It just had to be a Yorkshireman! We aren’t really sure why but to the outside world the general conception of a Yorkshireman is that he’s a dour humourless type who won’t part with his brass unless it’s really necessary. Those of us who know better realize that the main problem is that most people outside the county don’t really understand the accent or they would realize there is an awful lot of humour within the ridings. To demonstrate that fact we’ve put together a few stories that certainly made us laugh. They are, of course, best enjoyed when read in a broad Yorkshire accent! A Yorkshire couple are playing 'I spy' in the kitchen of their home. 'I spy with my little eye something beginning with T' said the husband. "Tea pot said the wife." 'Nay Lass!' "Tea towel." 'Nay Lass!' "Toaster." 'Nay Lass!' he said, drumming his fingers on the work top. "Oh I don't know" she said at long last "I give in" 'It's easy' he said. 'It's t'oven!' A Yorkshireman takes his cat to the vet. When it was his turn he says to the vet ‘I need to talk to thee about me cat.’ The vet said ‘is it a tom.’ The yorkshireman replied ‘nay lad, a’ve browt it wi’ me.’ A Yorkshire man’s dog dies and he decides to have a gold statue made by a jeweler to remember it by. He walked into the jeweller’s with a picture of his pet and said ‘can tha mek us a gold statue of yon dog?’ ‘Does tha want it 18 carat?’ asked the jeweler. ‘Nay yer daft bugger, I want it chewin a bone!’ A Yorkshire man's wife dies and the widower decides that her headstone should have the words "she were thine" engraved on it. He calls the stone mason, who assures him that the headstone will be
ready a few days after the funeral. True to his word the stone mason calls the widower to say that the headstone is ready and would he like to come and have a look. When the widower gets there he takes one look at the stone to see that it's been engraved "she were thin". He explodes – bloody 'ell man, you've left the flamin’ "e" out. The stone mason apologised and assured the poor widower that it would be rectified the following morning. Next day comes and the widower returns to the stone mason - "There you go sir, I've put the "e" on the stone for you". The widower looks at the stone and then reads out aloud - "E, she were thin". Driving to work a Yorkshireman noticed an RAC patrolman sitting in his van sobbing uncontrollably. ‘Ey up,’ he thought. ‘That poor sod’s heading for a breakdown.’ A couple of cockneys are about to open a store in Leeds and are working on the décor. ‘I’ll tell you what,’ said the first. Any minute now some daft Yorkshireman is going to come in here and ask what we’re selling and I’m going to have some fun with him.’ Sure enough, Fred wanders in off the street and says ‘Hey up lads, what’s tha selling?’ The cockney grinned and said ‘we’re selling pillocks.’ ‘Tha’s doin’ well then,’ says Fred. ‘Only two left!’ A Yorkshireman was about to go on holiday so his mate says ‘Ee Fred, can tha bring me some fags back – 200 Benson & Hedges?’ ‘Aye’ said Fred. Two weeks later he comes back, meets his friend in the pub and says ‘I’ve got thee fags, Tha owes me £74-50.’ ‘Bloody hell, ‘says his mate. ‘Where did tha go for thee ‘olidays?’ ‘ Scarborough,’ says Fred.

The trouble with research... You can always tell when there isn’t much happening in the news because that’s when TV editors invariably need to fill their half hour slot with the latest whacky research from some American University or other. The trouble is that the more paranoid among us take it all very seriously and try to adjust their lifestyles and diets accordingly. Unfortunately, since many of the survey results contradict each other they tend to create confusion and don’t really do anyone any good at all. I’ve therefore been taking note of some of the recent findings and – in my case anyway – am delighted to adapt the advice that suits me and ignore that which doesn’t! What do you think? 1. ‘A recent US study’ found that ‘keeping in touch with family and friends is good for the health because research has revealed that loneliness and stress could be linked to a higher risk of developing cancer.’ I can’t see how, personally, but any idiot knows that being close to family and friends is a natural human trait and must OBVIOUSLY be good for you. I could have told them that without being paid a fortune for it! 2. A daily dose of pistachio nuts could reduce your risk of developing some cancers, ‘according to US researchers.’ Another bunch claim that pistachios make you fat and obesity is a contributory factor to heart disease. I love the things personally so I eat as many as I like AND TAKE EXCERCISE. Solves everything! 3. Coffee has health boosting properties but researchers believe drinking it to fight a hangover is risky because caffeine makes you feel you’re no longer drunk when actually you still are. Surely that’s the whole point.
