    Terrified of horses

    Moths are the ****s that aim to ruin what little summer we have, once on holiday in scotland in the country, a huge mother ****ing fluff ball ass moth was flying around in the hall, it was taunting me, almost daring me to try to get past like a troll under the bridge, I had to sit in the living room for hours with a towel blocking the gap under the door incase the ****er tried to sneak in, absolutely horrific things they are


    I'd fancy my chances against a wolf anyday

    I like wolves, but apparently they don't make good pets, so I got one of these instead...

    If it makes you feel better, it died, so I haven't got one now either.

    Bred 2 generations with a dog they make great pets. And guard dogs. And weapons.

    Not sure if you need a dangerous animal licence though, I know you do at 50/50 bred.

    Aye. Actually, this might make you laugh. Youngest was born there. I goes to register the birth in Oakham, and had the following conversation with the bint registrar:

    Bint: Fathers place of birth?
    Me: Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire
    Bint: You mean Humberside?
    Me: No
    Bint: Look sorry but this has to be accurate, and if your daughter needed to find out in the future the place of birth of her father, it needs to be right
    Me: Listen love, my daughter will be under NO illusions about where I was born, it was the East Riding when I was born there, and it is the East Riding now in fact
    Bint: I'm pretty certain it isn't
    Me: Ok. Listen. (Im REALLY narky at this point). Where are we now?
    Bint: Rutland
    Me: Not Leicestershire? Really? When did that change? OH ABOUT THE SAME TIME AS THE OTHER CHANGES MAYBE?? I AM NOT FROM HUMBERSIDE FFS!
    Bint: Er...no. Oh if you're going to be like that, I'll just put East Riding

    Grrrr. Apart from that, top 4 year posting.

    Will spectators be allowed to bring their alcoholic drinks to their seats ?
    Or is that honour just reserved for rugby league fans ?
    Serious question.

    I expect you'll be able to drink while watching.

    I also understand it's going to be free admission.

    It is the other way round. It is something denied to football fans and not others. However, in fairness, not being allowed to take alcohol to your seats to your seat is a nationwide thing and not one imposed by anyone connected to the KC. However, carrying containers of hot drinks which, if dropped, would land on someone's head is deemed safe.

    I understand the by-laws behind this but isn't it about time someone challenged it ? Especially at the KC were fans of a different sport but from the same city are treated differently ? Is it a case of discrimination ?
    Because I would like to see the local media take this up (no chance) and compare the two sports. For example I do not recall any 'flares' being let off by home fans at the KC during football matches, unlike rugby league where no-one ever gets arrested and the HDM do there best not to highlight it, likewise bottles thrown onto the pitch during play, common at RL, but I do not recall it ever happening at a City game. RL fans allowed alcohol in their seats, football are not. So I ask why ?

    When has a flare ever been let off by a home fan at FC? Rovers fans have a couple of times but never home fans.

    Because it's the law, same reason there is no standing in the top flight and away fans have to be segregated (neither of which occur in RL). The point is that this is nothing to do with using the same ground, local media bias, RL fans 'getting away with it' ...etc, its a national occurrence.

    Why don't you have an issue with cricket, rugby union, basketball, tennis, darts or ice hockey? Fans are allowed to drink in their seats at all of those as well.

    As for the RL 'trouble' you've highlighted there, the only flares that have been let off at Hull FC games have been in the away end (as with Hull City games) and the bottle incident was 4 years ago and resulted in alcohol being banned from seats for the following season, its not a 'regular' occurrence as you say.

    For what its worth I would ban alcohol from seats at RL games too, its annoying when people spill beer or go for a piss/another pint during the game, not to mention the cretinous opinions you overhear from the pissed up dick that thinks he could do a better job in halves. Its 45 minutes (40 for RL) who needs a drink that badly they can't wait?

    Not too fussed about beer being banned from the seats, there's enough clumsy ****ers as it is with soft drinks, I've been soaked a few times by the dozy bastards jumping about with open bottles in their hands. Alcohol would just make them even more clumsy.

    It's sort of a point about hot drinks, accidents always happen, but someone with a scalding hot drink isn't likely to go bouncing about with it in their hand unless they're a heat resistant lunatic.

    Smoke bombs are just ****ing annoying.

    The way I've read it was it was FC fans letting flares off - I can't remember that ever happening.

    The law says football fans can't drink in the ground - not the KC, though for a long time you couldn't for rugby at the KC either.
