Good Day Dear Reader. I begin with a request. I know that quite a few of you either come from, or live in Yorkshire. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in joining a webring for Yorkshire bloggers. I’ll set the thing up, you would just need to add the code to your blogs. I know there was a similar ring, but it seems to be defunct, which is a shame, because over recent weeks I have come across some great blogs published by Tykes and this would be a way to highlight them. If you are interested just drop me a line, and once we have enough people, say 5, I’ll send you the info about joining up. You will find my email address in the column to the right. OK, on with today’s post . . .

The weather is a bit funny today. Not in an amusing way, the weather is rarely amusing in my experience. No, it’s one of those days when you aren’t sure what to wear, a jumper leaves you feeling chilly, but put on a jacket and you are feeling clammy by the time you get to the end of the road. I’m not sure why I’m telling you this, but now you know.

On the chicken front. Having received official approval, I am now weighing up the pros and cons of different varieties of chicken. You see not all chickens are the same, oh no, not at all. Pure breeds don’t produce as many eggs, as mixed breeds, but they lay for longer. Heavy varieties are less likely to attempt to fly than lighter ones. And these are all important considerations. Especially, potential escape attempts. While our neighbour on one side, is a friendly, happy go lucky chap, who would view a roaming chicken as an interesting diversion to his daily routine, on the other side we have Mr and Mrs God Awful . . . not their real names LOL Mr and Mrs GA were shocked at the sight of peas and tomatoes growing in our front garden, so I doubt they would be impressed should a chicken attempt to pay them a visit.

I have a theory about why the English football team have failed to win a World Cup since 1966. We all know, the English are a modest self-effacing people, who do not approve of ‘showing off’. As Bill Bailey once said, “I am English and as such I crave disappointment.” Therefore, winning one World Cup was acceptable, to win two, would be an act of ‘showing off’ of the highest order. With this in mind, the FA and everyone else involved in English football have taken every opportunity to ensure this never happens. This is the reason for their refusal to ever pick Matt Le Tissier, and the motivation for sacking any manager who looks as though he may make a half decent job of running the team. You see, it all makes sense when you look it in those terms.

And that’s it for today folks, off now to do some foraging. OK, I’m actually going to the shops, but it amounts to the same thing.
