I think Phil Vickery is awful as a co commentator. Not just what he says or doesn't, but his voice just doesn't sound right on TV.


I think the studio guys are all good speakers. That bloody board though is a waste of time. Trying too hard to do a Sky when it's not necessary.

I think Johnson and his team are clueless. Why are Deacon and Tindall in the team. Why did Stevens and Wilkinson come out for the second half. First scrum with Corbs on they get the shove and a penalty. They've even coached the talent out of Youngs. Jebus. Thing is, you can see them making the final.

It wouldn't surprise me at all now if England limped their way into another final. Their ability to do that is impressive in a way, but personally I'd rather see either Ireland or Wales get there playing decent rugby. I'd be interested to see Wilkinson at inside centre with Flood at flyhalf and drop Tindall, probably too late to change much though.

No taper, I can not see England getting to the Final. As for Ireland's backs being poor, I'd rather them than England's any day. I can see them ripping Italy apart tomorrow. The AB's will still have to negotiate Australia or S.Africa and they are famous for getting the collywobbles. If they lose Carter & McCaw they will be a much weaker team. I still wouldn't rule France out either.

Well if anything good comes out of the shambles of today, then at least Johno will come to his senses and realise that Tindall has won 50odd too many caps. Never should he have been picked in the squad let alone the team. Add to that Moody is not the man he was (never an out and out real 7 anyway) and that Jonny is struggling to find his radar. Changes please based on common sense. Oh, and can someone please explain to the players on the park that the ref needs to be played - regardless of his decisions! The outside backs can set the tournament alight but can the lads up front please wake up and smell the salts/roses!!

Unless they show up with game A++ they're on the next flight home. Shockingly poor and needs some significant improvement.

Jonny wrist injury ? Anyone heard anything more about it?

I knew that's what you really meant first time taper!

Hmmmm..........I think though I hate to write it, Ireland. After that France to start to play and win. I suspect that MJ thinks the backs just get in the way. Kiwi's to beat Argentina and the Aussies to beat SA power with silky skills. I don't think I'd bet on 3 of the 4 though.

      I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience

      Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
