I have been on Ibroprufon

I detect no difference!

I've just survived a week of flu, I am full of the milk of human kindness, I love my enemies of old, I wish England all the best, also France, I hope they lie down together, like the lion and the lamb and conspire to a nil-nil draw and walk off, hand in hand, into a wonderful sunset of entente cordiale.... leaving the Scots and the Welsh to have it out daggers drawn!
Forgive me, I have been on Ibroprufon (NOT, Irn-Bru)

It's Anna's Heiliger Dankgesang eines Genesenen an die Gottheit, in der lydischen Tonart

Going on how France have played, and lost, the last two matches I imagine it'll be a walk in the park for the English and a third victory although I've read that Jonny Wilkinson has been giving advice to Michalak about karma and how to deal with Owen Farrell. I now see Michalak has been dropped from the team. I suspect it will not be so much of a Le Crunch but a soggy croissant for them. (I do hope France will manage a win though, even by one point, as I feel so sorry for them)

That's very generous of you, Anna but I want England to win ... and win again ... until when they get to the final game at the Millennium Stadium, their confidence knows no bounds ... hubris!

You'd have been far better on Irn-Bru

Ask a Frenchman if he fancies watching Les Misérables this weekend and he will assume you are offering him a ticket to Twickenham.

So am I, but how is her plume?

Game potentially spoiled by the soggy weather but it developed nicely, Wales dominant in the scrum and at the line-out, a shame that Italian discipline and handling skills deserted them as Wales' lead was extended.

Who was the lummox sitting in the commentary box next to Jonathan Davies in the second half? - he could tell you everything about everyone but kept forgetting there was a match to see I thought that Shane Williams did very well considering in the first half (commentating not playing )

I feel exhausted now

I feel exhausted now

Brace yourself, man!

Good start for les anglais!
