    Ricky Tomlinson and Ralph Little are in Barnsley - well worth watching if you haven't seen it.

    The Yorkshire pudding they had looked amazing so I googled it online and it should be at seven quid :) Good to see them at Locke Park. It's a shame they didn't visit Oakwell considering they were driving towards it.

    For one Yorkshire? :eek: They went up the ground but didn't show it. They were virtually next to it :)

    Off topic. Ricky Tomlinsons Biography an absolute must ( Read quite a few biographies and his is my top choice) . Includes his term in Prison for trumped up union activities.

    Re my Previous reference to his autobiography.

    Dare I say one of my favourite human beings. . ( not just cos of his union commitments. But His humour. His generosity. Which he doesn’t publicise. Others doing it instead. Not all plain sailing as there’s his warts and all. )

    My favourite expression he gave . ( cos I see myself as such sometimes ) People mistake Passion seeing it as aggression, during speech.

    Ricky Tomlinson owns a small cafe(or used to) near to L.I.P.A. I think they call it the Green room Cafe. my Daughter was trying for L.I.P.A. & we were in this cafe when we got a txt from Katie asking us to come & pick her up :( just as we were walking out in came Ricky, I was double gutted, mainly for my daughter but I would have loved an half n hour talking to Ricky about his acting & union days, alas it was not to be.

    Met him in there too. It's on Duke Street in the city centre- they have some great tribute acts on in there. Saw a fantastic Prince one a few years ago. Heard recently he's not got it anymore - think he owns one near me now just off the end of the M62. If you watch the series it's the last place they visit

    In the first episode he goes past a bar called The Casa - it's a dockers pub near the Philamonic. Last time I went in some bloke took a look at me and my mates and said it's a bit too left wing in here for you - told him I was from the Socialist Republic of South Yorkshire and my dad had been a striking miner - I asked him if it was left wing enough for me? He shook me by the hand and waved me in laughing ... :)
