Didn't a combined England & Wales team tour New Zealand at the beginning of the last century - perhaps it is they that have that distinction of an unbeaten tour?

What is Tim Campbell doing on Question Time, is it by chance the BBC promoting an upcoming series of the Apprentice?

I think that Roy Keane tackle on H?land was cowardly - and if any player ever deserved a life long ban it was Roy Keane. It was a totally disproportionate pre-meditated revenge assault - but that's Roy Keane for you, Manchester United to the bone.

It would have to be either British Lions or the Springboks. I am going to plump for the Springboks.

In the Cardiff game Eduardo did a studs showing high challenge that went unpunished - and Setanta's resident muppet Craig Burley palmed it all off with Eduardo will want to defend himself after his injury. What about Bendtner's late lunge, at end of match - again should have been a straight Red card but he didn't even get a booking. Arsenal are as guilty as most when it comes to lunatic challenges and yet Wenger never says any of his boys did it deliberately or should never play again. I like Wenger a lot, he is a great coach, loves football, and is very articulate but sometimes he is such a two faced b'stard!

So what if Spartacus had said there were 4 girls who were 5 foot tall, or even 4 girls all wearing England rugby shirts - would that be offensive!? What I find really offensive is northlondoner suggesting Spartacus's post is in anyway offensive.

If she cannot smell a rat in her own bed - then she is certainly not capable of being on the ball as a Government minister. She is looking after the runaway train that is the Olympics budget - does anyone have confidence she will be able to sniff out the inevitable corruption and back handers that bring taxpayers to their knees? No one is saying Tessa Jowell has performed a crime - just merely suggesting she does not have the aptitude for the good of the country. She is our local MP and I've not heard from anyone who has ever spotted her in the locality - why are these tram lines and/or East London line extentions not coming to East Dulwich!? At the next EDF drinks we should nominate an Independent candidate to take her down at the next General Election ;-)

I think they carefully pick the audience and questions in advance. Looks like a very weak panel to me - bit of a disgrace really that Harriott Harman, Tessa Jowell, Boris Johnson or even the new Commissioner of the Met are not in attendance. What the hell is Piers Morgan going to talk about once he leaves his anecdotes at the door - that would be my question?

Use this for live departures (with realtime updates on train progress) from East Dulwich station http://www.livedepartureboards.co.uk/ldb/sumdep.aspx?T=EDW&R=1&A=0

Depends on what you define as a tour? So not sure if this qualifies, when France won a Test series 2-0 against the All Blacks, which I think was in the early nineties.

Had a salesman from Scottish Power just knocking on my door asking would I like to save cost of energy. I said "yes and that means closing the front door from the cold"... next thing I know he is taking a step forward and asking can he come inside... "No, No, No... I am closing the door now"... goodbye! I was half way though a banana when all this happened... These door to door sales people are real pushy!

I've just read that Ryan Babel is the joint laziest player in the Premiership - he has only made 5 tackles all season. I wonder what Real Madrid will make of the Kop, hopefully they will be a state of shock and incapable of stringing any passes together when they hear YNWA! However, with the 2nd leg being only 3 days after the Reds crunch visit to Old Trafford, I think Liverpool need to avoid defeat in Madrid as Liverpool aren't too clever when trailing from a 1st leg. I can only think of 2 European games, post-Heysel, where Liverpool have lost the 1st leg and still made it through to next round. I recollect those games as Auxerre (1991) and Chelsea (2007).

The best piece of advice I've ever had was in September 2006, from a work colleague who emphatically stated day after day there was a massive credit collapse on the horizon and I should avoid buying a house as he was selling his to rent it back.. Did I listen? Hell no!... Ho-hum... They are usually the best pieces of advice the ones I don't listen to...

'A San Francisco film critic says that in American eyes, or rather ears, an English accent instantly adds 10% to your IQ. Even Richard Nixon seems to have shared this view. On one of the Nixon tapes we hear him ruminating: "Wouldn't it be great if the British were strong enough to play a bigger role in the world. They're so goddamn intelligent."'

I think we might be talking a Vicky Pollard character who is likely to have got physical with Jaybee at mention of a little too much to drink. I suspect Jaybee's motivation to run was more out of breaking all contact with this raging bull than ungentlemanly conduct. As for Keef, don't slit your wrists, I think it was recognised by most as a misplaced joke, that you later retracted.

Has anyone been watching the "Time of Our Lives" series on Sky Sports? Each week Jeff Sterling has 3 players belonging to a clubs golden era around the coffee table and they reminisce from back in the day. If you like anecdotes, such as Jack Charlton's black book, Tony Adams making Ray Parlour into a drinker, then set your Sky+ to 10pm every Monday night! The one tonight was the 1970 Everton Championship winning team, and they were saying Shankly's back garden used to back onto Everton's training ground (which is where I guess the famous line from Shankly came of he'd drawn his curtains if Everton were playing at the bottom of his garden :) They said each Sunday (on Everton's day off), Shankly would take his dog for a walk around the Everton training ground so his dog could have a piss ;-) Next week they have Nottingham Forest from their European Cup era.

RosieH might have just hit it on the head, "if she'd just been a munter". Shocking. Would Jaybee have walked if she was a stunner, or would he have given her the benefit of the doubt and assumed her drinks had been spiked and saved her from the Rugby mob?

You should be tied up by your ankles Jaybee and horse whipped, totally unacceptable.

Watching some of the Inter v Milan game live on BBC3 earlier - I didn't realise Italian football was so exciting! Maybe the BBC should make a habit of showing the Sunday night Seria A games live if that was a typical encounter?

Simon Easterby?

correct!

Oh I've just finished my shift at the Magnolia, did someone have a question!? LOL, no I was down the EDT watching Wales thump England... again :)

The alternative is to get filled up at a petrol station, where there is usually a unisex disabled loo.

Fortunately my front door has not been kicked down - but am thinking of buying some CCTV cameras at ?50 a pop that hook up to your WiFi. Think they have some gear worth investing in at Maplins.

This thread should be on gumtree - but to answer the question, put your hand in your pocket and get a hotel room as they usually have a unisex toilet plus a mini-bar ;-)
