Or, as I have observed in the past:

Checking through something this morning, found this interesting little snippet: compared to when Sexton was catapulted in to start learning how to coach, Ireland are the only team in the top 5 of the rankings to have lost not just position but ranking points. www.irishrugby.ie/2025/04/17/j...

If you effectively demand Jews be targeted for attending Shul, and demand that you reject and campaign against *this* definition of antisemitism, then you’re a bloody antisemite, pure, plain and simple.

If you demand people campaign against this definition, you’re an antisemite, plain, pure and simple.

These are happy, gentle, hefty men and nobody in their right mind would cross them. Hegseth wouldn’t last ten seconds up against either.

Blue is not bound ever before he breaks away cleanly. Penalty for truck and trailer all day, you would think. And yet. And yet.

Red 4, btw, is now actively required to bail out there, so no offence. Blue ball carrier isn’t bound before, during or after. passport.world.rugby/laws-of-the-...

I mean: lads. What are we even doing here with this?

The blunt truth is, referees either aren’t bothering to learn the laws, or are thumbing their noses at what WR tell them to do, and without consequences in either case. This isn’t tolerable or sustainable. passport.world.rugby/laws-of-the-...

Now, if that is the general position, it is particularly acute in others. Football is one of the most acute because of the FIFA Statutes and the requirement for, in essence, no state interference. digitalhub.fifa.com/m/3815fa68bd...

Something that needs to be noted: you do *not* want the government weighing in here. Not unless you want to run afoul of the FIFA Statutes.

Bismarck was also a wild Romantic as a younger man. One look at the descendant’s beard and game would recognise game.

Agrippa played over 300 games for Munster at tighthead prop across three decades, a record unlikely ever to be beaten, and is a lovely guy.

As I occasionally point out, in the Musée des Blindés in Saumur, pointing at the Wehraboo Room, the French keep one of their Short-Range Make The Sun Rise In The West For Germany Dispensers. It’s clearly in perfect working order. And called “Verdun”.

Both these men are Afrikaans-speakers from Paarl. They are both descendants of the same De Villiers Huguenots. See, I’d agree with the Freedom Charter that they’re equally South African. These people would doubtless try to say instead that one is a “settler colonist”.

Both men in this picture are Afrikaans-speakers from Paarl, both descended from the same Huguenot de Villiers. Both settler colonists? Neither? Which one, if one, and why?
