They certainly do but when did the Mail get the power to arrange some sort of vigilante court, its a short step from fingering an alleged culprit to then arranging his/her punishment, a short step which I wouldn't be surprised to hear that the Mails editors are straining at the leash to put into practice.

When the newspaper owners start to make and administer the laws then you'll know its time to leave.

He's been charged now, so I guess we need to stop discussing it.

Yes, its funny that isn't it - when its a national newspaper they can accuse what the hell they like against who the hell they like as long as that person is not a multi-millionaire who is willing to use the law to vigourously defend their name, like certain pop artists for instance, I suppose a vending machine mechanic probably isn't in that league.

No, Boris, that's Liverpool.

We do have one but as we won the war of the roses, people from yerksheer might possibly, still bear a grudge, so we don't rub it in.

Well at least Usain Bolt didn't stick two fingers up at the crowd on live tv, that'd be a really stupid and unprofessional thing to do now wouldn't it?

Unless "we" are Welsh, then "we" didn't.
Neither Yorkists nor real Lancastrians "won".
The Lancastrian nobility were virtually wiped-out in 1461.
Having not taken part in the wars until then, Henry Tudor "won" the Wars of the Roses when Richard III died at Bosworth in 1485.
Granted, he claimed to be a Lancastrian, but a swift glance at his lineage shows his closest claim was through being the son of the second marriage of a lady who had been married to Henry V and had no Lancastrian heritage of her own.
Her second marriage after having widowed was to a Welsh bloke called Owen Tudor.
Henry Tudor was their son.
Henry did have a Lancastrian half-brother from his mother's first marriage but there was no Lancastrian blood in Henry's veins.

Nonetheless, if you want to believe in the County versus County bollox and bask in that perceived glory, you go right ahead.

Even better than that though, we beat them 56-6.

Yorkshire now 10th in the Olympic medal table, the Brownlee brothers level with Lithuania...

Add a silver to their tally for Lizzie Armitstead and Otley aren't doing too bad on their own, got one of each colour now



My daughter works in a hotel that does some sort of sponsorship deal with the Brownlees and she sees a lot of them in the bar and reception, they've had another triathelete training with them in the last couple of months too, he was staying at the hotel - she's waiting for them all to come back so she can have a photo taken with the medals

Ok then, I will, bask in the glory that is.

Otley/Bramhope? Meh.

Enjoy

No, not that hotel

I was meaning more the expansion of Otley to include Bramhope.

Perhaps we could have a game of "If Yorkshire were a country...."?

I'll start:

If Yorkshire were a country it would be a failed state.

If Yorkshire were a country, then Dally & the Daily Mail could be banned from it. Sounds good enough to me.

Medal table:

If ?

I'll offer another:

If Yorkshire were a country, it's flag would be a brown cross on a brown background.

ee

FAIL.

We already have a flag, a white rose on a white background, not as daft as it sounds, and we fly it from public buildings on Yorkshire Day.


I'll give you one though...

If Yorkshire were a country it would be a secret country with signs on the A1 just after Lincolnshire stating "Do not stop your vehicle until you reach Teeside", we don't want interlopers from down south coming here and ruining it for those of us lucky enough to be born here.

So the Yorkshire Tourist Board is wasting it's time then?

No it does vital work, diverting people to all kinds of nice places outside Yorkshire.
