That made me laugh for the first time this afternoon Glas Very Happy

Munsty, I don't know much about him, any good?

Refreshing isn't it? It's like Stags blog with instant replies.

LDCP, he got 2 tests vs France in June '09 (when lots of locks were crocked) then got injured himself. He's in the 'Canes squad this season, but hasn't taken the field for at least 6 weeks.

by Glas a du Tue 24 May 2011 - 16:56

Tell me it wasn't the case that he was Wales qualified (with a name like that) but no oh dear from the WRU could be bothered to keep a look out.

I've had a missed call on my phone every day for the last week and a half. Today I found out its about a potential job offer but I couldn't get through when I dialled the number. Not sure if I want to move or not

There's probably some connection given the name. He was born in Napier though, so Wales would've been relying on a parent or grandparent ...

Where is it Stag, what is the field of work and are the hours and pay similar?

by red_stag Tue 24 May 2011 - 17:19

Its telephone sales. I don't know hours or pay yet. My job at the moment is very good hours and I would feel guilty about leaving as I had just been "training" for over 6 weeks. However I hate working here - the atmosphere and the commute.

by red_stag Tue 24 May 2011 - 17:43

Oh oh oh i meant to say. That controversial IRA flag was at the heineken cup final.

by Luckless Pedestrian Tue 24 May 2011 - 18:07

I didn't know they had a flag.

by Guest Tue 24 May 2011 - 18:16

I don't know why, but I'd love to meet Sincero in a way. Just to see what he's like in real life.

Finally over the weekend (I think). Got back from my exam and fell asleep on my recliner. Still a bit groggy, but think it was just what I needed.

by Guest Tue 24 May 2011 - 18:26

My wish for getting Exeter Chiefs in the Amlin can't happen either. Both tier 2 teams. We are going to get Sale or Wasps though, so that's something I have great interest in.

Tier 1
Stade Français Paris (8
Perpignan (9)
London Wasps (14)
Toulon (16).
Sale (22)

Tier 2
Newport Gwent Dragons (25)
Brive (26)
Newcastle Falcons (27)
Worcester Warriors (29)
Exeter Chiefs (?)

Tier 3
Agen (?)
Bayonne (?)
Bordeaux-Begles (?)
Lyon (?)
Rovigo (?)

Tier 4
Crociati Rugby (?)
I Cavalieri (?)
Petrarca Rugby (?)
Bucharesti (?)
La Vila (?)

by Luckless Pedestrian Tue 24 May 2011 - 18:33

What are the numbers in brackets, Rev?

by The_Hound_of_Harrow Tue 24 May 2011 - 18:41

Hi all. lucky, the numbers look to be the teams' ERC ranking position.

I spotted 'that flag' in the west stand.

kiwi, hopefully you won't be inconvenienced on Friday. If all is OK I sort out meeting up to get over there after work.

by The_Hound_of_Harrow Tue 24 May 2011 - 18:43

What a disjoibted post that was Doh

Sorry.

Dragons have released 16 players. Most of you won't know most of them, but these are the biggest names I guess. Matthew Jay Watkins is one, Nathan Brew another, Rhodri Gomer Davies and Arthur Ellis (Hound will know him)

Yeah yeah rev, Sounds Awful Suspicious to me Wink

Love this new Foo's song

Haha Hughie, I knew you wouldn't miss a trick.

Hound was spot on Lucky. It's the ERC Rankings. I am a bit confused by how the draw works. Not sure we will definitely get one of the English sides. I shall keep my fingers crossed though.

by Suspicious lurker Tue 24 May 2011 - 19:04

Big things happening in Libya today rev.......

by MBTGOG Tue 24 May 2011 - 19:13

iRB have said that due to its strategic importance the Millenium Stadium shall be a venue in 2015.

by The_Hound_of_Harrow Tue 24 May 2011 - 19:20

Rev - there are 5 pools in the Amlin so there should be one English team in each pool. If those are the Amlin teams for next season then there will 3 pools with two French teams in. Still, there are some interesting places to go amongst that lot Very Happy

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Tue 24 May 2011 - 19:23

Hughie, yer not wrong - there's a high correlation between a certain regular's movements and world trouble spots - I'll say no more!!

Rev, that is a shame, a visit to Dave would have been great, quite a few of you lads to meet up with there Sad

Alternatively, I'll settle for Perpignan, Agen and La Vila thumbsup

by Suspicious lurker Tue 24 May 2011 - 19:28

Just like I said asbo, Sounds Awful Suspicious

by The_Hound_of_Harrow Tue 24 May 2011 - 19:37

Hi As. I'll settle for Dragons, Agen and I Cavalieri (near Pisa). Some Quins fans I know had a good time there this season. The big problem with the ECC is the Thursday night games Sad

That means two days leave, and we copped Bayonne and Racing Metro on Thursdays last time we were in it. Mind you we did also get Rugby Roma. That was a cracking weekend Very Happy

by Luckless Pedestrian Tue 24 May 2011 - 19:40

So when's the draw for the Amlin made?

by The_Hound_of_Harrow Tue 24 May 2011 - 19:48

I think it's a few days after the Heiny draw so everyone can debate that one. The ERC website might have some info.

Silly Auld Sausage

That one is quite apt, as I have an invitational rugby shirt sponsored by a Company called Auld Wrinklies (a former Sausage making company's name.)

Huggy, you are a rascal.

by Luckless Pedestrian Tue 24 May 2011 - 20:07

I could look it up, Hound, but I'm too lazy!

by Glas a du Tue 24 May 2011 - 20:08

Same auld story here, back still Lego. Hope I'll be better by the weekend. I'd hate to waste Saturday and Sunday in bed.

by Guest Tue 24 May 2011 - 20:14

7th June I think Lucky.

Glas, that's a shame. Try sleeping on the floor. That sorts my back problems out somewhat.

by Cari Tue 24 May 2011 - 20:18

Glas - good excuse to visit a massage parlour. I mean a legit one, not like the one in Twin Town... Smile

by Glas a du Tue 24 May 2011 - 20:28

T its out hand shandy then is it George?

Oooh, that's the spot!

by Cari Tue 24 May 2011 - 20:32

I love that film Glas. When it was released I was working in a record shop. Me and this guy I worked with used to just confuse people by shouting random Twin Town quotes at each other across the shop. Very Happy

by Guest Tue 24 May 2011 - 20:49

apparently guys there is a limit to threads, and they are supposed to stop at 990 posts or something random like that, not quite sure how this one is still going!

Cari - if I open up a new one, do you mind if I use your first post from this one as an intro? No worries if you'd rather I didn't!

by Glas a du Tue 24 May 2011 - 20:51

All time classic fair play. Scarily true to life for Swansea.

by Suspicious lurker Tue 24 May 2011 - 20:54

Oh holy mother of god, I'm being forced to watch Made in Chelsea at home, what a complete and utter crock of shoite, this really scrapes the barrel

Look up Munsty's post on FB today about the withdrawal of sexual favours and tell me women don't have a choice. Ha!

by mickyt Tue 24 May 2011 - 21:37

Hughie you get a good run of that telly sports wise considering you leave with birds so sometimes you just gotta accept it.

Evening all.

by Suspicious lurker Tue 24 May 2011 - 21:40

Ah less of that T haha

But your right I do really have a decent hold on the telly, watching Knocked Up now though
