If the England supporters on this bored had there way we'd be fielding almost an entirely different team each year, if not each game. Remember all the clamour to get 12T into the side - now he's almost treated as the bogey man. Wade, Ford and Rodo are flavour of the month but they'll soon be pillori...

How many tries have the Respective English wingers scored per game? Ashton must be worth a spot Unfortunately, that rounds out to zero so we prefer to work in tries per season. On that metric, some of them get as high as 1. Our wingers 1st duty isn't to score tries. They are there to defend and to ...

About 5 hours last night, which is not bad for me. Trying to keep busy today to avoid having a nap, Hopefully I'll be more tired tonight.

I had a serious scalp of drink at the weekend and had to leave for work at 6am this morning after having feck all sleep. I have just had a valium(think that's what it is) to ensure i sleep through tonight and am in better shape for work tomorrow. Not feeling drowsy yet and i took it about half an h...

The Haka is just a tourist attraction really. The opposing team should all take their cameras out with them and take photos. Really, really bright flashbulbs might even things up a bit.

I don't know much about this. I sleep pretty well most times unless I've got a presentation/training session to do the next day. I re run it through my mind so many times. There was an article a long while ago, which seemed to say the right things. The bed is to sleep on (inter alia) but reading in...

One of the good things, so far, about Lancaster's regime; is that players seem to play better for England than their club form would suggest. Morgan and Burns being prime examples. It really isn't sensible to keep chopping and changing the side every time a player's club form takes dip or another ha...

I have terrible difficulty getting to sleep. Most nights I don't bother going to bed until 3am (and still can't sleep). If I go to bed earlier I either can't sleep or I'll sleep for an hour and then remain awake for the rest of the night. Luckily I can then sleep in/go back to bed - often until midd...

I'm moving to Virgin and getting BT in my package. It's fact of life that if Rugby sells its' TV rights more more money, chances are we'll have to pay more, one way or another. Just like we have done by having to get Sky to watch it when they got the rights. I'm just hoping BT get the rights to all ...

Christianity does not preach death sentence for blasphemy in any country. not any more.....but most of the last 2000 it did do wherever it got a chance. here's what the bible says about Blasphemy: Mark 3:29 ESV / 14 helpful votes But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness,...

This is on a good day - it's pretty crap (SKY). Time to change I think - We have Virgin fibre in our street and they have a good offer on atm.

Just bought a new car when I was 21 - 1st one I had with a cassette player. Only had two cassettes Roxy Music and Tubular Bells. Reminds me of 1st taking out Mrs Oval to be.

He appears to hold the opinion that Clarke will shortly be deposed. Not sure where he gets that from, but should he indeed go, then Flower, Moores and Downton would also be shorn of that influence. I think he's said that they should be, and that's also what would need to happen for a recall to be e...

Jonny Depp is definitely overrated; had a few good films in the 90s and since then has reverted to playing stereotypes of himself. Pacino is better than de Niro in my book. Don't think DiCaprio is overrated, but he does go for the epic films and grand characters all the time; would be good to chang...

Stallone was really excellent in Copland. And I thoroughly enjoyed his performance in Rambo 4.

Tremlett's selection was particularly dreadful. However, I can understand them gambling on Swan - it wasn't as if we had any real alternative to him.

He didn't fall out with Natal, Notts, Hampshire, or Surrey. He left Natal because he (wrongly) thought he wasn't going to get a fair chance. He left Notts to go play for Hampshire. Jason Gallian got angry about KP leaving. Jason Gallian was sacked... He left Hampshire because it wasn't suiting him ...

Whilst we can never know what the real truth is - the fact is that KP has fallen out with pretty much every team/management that he's had a long term relationship with. In hindsight they probably shouldn't have taken him back after the texting affair. The fact that the ECB handled it all very poorly...

ovalball

I think KP sees things as very black and white. He can't interpret or handle ambiguity. It makes him extremely high maintenance for any management over a period of time. But no one should forget that he's managed over 100 tests and been one of the best batsman to play for England. That's what he sh...

So you have no idea if they make money for the beeb let alone how. Ok. I don't know whether they make money as such - but the Beeb have sold TG to over 200 countries.

Carp grow pretty quickly when there's plenty of food available. We bought some just a couple of inches long, for a few quid each, and they quickly grew to about 18 inches. As they get just a bit larger they will tend to eat all the tadpoles and fry - Koi have voracious appetites. Sounds like you hav...

Well it's an embarrassingly hysteric rant about a measure that will do no harm in the long run, even if Argentina are currently whipping boys.
