I doubt ????'s would want to fondle my ovoids. I've only got one for a start, it's a bit flat and it needs a wash. No special place for the RWC Predilection League. If there is one I'm sure it will be in the Lounge.


As for watching rugby, I'd ask nearer the time and try the What's On section.

Wales spent time in Switzerland (high altitude) and Doha (heat)

and are really really fit (I followed the podcasts which are

all about red blood cell mass) but they do not seem to be doing

much Rugby.


They even cancelled Poland as it's not needed.


Gatland's the coach though :)

I imagine all the pubs will be showing the rugby as it's a good egg game and doesn't attract bad eggs to one's establishment.


The Bishop is already advertising and Flying Pig shows rugby but not football.


Oval ball snobbery is alive and well in ED and there will be no shortage of places to watch.


We will be overrun with white red rosed shirts no doubt in a show of olympic esque proportions for once in four years rugby fans. Some not seen since 2003.

and some Red shirts - in my experience always a few

Wales fans around ED.


The Irish will no doubt be out as well :)

> @John L - what podcast was that?


Picked up all the squad interviews and tours of the resort on my phone

- I'll track down where they came from (twitter links probably)


This was WoS report - http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-news/inside-wales-brutal-rugby-world-9601898


I know they worked really hard out there - which made Saturday even more disappointing

Seems the face value was ?350 per ticket and even ticket agencies who somehow sell them legally were selling similar tickets for around ?500. And he wanted ?1,200 each.

If there's enough interest I'll come up with something similar for the RWC. It will be probably based more on luck than judgement. So say so if you are interested and I will suggest something in time to allow for feedback/alterations.

Last time it was very much judgement rather than luck...

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open.

      Looking to buy or adopt a dog

      By LondonFermentation · Posted

      I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.

      @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage

      If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
