The UAFC

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?

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!!

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. !

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.

Might start reading more these days now that the city of Bangor HAS A NEW BOOKSHOP!!! Waterstones open in Bloomfied Centre. Has the tide turned and books are becoming cool again?

They also opened a new one in Forestside last year.

New one on me and I 'm never out of the place

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

Hope they're better than the two fast food things we got here at the last development.
