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.

Back in the day when I used to intermittently watch Harrogate play I would suffer 80 mins of, 'Come on the "Gate"'

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.

I think you may be right. The French are weak; the only true enemy out there is what lies in the players' minds.Mellsblue wrote:I have a good feeling about this. I fancy us for an easy and stylish win.

On second thoughts, we may be fucked.

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.

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.
