Re: Interesting Dilemna
If he's told you his name, what he used to do, and how he lost it all, it seems reasonable that he'd expect you to find out his story? Maybe talk to him about it, ask him if there's someone who you could talk to. From what you've described, it sounds very unlikely that he's going to be in anything ...

Re: Interesting Dilemna
At a club I organise, there's a bloke who seems extremely nice, 'wouldn't harm a fly' type, but appears to suffer from some sort of learning disability.

Re: 'Honest they were in a pro Lions squad' worst XV!
You should have stopped with anyone but ROG. You're possibly right. But Ellis was small and just as likely to be run over. I deserved that. Which is a worthy discussion, if we could turn back time what could Ellis have done that was any worse in that 13 mins? Could he have topped the worst cameo ev...

You do know that a draw would have been useless too? He's had some brainless kicks in the past, that one was more execution than poor decision making.

You should brush up on your geography mate. Not historically Gwent. It was Glamorgan. Then bits were shifted to Gwent in a boundary change in 1974. But the town itself was mid-glam. The castle and other businesses still address themselves as such today. Caerphilly Castle - Cadw Castle Street, Caerp...
