The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no defacing the Tommy Bowe photo on the bar. That's a banning offence

So pull up a chair....what'll it be?

"EACI, EACI, EACI ..." - sounds like something that might have been said by the knights that formerly said "Ni"!

No... If you're going to use English anmes for the countries, use English names exclusively. Or if you're going to use the native tongues of the countries do.

Either it's Eire, Cymru, Alba and Italia or Ireland, Wales, Scotland and Italy.

Jasus notch no need to be so pedantic, it was quite clever really and I like it

Lewis it is!!!

League of Eire, Italia, Cyrmru and Alba or LEICA.

We should have been sponsored by the Camera company.

Let's just call it the Fun Club.

Did you know exercise is as effective as psychotherapy in reducing depression?

LACIE?

I prefer RaboBankPro12!

Lochaber no more, Sutherland no more, Lewis no more... when you goooooooooooo will you send back a letter froooooooooom America music

I think the Proclaimers are great - possibly my favourite folk based, Scottish, identical twin singing combo! If not my favourite, blummin' close!

Flippin' 'eck - didn't know it was that kind of website! Shocked

The RBP League?
All great acronyms have 3 letters.

Custard, they played that on the radio the other day - it really is a great song. The Proclaimers aren't cool, but who cares?

by MBTGOG Wed 08 Jun 2011, 5:42 pm

Gibbo,

As long as it lasts 30 minutes, is between 50-80% of your maximum heart rate (220 minus your age) and it done 4-5 times per week then I don't care what the exercise is.

by MBTGOG Wed 08 Jun 2011, 5:42 pm

The Proclaimers are incredibly cool for the reason they are so ridiculously uncool.

by MeanAsCustard Wed 08 Jun 2011, 5:44 pm

You can completely ignore me, if you like, and I'm sure you will, but I think Graham would be a t'riffic name. Then you could have:

The Graham
The Jeff
The Plastique Bertrand (Top 14)
and
The Kylie (S15) (sorry South Africa and NZ, but Kylie is Awesome in so many ways) Very Happy

So about 103 for you, Gib? :run2:

My dad and Kylie were born on the same date.

Maybe they'll get their ABBA moment. All I know is, put the Proclaimers on at a wedding - it is compulsory for EVERYONE to dance. I believe it is part of the European Human Rights Act, or something.

You'll be quite young then?

Yes,I am. Note I got it wrong it's the same date but my dad is 8 years older than here.

Cari - cheers for putting up the link to the article about facebook, have amended my settings now Smile

Tonga are 10-3 up against the USA in the Churchill Cup.

She's 1 yr older than me, but I don't mind older women - more experienced and all that.

I came close to sharing a birthday with a certain Mr A Hitler. To clarify - date, not year. Oh yes, and I don't mean he was invited to my party, nicked all my presents and then invaded Poland. That was Stuart from number 16.

by Luckless Pedestrian Wed 08 Jun 2011, 5:57 pm

Stuart from number 16 is a dick.

by MBTGOG Wed 08 Jun 2011, 6:00 pm

I don't have any sound as I'm in the library but Poite seemed very unhappy with Usasz, the US scrum half.

Both sides are not at full strength, especially Tonga, though Viliame Ma'Afu at No.8 is a fine player.

That's what I said - yet he was completely overlooked by the war crimes tribunal!

by MBTGOG Wed 08 Jun 2011, 6:03 pm

Ah great my link has gone already.

by MBTGOG Wed 08 Jun 2011, 6:07 pm

Found another one. USA really struggling here. Tonga are dominating the contact area and look more confident with the ball.

by MBTGOG Wed 08 Jun 2011, 6:10 pm

America score a try against the run of play. Tonga spill the ball on the opposition 10 metre line and a big run from Louis Stanfill brings the US to within 5 metres. Ball is recycled and a long cut out pass to Clever who gives a short one to Emerick who goes over.

by MBTGOG Wed 08 Jun 2011, 6:17 pm

Oooops, maybe I shouldn't have started talking about rugby.

by MeanAsCustard Wed 08 Jun 2011, 6:24 pm

Would love to join in, but can't get access to a broadcast! Crying or Very sad

by Guest Wed 08 Jun 2011, 6:25 pm

what's the score Munsty?

by **Notch** Wed 08 Jun 2011, 6:25 pm

Nah, I just turned it on and USA have come back well. Decent hands in the try.

13-10 dreamer.

by prop_lyd Wed 08 Jun 2011, 6:26 pm

13-10 tonga i think

by MBTGOG Wed 08 Jun 2011, 6:26 pm

As the lads say, 13-10 and it's half time.

by Guest Wed 08 Jun 2011, 6:30 pm

diolch/thank you.

Can't tune into it yet. Have discovered re-runs of Buffy on the scyfy channel and it's a season finale. Have to indulge myself!

by prop_lyd Wed 08 Jun 2011, 6:31 pm

Quantum Leap for me!!

by MBTGOG Wed 08 Jun 2011, 6:32 pm

Which season Dreamer?

I'd prefer not to be studying but I'm finding all this exercise psychology stuff very interesting. Just reading about Adonis Syndrome or muscle dysmorphia.

by KiaRose Wed 08 Jun 2011, 6:32 pm

Don't you love summer?

Just when I thought it was time to retrench financially, Oxford Uni Press send me an email with details of their summer sale steam

That'll be a serious dent in the bank balance then.

BTW, if anyone is interested in some seriously good reading, lots of stuff available.

by Guest Wed 08 Jun 2011, 6:34 pm

Season 5 Munsty - with Glory and the key etc.

I reckon exercise psychology would be very interesting. We touched on it very briefly in A-level but I didn't get to do a full module on it or anything Sad

Kia - don't tempt me!

by MBTGOG Wed 08 Jun 2011, 6:35 pm

Applied for a job in Boots today. One of things was about having a clean UK drivers licence. I ticked it off as I have an Irish one, which is okay over here.

Was that okay?

by MBTGOG Wed 08 Jun 2011, 6:36 pm

Try for Tonga after a wonderful midfield break by the inside centre.

by Guest Wed 08 Jun 2011, 6:36 pm

Was there not an option to say you had a non UK licence?

Can't really see it being a problem though.

by **Notch** Wed 08 Jun 2011, 6:38 pm

That was a nicely worked score.

by MBTGOG Wed 08 Jun 2011, 6:39 pm

There wasn't but I really don't think it will be a problem as I can legally drive over here on that licence.

Is that the episode where Buffy sacrifices herself?

by MBTGOG Wed 08 Jun 2011, 6:41 pm

I'm not a fan of this Tongan scrum half. I think they have two much more superior players in that position in Samisoni Fisilau and Taniela Moa.

by Guest Wed 08 Jun 2011, 6:43 pm

Aye Munsty it'll be fine I'm sure.

And yep that's the episode, this one totally made me cry when I was younger, will see if it still affects me...

by Guest Wed 08 Jun 2011, 6:43 pm

ah what it's not actually the proper last episode! It's part 2 of 3! Boo, will have to wait until tomorrow.

Note to self: check these things properly first.

by MBTGOG Wed 08 Jun 2011, 6:44 pm

That's a burn dreamer.
