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...

      Post Office Lordship Lane is Broken

      I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience

      Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
