Telegraph are doing a Fantasy 6 Nations, pick a team rather than make score predictions. You, Mick and myself are already signed up to the Tele Fantasy games, so that would be an easy option...

So, I registered a private league called EDF Fantasy 6 Nations. The PIN is 8051811. I've used my forum name as my team name so you know who you are playing against. Hopefully a few others might be enticed to play and make it more interesting.


For those thinking about it, you can easily select a team at random to begin with and make as many changes as you like without penalty up to the tournament starting. The link is above.

Just bumping this up for those who might be interested.

Only if you are referring to the verb and then it's a matter of opinion. In the case of the thread title I believe the author intended that it could be read either way i.e as a noun or a verb.

Not me DC as it's a Sunday which means Monday is beckoning and I can't hack it anymore. England v Ireland is on a Saturday which is a more attractive option.

Bumping this as the start is fast approaching. Five teams so far. Anyone else?

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
