If France win I'll be happy. They are playing cavalier rugby backed by a coach who didn't play a recognised goal kicker against England because "..rugby isnt about winning penalties, it's about scoring tries.." How is that for a refreshing attitude. Can you imagine England having such spirit? The Eng/France game was such an enthralling game because the French kept running the ball often from their own 22. Vive le France!


BTW I'm English and want England to win.

yep great policy,obviously worked for them.

The Six Nations is the big winner (mwah mwah) this year. It really needed a big open tournament. Definately think bonus points should be introduced for try scoring (like the European Cup)as too much is decided on points difference. And if you avoid going to Rome this gives you a big advantage. (Sometimes)
Do you remember a few years ago when for a reason that now escapes me, there was a gap of a couple of months before the last game. England had won the title, but had to go to Ireland to try and get the Grand Slam. Ireland won it, and the losing side were then presented with the championship trophy. All very weird.

apart from armagh winning the all-ireland in 2002,that was probably the best day of my life, watching the faces on the engerland boys collecting the trophy,priceless.

anyone watching the ireland v wales match tomorrow? I wanna watch it but am not sure where it will be on as apparantly there is some important footie on.


can I gloat and say I am going the the ireland v england match at twickenham. Screamed with joy when I found out. Mate who I got the ticket through plays for a team in Ireland and he knows some of the players so we may well be in the pub with them after the game either celebrating or commiserating. SOOOOOOOO happy. Happily have a pint with O'Driscoll. That fella can drink, so just the one!

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
