Confirmed as the weekend of 21/22 May at St James Park...
Sat 21st
14.30...Salford V Widnes
16.45...Warrington v Castleford
19.00...Leeds V Wigan

Sun 22nd
13.00...Wakefield V Catalan
15.15...St Helens V Huddersfield
17.30...Hull FC v Hull KR

Same old, same old. But those going get booked quick or prices go through the roof.

So the fixtures are

1v2
3v4
5v6

then it goes
7 v 10
8 v 12
9 v 11

Is there any logic to this??? Surely we should be playing Widnes...

Not particularly enthused by another derby. Not pleased to be on last.

Just booked the hotel, Sat & Sun night, jobs a good 'un.

Cracking idea that, Stan. I think I'll just book the hotel too and sod the tickets.

Ever thought of organising Grumpyfest to rival Banksy's Dismaland?

I complain about Magic Weekend every year, usually about the venue, or the timing or the fixture yet I nearly always go. I missed 2010 (which was fortunate!) but been to the rest. Got the same B&B as last year down in South Shields.

Tried to get tickets but failed for Dismaland.

I used to really like Newcastle, didn't go this year, wasn't organised enough.

Liked that fillem with Michael Caine, what was it? "The Long Good Friday", or was that the one with Bob Hoskins and Helen Mirren?

Cardiff is the best venue, and on the Welsh theme, I liked it when we played Crusaders in Brigend, stayed at a Whether Lodge, people already gluggging pints at nine in the morning as I ate my breakfast trying to sober up for the drive home.

At the game, I got talking to some locals and asked them where was good to go later, the lads reply was classic, (affect southern Welsh accent), " That depends, do you want beer, or fanny?"

As The Deviant member of The Skein was present, we had to go fanny.

You went looking for it but did you get any

This was in the time of Ms. Terrorista v.1 who I still quite liked at the time.

Obviously, all of the south Wales hottie's wanted a piece of me, but I had to decline.

I believe the correct collective noun is a flock.
