Yorkshire Tea Party: December 2006
http://yorkshireteaparty.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
The tale of one Yorkshireman's attempt to survive in the colonies. Tuesday, December 19, 2006. First Ade, then Frisco, then home, then back. I must apologise for the lack of words recently - as I shall attempt to explain there is good reason for this - I have been busier than a bee in honey season. So, after a Yorkshire Tea Break from scribbling inane ramblings I'm afraid I'm back in story-telling mode. Are you sitting comfortably? And with that I promise, dear Tea Partyers, not to disappear again.

Yorkshire Tea Party: January 2007
http://yorkshireteaparty.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
The tale of one Yorkshireman's attempt to survive in the colonies. Wednesday, January 31, 2007. Call it cosmic balance, call it karma, or call it Sod's Law. Whatever the nomenclature, this last week has been characterised by two events, one Good and one Bad. Do you want the Good news first, or the Bad? I'll start with the Bad. This was, of course, the arrival of Em. Ha ha, only joking, this was the Good. Or was it? How New Man am I, eh? 4 Adverts on TV: Britons, think twice before you knock the BBC. ...

Yorkshire Tea Party: August 2006

The tale of one Yorkshireman's attempt to survive in the colonies. Thursday, August 31, 2006. Well, it was very strange to be waving goodbye to loved-ones I knew I wouldn't be seeing again for a good few months, and it was hard to join the security queue without a lump in the throat. Make them scream solidly for SIX AND A HALF HOURS! Like inform them that if they don't shut their over-active traps they're going to be put out of the window, that sort of thing. I'm sure I'll make a great parent one day.

The tale of one Yorkshireman's attempt to survive in the colonies. Saturday, October 28, 2006. And turned around again. Then it was the Terriers' turn. All the lights suddenly turned off and music started blaring out. The announcer was then back. "Eighty seven times world champions, the discoverers of cold fusion, the key to solving world poverty, and the only people who'll dare to drink a pint in this damn town. it's the BU Terriers!

The tale of one Yorkshireman's attempt to survive in the colonies. Friday, June 08, 2007. I've got a new Boston Red Sox baseball cap. Posted by The Yorkshireman in Question @ 11:16 pm. Thursday, June 07, 2007. Are you smarter than a fifth grader? Fifth graders are 10-11 years old, otherwise know as first years in my embarrassingly out-of-date nomenclature. There's a strangely addictive TV show on Fox at the moment called, as the name of this post suggests, Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? And then cl...

Yorkshire Tea Party: November 2006
http://yorkshireteaparty.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
The tale of one Yorkshireman's attempt to survive in the colonies. Saturday, November 25, 2006. Black Friday also, apparently, marks the start of the "Holiday Season" (Christmas to you and me). I went in a hardware shop today, November 25th, and they were playing Christmas music, and the Father Christmas adverts have started appearing on TV. But it doesn't make sense because in some places the pumpkins are still out! Argh, I'm suffering from Season Confusion! Saturday, November 18, 2006. Iowa: The Corn S...

Yorkshire Tea Party: February 2007
http://yorkshireteaparty.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
The tale of one Yorkshireman's attempt to survive in the colonies. Sunday, February 18, 2007. In case you didn't notice, it snowed. Contemporary culture, what, ya? We found seats at the back of the stand and peered over the heavily tattooed and pierced throng to the action below. The, and I use the term loosely, sport involves two teams of five women who skate anti-clockwise around the track. Not only was it V-day but it coincided with the season's first Nor'easter! You see what I'm ranting at? People at...

Yorkshire Tea Party: July 2007

The tale of one Yorkshireman's attempt to survive in the colonies. Saturday, July 14, 2007. I shouted, and turned to Em "Quick, get some more coins" I hissed, like it was her fault that I had hideously crap aim, "I blinking well missed! And we also went for a round of golf. Well, when I say "round" I meant two holes. In an hour and a half. I guess that's what you get when you go for a round with a bunch of girls. All in all it was a pretty damn fine conference, and in two days was over far too quickly.
