(real ale craft bars no flat pints in these like down sarf ha)

You mean you leave the sparkler on.
What sort of heathens are you lot up there?

 

[Shayman]

No we leave the sprinkler on we don’t have sparklers till November 5th ha,and we know a good pint when we see one, Si’thi lad .

 

[Shayman]

We have plenty of decent craft beer places in Southend.

Can you recommend anything a bit more authentically 'Rita Sue and Bob Too' for those going up North for the first time?

Great film, filmed just up the roan in sunny bradfud = dump.

 

[Shayman]

Nice little article. One of my favourites when I was a lad, a ferocious tackler.

Considering it is his sole decision I'd suggest he is not trying very hard

PB doing a lot of insisting these days

Just made it up here - a couple of days touring the Peak District beckons before the match.

Ex Shrimper/Shaymen Dave and Bob Worthington, Alan Little and Kevin Johnson will all be at the game.

Phil Brown knows both Dave and Alan, and like them is also a former Halifax player

Right, now to clean up in the pub quiz in Old Glossop this eve - just banking on a Southend United round to play the joker on

If you like quizzes you will love the Pub Paper which you can pick up free at pretty much any pub in Halifax and surrounding area, has a 50-question and a 30-question quiz in, as well as other beer/pub related stuff. Perfect for a long coach/train journey home, or to take your mind off the football when we go 3-0 down…

Piece Hall definitely worth a visit and only 10 mins walk from the Shay…but closes at 1 this Saturday to get the place ready for the Kaiser Chiefs in the evening. That’s following the Manics tomorrow night and New Order yesterday - real life is back with a bang ?

Its easy done Phil just put Ralph to LWB and switch Bridge to the right side, .

 

[Evening Echo]

I like to think the interview went something like this:

Judging by the situation with the 5th test, I'd say temper that optimism a bit!
