I see dogs are off the menu in Korea. Rather sad, really.

You might need a special Culinary thread if this goes on.
Burns night coming up, we often used to go to Weatherspoon's for our annual Haggis, once a year is quite enough.

£37 to watch a T20.... of max 40 overs.
How much to watch 90 overs of a 4 day game again? About £20?
I guess its all about supply and demand factors isn't it. They think they can sell out the Roses T20 match at this price.
Well what happens if we move from Headingley (capacity of around 18,350) to Scarborough (9,000). Do we have to charge double the price, so £74 to get the same revenue - just pointing out some simple maths for those who think its not a problem for us to sell up at Headingley and move to York and Scarborough

It is a very high price for the Roses game . The T20 isn't my favourite format but as I've paid via my senior-all-singing membership and live within a few miles of Headingley, I'll still attend all the games I can . If it doesn't sell out it will be very full for lanky , seats have to be reserved for this game only. Obviosly if I don't attend games or if they're raine doff I get nowt back .But £37 is a lot for so little cricket
If we are playing at Scarborough after they've got floodlights there won't be membership anymore and first come first served

floodlights at Scarborough.... not sure all the local residents are going to approve that, even if it impacts on their vacancies!

2 x Double headers on the Sundays with the Northern Diamonds on first when we play Derbyshire and Leicestershire.
It's the way of the world I suppose, top class football has been pricing games differently, depending on the supposed attractiveness of the opposition for years.

Some people who are entitled to their views think scrapping Headingley as part of the none re-financing, not voting for Graves and just play at York and Scarborough. Won't happen |

We don't all run B&B's.
Mind you, when I was first posted to the 'Wireless station' here, we worked shifts to cover 24/7. The morning shift used to start at 0700, earlier than any of the other stations. Allegedly this was voted in during the 50's so the blokes on the night shift could get back to their guesthouses and do the breakfasts.
This still applied to a few people as late as 1990 when I came here.

YCCC have today announced the death of Arthur (Rocker) Robinson who died on February 11th aged 77
I remember him as one of the hardest working bowlers who always seemed to give his best . He would have easily found a place in today's Yorkshire team
RIP

He would have easily found a place in today's Yorkshire team RIP I played against Rocker in around 1994 - I am amazed that he would only have been 47, my age now, because my memory had him much older. It was a charity game at a village club, and I was mesmerised by the control on display and the amount of action he got on the ball - coming off the back of a league ton the previous Saturday, I was really struggling to get a bat on him. Seemed like a very decent bloke off the field too. RIP. |

Confirmed (in todays Mail) that Graves/YCCC have settled out of court with Wayne Morton regarding his High Court Action against Lord Patel and YCCC for breach of contract and with all (salacious ) claims against Wayne Morton being dismissed. Let that be the end of the financial claims for wrongful dismissal and breach of contract ( but this doesn't compensate for cancelled professional standings , health , families etc etc)

Good place to start and I hope it didn't cost too much money. If there's anybody left at the club who had a hand in making the case against Morton I hope they have already been shown the door. Similarly any paid advisors or legal representatives who helped LP with his dirty tricks.

"Only Catholics think fish is a vegetable. And the chips are fried in...what?"
Just been reading a few back pages and came across this from DM.
My dear old Mum, veteran of many years working in Tate's Hygenic Fisheries, Rotherham and Goole knew what to use.
The best frying medium is beef dripping.
Not the filtered, and clarified white lard rubbish that appears in plastic packs in some supermarkets but the thick, brown, gelatin and meat juice flavoured snack of my childhood and youth. If you have never tasted it and ever get the chance, nice thick slice of toast slathered in best beef dripping beats the lot.
It is not very veggie I am sorry to say but them smell of Mum's fish and chips in my memory. still makes me salivate.
Newton's chip oyl in Doncaster was the last chippy where I can remember getting beef dripping fried food.
When I moved down south to convert the Hampshire heathen the frying medium was palm oil .. not the same.
Those were the days, tastes and smells!
