Good weather, food , and they like the British. I’m not looking for interesting.
As long as you promise not to grumble if that's how you find it.

Portugal is very much about complaining/grumbling.

They can turn to fado for some uplift in the mood

You can't have a starter gun situation allowing a free for all for the ball after an arbitrary ref call with no way to predict when the ref deems the ball won. Reduce the 5s by all means. Or maybe, you know, enforce it. I doubt we'd have complaints if it was just reffed properly. And as I've said b...

who would be motivated to pay to move Steve out without knowing the next incumbent would be any better? okay the RFU if/when they react to mean newspaper headlines, but other than that?

most normal people aren't that normal. though many have limited opportunities to act as they might choose

That's a really, really stupid idea (not the caterpillar part). Just enforce the use it. You're supposed to make the ball available to compete, not spend time admiring it's on your side and then get a further 5-7 seconds to play after a warning. If you don't get it out and play it doesn't seen unfa...

England will deviate from plans quite easily. The players cannot possibly have faith in the system of some of their fellow players because it has zero track record, until you build a record put under pressure players will try to find solutions and that takes the away from 'the plan' One might also w...

Can any in France confirm this is accurate? https://bnnbreaking.com/courts-law/law/frances-pfizer-law-a-bold-move-against-vaccine-criticism-or-a-step-towards-censorship If accurate and true then I'm concerned. Hasn't the French authorities had issues with medical fuck-ups and cover-ups in the past?...

You are right. Knowledge isn't democratic. Which is why engaging down a course of behaviour that appears to give ammunition and credence to anti-Vaxxers is a stupid move. It should be added the USA has one of the highest uptakes of the COVID vaccine in the world. Higher than nations like Sweden, Ge...

The 'dip' in coaching talent is an interesting claim. What we're certainly seeing now is many coaches coming from a playing background, whereas a great many leading coaches being at least part of a setup historically came from a teaching background. So we're perhaps seeing more technically astute co...

That and give them 20 seconds to form the scrum, anyone not ready can go have a rest on the sidelines and the opposing side can have a free kick.

Aren't we moving to a 3 on 1 off 3 on schedule soon?

A reduction in the problem then.

'tis a bit rude mind to not pay the wages and then complain the release period which never used to cover those weeks isn't getting extended for free to the further cost of those who do pay the wages.

Obviously the usual suspects will make hilarious comments about Scotland paoches, but it emerges that England had better preparation time for the Calcuttta Cup than Scotland did. It showed on the pitch. Scotland’s head coach, Gregor Townsend, has vented intense frustration at being deprived of five...

England need to let the new defense bed in, then they'll see less handling errors etc. But yas need to gut the half backs. Marler and Co aren't the dominant scrummagers they used to be. With better half backs and front row, you'll get more front foot ball. Better skills, better understanding of how...

As a comment on the primary I read an article on interviewing 15 of Halley's supporters.

The Tory members are dicks, or at least a bad bellwether of possible Tory voters That's immaterial- only their opinion should matter in the party.

Just watching Eggchasers post match video, gotta say Cockers is just too nice about this. I mean we're staring down the barrel of a 4th in 5 years 2 from 5. It's just not good enough.

So if it is Borthwick, will they get rid of him and Wigglesworth if we go 2/5. If we're crap against Ireland I can't see the twickenham faithful being kind.

Will make zero difference if the masses don't vote for them. Polling 13 percent and likely to win 0 seats.

Nobody thought truss was a good idea. Literally nobody. There were countless polls which showed her and Sunak dead level on zero percent of the membership vote.

That cost being we're paying a shitload for failing weapons systems into a heavily corrupt military industrial complex. And we'd quite like to pay less for working systems into a industry that wasn't corrupt and wasn't littered with so many overpaid arseholes

Well that’s why. The talent and beef is there, but not the top two inches. DT is right that there are a lack of options.

Arundell is starting from a better position than Daly, Steward and Furbank. And there's no reason one couldn't pick Radwan and Arundell. Not sure who the left winger would be then, especially if one wanted to look at Feyi-Waboso. We remain oddly very worried at the prospect of pace in our own team ...

So in essence we're voluntarily not picking Arundell to play Furbank. Just nuts Arundell is just not good enough. I wouldn't bemoan his loss too much. Radwan, on the other hand...

Is this then a different Furbank to the slow one who played for England previously?

or does shifty just mean not as slow as Steward

It looks very sneaky and it's such a bad look when the matter is lives being lost in Gaza Today was scheduled to be the SNP's motion.

Anyone see what Lindsay Hoyle did today? Instead of putting the SNP vote forward which would have put Keir and labour in a tricky position, he allowed both labour to put forward an ammendment on a motion from the SNP who are another opposition party so there would be no labour rebellion.
