Hey matey, I, erm, thought I would hand you the honour of being 'Answererer' and 'Inquisitor'. Hope you dont mind....sorry! lol


Uno - What is your proudest moment as a Leeds fan?

Probably when we won the First Div title in 92. We sat in the old Lowfields shed that season so when the team were presented with the trophy at the last home game they were stood in front of a billboard with champions on etc facing the West Stand We couldn’t see a thing so all the East side of the ground started shouting so Strachan stuck his head round the board, raised the trophy and waved directly at me. That’s what it felt like anyway.

Two - We all love a good rant about the French, Tony Blair, Gary Neville and 'H' from Steps, but is there a subject you irrationally feel strongly about? What is it?

I really think euthanasia should be made legal. If somene has a terminal illness and is in constant pain then I think it should be their choice to end that suffering. I know if I were in that situation I wouldn’t want to put myself and my loved ones through months or even years of stress and worry.
There is the argument that the person might not be of sound mind or it’s an easy option for the family but it seems to work ok in places like Holland.

Troyes - If you were to hold a dinner party for 6, which other 5 people would you invite and why ? They can be alive or deceased. (Ty KD4)

Ian Botham – I’m not a massive cricket fan but I admired Botham’s passion and will to win when he played. He also wasn’t afraid to speak his mind against the the ‘gin swigging old farts’ that ran the game. Second is nowhere and losing hurts.

Noel Gallagher – Whether you like his music or not this guy can tell a great story and we’ve had similar(ish) up bringings. We could also have an acoustic jamming session after dinner.

Julie Walters – She’s a great actress and very funny. When I’ve seen her interviewed on tv she comes across as a very warm caring person too.

Tommy Cooper – I just have to look at the bloke and I laugh and his routines would go down a storm at any party. I once read somewhere that the Americans didn’t rate him because his tricks always went wrong. Whoosh!

Helena Christiansen – First saw her in a Chris Isaak video and thought she was the most amazing looking woman I’d ever seen. I’ve heard she flirts like f*ck while doing the washing up too.

Flour - What are you guilty pleasures, musically and in film? Something that you really, really, shouldnt lurve, but you do...!

Musically it would be brass bands, which sounds a bit of a Northern cliché I suppose. I don’t have any music at home but the sound of a brass band takes me back to my childhood when the local one used to walk round the the village and play on street corners and collect money for charity. If they played a tune that my Grandad knew he would sing along to my Nan, who would tell him to “shut up you silly old bugger” but I knew she liked it really.

Films would be dopey romantic stuff like Richard Curtis writes. In Notting Hill when Julia Roberts says to Hugh Grant “I’m just a girl stood in front of a boy asking him to love her” I want to be that boy and we live happily ever after. It must be the piscean in me?

Fire - Any youthful acheivements to be proud (Or not so!) of? Sporting, or otherwise.

I used to throw the javelin in the school athletics team and on a good day could do 38-40m which wasn’t bad for a 14/15 year old, or so I thought. Any thoughts of being a future olympic medallist were wiped out at a Yorkshire schools event when I came up against lads that were throwing 45-50m. I was gutted, second was nowhere near.

Ajax - If you were to appear on Mastermind, what would be your specialist subject (Leeds United, not permitted!!), and why?

This is a tough one because I honestly can’t think of something I would specialise in but I tend to do well on general knowledge when watching it on tv. I guess I just remember useless shite!

Slevin - Clarkson, Hammond or May? and why?

I’d have to say Hammond because he comes across as a really genuine nice bloke who I could go to the pub with and talk about cars and bikes all night. James May would come a close second. He was on a programme recently with Oz Clarke and they basically just drove around France sampling loads of different wine and he made for a really funny drunk person. Clarkson just plays to the camera and is a bit of an arse imo.

Celtic - Whats your view on the Terracing/Seating situation in Football Stadiums?

Like most fans I think all seating has killed some of the atmosphere at a match and I really hope that the authorities allow some terracing to return. My first games at ER were with a mate and his Dad stood on the kop and it was fantastic, but a bit scary as well, to be in that environment.
I think what happened at Hillsbrough was terrible but it I can’t see it ever happening again.

Nein - As Prime Minister for a week, you have 7 laws for the 7 days, What do you change/implement?

Ok, some serious and some not so serious.

1. Sex offenders and child abusers will be jailed for life, and I mean until they die in prison. Therapy and counselling do not work as it in their genes.

