  • How can you expect someone to be a lock when they only weigh 72 kilos and stand at just over 1.5 metres (I think I did my conversions right). I mean a proper lock is like 108 kilos and 2 metres.

      Stick to Fridays! As Havak pointed out, I was bagging Ol' Lantern Jaw, he whose Mist is Reddest.
      I was actually aware of this. Hence the Not that I, in any way, agree with such a depiction of his lordship (or is he still waiting on that?)

      Are you telling me its not Friday again? Damn. I was rather looking forward to the weekend tomorrow.

        1 metre = 3 feet + 3 inches = 39 inches

        1.5 metres = 39 inches + 19 1/2 inches = 58 1/2 inches = 4' 10 1/2".

        You certainly shouldn't be a lock!

        In round figures, 5' 9" = 1.75m; 5' 10" = 1.77m; etc.

        72kg = 158 lb.

        But not all locks are 2m. The average would probably be 1.93m to 1.95m.

          In Havak's view, he already sits on God's right hand. And God wishes to heck he'd bloody well get off!

          There's that Western Australian calendar again. Looking forward to the Sydney Olympics?

            I predict the USA will clean up in the swimming pool.

            • He may wish he would get off - but just like everyone else he can't move Jonno unless Jonno wants to be moved.

                Put lots and lots and lots of money on it.

                    Presumably he will also sulk when God shows him the yellow card.

                      I would say he would be right to, if we look at the state of the world we can deduce of all this that God is a pretty bad referee...

                      • Ah that's Tamerlin - spots an opening and pounces.

                        It's been ages since Jonno saw a yellow card. He'll probably get one in RWC from some useless (SH) ref or other.

                            • A sad little piece on the death of Nick Duncombe. Just a pity about the sub-editor's tacky contribution with the headline.
