    Well worth have a few minutes of your time even if, like me, you cannot draw a straight line even with a ruler.

    I was invited to that, but sadly was already busy so couldn't go

    Mrs Tash managed to get tickets for the Lil Billoca play at Guildhall, but they sold out completely really quickly. Bit stupid that you could order 20 though!

    This should be in the book club thread but as we are here a free review of said book. As far as books about tractors go it's rubbish. Tractors and Eastern Europe have been part of my life and someone thought it would be a good Christmas present. It wasn't.

    Yeah why was that?
    I was driving up Clive Sully and it looked rammed up ahead so I came off at St Andrews and snuck in the back way (! Oo er) but when I'd been in and was coming back it was even worse, queuing back to Sainsbury's in Hessle!

    EDIT - according to Mrs Tash it was due to the road closures being in place for Freedom Festival
