I'll have some of that, breakfast ont patio, suns out n dogs chasing squirrels. Tops. It doesn't get any better.

Eh lad? t'profile says [i]Aberdyfi[/i]. Is thee not t'up yonda?

Tramp: something you drive up to get int multistorey.

Thanks for reminding me, Hora. I think I can feel a celebration coming on. 8)

Aye, I think I'll celebrate tonight 8)

T'uther week when there was the documentary on Huddersfield I was welling up, weird. I just felt soo proud. Odd that, when you are in Hudds, you just feel normal/friendly folk etc (if you avoid the estates) and centre then when you are away you feel homesick.

an electric fan, that a right bloody waste of money that is, just open a winda

A Yorkshirewoman walked into a Police Station and the desk Sergeant said "Can I elp you?"

"Yes" she said, "A fella’s just dragged me int'bushes and had his way wi’ mee.

"Can you describe 'im?” Asked the Sergeant

"Yes, he wa’ wearin' white shoes, long white trousers, a white shirt and he had these two reet big pads from 'is feet up to and ower his knees, one on each leg".

"Sounds t'me like he wor a cricketer, most probably a batsman", said the Sergeant.

"Eye, I reckon", said the lady, "He were likely an Australian Cricketer".

"That's very observant", said the Sergeant, "You worked that aat from his accent?"

"No", she replied. "I worked it aat ‘cause he weren't in for very long".

Updated my Profile for you 😀

You know when we had that heat wave the other week, 30C odd.. Well the first thing I did was call the farm ( Harrogate ) to see if they'd all melted. 😆

I can count on one hand the amount of times the sun has shone bright up there ( when I've been there )

Ave a reet propers beer like fu me 😆 a good solid pint of Black Sheep.

second most important date o' t'year, after Lancashire Day ......

Finally got my Yorskshire visa through, and got all the jabs etc - so to celebrate Yorkshire Day I will be moving there from t'other side of the Pennines on Monday. I'm a traitor I know.

a quote from my past that gives me a dust in the eye moment.

When the young lions roar upon endeavour field, the whole of yorkshire shall be proud.

Happy Yorkshire Day!

From a tyke exiled in sunny Bristol

So it's hackneyed jingoistic regional stereotype day for tightfisted northerners with a historical superiority complex over their neighbours?
How do you celebrate that? Stand around in a circle drinking mediocre beer and slapping each other on the back?
Well done you.

Lancashire Day

Never heard of it.

How do you celebrate that?

I'm giving away tasty food!

Why bother with tasty? If its free a yorkshireman will take it.
They would skin a turd for a shilling.

Yep, and you're not invited. 😀

MrSmith, don't worry, it's not your fault you weren't born in God's Own County so we don't hold it against you, I blame the parents 😆

Pftttt get over thee sen Mr Smith, nowt wrong with a bit of a regional pride.

Gutted about that 😥

Am flying the flag for Yorkshire on the wrong side of the Pennines today. Off to Huddersfield tomorrow though 😀

MrSmith, I bet you're a hoot down t'pub.

have they started fracking the place yet?

Over my dead Whippet!

Don't be dissing MrSmith, he's on first name terms with his local wine merchant and has many pairs of expensive handmade shoes. 😆

MrSmith, I bet you're a hoot down t'pub.

Debatable but at least I'll stick my hand in my pocket for a round of frothy beer. 🙄

South Yorkshire is so full of holes if they shove compressed gas into it, the whole county will whistle like a church organ.

Got plenty of time for this fella, though he's just dismissed Yorkshire day on test match special.

I'd boycott him then, ant ways not from Gods County, North Yorkshire 🙂

I love living being a yorkshireman and being born and bred here.
I resent being called tightfisted as we're a very generous and friendly tribe of people up here, we just happen to know the value of a pound.
Maybe if a few of them red-brace wearing soft southern 'city' nancy boys had known the value of a pound our economy might not be being led up the pooper by them chinless trust-funded oxbridge educated idiots running the government

pies, whippets, flat caps, moorland, pint of landlord, etc. etc.

I partly agree with Mr Smith, despite being a born and bred yorkshire person, the only point to pick up on is the beer, I'd have nothing to call on the quality and range of beer north vs south from recent experience...

And I am typing this from within a few '00 meters of the centre of the yorkshire universe Ilkla Moor and I am slightly embaraced to say that I think there is a brass band playing the song in the high street. 😉

Too too true, should never have left

ey up!
I've lowered the Japanese flag I was flying this morning in celebration of the tasty kebab I had at 1am this morning and hoisted my North Riding flag. Beef and Yorkshires for tea!

chinless trust-funded oxbridge educated idiots running the government

The number of those stereotypes that exist are probably equal in number to those flat-cap wearing whippet owning pigeon fancying dyed in the wool Yorkshiremen, and just as insular.
At least the tykes are generally harmless being all thumbs in braces talk and no action, unfortunately we all pay the price for allowing the chinless wonders to run the country.

I once knew a Yorkshireman who dropped 50p. It hit him on the back of the head.

Mind you, they reckon that a Yorkshireman's just a Scotsman with all the generosity removed...

What hora/chrisa87 said. The sportsman is a cracking pub, as is the rat and ratchet...

Always feel proud when I see the train station too. A truly majestic building.

they reckon that a Yorkshireman's just a Scotsman with all the generosity removed

Possibly true in my case..

Theres a common theme that I go to the pub with just a fiver, never do rounds (can't afford!) or give money to a charity.

I do however give alot of my time to people, will always offer if someone wants/needs help, will always intervene if someone is in trouble and I regularly give blood etc.

Try getting a pound out of me thought is like wringing blood out of a stone.

8)

Does the rat and ratchet still do the pub quizzes where it shows who has the phd in obscure medieval history(or insert any other very obscure subject)?

rat and ratchet? Wow that looks a tidy place. Never been there. I'll have to pop in. Is there any decent India takeaways around there?

Looking at the Joe Cornish calendar on my office wall - Cleveland Hills from Kildale Moor, and hearing about nice pubs and good beer is making me wish I was back in the old country today.

For those fortunate to be in God's Own County - have a decidedly nice Yorkshire Day.

Well briefly we got rid to North Lincolnshire it came back. On T'plus side it does run a good ferry service to the continent

Not sure about the quality of the takeaway food out that way, but your only a short stumble from the town centre, and the chilli lounge (always great) or Balooshi (when its good its ace, when it's not its average)

Not sure on the quizzes, been a while since Ive been.

Till - something to ride up

Bloody spell checker is anti Yorkshire - what's wrong with something (s.u.m.m.a.t) 🙁

Kingston upon Hull (yes really) isn't that bad and as mentioned the ferry is pretty good..... Beverley is where it's at though, great place! 🙂

Definitely think we get good beer here too.

Happy Yorkshire Day!

Yorkshire man with piles goes in the local shop, " got any arse cream?". Shop owner replies " magnum or Cornetto, love?".

Copper wire were invented in Yarkshire, tha knows.

Don't show pictures of the Sportsman to outsiders,they're not allowed in our heaven.

Police in Yorkshire are warning of a new teen drugs craze where ravers are injecting liquid Ecstacy directly into their mouths.

It's known as "E by gum."
