Would anybody's friend have a link for my friend?

Sad news indeed. RIP, a real character who never failed to entertain.

20 years. Hats off to you, and thank you for the support you offer on here

Sorry to harp on, but I just found this, a really fun video

Cover versions? Muppet.

Cover versions are fine, but it's best if they're not totally murdering the song! No mention yet for In My Time of Dying or the Rain Song

Been listening to a lot of LZ recently, and am amazed to rediscover the variety of great stuff they produced. I would be interested to read what others think.

Currently, my favourites are
Since I've Been Loving You
When the Levee Breaks
No Quarter
Fool in the Rain

But tomorrow it could be a ...

Well I decided I would have a drink on Xmas eve and Xmas day. So I did. Fell asleep after a bottle of wine, felt rough in the morning, and was actually relieved to go without on boxing day.
To be honest, I was seeking to prove to myself that I could have a drink, the exact opposite of when I gave ...

Can anyone recommend any good podcasts - I'm sure it's been mentioned before. Particularly any on getting over the mental hump of "never again"

Don't have any podcasts on that specific issue, but my attitude has been not to think "never again", but rather "not today". To think of never for me ...

I have a 5 year old and 7 month old, fuzziness is just me for now...

Although think it has got worse since dropping off the exercise

How’s your sweet tooth?

When I was drinking I never had desserts or sweets or the like. Probably getting enough sugar from the wine and beer.

But since ...

6 months off it for me. All good so far, even starting to get used to the different sleeping patterns

I was really impressed with Horne after he came on today. Our attack seems to have more fizz with him on and his pace to the ruck and support lines prevent players getting isolated

England so scared of being banned for illegal tackles they've decided not to make any

Was watching the women's football yesterday and deep into injury with a couple of mins to go my phone beeped with a notification that the dagon dykes had won it! Will lock my phone in the car for any tight RWC games

If Farrell cops a ban in the appeal would it include this weekend's game or not?

Has anyone of any relevance in the world of rugby condemned this decision publicly? The wider repercussions in terms of what is acceptable in contact are horrendous.
Really impressed by the reactions of English posters on this.

Would they have reached the same decision if the ref had issued a straight red on the field? This stinks, and presumably sets a precedent where any head contact is excused if another player is involved in the tackle

Steyn

Pleased with that, all in all. Mind you it would have been gutting in a tournament. Our best 23 seems pretty clear, and the character to keep coming back from 2+ scores down is a credit to all of them.
The great thing is we are still improving, and since we need to peak right at the start of the RWC ...

Kinghorn should have put the kick into the stand. Oh well

Decent first half. Too many penalties given away but solid in defence. Line-out is a lot better. Might see more from the midfield as the game goes on

Amazed fra didn't take the scrum

Some start!

Straight red and pen try

When did England last score a try?

Please someone turn the bloody music off. My eyes are bleeding from the shit rugby, I don't need earache as well

Dunno about WR stitching us up so much. We fucked up in 2019 and didn't deserve to get out of that group. I agree ire and sa are the two teams we are least likely to beat, even with our record against NZ.
Just hope we can produce decent performances, and this really talented squad do themselves ...

Great player, great career. All the best to him, and fond memories of some truly magical moments

Very sad. Only 56 and apparently suffered terrible mental health problems

Mick Jagger is 80. What are boredies favourite Stones numbers.

So many to choose from but I always enjoy
Gimme Shelter
Sister Morphine
Paint it Black

One of the greats of Scottish rugby. Pity he can't have the murrayfield send off he deserves

Woakes, Wood and Ali in for Pope, Anderson and Tongue. So Brook at 3 and Stokes at 5. Pleased to see Wood there, but not sure of Brook up the order, and with Stokes hardly able to run the lower middle order is a worry

My friend was wondering if anyone might have a friend with a link

Wasn't he born in New York? They seem to like narcissistic fat liars over there. All hail president Boris

Rain in my Heart is fucking indescribably grim and depressing, particularly so because I know I was not a long way from being one of them.

The people it documents are obviously at the end stage of the consequences of the addiction, and I hope ...

An old friend lost her fight to booze last week.
50 years old.
Liver destroyed. Dead.
Shit.

Bloody hell, that's tough. It hits home as that could so easily have been me if I hadn't stopped.

That was the case with my wife, at the age of 54. In the end she died in her sleep in our bed from ...

Fantastic game. Almost forgot leinster hit the post with two conversions as well

Thanks guys. I always thought I could take it or leave it, then realised I had opted for take it for 40 years.

62 days since my last drink and determination still strong. Not putting extra pressure on by telling myself it's forever, but pleased with myself so far

Kinghorn is so much better at 15. Duhan was good today. Back row was a wee bit rubbish. Line-out was crap. Front row were ok

Does a losing bonus point still give us a chance of finishing third
