He was brilliant on UC. Humble and unassuming unlike Paxman. I cannot believe that Paul Gascoigne has outlived him. :oops: I cannot believe that, despite a burning ambition since the age of 13 to be on UC, my university years were 1987-1994...

Isn’t Barsetshire of Archers fame supposed to be nearer Worcestershire than Hampshire, or am I imagining that factoid from the prole characters’ brummie / wezcunree hybrid burr..?

Just seen a reference to Sam Underhill coming back from injury against Leinster on Saturday. The BBC article says he’s coming back after more than a month out . He was injured on 26 December against Gloucester……. Effing Beeb is getting worse I swear! Their rugby coverage hasn't been great for a whi...

It's a boredism.

I didn't think it up myself.

Ok, cool; didn’t know that. Sorry, Rinks - it didn’t seem an inconsistent solecism, put it that way.

Something like “fucking scumbag move - you knew exactly what you were doing. Begorrah. Bejaysus”.

I might have imagined the last bit

I've changed my mind. The oke is a tosser. Check out his latest tweet. https://twitter.com/RassieRugby/status/1461677352216416259?s=20 A rugby genius can't enjoy a pint of plain now?

Perhaps. But this is where World Rugby have missed an opportunity to address sub-standard refereeing. It was a poor performance from all match officials on that day - by their own admission. What has been done to address this? Make them completely untouchable from criticism. That’s what they do in ...

If you were a ref would you want what's happening to Berry to happen to you? Don't forget, Erasmus released this video after Berry responded in full to his request anyway. Yep; that's the part that grinds my gears. I was pretty deep in Rassie's camp up until all this evidence got exposed that contr...

Well I’ve never wanted England to win a test match as much as this one before Crossing my fingers it’s to a last minute horrendous reffing decision You do realise that the Springbok supporters will call for a boycott of all further Springbok involvement this year.......if it comes to that Kak man. ...

Please excuse the poor form of quoting some gobshite from The Other Place, but I, er... he had this to say, and HE can’t be arsed to type it all out again... ————— At school we had a common theme distilled into us: 1.

Is Betty also as thick as fuck? Or maybe Prince Philip was? You don't get to be born as thick as fuck unless one parent, usually both, share the condition. Random mutations of the genotype, innit? Having engaged all 3 professionally, Liz & Phil (and I’m no rabid monarchist - she used to look at...

No arguments here, petal

Actually, the best argument I can think of for the current monarch’s value is.... could you imagine Prime Minister Trump?? Admittedly, he’d fück a Corgi, wipe his dick on a Beefeater and generally be a disaster the moment he set foot in the Palace for his weeklies, but I reckon 1:1 Liz would twist h...

I'm not a monarchist by any means, but having the correcting influence of an apolitical monarch seems a useful feature to retain - avoids the adversarial contention between parties and also doesn't need to play to the voters. Depends upon the monarch, of course. Nail on head. Something unelected ha...

Well, she sort of does to a limited extent - Royal assent turns bills taken through parliament into acts. It's a required step, although generally a formality. The monarch essentially has a veto, it's really just a nicety although my understanding is that it is active - the Queen can refuse to acce...

Shamelessly nicked from PR (nod to danny fitz - and also Saint of this parish, as Search reveals he was a tad too clever, and his reference in the English Rugby Thread went unapplauded)..
