Just to get into to the swing of things, this is my favourite 'rugby' picture of 2018. My aunt Ursula with Joe, shortly after the Grand Slam match. Who can get closest to guessing her age at the time?

Either way newcomers can join by finding the pool using the title of this thread.

Hope to set up another one of these with the 6 Nations fast approaching. I suspect previous entrants will receive automatic invitations. I'll place a link on this thread for any potential newcomers if I can get my act together.

Haven't seen it, but seems there was uproar at PMQ's in HOC as Corbyn supposedly called May a 'stupid woman'. Just needs someone to call him a stupid man and that will be more truth spoken there in a long time.

The Swiss option made me smirk.

Someone else on twitter posted a picture of the exchange and it looked like there was a camera crew there.

Getting ready for 'no deal'?

A May v Corbyn TV debate. What the hell is the point? They both want to leave the EU. Neither of them is capable of an original thought. What a waste of time. And can anyone vote on what they hear? No. Only MP's.

I'm sure all the shoplifting will cease when the food supplies start running out and the army are called in to protect the stores.

If the WA is voted down in the HOC, what's next? Anyone?

I notice in her speech May mentioned the 3rd option for the first time, remain in the EU. A tactic no doubt though still a possibility. I wonder how many additional letters of no confidence in her will be written as a result of this. Even if there was a vote, she could win it as what other options are there?

A protest? A sort of 'down with this type of thing' type protest? It's probably hard to be specific.

Where's the evidence that BJ manipulated JJ?

?160 a ticket? Where were you? Is there a Royal Box? Good game though with another controversial moment.

I particularly like this from Raab who I think must be speaking to a class of 6 year olds. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-latest-dominic-raab-trade-eu-france-calais-dover-economy-finance-deal-a8624036.html

I can't believe the effin BBC. Banks is apparently on Marr on Sunday, followed by Question Time (In Dulwich?).

I heard they get it 3 hours beforehand. Am I mistaken as I thought the shadow Chancellor used to respond to the budget speech?