4. Research by Oxford University has revealed that 30 minutes of juggling a day could improve your brain power by five per cent. You have to be able to do it first! 5. Researchers claim that within ten years 81 per cent of men will be overweight. They’ve obviously never seen the crowd at a Newcastle United match or they would know we are there already! 6. Successful dieting isn’t just about will power, according to research. The intricacy of your diet plan also plays a big part with complicated diets full of rules and continuous weighing of food putting slimmers off. It’s the lack of food that would stop me! 7. If you’re over 45 you’re less likely to be fit, claim scientists. On average our fitness levels decline as we age, making us more likely to become overweight. Hell, that’s not research, it’s nature! When you really examine the results of all these researchers theoretically earning pots of money for crackpot notions it makes you wonder why everyone doesn’t do it. Stating the obvious is something we’re all good at.

Does it matter who earns the most? It has emerged over the last few years that in many modern households the female partner earns more than the male. (Not referring to ‘man and wife’ is intentional rather than an oversight because it is also a rapidly increasing phenomenon that the number of unmarried couples co-habiting is overtaking those that have actually ‘tied the knot.’)
But is this statistic all that surprising? In a recent article in one of the numerous women’s magazines now available it was fascinating to note that two female ‘celebrities’ differed wildly in their opinions. Anthea Turner, presenter and author of ‘How to be the perfect housewife’ quite clearly believed that men should earn more than their partners. ‘It makes perfect sense,’ she said, ‘that a man should be the major wage earner. It isn’t about feminism,’ she continued, ‘but the fact that there is something in a man’s DNA that makes him the ‘hunter/gatherer that wants to bring the carcass back to the lair. I think that men feel better earning more and that makes for a happier partnership. I know couples where the woman earns more than the man and they’re not comfortable in their relationships.’ In complete contrast former Daily Mirror editor Eve Pollard takes the feminist view. ‘Men like a certain amount of power in a partnership,’ she says, ‘but if a woman earns more the balance of power shifts. That’s not a necessarily bad thing. It’s fantastic to have the money for treats – if you earned it you can spend it.’ These are two entirely different points of view that perhaps reflect the real problems with modern relationships. The female desire to have individuality is a recent phenomenon and seems to totally overrule the real concept of a marriage. Let’s be honest, marriage where the man earns, the woman stays at home to rear the children, then everything else – including lifestyle decisions – are shared has been a successful concept for centuries. The success of that concept, however, relies on the male being as sharing as the female and not believing his income to be purely his own just because his name is on the paycheque. The modern relationship differs from that because expectations on both sides are higher. Sadly, it is the increased awareness of ‘how the other half lives’ that tends to raise the expectations – and consequently the disappointments – of many modern couples. The fact remains, however, that the happiest marriages are still true partnerships where decisions are made jointly, budgets are discussed and planned and whatever income is earned is used for the benefit of the family and not the individual!

Football does have a lighter side!
