Re: I\'m very surprised

Museums - like fings - aint what they used to be.
Dylan Thomas once wrote of 'a museum that should be in a museum' but museums have moved on and as a Parent and Stinkieboatieowner - so should you. The Museum of photography has all sorts of interactive exhibits along with regular showings of Shackletons Antarctic voyage and a film about the ascent of Everest. I think its worth a visit and anyway - he's talking the White Rose County in late Aug - Sept. It'll be raining, best stay indoors.
The weans will appreciate it anyway.

Re: I\'m very surprised

Oright - if he absoolutely must, he can go to the National Photographic Museum in Bradford (which is OK but secretly is not anywhere near as good as the national gallery, the national portrait gallery, the science museum, the Tate or the Natural History Museum and hence why it's been dumped into an unused bit of the library in Bradford and well they know it imho)

I also think jimi should keep quiet about his visit - if they find out he lives in lovely Wiltshire but rented a place in rainy Ripon, dragged the kids all the way from south coast up to to Ripon, and then taken them on a blimmin daytrip to very rainy Bradford - and all the while he's got a perfickly lovely yacht on the south coast - they will put him away.

Re: harewood house

there is (or was) a quite decent bird garden at this place, bit north of Leeds. They had one or two talking birds that say "ello!". also climbing frames etc etc .

Re: sailuing mags in yorkshire dales

i will bet that there are NO sailing mags in the village shoppe. all the magazine will be about sheep. Practical Sheep Owner, Sheep Monthly, Sheep World. Probably lots of articles slagging off people who have horrid stinkie cows which need to eat loads of grass instead of bumble about eating weeds on a moor.

Re: Sheeping Monthly

i knew you'd pipe up with your flippin average white sheep! What you should have is a decent heavy displacement sheep, holds the side of a hill better in high winds PLUS much better looking.

Re: Sheeping Monthly

I thought they were called "reservior" sheep with legs on one side shorter that the other so they didn't fall over in the hills. At least the ones on Staines Res'r dont.

Re: Sheeping Monthly

Mine's no AWS, it's got swinging legs and much better grip on a hill than the heavy displacement crud you're talking about. Admit it isn't that good looking though, which is why I'm off to the sheep show. Wrong time of the year to be selling, mind.

Talking about sheep :

Q: Why did God create Scottish women?
A: Sheep can't cook.

If you're there in the next two days, there's always the third test at Headingley. (The way it's gone this morning it could be all over by tomorrow tea-time).
