With those credentials, have you considered putting your name down for Ponting's job?

He could, though, because if my geography's correct, isn't Australia a suburb of Cas?

Ben Parker - and he is a Pontefract lad.

He's been known to booze in the same pub as me.




Towns > Ben Parker.

Was there a boundary line running through your house? i doubt it very much. So where is the dilemma you were born in either Cas or Pontefract, there is a couple of clues here and to say you have had a university education imo does not bode well for our education system

Firstly your mum assuming she was telling the truth paid her rates to Cas borough council which might lead one to suggest you live in Cas and not ponty, and secondly as you are aware and no doubt happy with the situation you are part of Wakey council which had you lived in Ponty you would not, so unfortunately you are from Cas although I not sure what Derby has got to do with it, and fwiw by the standard of some of your posts I am not totally convinced you have had an education at all

and while we are on the subject of Ponty once and for all is Ponty part of Castleford or not because whether you like it or not Tim Bresnan was born in Pontefract not Castleford so stop trying to jump on the bandwagon because he had a good couple of games for England, I doubt it but I hth, thanks for the insults by the way no doubt a product of the Castleford education system

So saying someone who has lived nearly all his life in castleford, went to school there and learnt his trade there is a cas lad, is jumping on a band wagon in your eyes.

Just so as we are clear, because if that is your opinion, your thick as a divers clog.

2 seperate issues here, why the the insult? have I insulted you no i havent so please do not show your lack of good manners and your ignorance by insulting me unless of course you went to school with speedie.
Secondly, he is 24 year old or there abouts and has not lived nearly all his life in Cas not yet anyway, if he lives there till he dies then you can say that, just one simple question and just a yes or no will do was he born in Pontefract, and my last point to you if he had got knocked all over the pitch in Melbourne and Sydney and had 2 disastrous games for his country would you be on here with a Tim Bresnan thread i doubt it, and what if that were the case and somebody said what do you expect he's a Cas lad, how many would have said no he's from Ponty, just shows what some lengths some people on here will go to for recognition.

For starters if he'd have had a nightmare game, us cas folk would say it as it is.
Luckly for england he didn't so naturally we are bigging him up.....something wrong in that.

My 2 daughters where born in pontefract materity hospital, you ask them where they are from, they sure wont say pontefract.
If they had been born on the top deck of a double decker bus, you expect them to be from ''the top deck of a double decker bus'' your arguement is laughable.

Tbh i didn't realise wakefield fans were bitter even over our cricketers. GO BRESNAN.

Well what is your point then?





Is this a trick question?








I have never mentioned Cowdrey or Pringle or Vaughan so how can I change the subject and imply that I never meant this, and as for covering up the fact where Bresnan was brought up, it is not the issue and never has been,
read my post where I said he came from Ponty not Cas that is the issue, but for some reason you want to cloud it by saying he comes from Cas which in effect means he never left there in the first place.

'"

Ahhh bitterness, sure brings the best out of people.

Sure does. I just love the way that when you celebrate the success of one of your own, there are always sad, twisted people with nothing to celebrate who try to bereave you of your fun and joy, making themselves look idiotic into the bargain.

Awwwwww diddums.

Where are YOU from, Mel?

I was born in Doncaster, but now reside in Wakefield, which when people ask me that is what I say hth.

George you have made a fool of yourself already, try not to make a bigger fool of yourself by giving us an encore

Is that it, why don't you take some tips from speedy, he always comes out with the insults when he's made a fool of himself,

just like you really

I know it wasn't you that brought them up, but you are changing the subject. Can I remind you again?

What you said was:


So are you trying to tell us that people from Pontefract talk the same as people from Castleford? Or that the way a person speaks is down to where they're BORN and not where they're BROUGHT UP?



There was no embarrassment on my part. All my friends will tell you that I only ever do throwaway gags like that (and can you come up with a quote where I've implied it was hilarious?). Still, I do seem to have hit a raw nerve somewhere with the Barnsley comment. Would you like me to offer a retraction?

It's a shame that you've never been anywhere else then really. This is probably why you have no idea about any of the rest of the world.

And just how would that be exactly?

How extremely sad that a thread congratulating a Cas lad doing well for England has turned into a pointless slagging match. Some people really need to grow up.

Yeah, I suppose so.

Sorry

I wouldn't hold your breath for an apology from the other guy though
