    She's a tough bugger, I'd be screaming and rolling round like a Brazilian striker who'd been given a harsh look - she clips it back so quick that a couple of times I wasn't sure she'd dislocated it!

    Don’t paint yourself as a rebel outsider by simply saying that things we all know to be facts (Elvis being alive, lizards running the world etc) are indeed facts...

    pfft

    It's the definition of "the pits", aka The "San Andreas Fault" theory. Some erudite scientist (Sandy Andreas - a Scot), in a fit of pique, after one of his theories was debunked, came up with the idea.

    Blimey, John McEnroe was deep with his umpire insults.

    That may be.
    After being clobbered a number of times in a game, and the perpetrators going unpunished, George Best asked the ref:

    "Ref, can I be booked for what I'm thinking ?"
    Ref: "Of course not George, as you well know."
    George: "I think you're a c**t".

    Martin Bayfield tells a good story about his fellow second row giant Wade Dooley that occurred in their game against France in Paris.

    Seems one of the French succeeded where plenty of others have tried and failed, and knocked Dooley out. During the ensuing melee, Dooley shook his head, stood up, looked at the referee and pointed at the offending Frenchman and boomed out a phrase heard all round the stadium, "referee, do NOT send that ****er off".

    EDIT, Bayfield tells it better. It should start at the right point, but it's from 2:20.

    " Pass the salt, Gunga Din". Which famous Yorkshire sportsman (sic) said this ?
    Allegedly, vehemently denied naturally. :emoticon-0100-smile

    You could be right, but it seems like an odd thing for Nicola to say to Brian.

    Baffled. A female boxer from Leeds - prominent 45 years after I left Leeds does not resonate. Nor connect.
    Too deep for me. But you gleaned a "like". Well done.

    A discussion on the differences in humour between us and our cousins across the pond has just come to mind. Frank Skinner was recalling a show he was giving in Canada, that wasn't going as well as he'd have liked, and he started to tell the audience about his early career.

    He told them he used to be a children's entertainer. He said that he used a different name at that time to match the role, calling himself bdum bdum the clown. He said he got the inspiration for the name from the noise children make. The audience looked at him blankly, and even more so when he said 'hmm, you've obviously never run one over'.

    Had a couple of beers with Martin Bayfield once
    Friendly bloke with some great stories
    I know this is staying the obvious...but he’s ****ing huge!
    On TV I always thought he was tall, which he is, but I assumed fairly skinny. He’s not. He’s just massive.

    It was that well known Yorkshireman Freddie Trueman, as you say he denied it.
