I’d love to do this, how hard in the knees. Was the accommodation ok, I’ve a CPAP so need relative comfort. I'm the religious type and have always wanted to do the trail. Being diagnosed with sleep apnia last year pretty much put the brakes on this for me. From what friends tell me who have done th...

We watched a movie called The way which had the actors walking the Camino trail. Quite a good movie actually. This is first time we heard about the Camino way. Anyway we went to Northern Spain (stayed in Gijón but saw Oviedo, Lucano, Aviles, Cudillero, Luarca) and when we were in some of the towns,...

I’d love to do this, how hard in the knees. Was the accommodation ok, I’ve a CPAP so need relative comfort. We were walking about 15 miles a day average (max 19 miles), staying in reasonable 2 star hotels. Most pilgrims stay in auberges/hostels which are just dormitories that you can't pre-book. Th...

Have to say I haven't felt this upbeat about English rugby for decades. 6Ns were a good start and the English sides have played well in Europe on tiny budgets compared to the French and Irish sides. Exciting players emerging, U20s winning a GS, GP a good watch again....

These are the hardline Brexiteers who are disappointed that Brexit didn't result in UK nuking the EU. No punishment of the EU is too little for them. Nutjobs.

I've just returned from walking the last 150km of the Camino Way in N Spain. I am not at all religious but I did find the whole experience very uplifting and emotional. The trail is beautiful but, more significantly, the atmosphere and camaraderie between the thousands of pilgrims is something else....

Now emerging that the Irish government’s claim that 80% of migrants in Ireland have crossed from UK is totally made up. Most just fly into Ireland on a tourist visa and then claim asylum. The number crossing from UK is completely unknown but probably very small. The Irish government are behaving lik...

Labour may keep Rwanda Plan until EU return agreement agreed. https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/labour/2024/04/would-labour-keep-the-rwanda-scheme On illegal migration, Labour has a problem. It is that the government’s Rwanda scheme, however limited in numbers, expensive, damaging to Britain’s ...

Apparently the first migrant has now been deported to Rwanda.

Ireland will be joining Germany and Denmark in trying to set up a Rwanda scheme shortly, one would imagine.

Seeing the Irish tie themselves in knots over this has been wonderful. It is a gift that looks like it will keep giving for many years.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13359137/Migrants-Ireland-Dublin-law-Rwanda-border-Rishi-Sunak.html Tories have shrugged off the suggestion that Dublin could try to return individuals who cross the border, which is not subject to checks under the Common Travel Area rules. Former Cabinet mi...

All the small boat arrivals should be offered Rwanda or Ireland. If they choose Ireland they get taken to the land border, pronto. Problem sorted. The pending new SF government wants more immigrants anyway so it’s win-win.

Wheels coming OFF the socialists... Maybe giving 'free stuff' and blaming Westminster is not the answer. Isn't everything worse in Scotland compared to England, despite getting more money per head? Not sure the SNP have done as you say. Sure they like to promise free stuff, but the fact is they ahv...

Certain posters acting like the disparity is England’s ‘fault’. The RFU identified women’s rugby as a way to expand and got behind it. It’s worked very well and they’ve got a lot better. The other unions didn’t. That’s it. It would be like moaning that the ABs were better than everyone else in the ...

The 6 nations is a good competition without England. The other teams gain nothing playing England and England gain nothing from this either. End this tournament it's serves no purpose at all. Wxv where teams play teams at their level is the only way forward. This is the 50th time you've posted this...

She was the final authority in the accounts. She must have noticed the free camper van. She hasn’t lived with him for quite some time by all accounts, bonjour bonjour, bonjour.

How many grand slams in a row can England do?

Others need to take the women’s game more seriously.

There is no question he is the best golfer in the world, however the guy needs to find a personality. Guys like Homa, Rahm, De Chambeau, Morikawa, McIlroy, Woods & even Tyrell Hatton show their emotion, whereas this dull guy simply walks unsmiling around the course.

3 quarter finalists is a pretty good return. Does feel like English rugby is moving ahead at last. Some of the Irish players have informed us how bad all the teams are. We are doomed 3 English 3 French 1 Irish 1 SA I'll take that - even if Exeter and Quins are odds on to get well beaten in the next...

Leicester will wonder how they lost this when they watch it back. They’ve butchered so much.

Scotland is becoming a case study in what happens when student Union politicians are actually given power to fuc* up a country.

Thought the ref spoiled the game yesterday. Arsenal committed 20 fouls and didn't receive one yellow. In the first half alone there were at least 3 clear bookings that went unpunished. If reffed properly, the game would have been more open. Arseanl fouled with impunity, which created a very dull sp...

All the red cards for play that is not malicious in any way.

Not requiring a straight put in at the scrum.

The ruck.
