      .... in earnest now and 10 mins into the second half against Argentina England are so woeful it is unbearable to watch
      According to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe.

        Forget about Wilkinsons misses....the half backs are failing to use any [very little] possession we have...why is W fly half , why is he now prefered when Toby Flood was so sucessful....This kicking off to the blind three quarter side has failed 5 times yet still W persists....Yyyyyyyyyyuk....

          Fascinating documentary last night on Carwyn James and night before an hour long programme on The Lions tour of 1971.
          Oooh Anna! Could you provide a link please? Sounds wonderful

          Does the Carwyn programme mention/discuss his being gay?

                  It must be me, but Dmitri's best feature is his cleft chin

                    Various comments spring to mind but I'll settle for:

                    Welcome back, ammy !!

                      I only saw the first half of England v Argentina before I had to go out. Well, a win is a win I suppose .......... notwithstanding, they should finish top of their Pool as their other fixtures should be a walkover?

                        Never mind all these men with funny-shaped balls. Let's talk about a proper sport!

                        It's the Italian GP tomorrow from the historic Monza circuit- Hamilton and Button have just qualified P2 and 3 respectively.

                        Go Jenson and Lewis!!

                          well, maybe - but the French do rather go in for primping - pimping - their rugger boys in a way that I don't think the English/Welsh/Scotch/Irish teams wd countenance...

                            That immortal phrase from "Withnail & I" springs instantly to mind:

                            Perfumed ponce!!

                                Just watching my recording of the France game.

                                GREAT arrangement of the Marseillaise - some very naughty little 'armonies, some bits sounded as if Percy Grainger or someone had got his hands on it

                                Confusing but not unpleasing to see the froggies in their white strip...
