Having grown up in the countryside myself (rural Herefordshire) I can definitely say there are some old fashioned views towards non-white people. From what I have seen Its mostly of the casual sort rather than the overt hatred you can find in some individuals in urban areas It's a demonstrable fact...

I think people may not be aware that NSW is an active consent jurisdiction. 1. You can't assume consent based on silence 2. Consent is an ongoing process and may be withdrawn at any point 3. Intoxication can influence the ability to consent 4. Consent must be present for every sexual act. You can't...

When I did mine years ago I was surprised at some of the results. It has evolved over time and is now close to what I'd reasonably expect, i.e. over 40% West of Scotland with a smattering of Irish and Scandi, over 40% Italian with a smattering of French and Swiss.

Can one go private in the UK or is there an overall lack of supply? See my post above. Friends from Newcastle (both NHS consultants) could not get registered with a any kind of dentist in their area. They bought a holiday home locally recently, and got registered with the nearest practice straight ...

This seems to be much more of an issue in Englandshire. We have several friends who split their time between Scotland and England (and in one case France) who are registered with dentists here. They all say the same thing, they can't get registered at home, here it is no issue. That is private, but ...

He's waited 70 years to sit on the throne and after finally getting to sit on it, he's got arse cancer. That's a bummer. I reckon he was already f**ked, but they let him have his turn on the big chair. With all the scans he will have had- I haven't just found it poking around his prostate. It depen...

If you are Scottish you should be disgusted with that result. Last year once Scotland were on top they kept the foot down, this time as Russell said they got complacent. Then it looked horribly like they paniced. Losing Gray helped get the Welsh lineout back in the game. Losing Crosbie late on meant...

I refer you to my earlier posts that were so roundly mocked.

Some of the gushing over England, particularly roots, has been nothing short of embarrassing. So not just me. I thought Dallagio in particular was over the top. If England were as good as he and Kaye made out they'd have won at canter. England thrived off Italy's mistakes. More accurate opposition ...

Darge is co-cap’n and he’s not even on the bench? Is he injured?

Yes.

Scotland's experienced pack, especially that front row is going to give Wales hell. Jones and Tuipuluto are a proven combination and should get plenty of ball to work with. Steyn & VDM will have a day of it because it is likely Wales will kick loads of deep ball to newcomer Rowe. Scotland breaks th...

I see Adam Jones has gone with a Wales 32 - 25 Scotland prediction... I mean, fair play if he's right lol. Dan Biggar also calling a Welsh win. Who to believe, players who have actually done it on the field or negative Nellies on the internet who underestimate both Wales and Scotland's ability shoo...

The Welsh faux modesty is being found out. I have just watched a 6N review from NZ who could not see past Wales for this game. :lol: Have you seen our team? Have you seen Scotland's? The bench props are Elliott Millar-Mills and Alec Hepburn. If Fagerson and Schoeman don't last 80 Scotland may as we...

Two years ago Scotland went in favourites, confidence was high, and yet they lost. They lost because Wales did what they had to do to win. They harried, they spoiled, they turned it into a dog fight in the rain. It was not pretty but, with all due to respect to the Welsh, they dragged Scotland down ...

That's ridiculous, as if anybody wants to hang around that part of Joburg after a math :lol: Yeah Ellis Park and surroundings might have been great decades ago, but now you want to get in/out of that area as quick as possible. Even the Lions supporters seem to rather watch their team play at Loftus...

Great answer and thanks. I was reading on NPR that there are reports of the Super 6 being binned. Is that right? As Slick says over there, I have spoken to people running Super6 clubs and this is news to them. But Scottish rugby is never slow to shoot themselves in the foot, so who knows. Super6 wa...

I've seen it all now. It was really good. Quality rugby content for the midweek, what more can you ask for. Some of you gammon are f**king sad sacks. The biggest issue for me was that there was a lack of tension. As I follow rugby I know perfectly well what all the outcomes were, which is not alway...

There is actually a decent Jewish community in Glasgow, and Jews were spread across the known world in antiquity, if for no other reasons that certain professions were dominated by them as Christians were generally forbidden from undertaking them (e.g. moneylending).

There's more than that too. Over 50k you start losing child benefit and over 100k you'll lose free childcare. The £50k to £60k marginal tax rate is 68% when you take into account child benefit. Yes. And the same is even more true in the benefits system. Earn an extra 50 quid a week and lose this ha...

Edinburgh01

Looking at that calculator, your overall rate on 100k is 32% and on 150k is 36%. Not that shocking. It'll increase a bit with the NI increase. The UK Gov calculator is wrong above £100k as it does not take into account the withdrawal of personal allowances. Not a huge difference but it means £150k ...

The cliff edge of some tax brackets and incentives here are a massive cause of economic inertia. Yep, and the fuckers keep lowering them. Anyone over 100k is essentially paying half of his income over to the taxman now. Pretty grim. 100k gives take home of nearly 68k according to the gov.uk site. £...

I have refereed at a low level, one of my sons at a rather higher level. Knowing how hard that was I cannot imagine how hard it is at the top level.

Guys, what are the objectives of the Super 6? Is it to provide a bridge between Amateur club and Regional rugby for promising players?

How odd. It was only the other day when that chap Edinburgh01 was telling me that Scottish rugby was in rude health. Another of your 'I am not nearly as clever as I think I am' posts.

It's more the lack of progression from the U20s is poor. No one from the U20s in the last 4/5 years (I believe) has progressed to the senior mens team. It remains to be seen if the Super 6 series leads to a better outcome in the years ahead. But one can only hope. If you mean players who played in ...
