Re: Team v France
There was a bit of a local scandal about a year ago when some vandals attacked the lock between the Avon and Severn in Tewkesbury.
They called it Water-gate-gate.
They called it Water-gate-gate.
Please note, the above is pure bullshit.

Re: Team v France
Considering the time difference, I'm loving this later kick-off time. I think we'll win well.

Well nuts to you. I'm in Finland and have to get up at 5 tomorrow, so I think it's a crap kick off.Parsifal wrote:Considering the time difference, I'm loving this later kick-off time. I think we'll win well.

I had a dream that we lost. The dream also involved a cat having a fit in a department store.

On second thoughts, we may be fucked.

Really liked his comments- pretty sharp and incisive. Pretty much the opposite of how he played!Epaminondas Pules wrote:Banquo wrote:Tindall's good btw

Its hard to warm to him if you have ever had the misfortune to be in the same room as him in Bath........when he had a few. I am sure he remembers me fondly.

He came across well in commentary in fairness. Perhaps marrying a minger has made him grow up.Banquo wrote:Fair dinkum, and I'm not claiming warmth, he just talked sense....unlike my encounter with Jeff Probyn- now there was a tool when in drink.skidger wrote:Its hard to warm to him if you have ever had the misfortune to be in the same room as him in Bath........when he had a few.

Re: Team v France
Fair enough. But I thought his comments no more than commonsense - the kind of bleedin' obvious thing that most of us posters here see for ourselves when watching a game. Not particularly insightful if you are a semi-knowledgeable rugby fan to begin with. I'd put him in the same categorey as Dallaglio - dull, with a grating delivery that is rather boring to listen to. But then - I'd say the same thing about Jonathan Davies, Scot Hastings, Dewi Morris, Andy Nichol and several others.Banquo wrote:Really liked his comments- pretty sharp and incisive.
