For our new corporate logo I’d like to see a pic of Quentin Paulson wiping his arse on a treadmill.

Remember when he was a winger and in the build up to the Tour of Hell game where Australian beat England by 70 there was outrage in the Australian media about him being put in to play at 10. Certainly proved the doubters wrong.

There's been a general switch to the Saltire. I used to have a Lion Rampant, and wouldn't be seen dead with a saltire, but not now. Don't know why! It’s a crying shame that I automatically assume anyone who flies the saltire in their window is an SNP nationalist loon. It’s become a bit like the St ...

For those that claim that the use of masks is of no value, I offer this article which I read some days ago. I wrote my thoughts on this on the previous but one page. In summary and anecdotally everyone I see wearing a mask is continuously touching their face because the mask is uncomfortable/they c...

It did serve a purpose keeping the loons away from here albeit temporarily

I may be talking bollocks but I think my first ever post on PR was in 1998 when I was living in Sydney. I was PhilM back then. Then I started posting on scrum.com and don’t think I made a reappearance on PR till about 2003/2004.

ring tailed lemurs :lol: they might be coatis or might not but they are certainly not ring tailed lemurs They are indeed coatis: https://critter.science/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/coati1.jpg Never seen or heard of them before. If you ever go to Iguazu falls you can’t miss them. Giant furry rats wit...

+1 on the Lion rampants.. we should bring that back

I remember Tim Rodber putting in an incredible shift once against SA in SA. One of the best individual performances I ever saw. I remember Rodber smacking Simon Tremain into the middle of next week when England played Eastern Province in 1994 in a typically filthy match, the low point of which was ...

I remember Tim Rodber putting in an incredible shift once against SA in SA. One of the best individual performances I ever saw. Was that in the first Lions test? I wouldn’t describe Rodber as “unheralded,” though. He’d been in theEngland back row for years at that stage. No this was for England pre...

Step aside, Scotland of the mid 2000's coming through: Andy Henderson, 53 caps - a terrible route-one centre who wasn't physical enough to execute his own playing style, couldn't pass either. Marcus Di Rollo, 21 caps, Henderson's outside partner, worst catcher i have seen in international backs Dan...

Maybe I’m missing something but how on earth is Catcher in the Rye considered a work of genius. It’s dreadful. It made me genuinely angry. Same with the Power of One. I loved the Power of One's premise but Bryce Courtenay's continued gushing over Peekay became nauseating. Ah can’t agree there. Love...

If a player on my team got a red card for a flying blindside shoulder to another player's head, I'd say "fair enough," no matter what series of events led to the referee's decision. As roundabout as the ref's method of making his decision was, he made the right one in the end. :lol: aye right. You ...

Tim Collier did time did he? Can’t say it surprises me. He was a horrible Cnut in junior rugby.

I doubt I will ever find out about the Mirror and the Light and that’s fine by me. After reading that shitty Vonnegut last month my book club ha voted for Milkman this month. I feel it may be time to quit.

A few I’ve just finished God of Small Things - meh. Not a patch on a fine Balance or Midnights Children The Whisper Man - very decent page turning thriller if you’re after an easy read Madame Bovary - surprisingly enjoyable. Very readable for a classic. Rules of Civility - loved it.. not as good as ...

It’s alright everyone.. we’ve got a Scottish rapper and Ruby Wax on Question Time to put things right.

I think she and rob loonan would’ve made a smashing couple. They could have been Braz and Lady Pen mkII. Just a shame they lived on the bored during different eras.

As an 8 year old we were in a family holiday staying at Onich hotel in West of Scotland. My dad wanting some peace and quite challenged me to row a canoe across to the other side of the loch (about 400m). It was a nice day and I decided to have a kip in the canoe. Some time later due to wind and out...

My wfe was ordering something off Amazon the other day and asked if I'd like anything. Well, I've just finished a biography on Stalin and thought I'd like to read something by Gorky as I haven't before. I have searched 2nd hand bookshops and normal bookshops but haven't found anything by him availa...

That late bloomer thread has got me thinking, and it's doing my head in because I can't find the info, who is our oldest test debut? It’ll be me when they realise the error of their ways and I do eventually get the call up. The Coronavirus doesnt appear to be that deadly. Don’t crush my dreams

Has anyone seen the stuff doing the rounds about there being many AirBnB hosts who are actually 'superhosts' and in reality own 10+ properties, but all are mortgaged rather than owned outright and they use the rental income to pay off the mortgages? Don't have much sympathy for them, but it could t...

Has anyone mentioned Midnight's Children? I found that to be pretty dull and was expecting so much. Yeah - I hated Midnight's Children. One of the worst Booker nominees I've read, let alone winner.

I found that all the 'classic' books from the renaissance period are overrated (the ones I read anyway). Some examples? Pride & Prejudice and Sense & Sensibility are two books I remember. I did a renaissance literature paper at Uni and ended up ruing my decision as I didn't enjoy any of the books. ...

Ok thanks for the recommendation. Maybe I’ll give him another go some time in the future. Also don’t take anything I say personally.. there’s loads of authors I just don’t get that other people, whose opinions I respect, adore.

Admittedly I’m coming from a sample size of one but the nuanced subtlety of his satire in Breakfast of Champions seemed to be mentioning the size of every male characters penis and drawing a picture of a hairy fanny. I just didn’t see what the feck was amusing unless you’re a 13 year old boy.

Moby Dick was a great book I listened to it audiobooks. I reckon it would be a difficult read with the tedious details of whaling. It's one of the best written books ever. Truly wonderful. Vonnegut is/was a twat I agree with all of the premises here. Can definitely see how Moby Dick isn’t for every...

I have a new one to add.. Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonegutt.. dear lord what a pile of unmitigated donkey spunk.

Hating it. For the first time in 4 years I’m actually working. Figured they would tell me not to start for a few months.. no such luck. What’s more they have stuck me in a boring job because I can’t do the training in London I need to do for the role I got taken on for. Meanwhile every fucker I know...
