I believe a forum user earlier was enquiring whether Tim was married etc.

I think my question would be what does Tim think of the ELVs, and would he like to be playing now with them in place?

What was going through your mind when you nailed THAT kick against Llanelli?

If you're in a car travelling at the speed of light, and you switch the headlights on, does anything happen?

No, that's the sort of question you should ask George Chuter.

Kinny - Just to warn you - at the speed of light you would have infinite mass and become infinitely thin. This will make it very difficult, if not impossible, to raise your arm and switch the lights on, but let us know how it goes.

But to obtain the speed of light, I would obviously be in a Varndel Super Sports Cortizone Injection.

The GT model as thought controlled headlights.

Why do croutons have a 'use by' date ?

Why, now that I am 40, whenever I find a stick, I say "I'll keep that for stirring paint", I never said it when I was 39 ?

Can I pretend to be you for a few days while I date the 'hottie' that wanted to know if you were married or not, I told her I / you weren't by the way.

Who would win in an all out bare knuckle fight, out of everyone you have ever played alongside and against?





You can give 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th place if that makes it more interesting.

When you played alongside Geordan you both seemed to instinctively know where the other was and were able to cover for each other. Was this something you worked on or did it 'just happen'?

What was his best kick?

multiple choice

1)The one that bounced off the bar to go over at the City ground versus Llanelli

2) The final conversion at Parc de Princes

3) One of the 5 he scored at Newcastle on the final day of the season when we won the premiership there

( I found the latter highly amusing because everytime he stepped up some drunken Northumbians next to me in a great accent roared "Stimmo yu cudden hit a f..in Cow's Ar.. with a banjo" and similar and every time he duly obliged by banging it over the bar - wonderful)

Despite all the warnings you had as a child, have you EVER known of anyone getting their arm broken by a swan?
