In the second tie of the Bank Holiday weekend Civil Service were crushed at Pocklington losing by 8 wickets. We lost the toss and were put in to bat in the sunshine. A steady start again was the order of the day but it wasn’t long before a wicket or two had fallen. Shep not [...]

I’ve just watched Boro draw with the Barcodes at the Riverside. It’s not the result I was looking for but I’ll take it. Inevitably the big Aussie splitter Viduka scored on his return but a goal on his home debut from Mido and another from Julio Arca secured a point for the home team.

Having led [...]

In the crunch bottom of the table clash at Heslington my cricket claimed a much needed against fellow strugglers New Earswick. We lost the toss and were put in to bat. A slowish start was helped by a couple of good overs straight after drinks saw us to about 45 after 17 overs. But soon [...]

Went to see it last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is as fast and action packed as the first two with great action sequences, chases - be they on foot, motorcycle or in a car - and even some decent dialogue in the, few and far between, talky bits.
It picks up right where it [...]

… indulging in a Bourne extravaganza in anticipation of my impending trip to see The Bourne Ultimatum tomorrow. I can’t wait!

Attempting to play cricket in the pissing miserable British weather. We had the pleasure of chasing leather around for a couple of hours until the rain put paid to our match against leaders Sessay on [...]

A new season but the same old crappy start for my beloved Boro! Played 2 lost 2 and both to those ‘wrong side of the hills’, red rose types. Still we’re only 2 points behind United!

Last night I went to the New Roscoe in Leeds to see Robert Fisher, Michael Weston King and Jackie Leven playing an acoustic set. The 3 of them were on stage together singing ‘in the round’ i.e. they took it in turns to sing a song. All three were excellent though I have to say [...]

Another Saturday and another sound thrashing! We went away to Goole Town on Saturday and took a sound beating at the hands of a decent side.
Having won the toss and electing to field we spent 3 hours chasing a ball around a fairly large field in the heat of the mid afternoon sun. Our [...]

My cricket team picked up only its second win of the season in the Y&DSCL division 6 tie at Wilberfoss this afternoon. On a hot sticky day we lost the toss and were put in by our opponents. A slow start was coupled with the usual regular tumbling of wickets saw us at 50 at [...]

This afternoon I cam home to a scene of carnage! It would appear that one of my house mates had been on a raid of the pigeon loft down the road and come home with a wonderful grey and white prize. This is what was left of it!

The murderous little monsters won’t be getting any [...]
