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...

      Beware - sheet ice Avondale Rise .

      If it’s not their responsibility then it’s not their responsibility. If it’s that of one of the properties on that parade, that property own must take action.

      Any interest in a Barter scheme?

      By malumbu · Posted

      Disappointed with all this negativity. I do occasional favours for mates or neighbours,  I sometimes charge a modest amount.  I know my capabilities, and those accepting my help understand too.  They may at times repay the favour.  To date I have not stolen anything, set anything alight or molested anyone.  Everything I do is within the relevant regulations eg I would move a plug socket hut not rewire the house. It's what people have done no doubt for 1000s of years. I do not compete with builders.  My usual response eg following requests on the street Whatsapp is to advise that much of jobs should be a simple DIY. I'm surprised how many house holders have so little experience, more so as the millennials move in. The Lets scheme is highly regulated. Meanwhile some of us may let a casual worker into our home, perhaps cash in hand, without checking their credentials.  There is still a considerable black market out there.  What I do is so little time, I'm not depriving professionals of serious business.  A contact who asked me to repaint her buy to let was told a clear no.

      Ongoing water leak from forecourt of former Tile Giant & crossing pavement to road (opposite former Grove Tavern) reported to Thames Water yesterday evening - they said not their responsibility, but said it was owner's responsibility. Warned TW that likely ice overnight, but wouldn't budge.
