Re: French Top 14 day 21

Brilliant summary as ever, ZSF. I particularly liked the following extracts: Ugly scenes marred the Catalans-Basques game (Perpignan - Biarritz), to the amusement of the spectators. Rémy Martin took a huge hit in the face by Grégory Le Corvec, who is cited for his behaviour. There also was a rugby ...

Re: Another wonderful advertisement for the 'Beautiful Game'

Agree. And knock off the OTT celebrations, you've scored a try not won the Nobel Prize for physics.

Re: Advice please!

And I have this dread feeling that the ladies of the wedding party are going to blight some beautiful city like Prague or Dublin by turning up in matching hats and hilariously daubed T shirts so that they can get sick on alcopops and shots. Surely you don't mean those delightful pink Stetson-style ...

I take it you do not drive an automatic?
Do automatics not have hand (parking) brakes ?

Re: Why are people so thick?

I was sympathetic to the original post ie drivers not knowing or caring whether their lights or on or not, just not subsequent "I shouldn't be done for speeding" ones. The fact that the lights on/off is as much about a) being seen by others and b) not inconveniencing others as helping the ...

Re: Why are people so thick?

Wholly agree Fleabane; it is also instructive to note that those who park in disabled parking bays who should not, are very much more likely to commit or have committed other, more serious, offences.

Re: Why are people so thick?

I'm always soooo impressed by "personal experience" - much more reliable than evidence and traffic officers are "obsessed" by traffic offences? Whatever next. I wonder what interests officers posted to a murder inquiry or a robbery squad?

Re: England under 20's

"The great bald one"?? Blimey, are there ANY coaches who don't sport the shaven headed look these days? Rugby seems increasingly divided between Castro & Chabal on the one hand and Yul Brynner on the other. Anyway, well done the under 20's - let innocence rule.

Re: Why are people so thick?

ps Driving with fog lights on when it isn't foggy is a moving traffic/vehicle offence. That's true but how many times do you see the police pull these drivers over? They're more obsessed with nicking you for going 2mph over the limit when you're the only thing moving within that post code. And the ...

1. All drivers are good drivers - they will tell you so themselves 2. No law should ever be passed that interferes with an individual's ability to drive wherever, whenever and park wherever they like 3. Jeremy Clarkson is funny We hold these truths to be self-evident because we are car drivers and t...

Re: Has Ben learned from Grindal

I think the players who do not play regularly with Ben are not reading what he is doing. He looks sometime as if he is slow to release the ball when running across field but he is looking for inside runners and I don't think the back row and centres are reading what he is doing. Didn't he say as mu...
