    Do you think June would allow me a lick of her ice cream - or is that too much for this excitement free zone

    If it stops her eating all the hobnobs go for it. See if she wants one of those cans of Skol LiverpoolRed brought in last night.

    How weirdly appropriate, have you heard of Earnest Harold Jones? Barnsley lad through and through, mathematician and artist who painted watercolours of inside tombs inside the Valley of the Kings and was linked with the excavation of King Tut through Howard Carter of all people!

    Hi, Millichente. If you'd asked me that this time last year I'd have said no. We were over for the Birmingham game in November, you know the one where I walked out of the ground with us 16th and about seven points above the drop saying we're going to be ok this year? Anyway, before the game we went to the Cooper Art Gallery and there was an exhibition of his stuff in there. Maybe he was a Reds fan too. :)

    Sadly, he died the year before our FA Cup Final victory.

    Great exhibition wasn't it! Between him and Joann Fletcher Barnsley has turned up a couple of good Egyptologists.

    Didn't he go to Egypt for health reasons? I guess the smell of Woodbines in the Brewery Stand wasn't too good for his lungs.

    I'm beginning to think you're obsessed with ice cream, I really am.

    I believe so. They tended to recommend places like Egypt for people with respiratory problems or TB as the dry air was supposed to help dry it up.

    I'll tell you what. I've been to Luxor in the autumn and it was unbelievably hot even then. I'm really not sure I could stick living there.

    You have your birds adhere to orderly queueing systems? Now that is impressive.
    Help yourself to another biscuit.
