The all new Saturday afternoon to stop the moaning oldies thread...

[Just One More]

Off to the rugby at 1130hr's, me and 25,000 jehovahs will be invading Twickenham. I'll be the one in the rugby shirt, they'll be the sharp suited ones. Quins have a good chance of ending bottom of the table this weekend  , maybe the coach, players and fans should head across the road first and say a prayer

14th August Catalan?  Sorry just trying to find somewhere for my next trip. We could take the VP coach/minibus if it exists... lke?  (The horse can only cope will small numbers.)

Will France let you back in, I thought you'd done a runner to Mallorca after the misunderstanding about cost when tarmacing the mayor's driveway

Today, I shall mostly be watching Leeds play Warrington in the Challenge Cup final. It should appeal to Darwin, 34 Northeners knocking crap out of each other live on TV

I have to be honest JOM ~ The longer Rugby League goes on the more like Professional Wrestling it gets. Union ~ that's the game for real men.

Nobody ever gets hurt in League ~ No real scrums, no hard tackles. Just tap the man and he rolls over. They have legislated the fight out of it.

It's a debate that has gone on for many years by fans of both codes Snoopy and one that will go on for ever it seems.

I see them as two different games, and appreciate the different qualities in both. I prefer an uncontested scrum to two minutes of resetting the scrum each time it collapses, and seeing quick movement of the playersand ball all the time, but I also appreciate the greater power of the RU players

For gawd sake turn the volume off

But it's become a summer game

What about the mud?

[Just One More]

  As somebody that has watched the game from seven years old I would still prefer that it wasn't a summer game. Summer brings harder and faster pitches and a far quicker game, but there's no better sight than somebody diving for the line 6 yards out and sliding over with a plume of water spreading before him

Fortunately, summer rugby starts in February and continues to mid-October, so there's still a few "mud and thunder games" on show each season

You seem to see me as some reincarnation of Auberon Waugh.

I have nothing whatsoever against rude, sponging, unemployable, wife-beating Northern monkeys.

Whatever gave you that idea?

Today, I shall mostly be cleaning gutters and removing lots of garden rubbish

[Just One More]

Gutters done. I'm hot and sweaty, I'm soaked from the water from the hose blowing back on me due to the wind, and working close to the vent on the foul waste pipe was something I didn't anticipate. It was not the smell of the countryside

You sure you weren't practising Freckles

I most certainly wasn't, and strange as it may seem, I have no desire too
