The Official 2013 Wales v England bickering thread.

First topic message reminder :

2013 bickering thread

OK, every year we see threads that actually contain really good rugby discussion derailed by the ongoing Wales vs England bickering and WUMMING! I will name no names. I guess we have all been guilty.

Since most of the general bickering comes from the respective fans of Wales and England ; I thought I would create a thread for it in an effort to keep decent rugby discussion relatively WUM free in other threads.

Let it commence

[Luckless Pedestrian]

They hand those out outside the ground. They're waterproof, so you can p!ss in them.

[HERSH]

I can't wait to get my hands on one

[Luckless Pedestrian]

Just make sure it's new rather than used!

[offload]

Makes our Trans-Tasman bickering look tame by comparison.

All we ever hear is the popping of champagne corks and occasionally some half-hearted grumbling.

True. We had to rely on an ex-pat English journo to start the latest round (for the multitudes who don't read the NZ Herald or the Sydney Morning Herald Mark Reason asked the Wallabies "are you England in disguise?" http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/the-wallabies-are-england-in-disguise-there-is-no-bigger-insult-than-that-20121114-29bb0.html)

Like the term Dullabies - I work with a few Aussies, I think it will stick

[Pal Joey]

Just a word of warning, offload. We have thick skins. Go for it!

[gregortree]

Look.... please would you Antipodeans not hijack this briliant E&W thread ?
But feel free to start your own petty Tasmanian and deluded bickering elsewhere ?

[Pal Joey]

OK, OK. We'll give you some space.

Apologies for the intrusion.

[AlastairW]

Just a word of warning, offload. We have thick skins. Go for it!

Of course you do. You have a massive hole in the ozone layer down under, that's enough to give anyone thick skin!

[Luckless Pedestrian]

Breaker, surely Australians have theeck skeens, and New Zealanders thuck skuns?

[HERSH]

Breaker, surely Australians have theeck skeens, and New Zealanders thuck skuns?

True, Wales have also found NZ to be tough nuts to crack.

Exactly Lucky.

Can we please leave the NZ nut cracking out of this, HERSH?

[gregortree]

Nut cracking ?
...that kind of comment belongs on the alternative 'blowing & domination' thread...

[Luckless Pedestrian]

Since when do nuts have skins?

[HERSH]

I'm very happy with the Eng team to face Aus, No knee jerk reactions like dropping the Capt etc...

Very poor show IMO to do that to the lad.

[gregortree]

oh naughty Hersh, trailing your bait again ?

[LondonTiger]

Laverbread.


Really?

[gregortree]

Anyway,
Captain W is not dropped.
He is being rested for the more important matches later.

Dropped? he's only being "rested" you know..........although quite how he will recapture his form warming the bench is a mystery.

[HERSH]

I take it the Roof will be shut for tonights game.

[HERSH]

[mystiroakey]

so then we both lost- what does that mean..

[HERSH]

so then we both lost- what does that mean..

We're still one up on our head to head

England 56 wins
Wales only 55 wins

[Galted]

There's an Eng-Wales b1tching match going on on BBC have your say if anyone's interested.

[gregortree]

RWC finals: 3 - 0
RWC 1-0
IRB No 1 rank 1 - 0


Victories vs SH sides - umpteen to not very many
Away Wins in SH: several to nil

Maybe a stat monkey can fill in the missing SH data

[HERSH]

I think we have the better sense of humour too but I do concede that our male voice choirs just can't compete to the same level

[Jimpy]

Rugby defeats by Samoa and Argentina have forced Wales into a long overdue questioning of its very existence.

Experts say the best options open to the terminally vanquished country are to be subsumed into the Isle of Man, or used for paintball tournaments.

But others insist both moves will ultimately end in as yet unimagined levels of failure and called for the Welsh to be placed into boats and forgotten about.

A spokesman for the Welsh ‘Government’ said: “Thirty years ago our young men had three choices – play rugby, go down the mines or become New Romantics.

“Many still go down the mines and just sit there in the dark doing nothing, while our New Romantics are regularly out-dressed by the exotic islanders of the South Pacific.”

“But just when rugby was once again giving us a reason to be pleased with ourselves, we find it snatched from our grasp like it was some sort of ball.
“I suppose we still have the singing but after a while it does start to grate. A bit like a bronchial cough.”

But the spokesman insisted that Wales would be fine in the long term ‘because Charlotte Church is bound to come up with something’.

NOTTINS sighted !

BBC Wales rugby thread: just spotted NOTTINS over there.
Remember him ?
Wondered where he went. Is he banned from 606 v2 ?

Most likely just under a new name to avoid getting any stick of people. I think a few people have done that.

[gregortree]

ok NOTTINS - you there ?
Wot's your 606 name then ?
Are you HERSH ?
C'mon man up !

(I don't think he is on here actually, I think I'd spot his old 'style')

[mystiroakey]

gotta back england v new zealand now- we are gonna crush em and losing to aus has given england a few more points

[Jimpy]

I'm convinced Welsh Lad Gareth is loitering around on 606V2 somewhere.

[ScarletSpiderman]

Out of interest Jimpy, if you knew who WLG was (or Saint WLG, or whatever it was when he finished) that would suggest you were on 606, so who were you then? And what took you so long to appear on here?

[HERSH]

I was never Nottins

I'm disappointed in you Georgetree!

[Jimpy]

We were all on 606...

Hardly news.

[RubyGuby]

There is only one HERSH

[Cyril]

I'm convinced Welsh Lad Gareth is loitering around on 606V2 somewhere.

Morgannwg might be able to shed light on that.

[ScarletSpiderman]

I don't think all of us were, I was just wondering who you were back then, cos I don't remeber a Jimpy back on the old boards, and why you seemed to take a year or two to start posting on here.

[gregortree]

Its GREGOR Hersh, not George.
Hersh, I hoped you weren't Nottins, but thanks for reassuring me.

I guess we need a:
'Where are they now' type thread.
Nottins, GreyGhost, Moffets Ghost, WalesWillWinaGrandSlam.
Any others ?

Or would the title be:
'Who are they Now ?'

RugbyDreamer disappeared when I outed her as a closet Tory.

[ScarletSpiderman]

Oh what happened to StellaTigersFan?

[Cyril]

Are CelticJinker and WelshmaninSpain on here?

What about the Baron or Sospan?

Not seen a post about George Marvin on here.

[gregortree]

Tory ? So she was a Scots lass then ?

[Cyril]

Porridge? Juggler?

[gregortree]

Quick, someone start a

'Where are they now' thread.

I'm off to do some work, must go.

[Cyril]

gowershowerpower was a bit saucy.

[RubyGuby]

you mean gowerpowershower - he was hysterical

RugbyShrink seemed the most intelligent and informative though

[Cyril]

It was definitely showerpower and not the other way around.

Shrinky had his moments. We won't see the likes of him again eh, Ruby?

[Luckless Pedestrian]

It was definitely showerpower and not the other way around.

That's true. I remember because it didn't make as much sense as it would have done the other way round.
