Shout out to Dallen Stanford for his work in MLR, perhaps not to everyone's tastes but I, for one, am fully behind his 100% OTT commitment to the bizarre and outlandish. "John Ryberg - the quadriceps with eyeballs!"

There were swathes of great Welsh commentators from the 90’s onwards. We’d get glimpses of them calling Welsh league and SWALEC cup games on Rugby Special. Passionate, erudite and knowledgeable- I bet there are still a bunch of excellent ones calling prem games.

Was just about to call BS on those honours, but then realised I was thinking of Isaac Ross…

I wasn't sure about this fat lying tub of orange lard, but now Truss is endorsing him people might need to take him more seriously Is she just on the con now? Her politics are awful but she was never a Trumpist type. Must be trying to get a good grip on the US talk tour money teat. An ex British PM...

Just imagine how gutted you must feel to have a quasi-believable claim to being a billionaire and STILL having a shitty life experience.

Serves the lying fat fvck right.

Willis close to man of the match I reckon. Even closer now. Willis made a good choice to join up with this outfit. His game has improved in every facet. I think he’s playing his hand perfectly: cash in on career while still relatively young, still get a crack at a WC or two with England later on.

I should apologise to everyone for going down this dumb side track, but I'm nothing if not easily diverted, so here goes one last try. My opinion of whether Hiroshima was ok or not is irrelevant. The only reason for my post is that I don't think they did it for the disgusting reason suggested by So...

I’m with Dai on this, we have high standards to maintain and we shouldn’t stop measuring players against them.

Where will it all end?

I believe it identifies as an aircraft flight path - and we should respect that.

Yeah, saw it for about 10 secs before it disappeared behind the clouds again. Pretty amazing though, very eerie. Got dark as hell for a few minutes, too.

World didn’t end, mind.

Super cloudy here in downtown Austin at the moment.

All you folks - including Dara O’Briainrahan-rahan- who’ve travelled in to see the eclipse:

You read the fvcking laws. They are called rules. When you don't know what you are talking about, they are called 'rules'. Wut? When you don't know what you are talking about they are called 'rules.' Ya see, it was a way of insinuating that message didn't know what he was talking about.

Asked him. He was a bit yeah, nah.

As a professional, tell him I said he was a know-nothing cvnt. Personal opinion is one thing, disputing greatness is quite another.

Don’t need to watch anything to answer this one: Knopfler IS A great, no doubt about it. Peerless songwriter and musician, makes an absolute mockery of all the wanky, guitar Olympian shredder stuff. Bollocks to all that, write me “Brothers in Arms” instead.

Delighted for Menoncello. Didn't see all of Italy's games so can't fully comment seems a worthy winner.

Probably more runners-up than anyone else though.

Well I just don’t know what to believe.

I’d rate him 2nd best lock, behind Sterling Mortlock.

You have to watch Tombstone. Don’t argue, just trust me. Then the Hateful Eight. Oh Tombstone is the town the stereotypical western dust hole is based on right? No, it was typical of the western frontier towns as trains saw the expansion of commerce and populace. It is better-known for being the sc...

Somehow - and I’m not about to start looking a gift horse in the mouth - they sell 6 large bottles of Stella for $10 over here, so my Monday evenings watching the sunset over downtown Austin are greatly enhanced in the chilled company of Mrs Artois.

3 years at just over $2.8 million. Not much to write home about for the NFL, but imagine how many fat French forwards you'd have to try and push off you to earn that much in rugby.

Good work, Louis!

I see that the Chiefs have posted LRZ's top speed in a match as being 2mph (24.something mph) faster than Tyreek Hill's fastest game speed. That is some interesting marketing right there. I bet Tyreek hits his top speed a lot quicker than LRZ does, though. A few points: TH made that run with helmet...

Still 21 Show me another 6N captain who went missing as often as he did. He might be 21, but he led his side to a wooden spoon. He's not immune to criticism because he's young. Ha. I am sure there are thousands of supposed Welsh rugby fans who are dying to stick the dagger into him on social media....

I only very rarely get through more than 4-6 units a week these days, and only have a drink every other week at the moment. I can't seem to slip into that middle-aged, wine drinking, phase: I just like a cold beer out on the balcony in the evening sun every now and again.

Post-match, freshly-showered, in clubhouse, boat-races with opposition are best pints. I should say, my two best pints - they wouldn't let me in the boat after they realized it took me about 12 seconds to down a pint...

I think she's cool, all power to her. Not really my thing but I can respect her skills - and in a way she's following in Stevie Nicks' and Madonna's steps by being a role model for women in the music industry.

We do a bunch of MJ tunes in our sets and whenever we roll out PYT there’s always an awkward glance or two.

Swift has a bunch of catchy pop tunes but she’s not come anywhere near the same impact that MJ had. For instance, I couldn’t name one of her albums. I might name 3 of her hits… Shake it Off Style Blank Space That’s all I got. Black an white, Billy jean, smooth criminal are the only mj songs I can n...
