To be fair, that looks tastier than that match was.

How long do we think it’ll be before the IRFU suggests going down to 3 provinces?

Was swithering over having my Chinese chicken curry tonight with rice or chips! Rice far better for my waistline. So chips it is. Thanks for the excuse. 😉

Just been educated about the new “Single Malt” law in England that there’s has been a bit of noise about. Been hearing they’re the same as Scotland and Ireland. Turns out that’s not true and the guidelines in Scotland and Ireland are far more difficult to meet. Who saw that coming 🙄

Honestly, if relief becomes the usual feeling at the end of the game, rather than disappointment, I’d take it in a heartbeat!

So here we are again my friends. The URC begins again for the 26/27 season. Good luck to everyone. Except Leinster (obvs). You can go screw yourselves 😉

How refreshing and very well said! I probably spend more time correcting messages than I do typing up the original, because Autocarrot has ‘fixed’ something for me.

Hey all. Any #Jedforest people on here? How’s the parking at Riverside? When I went to the 7s I parked in the Woollen Mill carpark down the road, but I’m guessing the Marr game won’t be so busy! Cheers in advance.

I’m sure the trees are fine. However, I grew up in a house with 5 plum trees in the garden. As a result, I can’t stomach them now.

"we're surprised the guy who pulled this exact move on his old job to come work for us pulled it again on us to go work for someone else" is extremely on brand though, fair play

Took my daughter to Frankenstein’s when she turned 18 because she’d always fancied it. Not a place I would rush back to though. It is what it is. A brewery run gimmick.

By ‘atheist’ do they just mean people who don’t believe in the invisible, magic man in the sky? Seems fair.

Will never forget being at the house in Perigord a few years ago and wondering what this falling ‘stuff’ that looked like snow was. Only watching the news, realised it was ash from a forest fire many miles away. Truly terrifying. Hope you’re all safe and sound in St Jean D’A.

To be clear, I don’t like killing anything I won’t eat. Living on a shooting estate for years changed my view of shooting as a “sport”. But wasps get no reprieve. Little feckers can’t die off soon enough.

Yeah, I’ve got a can of that, but these bastards are in the wall cavity so I can’t see the actual nest. There’s far fewer of them today so I’ll hit them again either tomorrow or Sunday and that should do the job.

Ok, last rugby rant until the next one.
I’ve seen some posts about the great success of Scotland u20s posting Nucifora’s face.
 The average age of the u20s players is about 19. He joined the SRU less than 2 years ago. There is NO FECKING CHANCE his influence had anything to do with that success.

It really does… But accent is interesting. I speak decent French and a (basic) Asian language. Accent is everything for pronunciation in a foreign language. If you don’t change the accent you sound like you’re just “saying the words” in English. It’s a conundrum but, for me, he’s getting it right.

I managed to get powder around the crack in the wall they’re coming and going from and it’s fair to say they’re a wee bit unhappy today! I’ll know how effective it’s been in a couple of days.

So, I have a large and very busy wasps nest in the external wall of my house, beside my bedroom window. I have some nest killing powder, a ladder and an incontrollable, irrational phobia. But I’ve had an unusual, mid-week large whisky and I have some protective clothing. I’m going in. Wish me luck.

Just caught up with @thetrawl.bsky.social podcast with Anthony Scaramucci. Apart from being quite excellent, his quote, when asked about Musk, is a new one on me. He likened being very rich to taking drugs. “The very rich smoke the bong of their own bullshit.” Love it!! 😂

Many moons ago, I got in a similar spiral, for reasons I won’t bore you with. Calling the Doc was one of the most difficult “man the fuck up and make the call” things that I’ve ever done. And absolutely worth it. Helped me more than I can say. Happy for a DM if you want to chat through it.

These reviews are mostly nonsense. One prominent rugby website last week said that Zander F was introduced at the right time to make an impact and did well from his time off the bench. He came on at 17 minutes when the starting TH was injured! It’s almost like they don’t even watch the games…

Every 5mph lowers the temperature you feel by around 1 degree. Riding isn’t the problem. Being stationary is another issue altogether.
