When was the last time we didn't have a fantastic preseason?

Stand corrected! Thanks Neil they still did it for a bag of gold :thumleft: In 1972 Scotland and Wales refused to travel to Dublin for their matches. England had no problem coming the following year. English Rugby has always been a better friend to us. "the following year" is not insignif...

Hopefully. Probably fix the ticket office up, looking a bit tired.

Been a long time since we've needed "corners"

Just me or have we some big young lumps? McNabney, Brigg, McKillop, Irvine. Of course it takes more that size, but a big rig to work with certainly helps. I read an article saying we rank 5th out of all URC sides for weight/height. Hopefully not all blubber but prime ribeye fast twitch muscle [emoj...

Sexton looked a bit out of sorts for a good while before he went off

Barely visible on the pitch yesterday. If you didn't already know you couldn't tell who the sponsor was at a glance

Yep. Early Doors is possibyt better than the Royle Family even though it never got the same plaudits.

Brilliant writing and performances.

To the regiment!

Great stuff. Saw a couple of ospreys at an otherwise dreadful Miami tourist trap this year. Both saved and made the day. Saw loads of them on Puget Sound in Seattle. They're called Seahawks there hence the name of the NFL franchise. In Wales they're known as Shitehawks. Didn’t see the Seahawks but ...

Only ever seen a jay once before back in England.

They're common enough here. They are the shyest of the crows though.

The very best of Gerry Anderson all this week @ 10:30. Even better 10 years on. Never equalled

Wrong thread (fat fingers)

UDA godfather Jackie McDonald is said to be ragin' about the trouble. According to the BelTel he has "read the riot act" (you have to laugh!) to those involved, not because of any sense of compassion for the ethnic minorities, but because it might affect future funding for leylist groups! ...

Poots' interview from a couple of weeks ago about attracting immigrants to Unionism aged well

Easy night for the coppers tonight. All the right wing lot were watching Madness. Managed to avoid them until now. They saved the best four until the end of (pre encore) set.
