Re: Freezing cold water dips

For Christmas I was gifted a cold water plunge bath. It’s nothing complicated at all. Basically a half barrel shaped paddling pool. Fill it with cold water and ice, and then torture yourself until you feel good. Anyone else have one, or do cold dips? Please share your experience/tips … I sit in the...

I think the 5.30 kick offs are killing it, too. For a 3.00 kick off, you can get some lunch and be away from the ground for either drinks or dinner or continuing into London at a reasonable time, or for those who want to head home, even if you didn't get properly away until 6.30 even a three hour j...

Re: Law question- Farrell tackle

I would say the Aussie clowns, certainly not Farrell's brief. I mean the Aussie barrister you could imagine would be able to twist all sorts of things around in his own mind as that's part of his job, but the two former internationals are the real spineless jessies.

I got a ticket for this game for the privilege of being a local resident, for the princely sum of 10 quid. I will be hoping for an evening of many head injuries. All to Steve Borthwick. How will you tell In his post-match interview he'll sound less like Wearside Jack and more like Brian Sewell.

They keep trying but I can only ever stick on there for 3 or 4 months at a time. It's a gradual transition I suspect.

On the plus side I'm halfway through embroidering a fancy pillow sham.
