You've probably heard, this tyke, but just in case:

We actually heard it live, while driving back home from the south! I nearly had to pull off the road.

Thanks Chrise - it was brilliantly done by Aggers. I tend to change channel when GB starts banging on about his Mum and a stick of rhubarb - many seem to like him though!

It was generally his gran with the rhubarb, as I recall!

They know a lot about rhubarb in Fitzwilliam - it`s located in the `rhubarb triangle` - the Yorkshire version of the Bermuda one!

Yes, fine thanks but dont know if I am coming or going, whether walking forwards or backwards.

Everton going very well and it is nice to see only 2 of the so-called big 6 in the top 9. Hoping to see a lot of cricket next summer. Lancs have carried forward international tickets to next season, so wont have to re-apply.

I have given away most of my cricket books to Charity shops recently - kept one Wisden and a few favourites.

Hope you are well - it does not sound too good in Yorks.

Jigjag

Looks as though it`s `lockdown` again so we can enjoy some sort of a Christmas.

Hope Everton keep it going - I think `momentum` might help - it`s what the Labour Party has too much of ... speaking of parties ...

Grunger

Long time no hear! Hope you`re keeping well ... I`ve taken the liberty of borrowing your `pies` for my entry in the Weekend Peer Review!

It was interesting to read in the Times and Mail that Hallowe'en should have an apostrophe. I haven't seen one in it for years, but I agree it should.

I have tried to put off trick-or-treaters this year, so no carved pumpkins outside, but plenty of soup made with them. I will be playing duck apple and bob apple though, between the rugby.

I have not heard from Grunger from ages, but I am sure she will be thrilled at your pie entry.

Jigjag and Grunger, and any other interested parties. Here's a clue, from this week's Spectator puzzle, that might resonate with you.

22 D. Fit topless clothing for female seeking love (8).

Jigjag,

Like you, I have got used to seeing Halloween without its apostrophe - and I think I now prefer it!

Grunger,

I haven't seen you around much lately, but I now know why. All my local supermarkets have shelves and shelves of mince pies - deep-filled, all butter, iced, mini, vegan.... It's good to see how busy you have been, pies have perhaps taken over your life?

No witches se'en on Hallowe'en
So quiet e'en in Aberde'en

I think Grunger was trying to get a dancing job abroad, or she might be in the "Strictly" bio-secure bubble, whatever that is. But you are probably right, baking all those pies has kept her busy.

i'm watching the italy england women's rugby. why do people have no trouble pronouncing "pizza" but can't cope with "azzuri"?
