Re: The New Hobbies Thread
I went on a week long cheese making course. It was brilliant. I've been making mozzarella, feta, cream cheese and ricotta at home so far. I am building a cheese cave out of an old fridge. When that's done I plan to start doing the hard cheeses and moldy cheeses etc. I’d always thought about learnin...

Re: Hainault sword attack
There's a video on the Beeb of Police shouting at people to lock their doors as the dickhead climbs across garages and into residential gardens. Can't imagine what it would be like to hear that and being out in the garden with the kids, for example. Imagine being the one who tasered him. Only one c...

Re: Choose a coach and captain
McCaw is my captain... the ABs were closer to vulnerable when he wasn't on the field, he never engaged theatrics, played with hidden injuries and always led from the front letting actions speak louder. Post career, he's got on with his life without seeking attention including as a volunteer chopper...

Choose a coach and captain
As a player, who do you wish was your coach and captain?
Was lucky enough to be coached by Geech but would still pick Farrell. I think I would have run off a cliff for Jonno.

Re: Scotland France for the lazy buggers
Paterson was excellent btw. He really was, great decision making and not overwhelmed in the slightest. I was furious earlier when I found out we needed a full back at short notice as I had been out food shopping, but his performance makes me feel less guilty for not being there when Toonie needed me.

For some reason he felt controversy was good for the game. Barnes cunted the All Blacks at the beginning of his shithouse ca...

Re: Adventures in kids coaching
Fascinating comments in this. I lean strongly on 'keep it informal' until mid-teens. Kids will compete for every moment and keep the scores in their heads / talk about it in-game. Tracking results and awarding the winners is, at best, a hollow victory and more likely to see coaches exclude kids who...
