the really bad teams. Used to get it to turn quite well, but with the pace of a sloth. We stuck a guy who was really fast but wildly inaccurate at the other end. With our combined efforts it was usually just a matter of plugging away until we actually hit the wicket. Seemed to work, but would have been smacked out of the ground by anyone who could actually bat. |

I've just had my first season bowling spin instead of seam, hm. Should have done it years ago. In my younger days I could turn it miles, without being able to say within a square kilometer where it was gonna land. Now I know where it's going, the old fingers ain't so supple, so not as much spin, but generally much more enjoyable, much less tiring and less damaging to the left knee. I'm a bit sick the season has ended.

I never really fell in love with cricket like I did many sports, I just got thoroughly bored with fielding. Bowling fine, batting fine, but standing in the middle of a field doing fa bored me to tears. Pretty rubbish at actually throwing too, which didn't help.
|
|
By:
Fielding sucks, that's a fact.
Still my favourite team sport though, perhaps because it is really just a succession of individual battles in a team setting. All the sports I'm actually good at are all individual sports. |

I guess it's time to ressurect this thread, as yesterday I got another Hole-in-One. The same hole as last time, the 12th on my course. A nice steady wedge with a little draw, pin just tucked behind the bunker on right, one bounce and in. Okay it's stroke index 18 and only 122 yards but still made me happy though as it was the Sunday Morning Fiddle, I had to purchase a bottle of whiskey from the Bar.

I achieved the maximum score on an original pacman machine in the early eighties. I believe that I might have been the first person to make it, even though Wikipedia has it down to some American chap called Billy Mitchell.
