Did it nip round you Michael with a gallic sidestep and show you a clean pair of frogs legs as it dived over the double yellow line for a try.

Fancy a frog at an Italian restaurant.

Maybe... but the best teams still manage to walk away with something even though they've been out-played.... tenacity, you could say. Had Wales got that late try, I'm sure they wouldn't have seen it as a hollow victory, but one that was hard-fought.
Contrast this game with the scrappy, dull Ireland England match. Also does irritate me immensely that Inverdale moves straight on to dissecting why England lost rather than praise Ireland for being the better side. He did exactly the same thing when Wales beat them. Getting a bit sick of the England Broadcasting Corporation being a licence paying Celt.
Most people are entertained by England being ruthlessly destoyed by the pundits. Besides that most viewers are English for a BBC broadcast - the same happens on BBC Wales where the Welsh are only interested in the talk about Wales win or lose.

    • I was amazed to see a young nuthatch crawling headfirst down a the trunk of a tree in my garden to bully the great tits and blue tits off the bird feeders yesterday.  Didn't expect to see one this far from the woods.
    • some titles are "protected" ie you have to have certain qualifications and be registered with the supervising council https://www.hcpc-uk.org/about-us/who-we-regulate/the-professions/ Dietician is registered and protected Nutricionist is neither. Anyone can claim to be a nutricionist or chiropracter etc  
    • It didn't occur to me to ask. No idea if dieticians are employed within the NHS. It is just one line of enquiry among others. The GP mentioned it, not me.
    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
