I am playing a gig this Saturday at a rugby club in Twickenham. Imagine my disappintment when I realised it was some little dunp on the outskirts! :(


In all seriousness, it's going to be a fecker to get to!


Lets just hope England show some improvement, or shall get absolutely mullered!

Perhaps, just maybe, with Godman that year older, and a pack now regarded as pretty decent (although Murray getting crocked is a blow, and White is stepping up to lock), Scotland finally, eventually, might, who knows turn some of that promise into a decent campaign.


Or perhaps not.

The Six Nations won't be as exciting as The NFL Superbowl on Sunday where an action packed Match reached its climax when the result hinged on a dramatic finale involving The Arizona Cardinals' final offensive play in the Super Bowl, a fumble by quarterback Kurt Warner, the play being called correctly.

Kurt Warner reportedly questioned after the game why play wasn't stopped and a replay review wasn't done by the referee, feeling there was a possibility that the play should have been ruled an incomplete pass because Warner's arm was going forward. That, of course, would have enabled the Cardinals to retain possession of the ball at the 44-yard line of the Pittsburgh Steelers with five seconds remaining in the game.

Mr. Rooney, The proud Owner of The Pittsburgh Steelers was delighted that his side won the Trophy for a record 6th time.


Can you imagine how the SteelerNation felt all thru' Pennsylvania?:)

That was nothing on Ronan O'Gara's drop goal in Cardiff a couple of years ago! Seeing as you are all rugby fans how come you haven't picked a team in the Fantasy league thread?

Can anyone comment on what Hoopers was like for the rugby?

I had a couple of friends come over and we watched it in the Vale - little or no atmosphere there and especially for the ireland game, noone interested really, apart from out little group. I think the Vale is really a footie pub.


Was Hoopers any better? Thanks.


PS - I was going to switch to Hoopers between games, but I was not sure I was going to be able to find it in time, not having been there before, but if recommended will def go there next time. Cheers,.

      4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
