Any other old buggers with long memories may have twigged I coined the "Negative Tendency" as a straight lift from the "Militant Tendency" which did so much to stuff things up (including Labour's election chances) in the 1980s. Can't imagine why I made the connection...

Anyway, I'll sign up to Wigan Bull's CC group - provided we make sure we catch people doing things right occasionally!

I think we ought to have a "People who Hate People Group" too



<May your God bless you Mr Hicks

That's me. The more I speak to people the more I realise I hate people.

That's a group of two <so far> then

. . . .does two constitute a group????

I'm torn. I like to stand on my own at games and I'm a natural candidate for the people haters. I just don't trust groups of people that give themselves a collective name.

You mean like "Bradford Bulls"?

A group of people that hate other people isn't that a paradox or a false opposition or whatever they call it on Paul Calf's video diaries.

It's a quandry, isn't it?

As Groucho Marx said, he would hate to belong to the sort of club that would accept him as a member

As generic as it gets.

TBF it has been severely sub-edited, though.

A mate of mine has access to the article as originally typeset:

BTW I didn't realise he's only ever scored two tries for Wigan, both coming [url=http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/general/rugby-league/bradford-32-wigan-28-vainikolo-keeps-bulls-on-a-run-437847.htmlagainst us[/url in this game just over two years ago. Hope I haven't jinxed it.

Forgot it was a record signing. Bet they wish they'd have kept their 450,000 now!

In fairness I did predict Semi would be next to comment in an earlier post. Spooky........

Agree 110%

amen brother

They used to burn people like you in the not too distant past - especially up your neck of the woods.

<For being a witch, of course

. . . no other reason>

Nothing of note here I'm afraid.

You'd almost think these reports were written by the same person, wouldn't you?

It's easy to do crap interviews (done a few myself in my time) but i reckon every story should have at least one thing that makes it worth reading. Platitudes are always going to be the bulk of it, but one thing that the reader didn't know before is surely not too much to ask, is it?

Exactly. I feel myself coming down with a bad case of apostasy again

I reckon it's Dave that needs to pull his finger out a bit. More of a head scratch before the rings the player up.

You reckon he speaks to the player?

I'd be surprised if he didn't, usual drill is ring up for a quick chat, ten mins normally gives you more than enough for a decent sized interview - if you've thought of some decent questions beforehand.
