We are, after all, at the centennial of the Olmstead park plan.
He has been a loyal servant of this football club over a long period of time and played a key role in one of our most successful eras. On behalf of our staff, players, members and supporters I would like to thank him for all he has given this club. He is a life member and as such knows full well he is always welcome around the club.
Down in New Zealand now, there will be a lot of celebrating,
He is still on loan for another week and we will look to get something sorted out around then.
I think it promises to be a good Yorkshire derby. But we are definitely confident of winning.
He is one of a number of general inquiries I have made to clubs. It's nothing more than that.
Buster Keaton's 'The General,' from 1927, I think is still one of the great films of all time.

Over 55% of all shots using animals in 'The Hobbit' are in fact computer generated; this includes horses, ponies, rabbits, hedgehogs, birds, deer, elk, mice, wild boars and wolves.
To some degree, I was very dubious of the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' idea - taking a theme park ride and turning into a film - even though they seemed to end up being quite fun films.
The only thing about 3-D is the dullness of the image.
