The old mines themselves are quite picturesque with those stone buildings that contained the winding gear etc and we shouldn’t forget the Cornish mining industry was the birthplace of the pasty I think so kudos there. cornwall is an odd shape - long and tapered - that points south so the mining bit is towards the south western tip but the bigger mining town’s Are towards the northern coast of the southernmost tip (if that makes sense)....... I love it down there.....mousehole, helston etc are our faves. And the seals at gweek ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time he said the word Derby he used to pretend to spit in a bin. He also closely resembled Frodo Baggins . Leeds don't have any rivalry with Derby you know, we're just hanging on the coat tails of a giant who didn't exist till the 1920's and relied on a loan from Huddersfield to stay afloat. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Some people are just really vulnerable and even if they are taking drugs, why? Why are they drinking, why are they taking drugs? When is the mental health system going to stand up and take responsibility for people?" And there lies the problem although this family seems to be one of the better ones ,it's not someone else's responsibility it's your own fecking responsibility not let everyone else pay for your lack self discipline.

EtoileSportiveDeDerby Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 On 14/10/2019 at 01:40, Squid said: Well, the PSG owners are still interested in Leeds, if only we could some how persuade them... At the week end on French TV, the chairman of OGC Nice (Ligue 1 club) was a guest following the recent takeover of the club by Jim Ratcliffe. Ratcliffe is Britains 3rd richest man based and owner of Ineos (petrochemical conglomerate). The chairman was asked how did it happen ? He said he'd heard that Ratcliffe was keen on sports, he owns the Ineos cycling team, financed the sub 2 hour marathon this week-end and had also tried to buy Chelsea in the past for a mere 2.5B squid. The chairman contacted Ratcliffe, heard nothing for a few weeks and one day email turned up saying he 'd like to buy the club. Simple as that. May be local lad David Brailsford could get Ratcliffe's email adress to help out Mel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the Cornish are serious about it. They will probably join Scotland and Wales opting for independence. Cornwall could become 30th member state of Europe. Mass export of Pasties to the English ?
