To whom it may concern, apart from New Zealand, Florida, Nevada and Texas. The Six Nations start next week. Let me be the first to extend the hand of friendship to all those who are perhaps not Scottish, Welsh, Irish, Italian or Frogs. Some may say this is directed to my English neighbours, but never Jocky, who is renowned for his fair mindedness. Your slag heaps are about to be dismantled and your Green and Pleasant Land shattered forever. Best wishes from Jockland. ;)
A fiver on Scotland to win?Quote:

As a follower of the M62 corridor-code when it comes to Rugby, I didn't realize it was 6 nations yawnion time again.
I'll have a fiver on Wales- poor things need some encouragement.
Don't do it Atheist! I get the blame for everything as it is, but I will not be held responsible for you losing a fiver. Mind you 22/1 against Scotland to win the grand slam....I wonder if the wife has got any money....:idea:Quote:

Some great headlines available.
"Jonah Destroys Wales"... that kind of thing.

One such creature - Baz was his name - would assault our underdeveloped selves with the challenge
"Every spice on yer!" which meant - give me all your sweets.
If you refused - as I always did being protective of my polos, he would, like some ancient demagogue, give you a magnanimous choice - 50 biffs or a crusty.
50 biffs were 50 arm punches from this drooling silverback. A crusty was a knuckle-down punch on the top of the head. Few could stand more than 15 biffs before collapsing in agony upon the tarmac yard. A crusty downed even the most stalward detractor. I still have dints.
So, yes, out there in the wilds of Yorkshire, stalk knuckle draggers with pockets full of sweeties.
League is still better than union, but down here in the Midlands, I don't get much chance to watch owt else.
Classic!
I recall those kids. I even met up with one a few years ago, and while he was big at school, he stopped growing and only ended up at 5'9". I stared down at him from the extra five inches I tower above him by and asked if he'd hit any kids lately.
He just wandered away, saying nothing.
Some things are worth waiting 30 years for.
Guys, your childhood traumas are as nothing compared with mine, mere toys. I remember my first scrap at school, my opponent was nicknamed, The BONECRUSHER. When I finally regained conciousness and crawled slowly home at midnight, I looked at my old man through my one good eye and sobbed; ' father, life has got to be better than this. ' To which he replied, ' son we are merely competing atoms'. I said, ' But da, I don't want to be a competing atom, surely there must be some alternative. ' He replied ' Yes son, you could be a dead atom ' :)
That's great. Unfortunately for me, I'm only 5 9 too. It'd be touch and go whether history would repeat itself.Quote:
