...and another thing. Is the game played by so many policeman because it gives them an opportunity to give innocent people a damn good kicking with no redress?

The most important issue is that England do not win the bloody thing!! Their arrogance is too much to bear already.

Stupid game anyway, whoever thought that passing the ball backwards was a good idea?

Rugby: a bunch of people huddled together to kick each other.


Why can't we all get along and play nicely together? This is the sort of behavior that causes wars! You can give blood without playing rugby! Why, if everyone had their own little plastic cup this wouldn't happen!

So, if you want to increase the world's supply of donated blood and put an end to war, send your donations (no checks!) to me and I'll look into getting a plastic "World's Cup" for each competing player.

Stop the violence, the war, the insanity NOW! Don't hesitate -- send me your donation NOW!!

(And donate often, too. Remember: the more you give, and the more often you give, will mean that war will end sooner and the blood supply will go up more quickly. So give early and give often.)

With reference to "Playing Filthy Lyrics" Thread:

If I was the marrying kind
Which thank the Lord, I'm not sir,
The Kind of girl that I would wed
Would be a rugby forward sir.
She'd put it in, I'd put it in,
We'd both put it in together.
We'd be alright in the middle of the night,
Putting it in together,

Sunday is Wales v Canada, and I'm making Thanksgiving dinner that day. Something really weird about being so far from home and getting back into the rut of 'having the Game on the box' and panic in the kitchen.

Don't know who I'm supposed to cheer for either.

Well, we had to start this some time.

Kicking off very shortly with Australia v Argentina. So far, the opening ceremony hasn't been too bad - the basis for comparison being the opening ceremony for the Olympics in the same stadium three years ago.
