ONCE again the time has come for the column to become Nomadic for a few days. Our annual pilgrimage to the spas of North Yorkshire is upon us. As is the custom on such occasions we will however be on the trail of any snippets or tidbits that we can report to our reader on our return.The bendouin tribe set to embark Enid Blyton like on this year's adventure includes the newly wed Philippa Hudson

FOLLOWING our revelations about the ICC permitting gender changed male cricketers to play in the Ladies' game. The column has received photographic evidence that the practice has already begun. Admittedly, we are not sure that practice is the correct word as there's no going back. However, we understand that a certain well known North East Cricketer dissatisfied with his position in the batting

OUR READER may remember that we once made much of a spate of ‘faux pas’ from Tynemouth’s prodigal son Barry Stewart. These became colloquially known as 'Stewartisms' and only came to halt when either 'Wor Baz' took to engaging his brain before opening his mouth or the column’s good friend and controller of the Tynemouth Media Machine Russell Perry found bigger fish to fry and moved on to Sky

OUR research assistants have recently pointed us in the direction of a thread on the NEPL Forum regarding the leading exponents of the dying art of sledging. Sledging according to the column's definition is 'exchanging words with opposition player(s) which can put him (them) off their usual game; it is an attempt to "psych out" an opponent'. We feel we should add that in our humble opinion it

RECENTLY we have noticed that there has been much speculation as to the whereabouts next season of the eponymously named A Worthy. Several of those who garrulously contribute to the NEPL forum have hinted that a move to the Muckles is on the cards. One daring soul even suggested that the ubiquitous Mr Worthy might be getting a bit long in the tooth for premier league cricket. The column however

WE HEAR that one of the North East's more colourful cricketing characters is about tie the knot. Whilst we use the term cricketing loosely it is clear that the impending nuptials of Newcastle lob bowler, Philip Hudson aka "The Heed" will break the hearts of several supermodels throughout the western world. Indeed our source has revealed that Gateshead refuse collection service has extra trucks on

SINCE there has been much weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth regarding the Lord Lucan like disappearance of your favourite column we've relocated to a new home. Part of the logic behind this move was based on the assumption that wherever we had access to an Internet connection we could pass on the pearls of our wisdom and also and more importantly any snippets we picked up on our travels.By
