Re: RIP Tony O'Relly
This guy doesn't have such a great reputation in SA, put bluntly some will be very happy and raise a glass to his death. In the 1990s independent news media bought English language newspapers in SA. Collectively these were the most important media organisations in the country and the most profitable...

Zimbo getting a red card has fucked us. I hold Assfly personally responsible. Wright wouldn't have let the team down like this!

I'm sure the HOme Office can be trusted to manage this effectively!

Re: Official United Rugby Championship thread
Looking at those names it's remarkable Duvet had any rugby career at all. Persistence is an underrated trait.
Still going over a decade later. Still wasn't the best 9 on the park which was Wright. Still rated by Oom. Shocking!

It's a nonsense, but we can dream... Corbyn was polling far behind the Tories in the run up to 2017, about 23% to the Tories 40%+, he was over 20 pts behind at times. That's where predictions of Labour wipe out come from. Corbyn then closed the gap in the final two months won over 40% and was 2.5 p...
