Moved back to y childhood home and back watching my childhood club which is Luctonians in National 2 West. 1st XV currently 3rd in the league with a promotion to National 1 a possibility. But it is the 2nd XV who deserve the plaudits. They have gone 51 league games unbeaten, quite a record. Am amazi...

Not new, but new to me: Loudermilk on Netflix. Comedy drama centred on an AA group and it's leader. Just binged the first season (boom-boom) and looking forward to more. Dry humour. Suits the dark subject matter. Ironically. Actor whose name I can never remember is the lead. Played another boozehou...

It's hard to pick a team of players playing completely out of position but very easy to find locks playing in the backrow or vice versa, halves moving to the other position, centres moving in or out etc. May have made this up or got it slightly wrong but pretty sure Scotland started a game in 80's ...

Alan Bateman in the centre. Dont think you will ever find anyone with a bad word for him. Top bloke. Was the speaker (when retired) at Heol Y Cyw dinner and then ended playing for them for a few years. Met him down in St Davids when we were on tour and was great company.

There are 3 sons of former Welsh internationals on the bench in the form of Teddy Williams, Max Llewellyn and Cai Evans. Nepotism gone mad!

Wearing gloves to mini rugby in about 81/82. It was January, the pitch was frozen but still pointed out to me that you don't wear gloves! School U15s training on Thursday before game always had a bit of a game to finish off and our fly half always liked handing off people. I hated being handed off a...

I like that.

Surely leinster fans would be that final where they were well down at ht. Northampton? That would have been immense. The crowing oppo fans faces slowly falling etc, very good game.

Any Cardiff and District game vs Llanrumney Legion (now disbanded) was good for a scrap. Came up from a ruck to see their No8 filling in our flanker (who got filled a lot tbh). Grabbed their 8 by the scruff of his shirt and told him to get off. He tells me to f**k off and a very tense Mexican stand ...

29 years not long enough and the father should have more too. Its his job to protect his child.

The bit I found so upsetting was how aware the poor child was "Nobody loves me" "Nobody is going to feed me"

Sad news https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/58330110 This is really sad. A great player and a top bloke. Knew him a little bit, proper old school. He said the thing he missed most about rugby was in the changing rooms after having a can of beer and a fag. Thoughts with his wife and 4 boys. RIP

If this was the 70's the correct answer would be John Inman but we have all moved on since then.

Raspberry is the best from the back garden. Also any fruit you can make a good sorbet from Mango, Raspberry, Lemon and Blackcurrant. Blackcurrant is awesome except when raw

Fudge me. Matt Damon was way too small to be Francois Pineanar but who the else could have done it.?
