AnnC :-D :-D

OH will be proud again soon. Saw signs of hope yesterday. You will be able to kiss the photo and put him in poll position soon, I hope.

Was amazed yesterday that Ireland (who we beat along with all the other 5 nations last season) thrashed the Argentinians, who Wales just capitulated to in second half. But it was a much better performance imo against All Blacks yesterday :-)

Andy Robinson has resigned as coach of the Scottish rugby team after their embarrassing 21-15 defeat to Tonga on Saturday.

Didn't know that John, but OH just read that he had said his job was
on the line.
OH said that Scotland made stupid mistakes in his opinion.

Hope there are no more games in Aberdeen. Those south of the border get nosebleeds if we have to go further than Edinburgh :-D

It is said that Rob Howley was the coach responsible for first three-quarters of match against All Blacks yesterday. Then Warren Gatland took control for last quarter.

Much better performance towards end of game. All Blacks were really knocked back on their heels ;-)

LOL, Princess Anne never misses a Scotland match and
I've never seen her with a nose bleed. :-D

There is life beyond the Watford gap John. ;-)

Saw a little of the Welsh game but then invaded by family.

Princess Anne is a very special person. Did you not know I had a "thing" about her when I was young.

I am not unaware of the far north. I went up to Brecon yesterday for an hour and have been known to go as far north as Chester and even Sheffield. So I am not one of those people who thinks Muswell Hill is in the north :-D :-D

They built a granite city on rock 'n roll ;-)

Well whatever floats your boat John re Princess Anne :-)

Try coming over the border John, you'll find the air very
bracing :-D

Rock n roll and Irn Bru ;-)

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some women like ugly old Daniel Craig with his bad skin ;-)
