john stones 1 - Moderator Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 Can England make it past the group stage this time ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Fry Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Looking on the news today, looking at the England players training, and the weights they were moving, and the size of them, and all the teams are doing the same, and I just pray we don't get anyone, any nation, seriously injured. Who knows if we will get through John. But after the last one, I will sing for any Northern nation to the final. Bit strange watching rugby at breakfast. But it's got to be done. Beats covering my latest creation. Turning out hard work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devcon1 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I know as much about Rugby as I do Quantum theory. I've drawn France and Scotland in the office sweepstake, what are my chances of getting a 1st to 4th place finish . Could the bonus prize for the first sending off be my only chance. 🏈🏈 (I'm half Scottish so that might be a good omen) Edited By Devcon1 on 20/09/2019 07:14:37 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 Be worse than last time, if we fail to get past the group stage. Could play Wales in the 1/4 final, tasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give you an update on the pedants World Cup, as information becomes available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fly boy3 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 An alleged betting offence against World Rugby rules, but the question is who shopped him ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Fry Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Pedant grasser up here. BBC News 24, as I write, plain simple Rugby World Cup 2019. Big capitals on the screen. Got to start watching Fox News now. I'm off now to do something constructive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Fry Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Will that offer still be on, after we have had a look at how the Blacks and Boks are looking tomorrow? As I'm a thousand kilometres away, I feel safe, but I have a bit of a feeling, it might just be Wales this time.

Don Fry Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Martin, before that comment was made, you might have made subtle enquiries as to Mowermans size, speed over 100 meters, Zimmer frame use, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Harris - Moderator Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 It's OK - I checked and he lives considerably far north of Northampton (where the North starts - logical as South starts at Southampton). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Fry Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Good, as I live far south of Southampton I am safe. Heard from a trusted source that the funny wriggle they do just before the tackler lets go has the same function a the wiggle dance bees 🐝 do, in this case to reset the teams brain cell as to where their goal line is. anyway, France were rubbish, Scotland were poor, Ireland don't look like a serious threat to lift a cup. Now the Boks and the Blacks was a serious game of Unrestricted Sex Rugby Union. To be clear, when I refer to unrestricted sex, it does not mean an orgy.
