I think he was underrated by Boks fans more than other countries fans. I think I learnt all the Afrikaans swear words by people talking about Percy.

I was going to suggest Stefan Terblanche too but unfortunately was never capped.

Prostate cancer is very treatable. Hope it isn't something like bowel cancer which depending on which stage it's at can be very dangerous Stage 4 anything is pretty dangerous but bowel is quite survivable if it’s not spread much. If it’s stage 1 or 2 he is fine. He isn’t that old. If it’s 4 and not...

So have booked a 2 month stint through Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan, in September and October. It’s using my long service leave and is a chance to enjoy myself after the last few years of hell. I’ll be on my own but in a tour so will have some strangers to get to know. The...

Not sure if this is the right spot but it’s going here. When I was 39 my wife was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer (it was found on her 37th birthday). The cancer had spread to her liver but the doctors felt it was still operable. She had 12 weeks of chemo and then had a life saving operation sc...

The two other great locks during my rugby viewing lifetime was Martin Johnson and John Eales. They obviously didn't play together as team mates at international level, but I was trying to think who their best locking partners were. I can't remember.

The Pacific powerhouse of Nauru has declared that they recognise Taiwan as part of China. They're aligned with most countries in the world then, including the US?

Can’t bring yourself to refer to them as terrorists can you.. speaks volumes.. Are you labelling all Palestinians as terrorists? Suggest you might want to rethink that one.

Who is saying it's not harder now? All that's been said is that there's savings to be had with little hit to quality of life that some might not be taking.

I'm with Bullet and diolch here on this. I had no problem saving when my rent was 600 per month. As soon as it went to 1000 a month my monthly savings for deposit dropped to 200 -300 a month ( maybe even less , can't remember). I was lucky though as the overall deposit was already saved over a few ...

Bravo doesn’t care . Just kill more Palestinians. It’s exactly the sort of blind hatred that motivates the lunatics of Hamas .

How then do you actually suggest Israel were to have responded post-October 7th? Sit on their hands and say oh well? In case you haven’t been paying attention, for the last 18 years Hamas have been firing endless streams of rockets into Israeli cities and towns completely unprovoked, defensive arra...

Oh they are strategic geniuses are they. The genocidal urge in the Palestinian population has served them well these past 80 years? They could have got on with building a peaceful life and country in that time. They are not making choices which are helping them in the long run. Blind Freddy could h...

Because its a load of shit. Hamas needs to be eliminated. That is a military goal which will incur a lot of unavoidable collateral damage. Hamas are scumbags who will make it as bad for Palenstians as they can, because Hamas are like this, they need to be eliminated. You should get a job working fo...

Only a simpleton would look at what Israel are doing and think 'i f#cking hate jews'... People like that are racist scumbags. I, however, do hate what Israel are doing. And feel very strongly about the plight of Palestinian civilans. That DOES NOT make me anti-Semitic. Similarly only a simpleton wo...

it now takes 13 years to save a deposit for the average UK property (up from three in the mid 1990s), It sure as fudge does when you’re spending half of your income on lifestyle choices.

Thing is, when evidence is provided (eg the poster on page one with the sister and dog and impossible to buy a place she wants in sw London) then some cretins dismiss that as irrelevant or an old fashioned view .

It’s almost as if you completely missed point number 2 in my original post. You even quoted it. And then when I asked for evidence of the third point you basically said it was the vibe.

But for those interested in more than just broad remarks, the evidence suggests younger generations are actually better spenders than older generations.

There is no study to say that wearing a parachute when jumping out of a plane is safer than not wearing one.

On a completely serious note, Al Baxter. He is universally thought of as the worst prop to ever play test rugby, (although possibly has the best shitting face of any pro sportsperson) but that was built on a couple of years when he was thrown in the deep end too young after Ben Darwin's broken neck ...

Nobody is arguing that house prices haven’t gone up. We are saying that home ownership is still very attainable for most people in spite of the narrative that “it’s impossible” Sheesh.
