We need to get back up on Rombalds before we move to Cheshire in a few weeks/months. Going to miss them and only a mile up the hill. Shame the pubs are closed as love walking from Dick Hudsons over to the Cow and Calf and having a pint or two in each. Although last time we did that we saw a climber fall at the Cow and break their leg! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilkley Moor (Cow and Calf rocks etc) is also just a tiny bit of the larger Rombalds Moor which nobody has heard of and is named after a local legend of a wife beating giant who fought with other giants. Well that's messed up my planned, weak joke of asking "where's that?" then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Rattling through the ‘to do’ list today. Been up the allotment stuck the broad beans in and spread 6 bags of compost around (from the compost bins at home). Ordered cast iron ‘fire pit’ from that amazon so my life can be a little bit more love island. Ordered 21 cans for £33 from Camden Brewery because I’m down to 1 last can from my Christmas stock. Booked my next recycling tip slot because I’ve just smashed up the old garden play house which weirdly lasted so well, the kids are now in Uni. Considering first mow of front lawn...

I have all of their releases and as bands go they were consistently great on a sides and b sides. Really didn’t put a foot wrong for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I should dig out my other albums and get some of the album tracks a spin , people who grinned themselves to death had some decent tracks and of course “build” They were quite self deprecating on the sleeve notes on “now that’s what I call quite good” if I recall , a band having fun The boys form teacher is about my age so he loves to go in and talk music with him , teacher hasn’t be phased by talk of Suede , James , Pulp etc but I reckon Sir will be stumped with the Housemartins ... that said the teacher will be a rabid leftie so he’s probably got a poster of Paul Heaton on his wall 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to bump into Paul Heaton a few times round Withington/West Didsbury when I lived there, great bloke. Jacqui loves meeting everyone at their gigs since the comeback too, “hiya love, y’alright?” And the singer from Everything Everything in Fallowfield once.

I played football in a jumpers for goalposts game with Heaton in a park in St Helen's once (He's a friend of a friend) We also put the Housemartins on once (1985?) in the Mandela Bar in Liverpool 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mandy Lifeboats Posted March 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2021 Today I was sitting in on a couple of cases at the Youth Justice Court just to pass some down time. It never fails to provide amusement. Names have been changed. One lad was with his dad. The dad had been Googling and now felt he was perfectly capable of getting his son off the hook. They are a lot less formal than normal courts and normally begin with everyone introducing themselves and explaining why they are there. "I am Matt. I am Tom's dad and will be representing him today". "I am Tom. I'm the one who stole the moped". Matt sighs and looks to heaven. 1 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
