That’s the beauty of Harwood. Right on the edge of the bit where rural meets urban but with no industry. (Apart from the quarry and the resulting mountain alongside it)
10 minute drive into town (at selected times) or 10 minute walk to the countryside.
I’ve lived here for 56 of my 58 years.
Love how you can walk from Harwood to the Pack Horse at Affetside which is a proper country pub (or it was till they renovated it).

Well, if you want a list of our misses over the years it makes for sorry reading.
Every club misses some but jeez.
We had the nephew of Tommy Banks on out books, mid 50's. A schoolboy predicted to be a great player. He was ill with flu & so not signed when shitehawk Busbyturned up at his home & persuaded him to sign. One Duncan Edwards. That didn't end well.
In that era we didn't give Bolton fan Roger Hunt a try when he asked 3 times. We declined to take up Alan Ball. We lost Frannie Lee as he was poached from us. At least we had actually signed him. We'd have had more players than West Ham in the 1966 final & it would have been Bolton who won the World Cup.
Martin Dobson, as said, was in our Juniors but released. We were offered a look at Colin Bell ffs.
Later seasons saw Mariner, Paul Flitcroft & Jason Wilcox missed. Presumably many more.
I think Duncan Edwards was a relative of Dennis Stevens who had the clothes shop in Harwood not Tommy Banks.

Other than shark attacks mate, a bloke died when I lived in Wollongong from a blue ringed octopus bite. He was swimming in a rock pool not far from the fishing harbour. Apparently these things are one of the worst you can encounter down here.
My brother lives at the foot of the Blue Mountains in NSW. Funnel web spiders are the dangerous fuckers there. Some on here who know the mad bugger won't be surprised to hear that he hunts them, catches them and claims the monetary reward from the local anti-venom manufacturer.
Since 1988 I have seen two snakes and a few redbacks, That's it. Overblown BS about how dangerous it is down here.
Mate I'm not one bit surprised he hunts deadly spiders, he was always frightened of fuck all.

Fair play to Mounts, partial sunshine, Ole, San Miguel and Seve 👌
I was due to go out today but obviously cancelled luckily i postponed our tests. Ive booked flights for 2nd January but not holding my breath they were only £17 so no big loss. I don't think we're mad its just me and the Mrs we only know a few people over there, we would be spending daylight hours out in the sunshine taking exercise, and eating and supping would be outside and socially distanced, safer than here. Might be wrong probably won't get there.

I drove past a bloke in an old skool Leeds scarf by the flats in the centre of Eccles t'other day. Mon must have been taunting you Rog, standards are slipping, poor.
He'll be left over from the original run in, shell shocked like those japs they used to find on Iwo Jima still fighting WW11 .

I reckon we should shorten this xmas bubble from 5 days to 3 ( xmas eve, xmas day, boxing day) with a maximum of 12 adults. I also think gtr m/cr should remain in T3 till new year. Then if our numbers allow it, put us in T1 early in the new year.
Just now, Good Knee said:Thats an awful lot of common sense in one post mate.

I always think its a hard one getting the right manager, in my 50 odd years of following us id say we got it right with Ian Greaves, maybe Jimmy Armfield, Todd had us playing some wonderful stuff and obviously the big man.The urinals since Busby have got it right once and he was a whisker from getting potted.The Mickey Mousers got it right regularly when appointing from the famed boot room but struggled for years until Klipetty came along.Very difficult to get right.

He's shit or sugar that Santos think it was a penalty but what the fuck was he doing just prior to it.Still get sumert here.

Only went in Oscar's once it was Sunday afternoon and some lads from Farnworth that I was working with at the time had hired the place for a private party as a send off for their mate who was joining the marines, they had strippers and comedian on and I was stood at the bar chatting to the marine and some of his mates when a big cheer went up and one lad told him not to turn around which he did to find his dad back scuttling one of the strippers. Farnworth lads eh.!

I watched a Yorkshire vet shove his arm up a sheep's womb last night. Put a rope round a lamb's head and describing his actions as he went over each ear etc. Then yanked it out and saved its life.
Takes some training and skill; if loads could do it, it would be cheaper.
It is expensive though, wouldn't imagine there are too many poor vets.
You get ripped off when people realise they've got you by the short un curlys ie poorly pets, and a need to get somewhere in my case to the sunshine.

Do your own then.
Dont forget to pay for however many years of medical training that’s needed, plus renting/buying a premises, then all the gear. Etc etc
Its like this at the vets - “£40 just to be told to change his food”.
Vet school costs £50k
I know all that but being ripped off is subjective and like trips to the vet I feel I'm being ripped off. How much medical training do you need to stick a cotton wool bud up someones snot box ?

Why’s it a rip off?
This is where people tend to forget that the NHS is free but it all has to be paid for.
Newlands is a private sector business, why should they do it for less? I assume they have overheads, wages, bills etc....
Because it's about 10 mins work and I just feel like I'm being ripped off.
-
Managed to get an appointment at Newlands Medical centre its £129 ,we've paid £15 each deposit so if they go any cheaper we may be able to try elsewhere. Fucking rip off.
