One of them suddenly leans over my shoulder and asks if we're here for the rugby. I say yes, a bit nervously. He turns to his mates and goes "don't worry lads, they're just rugby twats." And off they go. Never been so glad to be called a twat in my life.

Dazzle camouflage, also known as razzle dazzle (in the U.S.) or dazzle painting, is a type of ship camouflage that was used extensively in World War I, and to a lesser extent in World War II and afterwards. Credited to the British marine artist Norman Wilkinson, though with a rejected prior claim by the zoologist John Graham Kerr, it consisted of complex patterns of geometric shapes in contrasting colours interrupting and intersecting each other.

Very nice indeed but 30,499 is the target. Get buyin! 💰 ➡️ 🎟️
RTÉ report 1 May: "A week later, England scored 12 tries in an 84-7 win over Scotland at Murrayfield, where a crowd of 30,498 set a record for attendance at a standalone women's sporting event in Scotland."
