Bang on, but remember it's NEVER their fault. ;)

England manager, Roy Hodgson's appeal to English fans. In other words, "Pipe down for crying out loud". I hope they don't spoil the match on Thursday (or the days leading up to it). My brother will be there supporting Wales and really doesn't need the hassle.

People who said they wouldn't watch Top gear again after the first episode watched the second episode, shocker. :D

You're American? Aww that's nice. Coincidentally, our history is similar to yours, only 50 times bigger. :)

I've been looking through the pictures I took during my trip and I thought I'd post one from the Parr exhibition. I won't post any more here though because although all his pictures are pretty much openly available to see online, I don't want to spoil the exhibition for anybody (if anybody wants...

I did go back, literally as I was heading off. And I did buy a signed book. Absolutely chuffed to bits.

I'm debating whether to go back there again today to buy a signed copy of one of his books. They're not cheap (or are they?) but I know I'll regret it if I don't. Edit: I've just popped in to Hampsons Plant World in Wakefield to pick up some chilli plants and have a cuppa. It's brilliant. I...

I look at The Rhubarb Triangle as, on the whole, a more conventional "straight" documentary. Unlike many of his other works, the humour normally associated with Parr's work isn't present in most of The Rhubarb Triangle (or at least that's how I see it). I say most because a few of the pictures...

I spent all afternoon yesterday at the Hepworth and went back this morning. I love it. There's something about seeing the pictures all big and well presented that I can't explain. Parr's film on Englishness was playing on loop and I watched it through twice, lolling frequently. I also really...

Cheers Phil. I'm sure I'll find somewhere friendly with good beer. I usually have a nose for these things. :)

From North Wales, Phil, but I'm staying in Wakefield for two nights.

I need to start researching craft beer tap houses in the area. Any recommendations?

Yes, The Non-Comformists is there. :D Key series include:The Non-Conformists, 1975-80; The Last Resort, 1983-85; The Cost of Living, 1989; Autoportrait, 1991-2012 and Common Sense, 1995-99."

Looks good. :)

Has anyone here been yet? I've just made the necessary plans and now it's definite, I will be visiting yonder Wakefield at the beginning of next month. I can't wait. Marvellous.
