Bearing in mind the above - what I'd like to know for each team is:

1. How is the season likely to go?
2. What are the teams' strengths?
3. What are the teams' weaknesses?
4. What can be done to improve matters for each team?

Any jingoism, sledging or graceless kicking of anyone whilst they are up or down will see posts deleted.

Be gracious and be constructive.

I'm pretty sure the Guardian has pictures of Barbara Castle and Harriet Harperson as its centerfold...

On the topic of Leo Cullen, I know this has been discussed to death before but if anyone hasn't seen his wife yet Google search it (not at work) - unbelievable!

Maybe he's as long as he is tall?!

Either way he looks even more like Wallace than Red Ed!

I have a severe jealousy of Leo Cullen now!

Also, does anyone have the Aussie 7's captains phone number???

by **RDW** Tue 15 Oct 2013, 4:12 pm

My GF hates the fact that Dan Carter's wife is actually fairly normal and quite pretty - she can't hate her as much if she's not a bimbo air head!

Firstly, the girl in the pic is rather astonishing! She looks a bit like Jessica Alba!

Secondly, the woman moaning in the article is a right damp blanket eh! Wonder if she objected when the Scotland (mens) team stipped off!!!

Anyone ever been to Barrow In Furness?

It's like an Aberdeen sized Methil. vomit

by tigertattie Wed 16 Oct 2013, 11:39 am

Methil no moar
Irvine no moar
Bathgate no moar
Linwood no moar

they all have something in common really!

So Barrow in Furness no moar also?

My god. The internet is a remarkable thing. I wondered where I'd heard the name Barrow in Furness before.

too young to remember that one but that line at the end is a belter.

And Aye, Barrow no moar...

You working on the Naval base Radge? How's that treating you?

Beanz.

Meh its alright, grateful I don't have to spend massive amounts of time at Barrow, it is without doubt one of the most depressing towns I have ever seen, and that’s a big claim coming from someone who spent a night in Detroit.

Certainly not as glamorous as spending time on the banks of Loch Lomond when visiting Faslane or taking in the delights of Portsmouth and Plymouth.

fixed that for you sir. No charge!

by RuggerRadge2611 Wed 16 Oct 2013, 12:36 pm

Cheers man, Kirkcaldy is no better. Other's mock, I mock and I do a fair bit of moaning about my home town. However it's the council who are to blame!

My town has been ruined by the fact that unless you work for the council or in a shop there is nowehere to work in Kirkcaldy. It's a town that is in terminal decline.

With the exception of Dunfermline, Fife is a wasteland. Still, hoose is for sale and the dream is a move before Christmas. Fingers Crossed

Also, I worked in Leven for two days. I was genuinely feared for my life. They folk ate thier young!

For your sake radge I really hope you're not the one responsible for selling it. if you are, I'd maybe work on your sales pitch.

by **George Carlin** Wed 16 Oct 2013, 1:15 pm

I spent a year in Kirkcaldy one day.

by Jenifer McLadyboy Wed 16 Oct 2013, 1:19 pm

Dude! Kirkcaldy is an actual place?

I thought the Beatles made up the name. Genuinely the only place I have ever heard of it.

The Dutchess of Kircaldy always smiling / And arriving late for tea / The Duke was having problems / With a message at the local Bird and Bee

by tigertattie Wed 16 Oct 2013, 1:35 pm

oh Kirkcaldy is real alright! The "Lang Toon" as it is known!

For years it was widely known that you had to pay 40p to get into Fife. It was free to get back out as the powers that be felt sorry for anyone who was trying to get back out of Fife again!

by R!skysports Wed 16 Oct 2013, 1:39 pm

Well after being spoilt living near Loch Lomond, it came as a bit of a culture shock to me when I moved down to london for a job

Lived in Morden in Surrey, which has only two good things about it

1) It sounds like mordor and people think that is funny
2) You get a personal wake up call on the Tube when you fall asleep after the pub - being the last stop on the Northern line (which is how anyone else knows it exists)

Worked in Dumbarton for a while - now that was a bit of a scary place

by **George Carlin** Wed 16 Oct 2013, 1:57 pm

Always interesting to compare your home town:

to where you are now:

Maybe a bit more hummous and a bit less rain here.

by tigertattie Wed 16 Oct 2013, 3:20 pm

Too hot for me there Geroge! I'll stick to our drizzle falling at a 45 degree angle thanks!

by 21st Century Schizoid Man Wed 16 Oct 2013, 4:48 pm

Jeez - I though Radge was having a right good rest after his exertions on the Great Scottish Run last Sunday when he was grafting in some schieze hole down south.

GC - see post on Warriors Exeter thread re where you are.

You laughed, you're just as bad as them!!!
Condemn or condone, that's what it said on all the anti bullying posters at my school!

by **RDW** Fri 18 Oct 2013, 7:34 am

That's big words to use on school kids, plus if someone didn't change one of the words to condom for a giggle you must have gone to a boring school!

by des Fri 18 Oct 2013, 10:54 am

Of all the places I've lived, Kirkcaldy was the nicest. However, I did live on Balwearie road overlooking Beveridge Park and it was from age 3 to 7 so I didn't wander over to the wrong side of town either. All I remember was doing laps of the high school track and running round the park thinking I had the biggest garden in the world. Being pals with Eddie Melville seemed good at the time too.