It’s been a nervy few weeks as we watch the World Cup unfold so we decided that to relieve the pressure a little we would show that football really does have a funnier side. Here are some excellent examples: (also see page 16) A man arrives at the gates of heaven, where St Peter greets him and says, "Before I can let you enter I must ask you what you have done in your life that was particularly good or brave." The man racks his brains for a few minutes and then admits to St Peter that he hasn't done anything particularly good in his life but he had been brave. "I was refereeing this important match between Liverpool and Everton at Anfield,” he said, “and with the score at nil-nil a minute before the end I awarded a penalty against Liverpool in front of the Cop." "Yes," responded St Peter, "I agree that was a real act of bravery. Can you perhaps tell me when this took place?" "Certainly," the man replied, "about three minutes ago. It was only the fourth week of the season and United's new goalkeeper had already let in twenty-seven goals. He was having a drink in a pub one night when a man approached him and said, 'I've been watching you play, son, and I think I might be able to help you.' 'Are you a trainer?' said the young goalkeeper hopefully. 'No,' said the stranger, 'I'm an optician.' Two boys were playing with a new football in the road outside their house. "Hey,"' shouted their mother, "where did you get that football?" "We found it," replied one of the boys. "Are you sure it was lost?" asked the mother. "Yes," replied the boy, "we saw some people looking for it."' There was once a fanatical Spurs supporter who thought of nothing but football all day long. He talked about football, read about football, watched nothing but football on television and attended matches as often as he possibly could. At last his poor wife could stand it no longer. One night she said, 'I honestly believe you love Spurs more than you love me!' 'Bloody hell,' said her husband, 'I love Accrington Stanley more than I love you!' The angry captain snarled at the referee. 'What would happen if I called you a blind bugger who couldn't make a good decision to save his life?' 'It would be a red card for you.' said the referee. 'And what if I only thought you were a blind bugger who couldn’t make a good decision to save his life?’ asked the captain. ‘That's different. I can’t do anything about what you think,' said the referee. ‘In that case,’ said the captain, ‘I think you’re a blind bugger who couldn’t make a good decision to save his life.’ A Darlington fan was telling his mate about the club’s new manager. ‘He won't stand for any nonsense,’ he explained. ‘Last Saturday he caught a couple of fans climbing over the stadium wall. He was furious. He grabbed them by the collars and said, "Now you just get back in there and watch the game till it finishes." Two fans arrived at an away game two hundred miles from home. The first looked around and said "I wish I'd brought my piano to the stadium." The second fan said "Why would you want to bring your piano to the football game?"First fan: "Because I left the bloody tickets on it."

Gok – both stylish and entertaining! I never thought I’d hear myself lament the end of a TV series on women’s fashion but the sad truth is that now its current run is over I’m going to miss ‘Gok’s Fashion Fix’ on a Tuesday night. They say that gay men get on better with women than women themselves and this series shows not only the truth of that statement but also the reason why. The boy has real talent for design and he certainly knows how to dress the best out of a woman. It is, however, the way he goes about it that women obviously love. Open and honest to the point of bluntness he still manages to get his message across without any offence whatsoever and he does it with real style.
If it was a woman saying the same things to her peers it would probably create World War 3, but Gok can openly tell a woman that she is ‘pear shaped’ or ‘top heavy’ while simultaneously concentrating on her good points so no offence seems to be taken. Picking out a woman as the one with ‘the worst wardrobe in the City’ is not seen as an insult but as a possible route to redemption and the recipient is always delighted to be chosen. And what he does with them after that can sometimes take your breath away. The other brilliant aspect of the programme is his competition with the dreadful fashion buyer Brix SmithStart where high end fashion competes with High Street as Gok strives to prove that you don't need to spend a fortune to look fantastic. Casting votes are made not only by Gok's faithful followers but also a front row of the most discerning fashion people in town. He invariably wins, of course, proving that the ‘designer label ’rip-off’ that has been going on for years can be overcome with the right attitude and ability. A great programme even for us totally unstylish men!
