    hey finbar do you know where I can get a full cast list for "They're a weird mob" online?

    My Uncle Jack is the bloke who works with the Italian on the building site and teaches him how to shout a beer in the famous pub scene but I can't for the life of me remember his surname or find a screenshot.

    (excuse me rugby fans - but our mate is a wizz on this stuff)

        Jack Allen was your uncle? I never knew you were celebrity-connected. Jack Allen was a stalwart of Oz TV in the 60s, 70s and 80s. He was bound to have been in something of mine. Usually played blokes propping up the bar. Runs in the family.

          Oh yes, great uncle, and as was said of my grandfather, by his sister no less, "he was the kind of man everybody liked - but you wouldn't want to be married to..."

          My Auntie Jean, his ex wife and now widow would probably agree about Jack

          Sorry fellas, now back to rugby.....(I won't mention the Brumbies, its just too painful)

            I wonder if anybody here was actually pleased with anything last weekend?
            Blues didn't get through ...
            Warratahs did something very strange towards the end of the game and lost any chance of a bonus point and the top spot.
            No need to mention the ZP again I guess?
            Either Toulouse lost as well (which might evoke an or two from Tamerlin, should he see fit to grace us with his presence) or Toulouse won (which might provoke an even more irritating or two from the same corner) ...

            *sigh*

              Well that hurt. I have to confess I had a significant emotional reaction to the game - it actually made me feel down for almost a day.

              That means it had a more negative effect on me than losing to Brive in 97 or even the third Lions test in 2001.

              Bottom line is that Wasps outplayed us on the day and deserved to win that game. The score perhaps flattered them as they got two breakaways as we tried to press late on.

              I struggle to see the 'cup burglars' as triple Champions given they have not won the league since 1997 but I'm hoist by my own petard here as I knew at the start of the season the 'Champions' would be settled via play off so to moan too much would make me look like Mark Evans of Quins.

              Not the send off I would have wanted for Martin or Backy but both were their usual exceptional selves in a team that otherwise choked badly.

              So long Neil and Martin - and thanks for everything.

              As for Wasps - they are going to be an easy club to hate going on Saturdays showing. Their fans set new lows for soccer style behaviour - arrogant ignorant yobs. I'll not be in a rush to buy tickets to see them at HQ anytime soon.

              Not that this will be a problem - Tigers will not be serious chalengers for a few seasons now as a we have some big holes to fill in the squad.

              Unfair to blame individuals totally but one has to say Corry looked like a man who had not played in a month and Goode choked even worse than against Toulouse. Ellis lasted twenty minutes - he is carrying a shoulder problem and simply not fit to play.

              Okay can someone cheer me up?

                  Yes. In exactly 14 days, I'll be in your hemisphere, one hour ahead of you, harassing the hell out of you in this forum!

                    It gets even worse for the Brumbies, Horse. Sam Norton-Knight, the very promising young fullback/fly half, the one who could be Steve Larkham's identical twin, has signed with the Waratahs for next season. Even worse, the Brumbies are looking at Wendell Sailor to replace Clyde Rathbone if he nicks off to the West.

                    Oh, and Matt Henjak's terrific performance on the weekend, subbing for Gregan, will only see the mob in the West double their efforts to pilfer him.

                      Yes...

                      Stade Toulousain 47 - Castres Olympique 20

                      Interesting game, without any suspense though...

                      The Castres Olympique scored two tries at the end of the second half because the Toulousains has already won the game and took a little rest while the coaches replaced the top players needed for the H-Cup final.

                      The Stade Toulousain is third of the French Championship and almost qualified for the final phase (with the four top teams), the first team that could contest a fourth place is 8 points away from the Stade which is possible thanks to the "bonus points" system... though virtually impossible now.

                      Either Toulouse lost as well (which might evoke an or two from Tamerlin, should he see fit to grace us with his presence) or Toulouse won (which might provoke an even more irritating or two from the same corner) ...

                        Do you have a bullet finbar? I'm afraid I'm out. 9mm preferred.

                        Actually two of them would be nice. I'll carve Tamerlin's name into one of them and shoot myself with the other.

                          Strangely the Brumbies thing cheered me up more than the thought of Finbar constantly outwitting me in almost matching time zones.

                            Bullets wouldn't stop him. Heavens knows I've tried. Fear not. In exactly a fortnight, I'll be in his hemisphere, in his time zone, only a border crossing away from him. He cannot hide!

                              Look on the bright side. The Bulls - the nearest thing to an English team in the southern hemisphere - made the S12 semis.
