Zanussi/Electrolux are good. Just be careful of the performance of it. Loads of manufacturers trying to get A+ efficiency ratings are "depowering" their dishwashers so much it can take 4 hours to do a wash. The Eco setting certainly, usually more than 3 hrs. If I have to wait more than 90-100 mins f...

No, there's the buffoonish romantic lead and the world-weary authority figure as well.

Here's his quote Chuckles Speaking to GQ, the 25-year-old said: 'There are no black people on Game of Thrones. You don’t see one black person in Lord of the Rings. I ain’t paying money to always see one type of person on-screen!' He's a race hustler looking to cause division with ignorant comments....

Just watched a couple of shows. Matt is a natural, but the cream jacket has to go! Really.

Very interesting, even for someone outside of the US.

Sansa is going to f u ck everything for everyone, isn't she? Disagree. I think she is going to be important for Jon. She predicted what was gonna happen at the battle of the bastards. She clearly supports Jon. I like what she's become. IMO, Sansa is going to overrule Jon and push him aside over som...

Walter Freya died last series. The poisoning was clumsily hinted at as the wine was served. Nothing, nothing as dramatic or unexpected as the Red Wedding massacre.

Meh. Even if you need a ton of recap and exposition in E01, you can still have some crackling dialogue. There was virtually none. Uncle Borgen Fella had a line or two but outside of that the GOT script, the dry callous wit, was absent. The Broadbent scene had the makings of being class but it fizzle...

Kicking aside, there's nothing special about his game anymore. He's a solid starting FB at T14/AP/Pro12 level but won't have any upside and will be expensive to sign. Also won't be available in intnl windows.

Kings or Cheetahs presumably don't have the moolah.

In other news, 37-year old Regan King played on the wing for Southern in Mid Canterbury club rugby this weekend. He of Waikato, Llanelli, Clermont and Stade Francais fame. Nice.

One of my favourite all time players. Great to hear. Guy is 100% class.

Are you sure on Greig Laidlaw? Just wanted to check hah ah come on, same criticism as Morgan Parra, a "slow poke", but he's been a very good captain for Scotland during their best years in the modern era. He's not the quickest, but he manages well, is an excellent goal kicker, a good tempo controll...

Question on Quickstep. If they're one of the bigger budget teams, how is it that Kittel is winning sprint stages with no lead-out help and Martin is having to contend for GC on his tod too? WTF are the rest of the team doing? They've lost two of the lead-outs, and I think Kittel said he prefers to ...

jezzer

Yeah exactly. I don't think you learn resilience from being thrashed every week. You just lose interest. :thumbup: Couldn't agree more. And parents, who ultimately decide what activities their children do, very quickly lose interest. Instead of picking up the ball and walking off with their kids, m...

How about parents teach their children how to deal with defeat and failure? In my experience it's almost always the parents who need to learn how to deal with defeat and failure. They're the ones who start complaining when their kids are getting thrashed, not the kids themselves. Absolutely. My kid...

Poite is much maligned. Very good ref. Managed the Canes game very well. While the crowd weren't happy with some of his decisions, he was right almost the entire game. Always going to be misses and errors by refs, but Poite has the right balance of applying the laws and letting the game flow. Usually.

I believe SOB goes in to dislodge the ball. HE isn't aiming for Naholo's head but Naholo gets driven forward as Sean swings and he hits him. So there's no great intent there at all. That said, he should get a ban because: 1) you can't sanction only intent, you have to sanction outcome 2) Naholo head...

I thought SBWs was a very cynical piece of thuggery and cowardice, which is a shame because I think he's a great. I don't think it was cynical nor that he is a great. It is a legacy of time spent in a code where that is not uncommon and I doubt he gave it enough thought to foster any cynical intent...

Itoje gave away the same number of penalties as SOB, who was clearly a liability etc etc SOB is a number 7 though .... Not a player in the row . Right - he doesn't compete at lineouts or mauls ;) Itoje gets involved at the breakdown as much as any flanker, it's part of his game. I watched the game ...

jezzer

Happy to say I got the SOB call wrong - he was amazing today. Thought he or George were probably MOTM. Tactically we were screwing it up for 20 mins when up a man. Once we stopped handing it back and actually used our man advantage we looked very sharp. The number of cheap shot hits is def on the ri...

jezzer

Yup. Need something like the Aussies produced in the 2003 rwc SF. They just waded into the Kiwis and blew them out of the game.

To be dominated at the breakdown and still win is virtually impossible at this level.

jezzer

What the Lions need are players that can put in dominant tackles and blitz the breakdown to slow down the speed of New Zealand ball. I am pleased that Itoje is starting as he is one player that can really deliver on this front. What NZ always bring in big tests is intensity. They just wade into the...

Shitting truth down on the heads of the less informed.

Tipuric should be starting with Stander and Toby.

Totally fücked up management of the squad by Gats has tied his hands for this test. He should be bringing in a fresh Tipuric, Stander, Henderson and Seymour into the 23, but he flogged them all making sure he didn't lose another meaningless midweek game. He has no 12 in the entire squad of any quali...

There is no denying that the team selected, for all their potential shortfall in abilities compared to players whom we may have wished to see selected ahead of them, will go out there on Saturday with the sheer-bloodied mindedness of trying to beat the All Brands.
