This random locking down is exciting isn't it? You never know when it may happen! Adds a bit of spice rather than knowing you have 2000 and that's it.

Morning all

Allez les blues

Cheers Hughie!

Morning all.

HOWELLLLLSSSSSSSSSYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great night out last night, thanks so much Asbo. My head's a tad sore this morning too.

Highlanders lead the Lions 13-9, and have butchered 2 or 3 tries with poor handling. Lions forwards are going backwards faster in the scrum than Leinster in the 1st half last week, and they're being killed at the breakdown.

added some smileys as requested yesterday from 606.

That means you get your:

Well done Hobo. Thanks!

Morning all. I'm helping my sister move house today, so I won't be in until later - apparently there's a game of rugby on

Cheers Hobo. In that case, it's breakfast time :_

Why do so many of the Super Rugby teams play in blue? 8 of 15 teams play in some shade of blue.

for me please!! I'm watching the s15 match but can't see the score...typical!!

Out for a stag do today so hopefully we'll stay in one pub for the rugby finals! I'm going for a Sarries and Leinster wins. Oh and apparently there's some wendyball final today.....don't really care who wins that!

1 rule of kicking for touch.....FIND TOUCH!!!!!!!!

Morning all.

HOWELLLLLSSSSSSSSSYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

And I was sat next to the fella.

Thanks to As for last night at what is still a grand and proud rugby institution. It was cranking up to be a good night; shame I had to leave relatively early because of transport (or lack of late night transport) to home.

Highlanders 22-19, tmo about to give Lions a try at the death. Looks like I spoke too soon earlier.

Notch, no idea why there's so much blue

Morning Hound. I left about 15 minutes after you. Timed the busses perfectly though, so only took an hour home

So Lions win 26-22.

Ditto with my trains kiwi

Right, off to prepare a spag bol for brunch before heading out for a day of televised rugby.

Thanks Hobo for the new smileys- I'd missed being able to have a quick in the pub.Looking forward to today - some athletics watching the young master poisson followed by what I suspect will be a cracker rugby match between the Irish provinces in the Magners. Still not sure who might win - head says Leinster but heart says Munster. Either way - as long as no serious injuries I'll be happy.

5liverugby just RT'd the forum to its followers - hopefully some new blood on its way!

New smilies!!!!

Twitters going well then Hobo?

Twitter has gone brilliantly - we have over 120 people following in just over a week. A few clubs are following us (Wasps and Quins) and a few others have kindly RTd us.

WE have one pro rugby player following us and have quite a few journalists and magazines following.

Really enjoy doing it - keep up the good work on the articles and we will get even more members.

Wow pretty good Hobo, who is the pro following ?

Morning! Happy Munster vs. Leinster day!

I just wish leicester sarries wasnt on ESPN.

Oh we went bust, back to page one so

Sad, sad day. Gil Scott Heron has died.

I really hope he can continue, but what he has done already is momentous.

Morning all. In a knot again

Looks like "Rated X By An All-White Jury" will be on in the Alfonso residence later. Soon all our iconoclasts will be gone, leaving us awash in a mire of Ronan Keatings and Katy Perrys.

Fellas,

A fantasy rugby league has made it's way over to 606v2 from the old BBC 606. It's a successful league that's in it's fourth season, comprised of some of the best teams in Europe. We have some vacancies currently - if you're interested in taking a team please let me know.

Follow this link and look around - feel free to ask any questions.

Remember the Ulster shirts from before?

http://www.uafc.co.uk/forum/download/file.php?id=1465

The Cartoon shirt is just a Supporters jersey, not a playing shirt. Our European shirts and Hone shirts remain the same.

I think it's a bit ridiculous that we had the change shirt from last season, which we wore twice and only once in a competitive game, and that's been changed now to another change shirt. The blue European shirt we wore once in a competitive game.

Quite a racket, but if it helps UR then I'm okay with it. I never buy rugby shirts, don't own an Ulster shirt. Might fancy one of those hoodies however.

Sorry pull, doesn't look like my thing but best of luck with it

Afternoon all.

Bit weird in the flat at the moment, it feels very empty now that Francois has moved out most of his stuff. Just realised I need to buy a fair few replacement bowls, plates, glasses etc so a shopping trip is planned for me later, well for whenever it stops bloody raining anyway, tis a miserable day outside today.

Might just leave it till tomorrow and just distract myself with the Grand Prix today, and the tennis....

DREAMER - did you see that tickets for day 5 (Monday) of the Test are being whacked out at £15 now ?

excuse my ignorance but isnt it always raining in wales

Mr.S - , shockingly, no it isn't!

Penfro - ooo really?! ah, that is so tempting. Think I'm helping my new flat mate move in then so doubt I could go (plus, I can't really afford it!)

From someone in Scotland

Anyway, Mr Sunshine is just starting to poke his head out and the fancy dressed cricket fans are strolling outside the office window on their way to the ground

It's not that bad out Dreamer. I've been out this morning, avoided one shower by browsing in a shop. Wear your cagoule and you'll be fine

cari - if you want to put up an opening welcome to the thread, pm me with it

For all those who met up with ASBO lst night - he's arrived back home safely. Had an email from him just after noon

Hobo, it's fine I don't think it matters now.

Couldn't you just copy and paste from the previous pub Hobo? It's just as applicable now as when first written.

Cheers for the update Penfro.

Am currently in the cinema with eldest daughter about to watch Pirates of the Caribbean 4, will have to catch up on todays rugby tonight.

Just had Snow White, Prince Charming & the 7 'vertically challenged' walk passed the office, followed shortly by several Father Christmas' including one with a camels head

LCD - can we have a review please. The original was , II was , the III was absolute

No worries Penfro, and I agree with your review of the first three.

If the law of diminishing returns applies here, I wouldn't hold much hope for IV.

I braved the outdoors and managed to get myself a 16 piece set of dishes from a shop for under £30, happy with that. Not so happy with the how heavy it all was to carry it back to the flat, my poor arms!

I have seen the 4th Pirates film and I actually quite liked it, better than the 3rd anyway I thought.

Afternoon all. Ensconsed in the pub watching the 7s ahead of the Prem final.

Howya dreamer - I hate shopping for stuff like crockery; it's just so awkward to carry.

Hound - yep indeed but at least it's done now, don't have to worry about it anymore

How's the 7's going?

I'm just relaxing with the tennis on now, before I head out again to get supplies for the rugby and football later

4th Pirates film was actually very good. I'm a fan of kids movies though. By the by this hotel rocks.
