Re: What are you reading?
Not the most appropriate thread perhaps but no point starting a new one...
Anyone signed up for RugbyPass? https://www.rugbypass.com/join/ At a tenner a year, seems worth a read, is it?

Re: What are you reading?
Just finished Sean O'Brien's autobiography (well, listened to the audiobook, from the library, via Libby. Give it a try) and it wasn't the worst one I've read. Like the others, it simply becomes a list of his most interesting matches and some extra comments (I would have liked a lot more). He has hardly a bad word to say about anybody so I don't feel I know anybody any better than I did before, apart from Sean himself, of course. Clearly a bloke's bloke and a man who loves his home turf. Did he have to use f*** so often? If anybody knows why it's called 'Fuel' I'd love to know.
Next up is the hardback edition of Rory Best's bio.

Bill Bryson History of the English language. Very entertaining ( his Books always are) and educational. Thought I would catch it before English is banned by the Shinners!!
Re: What are you reading?
Proper title is " The Mother tongue "...........but undoubtedly that is probably offensive to some?
This political correctness is becoming a right pain in the a**e!

So good I read it twice. !
Re: What are you reading?
Maybe I’m a bit late to the party, but I’ve just finished The Grudge by Tom English on the train back to Paris.
It’s about the 1990 Calcutta Cup/Grand Slam decider.
Truly a great read.
Coincidentally, BT Sport have made it into a documentary airing this Friday night.

Volunteer at an animal sanctuary; it will fill you with joy , despair, but most of all love, unconditional love of the animals.

I see the best coffee is no longer on a different level. Curious to see what the new eating houses will be.
