Incidentally what was the result of the hearing that presumably occurred as a result of the Try of the Season Award?

I hope Cockers totally ignores this piece of drivel and writes back to them saying any move by this ridiculous body to attempt to ban Mr Cole will be met by legal action. Cockers must be free to pick and choose whomever he wants to, to represent Leicester Tigers.

Get back on the blue tablets please; either that or desist from writing satire.
Leicester Tigers 1995-
Nottingham 1995-2000

I'm never sure whether Noddy is attempting satirical style humour, or is just missing the point

I believe that Richard Cockerill is still a Director and Founder member of the Front Row Union with headquarters in the ABC bar. He is certainly the B all and end all. To call this post "drivel" is outrageous and probably from one in the salmon and cucumber brigade of the stadium, so distant from the real fans beliefs of the front rows roles and responsibilities. :smt045

I'm not sure the 'for' is necessary in your question. You also have the option of replacing 'actually' with 'even'...

Surely it was 30 metres - it's now 3 days since the event and the tale should have grown by now!? :smt003

Ackshuallee, eether spulling is ackseptubul (on a keyboard with American English as a spell-check option).

Sort of.

However, philosophically, you make an obvious point… the longer any discussion goes, the probability of a comparison involving anything increases.
