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 :)

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...

    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!

And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections.
