Well, you broke one of the fundamental laws of Six Nations Match Threads in that you failed to include a picture of Katherine Jenkins for a Welsh fixture. Makes you a legitimate target for all parties. I hope you're feeling very sorry about that! P.S. I'll be in my bunk... She is getting on a bit t...

A good start would be to cease calling going to the place the 'Twickenham experience' as if it is some kind of paranormal event.

BoB is an impossible mountain to climb, but it's flying (pun definitely intended) well above The Pacific for me.

Re: The Training Thread - all aspects of fitness and health

Been a shite winter for rowing. Floods and fast stream conditions have rendered many rivers unsafe to boat on and lots of races have been cancelled. Lots of land training but there comes a point when you start losing the will to live doing multiple ergs per week.

Re: Sign Me Up!?

We ‘may’ be second to France but one point is that we weren’t second to France until recently. Up until the ‘Tories’, there was an argument that UK military was on a par, or superior in certain aspects, to the French military. It is also not accurate to characterise our military decline (in terms o...