Sudoku There is really only one rule to Sudoku: Fill in the game board so that the numbers 1 through 9 occur exactly once in each row, column, and 3x3 box. The numbers can appear in any order and diagonals are not considered. Your initial game board will consist of several numbers that are already placed. Those numbers cannot be changed. Your goal is to fill in the empty squares following the simple rule above. Answers on page 20 For information about the Local Answer visit www.local-answer.co.uk

Football does have a lighter side! (Part 2) football really does have a funnier side (also see page 12) David Beckham goes shopping and spots a Thermos flask. 'What's that for?' he says. 'It's to keep hot things hot and cold things cold,' says the salesman. Beckham buys one and takes it home to show Posh. 'It's to keep hot things hot and cold things cold,' he says. 'You ought to take it to work,' she tells him. So he takes it in to training the following day. 'What've you got there, son?' asks Sir Alex. It’s called a flask’ said David. ‘It's to keep hot things hot and cold things cold.’ 'That's a good idea,' says Fergie. 'What have you got in it?' 'Coffee,' says David. 'And some ice cream.' After a tragic plane crash Sir Alex Ferguson, Fabio Capello and Arsene Wenger are standing before God at the throne of Heaven. God looks at them and says; “before granting you a place at my side, I must first ask you what you believe in.” Capello looks God in the eye and states passionately, “I believe Football should bring unbridled joy to all the people from the slums of Rio to the bright lights of Madrid. I have devoted my life to it.” God nods and offers Capello the seat to his left. Wenger stands tall and says “I believe courage, honour and passion are fundamental to life and I’ve spent my managerial career providing a living embodiment of these traits.” God, moved by the passion of the speech offers Wenger the seat to his right. Finally, he turns to Alex Ferguson. “And you, Sir Alex, what do you believe?” “I believe” says Sir Alex, “that you’re sitting in my seat.”

Stop Wasting Energy and Money Now We are all aware of global warming, climate change , and the need to reduce 'greenhouse gas' emissions into the atmosphere wherever and whenever we can. In the current economic climate we also want to stop wasting energy and money.
Craig Wilson, Managing Director of Wilson Plumbing and Heating says " The summer months are a great time to assess how efficient your heating is, enabling you to take any action needed before winter sets in. During the summer months we have special offers which makes any corrective action even more cost effective". The boiler is at the heart of any central heating system. However all the other components i.e. radiators, timers/ thermostats, and radiator valves are vital to the overall comfort and efficiency. • Boilers. Some older boilers (10-15 years old) can be as low as 60-70% efficient. This means you could be wasting as much as 30-40 pence in every pound spent on fuel bills. Upgrade to a new, condensing SEDBUK 'A' rated boiler, such as a Worcester Greenstar for example, and at least 90 pence of every pound spent on fuel will be used to provide heating and hot water for your home. Filters such as a Magnaclean Professional can be installed on the pipe work to your boiler. This filter will remove virtually 100% of suspended black iron oxide. The recent boiler scrappage scheme has been closed with all 125,000 vouchers issued, but perhaps the new government will consider providing more funding to encourage us all to upgrade our boilers to energy efficient models. There are grants available if
you are over 60, on certain benefits, or switching from coal or electric to gas or oil, or from oil to gas. Wilson Plumbing and Heating be able to guide you as to which grants may be applicable and how to apply.
• Radiators. Maybe you have noticed cold spots at the bottom of your radiator, or just feel the system does not heat your house the way it used to. It is not unusual for a radiator with several years service to have a significant level of debris present. This debris will prevent the radiator warming the room. Cleaning (flushing)your dirty system can improve efficiency by up to 15%. Having thermostatic radiator valves (TRV's) fitted enables you to control the temperature in each room individually. As well as maintaining your comfort levels at different times of the day, TRV's also provide a simple means of reducing running costs. • Heating Controls. Turn your thermostat down. Reducing your room temperature by 1 degree could cut your heating bills by up to 10% and typically save around £55 per year. If you have a programmer set your heating and hot water to come on only when required, rather than all of the time. Why not give your heating system a new lease of life?

Eat Healthily with this spicy chicken and cauliflower pie.
