Almost ALL politicians "are not fit person to exercise the stewardship of an country" Fixed David Cameron warned us in 2009 that "Today we are in danger of living in a control state." Sadly that's every bit as true now as it was under Labour. The Conservatives want to snoop on your emails. Every ti...

Re: It's Official I'm a Ref (fred continued from old Bored)
#6 finished, was supposed to be assessed but no one pitched. Not the greatest game, but it was tight - the home team, the underdogs, winning 19-17. Far too many sideline refs that annoyed me a bit. Happy with most of my calls, missed a few things in a few rucks there the ball ended up on the other s...
