Re: First time fatty; need help losing weight
I started skipping dinners or at least not eating anything after 5. I don't know how healthy that is, but I lost two stone in a couple of months. Big thing I cut out was soda drinks - fairly sure I was addicted to Coke. Smaller portions for breakfast and lunch too. Simple when you think about it. O...

But they all really did believe in magic. Magic is the basis of most religions. They were set up as means of control.

As an aside, is the Spectator the same as it is in Australia? A faux news site that frames opinions from right wing loons as fact? The original Speccy was a great read. Especially Jeffrey Bernard, when he was well enough. The Australian version has always been shite. I tried it, and spewed it out.

He'll need to keep his head down when he runs with the ball. I reckon there would be a few old hard heads, and some young bucks, who will enjoy trying to knock it off his neck.
If he has an ounce of self-respect, he will refuse match payments, no matter which level he ends up at.

Actually, it's that he occasionally goes missing when he's needed to do the hard work - like making his designated tackles. That's not to say he wasn't a good poach for the Brumbies, after being developed elsewhere, at provincial level. Harry Wilson is a better #8. Valetini needs to learn make thos...

Re: OFFICIAL Super Rugby AU Grand Final! Reds v. Brumbies
Agree with Towny about Valetini. What sealed it for me was the (legal) collision with Harry Wilson, which took Wilson off the field, and had no noticeable effect on Valetini.
Backrow of Valetini, Wilson, and Hooper, I reckon.

Better team lost, IMHO. The Brumbies attack looked lethal in the first half, dunno how the Reds survived.
The ending was not a particularly good advertisement for our game. "The Keystone Cops try to play rugger".
