Re: JIM MALLINDER GOOOOOOOOOOONE
It's a shame it has ended this way for Mallinder who took us from National Division One and won an impressive amount of silverware with the club. At times we played some breathtaking rugby and were a joy to support. Destroying all comers in Div one and then going on to win the LV= cup, European chal...

And in other news, it's Alex Waller's 150th consecutive premiership game this weekend. That's frankly amazing, especially for a prop. Simply amazing, and I doubt anyone will ever come close to that record! I rate Waller as a prop, never has a bad game for Saints. He's a good scrummager, gets his ha...

Re: Favourite knife
Need to buy a good chefs knife and a couple of other knives that will cover most kitchen tasks.
Budget won't stretch to Global, something that is reasonably priced and does a fine job.
Can be a set or individual knives, I'm not fussed.
Any recommendations?
