If you are so inclined to try, I have a 6 Nations prediction game in the Rugby Matters thread. Little knowledge required. There are only 5 rounds of 3 games each.

Inspired by the footie thread I thought I'd try a Six Nations prediction game with easy to digest rules. There are only 5 rounds of 3 games starting today. The Rules Predict a correct result : 20 points (bonus of 20 if it's a draw) Predict any teams exact score : 20 points The number of points your prediction is from each teams actual score: -1 point per point e.g. you predict Wales to score 20 and they score 7 = -13 points You must play all 5 rounds. The weekends fixtures and my predictions: Wales 17 Ireland 21 England 28 Scotland 15 Italy 18 France 26 First kick off is at 1.30 today.

I can't add much. I once was taking a coach to Geneva which broke down in France. Two of us hitch hiked the rest of the way. Our last lift took us for a meal in the city and my abiding memory is of having pumpkin soup.Generous driver and lovely soup. I also have cousin who lives there. The last time I met her at a surprise party for her parents I ended up being seated beside her. I learned that she didn't wear underwear. I can only blame this on the Swiss because no decent Catholic Irish girl would do that. Feel free to use either of the above as icebreakers.

Rick O?Shea, an Irish radio DJ on RTE?s 2fm, recently asked his listeners what questions they think should be asked on an Irish citizenship test, and they responded with some amusing answers. O?Shea?s team has since made a poster to convey all the favourite responses. You are told that someone is "going spare," should you (a) Find him a job (b) Find him a girlfriend © Avoid him Do your parents ever start conversations with "Do you know who's dead?" Ming the Merciless is (a) A comic book character (b) A TD and Mayor from Co. Roscommon What is a holy show? (a) Religious programming (b) Something garish worn without the wearer knowing the impact Do you live in immortal fear of leaving the immersion on? Someone says "I like your top." Your response is (a) Thanks (b) Penneys If a feature on the RTE news reports that an incident took place at tea time what time did the incident occur? "Story horse!" translates as (a) A child's toy (b) A greeting between friends "Bleedin rappih" means (a) It's very fast (b) It's very good If someone was a 'gas man', would they (a) work for the gas company (b) be really funny You'll get "some land" means (a) you're about to become the owner of some property (b) you're about to be surprised Do you have an ineradicable belief in the restorative powers of flat 7up? When you're telling someone a great yarn and they implore you to "Stop," do you (a) stop (b) keep going with gusto If someone offers to "put you in the pot", should you (a) flee from the cannibals (b) accept their kind offer of dinner

Maybe on points difference with England having 3 home games. I don't see a grand slam, though you can never trust the French to be predictable. Ireland could do it if they get off to a good start in Wales.

I'd like to claim a 'maxxi' RD. Me account was hacked. They weren't me entries.

Are you doing the PL's mid-week matches RD?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/21171918 The greatest try ever scored? Maybe. Certainly one of the best games ever.

Us Legion may well have caught Legion ears disease waiting for Woody to finally come out and say something that's newsworthy.

Do kwikfit do anything for free without there being a catch? Does anyone for that matter?

I don't understand how I got a train to LB at 7am and the tracks were frozen later causing all the cancellations.

It was to me anyway..........golf...........round. Subtle.

Very funny Mick.

How many amputee chickens are there out there? Seems cruel.

The first vinyl single I BOUGHT for a girl was Love Grows (where my Rosemary goes), Edison Lighthouse. It didn't have the desired effect. Maybe because her name was Michelle.

Well if were talking excuses for our selections, I'll add that my Noddy and Big Ears EP was given to me and I was very young.

Vinyl (owned) - Noddy & Big Ears (EP) Contained a line from Noddy as he washed up the dishes which I've never forgotten 'splishidy splash,why is water always so wet' I've spent my life trying to find the answer. Vinyl (frisbeed across the drawing room) - Tea for the Tillerman, Cat Stevens

Can't understand why Southampton would sack their manager. Has the world gone mad?

Surely there should be points for predicting postponements due to snow?

How does he do that WOD? Bars of soap annoy me as you can't really use all of it.
