      By that I take it that Mrs. Finbar does not read what you post then.

      • And speaking of rugby, J. Wilkinson has aggravated his shoulder injury and could be in doubt for the 6 Nations. No Wilko, no Tindall. Now all we need is for J****'s jaw to develop dry rot and Tamerlin's mob of poules could be in with a chance.

          No, Apolyton is private ground...

          By the way Finbar, I have ordered le petit ophrys to the bookshop Ombre Blanche, I will know saturday if they can have it or not... I will let you know.

          Colomiers Rugby 6 - Castres Olympique 12

          A sad game played under a heavy rain (and even a hailstorm before the game), on a field changed into a pool of mud and with a bad referee. It could have been a better game with a better weather as the two teams tried to play but gave away too many fools with such a slippery.

          The Stade Toulousain is playing tomorrow and I really hope the conditions will be better.

          Flipside, if you want to know what Finbar and I are speaking of when we are talking about bloody things visit this website :

            Havak, tell the Sieur Finbar we are not talking about poules but about Coqs... there are big differences.

            I would prefer the French squad to crush a full strength English team.

              We'll take what we have. The last match was more lost by the French indiscipline and inability to adapt under the rain than to the presence of one or another player in the English team anyway.

                *flippy flips out*

                Personally I felt that the last game between the sides was determined by the greater control of the English forwards, the nerves of Michalak, and the superior kicking of the English.

                    Or, in the case of M'lle Labit's own personal Coq, petit differences!

                    They haven't in the past, why should they in the future?!

                      Havak, of course, would disagree. But he's not around, so who cares? I agree. The French made it much easier for England than they should have.

                        I don't agree there are BIG differences.

                        • My God.
                          I am defending the English.
                          Yes the French made the game easier.
                          IMVHO the key was the way the English forwards gained control, played on Michalaks nerves, kicked it long and then reset from there.

                            You've obviously researched the matter, so to speak, closely.

                            (sweet, sweet memories you gave-a me
                            you can't beat the memories you gave-a me)

                            Take one fresh and tender kiss
                            Add one stolen night of bliss
                            One girl, one boy
                            Some grief, some joy
                            Memories are made of this

                            Don't forget a small moonbeam
                            Fold in lightly with a dream
                            Your lips and mine
                            Two sips of wine
                            Memories are made of this

                            Then add the wedding bells
                            One house where lovers dwell
                            Three little kids for the flavour
                            Stir carefully through the days
                            See how the flavour stays
                            These are the dreams you'll savour

                            With His blessings from above
                            Serve it generously with love
                            One man, one wife
                            One love through life
                            Memories are made of this
                            Memories are made of this

                                I was dealing in the currency of our many Rugby threads: completely unsubstantiated and totally defamatory allegation.
