That blog is an interesting read. I think it's a US volunteer. One thing I can't make out is that he mentions Vietnam in a few posts. If he's served in Vietnam he'd have to be in his 70s by now!

And now, please put your hands together for Liz, who's going to treat us all to Nick Cave's pop-tastic tune, "Well of Misery".

Yawn. You're either completely dense and incapable of reading, or you're a troll. Probably both. On your way now mate, no one is rising to it any more.

To use a technical term, I think they're getting their shit together! Rightly so too; regardless of opinions about Wasps, the bondholders have been treated poorly by the club. The trustee also seems remarkably casual about supporting their best interests, as will any Administrator paid for by...

Can we still be called 'the sick man of Europe', or has Brexit done for that too?

It's quite possibly both, SBT, but the amount of influence that shady money has on the Tory party, and how it can be seen to benefit both those making the policies and those donating to the party, should point you towards genuine corruption as a motive too. Ignoring that possibility in the face...

Except that there's reasonable grounds for suspicion that the people in charge of the country and the economy really are corrupt as well as incompetent. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/sep/26/fca-urged-investigate-tory-allies-short-pound-insider-info-budget And it's been going on for...

No googling, honest, but I'm going for Trading Places? Anyway, what are you doing on here, shouldn't you be trading derivatives or setting up an export business overnight to the US to take advantage of Cokehead Kwasi's Cunning Plan. So many plodders in this country; teachers, and nurses, and...

Rather unfortunate timing if it's not related. Derek's probably round there with a van right now, getting it all down to his lock-up before the administrator arrives. 😄

Yeah, with hindsight maxing out my credit card on bottles of Cristal down the casino on Saturday night probably wasn't a good move... Saying that, with this government we'll probably all be bust by the end of the month anyway. Smoke 'em if you got 'em, seems to be the official cabinet line. 😁

You might get the benefit of picking up clubs on the cheap, but given there's likely to be an enormous squeeze on discretionary spending for a large part of the UK population, getting people through the door is going to be even harder, imho...

I don't mind the beads, but I do wish they could make the transformer a bit smaller. 😄

I'd settle for slow and ponderous, we're sodding glacial! Watching us play from the back is (with no disrespect to to the game) like watching chess. More accurately perhaps, it's like watching me play chess, where after 15 minutes of concentrating intensely on the seeming disasters...

Mate, rugby is far from perfect, but I also know that plenty of football fans who have no interest in rugby, also despair at the endless shithousing that's crept into the game. Disregarding rugby completely, I genuinely can't think of another sport like football where abusing the officials...

This kind of thing, I don't get. If you don't like the sport, fair enough, but this simply isn't true. I went to a school, and definitely not a posh one, where we played football and rugby. Funnily enough a lot of the lads who were good at rugby were good at football too (and tennis and hockey...

You've had plenty of reasons given on here mate, and from a good few people, you've just chosen to ignore them. So it's pointless engaging with you on this I'm afraid, you've obviously made your mind up. You might as well just crack on and talk about something else or I'm afraid it looks a...

My advice to Putin is to avoid staring out at the view for a while, unless he's in a bungalow.

It's been a while since I built hardware, but back in those days Ballicom did good value kit & components. Based in Cov & still going fwiw... https://www.ballicom.co.uk/

I'm pretty sure he's a Tory mate. It may have been said in jest, but in reality it's what they are.

As with much of the RFU, the ground thing is a complete con and a completely arbitrary way of restricting access to the closed shop that is the top division. Rugby attendances vary hugely, as long as the ground is safe for supporters and can hold a few thousand, what does it matter? More...
