@EasyPeasy_3 100% my experience with my lad. Not the biggest, fastest or keenest to throw himself into a 50/50 challenge. But, he had a great first touch and could really pick a pass and execute. It was never noticed or encouraged. Physicality was all mattered. Got fed up and sacked it off.

@OurSoundMusic3 The Feeling

[Nickie Brown @Nickie_Brown]

Let’s have a think about what’s happening in Makerfield.

This by election is costing taxpayers £226,208. And it’s happening because a Labour MP chose to step aside to make room for Andy Burnham’s leadership ambitions. He admitted that himself.

But here’s some more interesting figures.

If Burnham wins, he’ll have to resign as Greater Manchester Mayor too. That triggers another election costing taxpayers around £4.7 million.

So in total, nearly £5 million of public money could be spent not on improving services, fixing roads, supporting communities or helping struggling families, but on political career ambitions.

People are struggling with bills, crime, NHS waiting lists and communities being ignored. Yet Westminster politics still seems focused on who climbs the ladder next.

That’s what frustrates people. Not democracy. Political games made to look like democracy.

@PhilMealey Cheers Phil. The Coro in Ulverston (564 seated cap) and Barrow in Furness Town Hall (200 seated cap) here are the specs. https://t.co/KBVrzt23ew and https://t.co/tSaVmZl9Rb

@PhilMealey The humour was always in the little interactions. Like when Eddie is mithering Ken about roadworks while he's pulling him a pint and Ken says: "I couldn't give a shit Eddie. Give us three quid cock." Hahaha

@GroomB Colin Bell and Colin Waldron had a restaurant in Whitefield called The Bell Waldron haha

@LiamMcIlvanney @AnthonyTeasdale That's a blast from the past. It was available in Newcastle but I never saw it any further down south!

@vickyinatutu Sometimes it's economics for the venue too. They make so little on ticket sales. 400 rock fans at an AC/DC tribute will drink a fair few pints which helps keep the doors open.

@Snooker_Chat I remember during a Neil Robertson game, one of the commentators talking about how clean living he was, into healthy regimes, food etc and JV piped up in his dry voice: "You certainly wouldn't describe him as one of the game's hellraisers*.... Perfect...

Dont think the flat Wembley atmosphere has helped #EnglandRL Be different when they are back up north in the next two tests.
