There were a few about. Ours was a good lad back in the sixties. If you heard his Velocette LE coming you stopped what you were up to though. A particular well-known Leicester Tigers back row was a nasty fucker in the eighties. Another mate of mine, who had just signed up to be 'Special'...

I recall an apprentice (Herbert's Edgwick) friend of mine talking about him back then in the early seventies. Geoff was the local copper in Holbeach , and my mate lived in the next village, Pinchbeck. He seemed to rate him as a decent, fair, PC - which probably means he'd normally only clout you...

Just finished Rankin's Heart full of Headstones - finishing with Rebus being incarcerated. Going to have to buy the next (final?) one now - at full price no doubt!

Ron Ely - Tarzan. Apparently passed last month, but news seems to have only just made it out of the jungle.

It was. Winning ugly again - but it was a win at a horrible ground where we and several other 'better' sides have failed over the last couple of seasons. And... Newcastle only bloody won one!

Correct. It's a (bad) joke. If promoted, they'd get roughly half of the amount the current sides get - and the relegated side would get similar, ensuring that the two swap leagues at the end of that season. Utter bollocks of a game (and that's coming from someone who's followed it for well over...

Newcastle losing 25 (30? 35? eventually?) on the bounce isn't exactly TV box office though.

Because they love their cosy ten-team cartel. Corrupt bunch of bastards. Jon's thinly-veiled threat to move to 'another' league sounds more and more appealing.

It says something when one is disappointed with a 36-19, 5-0 win away! They should've been away and clear at half-time but for several inexcusable errors. However, I'll take a 100 percent start, and the only side in the league that can say that. Ealing will be nervous yet again.

The other flats ya turnip 🤣😉

Frank Fritz (American Pickers).

It's certainly a big improvement on previous efforts. Hope they keep it up.

They were, but to be fair, crowds are often quite low early doors, and build as the season goes on. Keep up this level of performance, keeping Ealing honest, and who knows how high the average will go.

It was a cracker. Dominated for 80 minutes even when down to 14 men. Bedford were lucky to get a consolation.

Another 45 points win today (45-7 this time, over Bedford who were crowing over their big win last weekend) to go top of the Championship. Ealing schmealing 😉

He has a sight more right to than that turd Dallaglio. At least he had the sense to walk away from Wasps instead of pretending it was going to pull through, prolonging the agony and piling up further debt/screwing suppliers.

You tell me. It stinks to high heaven.

Haven't lost there for over three seasons now. Three wins out of last four. I think they're fit enough tbh. They are just losing shape when the replacements get thrown on. I'd be happy with smaller (matchday) squads/fewer non-injury changes but the ruling body decrees different. C'est la vie.

Cov's opening game of the season ended in a 45-19 win, with four tries coming from the forwards and two from the backs - all converted by outside half Liam Richman (another Aussie diamond?) who was fit, as hoped for. He added a pen to give himself a nice total of 15 points. Home side London...
