From a late start this thread is bubbling nicely, keep it up lads.

i dont mind the idea of an appointed upper house in principle....its just who does the appointing I'd prefer fixed terms of office (say 10 years) and limits to the number of appointments, so that there is a regular clearout and replenishment. Having had Blair stuff the Lords to get his way during h...

Looking at the names coming out it is going to be quicker to name anyone who survives the cull.

Tom Whiteley has played 10 in the previous rounds so I suspect they'll stick with him again. Loz has played quite a lot (may have him on the bench just in case).

Quite a shocker from the Trump team: Ben Carson ushered in his tenure as secretary of Housing and Urban Development by suggesting that Africans brought to the Americas during the Middle Passage as slaves were “immigrants” who imagined the US as a “land of dreams and opportunity”. “That’s what Ameri...

2 stinks of 10 years at various levels of direct employment.

Was surprised at the length of service from so many, got the impression everyone moved on fairly regularly but now feeling less odd for not doing so.

Not uncommon when I ring someone to do a telephone interview and they are driving and they are surprised when I tell them they must pull over or no can do. Hands free or not they can't be full focusing on both.

hadn't tried Louis de Bernier since Captain Corelli but though time for another go and loved Bird Without Wings

Kate Atkinson was another I thought I'd go back to having read nothing since her first (which I liked) and was again glad I did with A God in Ruins.

All it takes is a team that can think on their feet and the tactic is next to useless. We learned a few things on the weekend. One of them is that England, though appearing to be a well drilled team, has no idea what the f**k to do when Plan A isn't working. This which Is probably why O'Shea chose ...

The Italians are so confident they were able to name their starting line up yesterday already.

Same. Really, really want it to be something earth shattering but assume it won't be that momentous.

Not literally I hope, or not a few more decades at least.

This article announcing Solomona's signing for London Broncos comes from January 2014.

The Who's Hot and Who's Not article on PR says he qualifies in 2 weeks time.

Surprised Moriarty playing and not getting the weekend off - did the Welsh have to release him back or was that voluntarily?

you'd think the Italy game was perhaps the moment to test Dan Robson out at international level, but sure let's hand Youngs and Care their 68th and 69th caps respectively :roll: Robson wasn't in the 30 (33?) man squad for the 6N, just the EPS before it was narrowed down further. neither was Paul Hi...

Don't buy the lovely delayed pass thing. He was going to kick and realised the French defence were too close - wouldn't have cleared their waste and got rid of the ball to the nearest person - happened to be Farrell on a good line.

Thought Ford had a poor game. Is it coincidence that when he was hooked and Faz moved to 10 that we scored a Try? However, it's only 1 game where he's been poor, so I'm not panicking. How does May keep getting picked? I feel he has little to offer other than pace and there are others who can improv...

The way the whole stadium went from raucous Davis Cup to stunned silence in an instant - took several minutes for the replay to see exactly what happened but it was immediately obvious that was match over (it was looking pretty much a done deal before that anyway - 2 sets and a break down).

The PrisonPlanet echo chamber were having a massive wankathon when they hoped the terrorist was brown. Jesus what a bunch of disgusting cünts. There was zero sympathy for the poor victims.

Non muslims can't go to Mecca - no exceptions.

I don't think you'll find much support for that either.

The left overreacting and being precious, accusing Trump of being evil. Well Evil is chopping somebody's head off in the name of a religion or, ironically, instituting slavery because your holy texts and spiritual leader promote it. It's also worth noting that whilst the numbers of Muslims in the U...

In the event that we beat wasps, what has to happen for Leinster to get a SF in Ireland? Can we draw Munster in the semis? If Toulon win would that mean Leinster play them at home? There is no way Leinster can get a home semi. Clermont get a semi in the home country. If they lose then their victor ...

Head to head match points - Toulouse got a bonus point away.

Well done Exeter, one of the good guys in rugby.

So still mathematically in it. So a shock win down in France next week and few fortuitous result and is there going to be another miracle sneak through (I doubt it, Ulster could also in theory, I'm not betting on either but fun to contemplate)

What may be an unsuccessful presidency from any reasonable person's point of view doesn't mean it is unsuccessful. If, as said above, he lines his pockets from it and everything else goes to hell, from a Trump stand point that is peak success.
