The Italian Vocation

Doesn’t winning it still get you into the Champions Cup?

Didn't watch the game, but was pretty disappointed to see the result. Aai Sharkies, what the hell man. I simply can't see them winning the Challenge Cup this year. There's something missing, this team should be winning most games, not bloody lose them. Add to that the travel factor and playing in t...

I’m not the one making a false equivalence.
Yes you were.

You’re both as bad as each other. Thought I’d add in my own false equivalence here ;)

The only place I have been in Germany was the Mosselle valley, on a school trip in 1992. Of course it been 30+ years but I remember it being a very nice part of the world. It’s a country I’d love to see more of having really enjoyed Hamburg and really, really enjoyed Berlin (if that’s the right wor...

Pikey is not a reference to a race, it’s an unsavoury lifestyle. Still struggling with the language since you came to these shores, then? I was invoking the second definition there in relation to C69 https://i.ibb.co/GkRTp1L/IMG-1479.png jeez, you literally just equated being perceived as being low...

This is what we always dread, any random nutter if they're of Muslim ancestry is a terrorist, if they're white then it's generally a mental health issue. Great work by the cop, and the guy on the escalator. No idea if this guy was a migrant or not, but I know that a lot of the issues with Sudanese ...

Just watched the first two games on record. Decided (correctly) to sack off the Saints game in favour of checking the score and watching the golf. I always support the English team in Europe, but often in a very half hearted ‘just hope it’s close’ kind of way. Quite genuinely cheered when Quins won...

Yeah

Oh wow. That’s wild (if it’s true)

The glorious Tory Rwanda scheme will now cost £580m. £370m will be paid regardless of if anyone goes, £220m of that has already been paid and £50m more will be paid each year for the next three years. Then there's £50m of direct running costs and at least £40m more in Home Office extra costs by 202...

Nah we are a humble lot. We respect each other. This you? Thought you flounce like the other Sharks supporters. Hey no need to role your vokken eyes, obvious he is an American. The Sharks owner throwing a tantrum, claiming de Wet was off side, what a idiot. Ulster coach must be stupid. Hope da Chie...

Yup.

You’ve definitely got the players to be a good side. You don’t have the coaches to do that tho.

Great advice for Vietnam, thanks all. Quick question on Paris, Versailles and the Eiffel Tower. Taking my daughter and mum and was wondering if its worth buying tickets for both places far in advance? We will be in Paris in August and would rather get tickets in advance so that it is all booked up ...

I'm 4 episodes into True Detective, and I'll probably watch the remaining two out of curiosity, but imho... ...episode 4 was the longest so far, clocking in at about an hour, but it was almost entirely predictable syrupy seal-shit. Struggling to think of a single original twist or shock so far. Pol...

Aw, man. So sad. Truly a legend

Bellend DJs playing music at any break in play, especially if a player is injured.

Omfg. Yes. Hang the DJ. Please.

Happy New Year! all the best for 2024

I e said this before, many, many times, my mates are sick of hearing it, but I’d like to see refs being draconian on offside. Benefit of the doubt is against the defence. People rave about top players being able to work wonders with half a yard of space, so give them it by being absolutely rigid on...

Tory policy rarely makes much sense (to me, anyhoo), especially over the last few years. But I find the trumpeting of this by them particularly perplexing. Like, I find it hard to believe even their most anti-EU / xenophobic / die hard supporters will care even slightly about this move. Are they now...

lol. Good to know your preconceptions aren’t coloring your views here!

Weird their sexuality gets an allegedly from you but the claim they were going home for Christmas didn’t

Happy Christmas!

Why was Leinster Scarlets so well attended? My guess is that it's just a winning team getting bums on seats, maybe there was a good contingent travelling who fancied a weekend in Dublin, too? There is only one Leinster home game that isn't in that top ten, round 2 v Sharks - not a lot of internatio...

Why was Leinster Scarlets so well attended?

In a sense I kind of admire that he's managed to secure a pretty well paying writing job for this long while consistently shitting out utter drivel. In one way, it’s totally baffling. I can only assume he’s hit a sort of sweet spot between saying the the type of thing that casual fans / general spo...

Just catching up with Quins v Toulouse. There was a tackle in the Edinburgh v Castres game that was similar to the Aki one and it resulted in a red. The referee went through the exact same process and protocols but ended up with a different result. It shows the we are still some way off a satisfact...

Could well be family related and more power to him if that's the case but if it's related to the abuse/social media attention, he needs to take account for the fact that he brings a lot of that on himself. Out of interest, how did he bring someone calling him a cunt in front of his son? And please ...

This. Agreed, even though I disliked his politics he was bemothan compared to today's shower. I can't name one member of the government of whom I'd say, "I don't agree with them, but they are good at what they do and their motivation comes from the right place" Completely agree with you o...

Really enjoying Good Omens 2. It's not quite as good as the first one, but good solid fun with some very nice references. It's old and hammy, but I've been going through the old SG1 series too, sort of background watching. Just watched the episode where there's a production of Wormhole X-treme, a t...

Yep, I was absolutely saying that all five million is pro Palestine. Get a grip. On another note. Ceasefire agreement stated that mother's and children would be released together. 13 year old girl released today without her mother. Hamas said they'd lost track of the mother, the girl says she was w...

Had a feeling that I'd be talking about this when I logged in. Leo was trying to be clever with a biblical reference but it comes off as tone deaf which is about par for him.