2. Rapists will be castrated, like a mad randy dog. Take away the tool of the crime so to speak.
3. Euthanasia will be brought in, as above. If you have a terminal illness and want to die in peace and comfort then I believe your wishes should be respected.
4. The police are allowed to clip mouthy chavs around the lughole.
5. Smiling is compulsory on Fridays.
6. Socks of any colour worn with sandals should see the guilty person put in stocks and pelted with rotten fruit.
7. It is not necessary to see Alex Ferguson celebrate every time Man United score. The sight of a 63 year old man jumping up and down while hugging his Portugese side kick is just wrong. I mean, he can’t even make a proper clenched fist anymore, just that weird thumb-stuck-out thing? You just watch next time he’s on.


Ten - Tell us 6 interesting facts about yourself (Also KD4, wid tanks)

1. I once found a dead body. I bet that grabbed your attention eh? It was the bloke who used to be my drumming teacher when I was 16. He was called George Dean and was very well known amongst the big band community and had played for the likes of Frank Sinatra and Shirley Bassey. He was 83 when he died so it wasn’t a complete shock but still not nice when you’re only a kid. I walked into his flat and he was slumped in his chair with an angina inhaler thing in his hand. There was a weird smell in the flat and when the police and doctor came they reckoned he’d died the previous day. I’ll never forget that smell and I never played drums again.
2. I’ve been kissed by Liam Gallagher. We’d gone to see Oasis at Sheffield Arena and he was in the crowd watching Travis, who were the support act. I turned round to tell my mate I was going to the toilet and someone grabbed my shoulder and spun me round so our noses were touching then he grinned and went down the Arena players tunnel. No-one else saw it, as it was still dark, and didn’t believe me until he came on stage dressed exactly how I’d described him.
3. On an early meet-the-parents date at our lasses I spewed up when her Mam told me the crumble pudding in my mouth was rhubarb. I managed not to do it actually at the table but ran to the back door and did it down the drain. I hate rhubarb and blame it on junior school dinners. I’m not too keen on her Mam still either.
4. I’ve split the skin on the underside of my knob, you know that bit that looks like an upside down Y. Let’s just say I was young and not yet aware that girls aren’t as ‘ready for action’ as quick as a boy can be. I was in a panic about what was worse, bleed to death or go to hospital with a bandage round my knob! After a bit of dabbing with a tissue it was clear neither was going to happen so I calmed down. Still got a shag as well, result!
5. I can do a fantastic impression of a wood pigeon, It is so good it even fools the 2 that nest in a big tree at the back of our house. If I stand in the back garden and make the noise they land on our garage roof to see where it’s coming from. F*ck knows what the neighbours think like!. I learnt it as a kid while listening to all the birds in a wood opposite my Mam’s house.
6. I nearly drowned on holiday when I was 5. I went down the steps in the deep end and just kept going. I remember sinking as my chest filled with water and things started to blur as I lost consciousness. I was saved by a German bloke who pulled me out by my hair and I spluttered all the water out at the side of the pool. What a way for a piscean to nearly die eh?!



Well that’s me done and having read it over a few times I wouldn’t be surprised if everyone avoids me like the plague from now on!. Even I think I sound a bit weird. All I can say is that I’ve answered them as honestly as possible so you can either like it or lump it
It’s actually brought back some happy memories, and a few sad ones as well, so thanks to Northern White for prompting my trip down that lane. I now have the task of coming up with 10 questions of my own and someone to put them to????????????

Flippin eck m'duck!! You are indeed an odd un :scarehair: :scarehair:

quality answers Rich, :D

No wonder you call people "Cocky"..........

Fuckin superb Rich, not sure i agree with all the piscean similarities..

Just had to check my knob for damage..

Liam kissed you then went down the Arena tunnel, thought you were fu fu...

Strictly mate. I changed the wording of that bit a couple of times but obviously there's still a double entendre in there. :lolanimate:

Cracking read mate....one thing though

If seeing the old man dead stopped you playing the drums, did the knob injury stop you from playing the banjo? :lol:

Nah mate I can still knock out a decent tune on that. It did teach me not to put it somewhere that was drier than Ghandi's flip flops though. :lol:

How rude Ricardo!!

Very entertaining, and moving in places too. Are you scared of water?


PS Col wants to know if you play the banjo solo or in a group?

I dont want to imagine Rich and Col on the porch in their dungarees, dualing on their banjo's..

So i will forget it and put the thought in your minds...

What if it was to please Ann.........

Then id say get your pesky hands off, i was warming my plectrum up for her..

Im just glad I came up with something reasonably interesting to ask, t'wud be harsh to kill the thread this soon, and tis not as easy as it seems!!!

Also, very good answers!

Good work Bruv.

Surprised no mention of the Romani background and cock fighting - oh how we laughed when that little Jewish boy from down the road challenged us.

Aye Rich's cock still had the bandage on..

We just weren't expecting him to have his weapon unsheathed I guess......
