Re: Theatre Review Section

All that red white and black make you feel at home? Saw Joanna Lumley/Robert Lindsay in The Lion in Winter when I was in London copule of weeks ago. They were both excellent but thought Trevor Nunn's directing was rubbish. Played it too much for laffs imo. The fillum adaptations had plenty of black ...

Re: Report - McLaughlin to be shown the door at UR

Inglis bread server for us and all. Giant of a man whose party piece was squashing the wasps that invariably swarmed round the jam tarts with his thumb nail. What about Paris buns for a bit of nostalgia? Proof positive of the delights of French cuisine if any were needed. Totally inedible without a ...

You can't blame Maggie the public-- put her in power-- as we did with Blair and Brown -- if you buy manure don't complain about the smell ! Moot point in this corner of the UK. Labour weren't even allowed to organize here when Bliar was elected. I do agree with the general points though. "The ...

Re: Report - McLaughlin to be shown the door at UR

Maggie did for free milk for school childer but had nowt to do wi the demise of milkman. Messrs Sainsbury/Tesco et al and various Petrol stations can claim most of the credit for that, selling 2 litres of cow juice for less than a quid. Milkmen do still exist but are an increasingly endangered speci...

:sleeping: will someone please wake me up when there is something factual to report on here? Anyway, it's simple really. McGlock's contract was only ever going to run until the end of May this year as the new player/coach Ulster have lined up could only be in situ from 1st June 2012, due to a "...

Re: David Humphreys

A lot of how dya knows in that statement Bagster! Joking aside, I think his ability to draw in the foreign stars of late is justification enough for any role he may have within the set up. Lets face the harsh reality that we would be nowhere without them. Precisely. Plenty of people in team sports ...

Heres hoping. Great opportunity for the Scots to turn em over on Saturday. Looking forward to that almost as much as the Ireland game.

Why 5th? Italy have them at home this year :lol:

Re: Report - McLaughlin to be shown the door at UR

There is a degree of insight and measured debate on this board that is not apparent to me among the casual fans out there. The timing of this and the nature of the press release has certainly created a potential poisoned chalice for BMcL's successor especially if we go on to greater things this seas...