If you want to lose fat, you need to create a 'caloric deficit'. That is, take in less calories from your food than you burn up by your daily living and exercise. Obviously, you will lose fat (and weight) quicker if you reduce your energy intake and increase your exercise levels - but what is important is that you adopt a weight loss program that is sustainable in the long term. Some diets just focus on reducing calories in general, balancing low fat and low carbohydrates and allowing foods like bread and pasta in moderation as long as they are part of healthy recipes. Whatever type of diet you choose you will find they all rely on eating properly and so we continue to provide recipes that are not only enjoyable but also very good for you. Ingredients: 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/4 head cauliflower, cut into florets; 2 carrots, peeled and chopped; 2 celery stalks, chopped; 1/2 red or yellow onion, chopped; 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3⁄4 pound), cut into 2-inch cubes; 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon mild chili powder; 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; 1/4 teaspoon paprika; 1 1/2 cups fat-free milk; 1 cup frozen peas; 2 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise; 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard; 4 large sheets of phyllo pastry • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat the oil in a large skillet over mediumhigh heat. • Add the cauliflower, carrots, celery, and onions. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, until the vegetables soften. Sprinkle the chicken with the flour, salt, chili powder, pepper, and paprika. Add the chicken to the skillet. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the chicken just starts to brown and is cooked through. • Add the milk to the skillet and bring it to a boil, stirring often, until a thick sauce forms. Add the peas, mayonnaise and mustard. Simmer 5 to 10 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender. Transfer the chicken mixture to four ovenproof bowls. Coat each sheet of phyllo with cooking spray and stack the sheets on top of each other. Cut the stack into four pieces and press each piece on top of each bowl. Bake the potpies 10 minutes, until the phyllo is crisp. Serve immediately.

More classic sporting quotes.
I’ve often thought that if some of our favourite sports stars couldn’t kick a ball or run faster than the majority they’d be hard pushed to find worthwhile employment anywhere else? Well now we’ve managed to track down some more quotations loosely based around sport that suggest the same also applies to some of the commentators! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
12. 13. 14. 15. 16.
‘I’m not gonna try to predict what I’m gonna do, Harry, but I’m gonna come out the winner’ – Frank Bruno ‘England might now be favourites to draw this match’ – Vic Marks, Test Match Special ‘Man, I used to be so bad at sports that they picked me after the white kids’ – Chris Rock ‘Street hockey is great for kids. It’s energetic, competitive and skilful. And best of all it keeps them off the streets’ – Chris Hollins, Breakfast BBC1. ‘I was watching what I thought was Sumo wrestling on TV for two hours before I realised it was darts.’ – Hattie Hayridge ‘You must have trained very hard to swim the Atlantic because not many people have done it.’ ‘It was the channel, Richard, the bloody channel.’ – Richard Madely and David Walliams on Richard & Judy. 7. ‘I can’t see who’s in the lead but it’s either Oxford or Cambridge.’ – John Snaggs, commenting on the Boat Race. 8. ‘Kris, do you have to plan your tactics before the race or do you just try to run faster than the other blokes?’ – Mrs Merton to Kris Akabusi. 9. ‘There goes Juantorena down the back straight, opening his legs and showing his class’ – Ron Pickering commentating on an athletics meeting. 10. ‘No one hands you the F A Cup on a plate’ – Terry McDermott 11. ‘I know what a goal is, which is surely the main thing even if I don’t know the offside rule or free kicks – or side kicks or whatever they’re called’ – Victoria Beckham. ‘I’d compare him to the incomparable George Best’ – David Pleat on Ronaldo. ‘That was a tremendous free kick. It would probably have gone in if he had put it where he intended to put it’ – Stan Collymore ‘The referee said Warhurst had been sent off for foul and abusive language but the lad swears blind he never said a word!’ – Joy Royle ‘The best thing for them to do is keep it at nil-nil until they score a goal’ – Martin O Neill ‘I never comment on referees and I’m not going to break the habit of a lifetime for that prat!’ – Ron Atkinson
