Something that I learnt today that is very interesting is that Claire Taylor ousted Viv Richards from the Lord's Hall of fame, for the highest 1 day individual score at the home of cricket, her knock of 156* in 2006, beat Viv Richards 138 which had held the honour since 1979.
I'm now totally disillusioned about Mr Ed! Pah and yes, I did know about football, Hallam FC is the oldest club in the country, just down the road from Ourouse. More to the point, Huddersfield is, as you say, Dave, the home of Rugby League.
There are things you know, there are things you don't know, there are things you know you don't know, but watch out for the things you don't know you don't know.
As we know,
There are known knowns.
There are things we know we know.
We also know
There are known unknowns.
That is to say
We know there are some things
We do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns,
The ones we don't know
We don't know.

Did you know that the George Hotel in Huddersfield, is where the sport of Rugby League was born? Harold wilson was the midwife apparently!

I didn't know that, that is interesting. I do know that the rules for association football were drawn up just down the road in Sheffield.

Did you know that Mr Ed (from the TV series) was not in fact a horse but was a zebra.
