    A woman of taste... how did she end up marrying you?

    I think it was released about 3 years ago. Well worth a look.
    I have never heard about it, I will watch for it in the Utopia program, if it is a good movie this movie theater will broadcast it one day or the other...

      Rugby - Six Nations Tournament: five against one
      Mmmmm. With the best half of the England team now retired and the other half struggling with his shoulder injury, I assume that means five against Les Grenouilles?

        No it's five against les Rosbifs...

          There's always been a massive shortage of single, straight males in Sydney.

          It should also be on video and DVD. You should also try to see Mammet's "Glengarry Glen Ross". It started life as a stage play before it was filmed. Stunning film with Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon and others. It was released in the early 90s. It will be on video and/or DVD.

            Not anymore, mon ami. Your 6 Nations ship might finally have come in.

              A Grand Slam or nothing...

                Why not? A Grand Slam, that is.

                At home, with the English team in transitional "post WC" period, you certainly have the players.
                IF you beat them, all you would need to do would be decent against us, and not commit suicide against anybody else.
                My main problem with a French Grand Slam, as opposed to 6N, victory, would be the lack of quality decision making at 9 and 10, especially in a close tactical affair.
                I think that we would push you and England beat you, in that type of game.

                  The main problem of the French team is the lack of good kickers, Frédéric Michalack must improve its kicks, he has the talent to become one of the best Half-Fly...

                  On the other hand the worst problem of the French team is Yachvili, he has always been terrible at the international level...

                    Gee, much as I hate to say it the only one I can think of off the top of my head is the final - pushing it into extra time with a late flurry of 'questionable' decisions seemed a little too 'convenient'.

                    I'd be surprised if this were actually the case though.
                    Surely it would have come under much more scrutiny much sooner given its relative importance ... ... The absence of the All-Blacks notwithstanding.

                      Agreed.
                      At some stage, at international level, you need to be able to dictate field position and create a forward dominance to win the big games

                      In my opinion, you have the forwards to do this, because to be honest, most of the packs in world rugby are pretty average at the moment. England are good, and, after that you are the best of a mediocre bunch.
                      The question I would ask is this .
                      Is Michalak capable of dominating a game, under pressure.
                      TRUST ME, we know he can do it with the ball in his hand.
                      A big thumping at the WC proved that.
                      The question is though, can he control a game with his boot, and, critically, know when to switch and do so effectively?

                        This chatter is all way over my head. I'll go back to trying to build Dermott's Tomato website. I'm trying to teach myself how to build a website.

                        See if you can view the pictures. Mrs finbar couldn't on her PC at work. I can see them on the Mac. I think I have to save the images somehow differently before posting them

                        Edit. The link doesn't seem to work!

                        And still doesn't! Bugger this IT stuff. No wonder Havak drinks so much!

                          I think you may have a / too many on the end.

                          This works fine for me.

                                But that aside, are you Mac or PC? If the latter, Mrs finbar's machine at work is rooted.

                                Edit. In the meantime, I'll see if I can change the top photo to something more hideous.
