Atticus Finch

think these may have already been posted before but worth another listen on a Friday night,

Used to work in Beverley years ago, out on work’s Christmas do one night and it was snowing quite heavy, we ended up in Nellies and I thought I’d stepped back in time with the dimly lit gas lamps and coal fires, half expected to see Sherlock Holmes sat in one of the alcoves.

Nellies in Beverley, is that the one lit by gas lamps and coal fires?

He played at the Bately variety club in the late 60’s. Probably decided to visit the beautiful Yorkshire dales whilst here.

I fear he may have stayed the night here...

Yeah but “Ingoe” eggs though!

Spot on

Every year I call in at the Cromarty Micro brewery when I’m up in Scotland to pick up a supply of their award winning “Red Rocker” beer. This time I was lucky enough to chat to the head brewer while in their shop and after noticing majority of their beer range now available in cans I asked him why the change According to him cans are the future, the quality & taste of the beer is not affected due to a plastic coating inside the can. He said beer quality in bottles is more likely to be affected by sunlight where cans are not, plus it’s cheaper for the brewery. Craft ale out of a can does take some getting used to though.

Great post Tone, magic of the F.A cup.... brought back some great memories. Pitches were as shite as I remember them. Still cannot work out why the linesman disallowed Whelan's goal though in the first game, maybe levelling up for disallowing the York goal earlier.

It was a close game, went to extra time if my memory is correct, York also had a goal disallowed before the 90 mins was up. Didn't think it was the 5th round though

York City is my local non league team having fallen out of the league and down the football pyramid over the last few years, national league north now. I did take my grandsons to watch them a few times before lockdown at their Bootham (or Kit Kat) crescent ground which unfortunately has now been sold for housing development. Anyone remember when we played there two years running in the FA cup 3rd round back in the early 80’s? First one was a freezing January day, most games were called off but York had covered the pitch in tonnes of straw the night before and the game went ahead, some deliberate shithousery by York though to try stop us playing football as the pitch was a fucking disgrace and looked more like a ploughed field and we were fortunate to come away with a draw. Thumped them at Anfield 7-0 in the replay a week or so later though.

Nah mate...try this stuff you’ll change your mind (and shit yerself if you eat enough).
