Thanks Saint, I really appreciate your contributions on this thread :thumbup: Seconded And thirded. I remember Bimbo mocking me on the other place when, after a particularly irritating bout of his brand of disinformation, I stated that I found the bored a useful resource. However, I do get a lot of...

Yeah, Happy Christmas all.

Tier 3 - have been for a while despite being well below the National averages to date. I can see why we have been grouped with some surrounding areas - if we were in tier 2 we’d have all sorts of beer tourists infecting my favourite pubs :evil: :evil: :evil: Anyway, have as happy a Christmas as you ...

Also. There are precious few lively posters on NPR. What is the point of banning the few who enliven the place?

Let Bimbo back on. He provides an alternative view and we don't want this place to turn into an echo chamber This. Bimbo annoys me intensely on occasions but sometimes he throws in something that makes me think. Either way I’m an adult so can cope. 1 in 25 is hardly a strike rate to be proud of. He...

I enjoyed the Bath / Scratlets match. Otherwise, not so much.

Yeah, good quali session. Should be a decent race tomorrow though it won’t be an overtaking fest. McLaren v Tracing Point for the 3rd Constructors place is the main issue. Also, its the last dance for loads of drivers / teams.

Don’t miss the Hamilton / Rossi car/bike swap.

So you finally have some international sport hey. The real cricket is currently being played between the greatest cricket nation of all time Australia and the pretenders India. Enjoy your B grade boets. So, you're an obnoxious cunt on all the threads you post on. Thought you might be. Oh you would ...

Faf need to stay if we want to be competitive

Well, we shall see.

Thing is I'm sure like a lot of you I watched four games of test rugby last weekend. Let's discount Wales v Georgia as Wales B vs a tier 2 team in a storm isn't necessarily representative. In three games between sides who all went into their matches considering themselves well matched there were fo...

Based on as UP and most people including sage members have pointed out Teir 1 did not work. I just dont think Tier 1 will be used. I may be wrong but if it is used it will be used very sparingly, so why bother? Because if a group is making tier one work they don't need to go higher? What does it ma...

Love a series with South Africa. Always good to see imaginative tactics, relentless hostility, and incredible acts of mental agility. And that's just Rinkals' posts. Just read this for a second time and enjoyed it just as much. :grin: So, are we good to go with this? Good to go, starting with 3 T20...

I'm not too bad on my history of Oundle. It was known by the Anglo-Saxons as Undela. Pretty good too on the architecture here with lots of Grade Listed Buildings. It's possible that St Wilfred was buried in my mate's garden. The spire of his church, St Peter's, is the tallest in Northamptonshire wh...

So, are we good to go with this?

Lol. If this just turns into most of the North and Midlands being in teirs 2 and 3 and the Shires and most of the SE spared then all credibility is lost. I have no doubt that the cities will be in Tier 2 minimum - Slough and Oxford were already in Tier 2 for instance, I think Reading is very much a...

It's funny how people drone on today that Socialist Bernie Sanders couldn't win, while ignoring that Trump not only won in 2016 but was damn close in 2020 when the supposed wisdom was he would be thrashed. Plus the Dems don't even have the senate. I’m not sure how Bernie could have won the rust bel...

RIP Christophe.

Un Pilier- see what I did there?

I may cut you a bit of slack in early January unless I think you are taking the piss. Comprendez vous?

Yes, looks to be a good schedule. Think I'm going to risk it and renew my Middlesex membership, hopefully will get something out of it. Oooh, get you! :lol: Nah, good effort, I nearly took out Notts membership when I lived down there but just wouldn’t have got the value out of it. How does Middlese...

New seasons have started, & we've got Internationals again, thank Deity ! Rather than have match threads occurring in National threads; & breaking one of the most sensible rules we've had; how about each weekend we have a Competition Match thread ? So a, "Week 9 Pro14", "Week...

Entertaining 2nd half with an exciting finish. :thumbup: Great work by Barrett for the final try. Jack Willis MoM for the 4th time in his last 6 games !! Somewhat more pleased today than I was earlier in the week that Eddie turfed him back to us! He handled the post- match interview pretty well and...

It's busier than this place is, but both of them together fall well short of PR in its heyday.

Pretty much this. About 40 active threads today.

Tigers second in the table with highest points scored. Stop the Count now

Freak genius score by May makes scoreline look better than it was. Not really? We were better than them by a mile. Our pack fucked them into next week. Youngs and Farrell were a complete handbrake on us, though. difficult to overstate just how much Farrell hurts us at times. Stupid penalties, no id...

Another day, another cunt lawsuit, this time against the elector for the state of Nevada. Apparently she is a veteran so that will go down well. How easily the veneer of democracy is exposed as nigh on impotent when faced with someone who is willing to defy the unwritten rules and use the actual ru...

Have to say this latest one was a little poor

The whole Bimbo / Homer ping pong is tedious in the extreme - mostly it serves to discourage others from joining the discussion.

Well, that was fun. Brilliant drive by Lewis Hamilton - indomitable confidence in his ability to bring those tyres home even if it rained and a sound understanding of why they worked better than new inters. He really is in a class on his own right now - Max has the talent and is a big part of the fu...

Angie (Cullen I think) - his physio ‘ trainer ‘ gopher and general assistant for a few years now. She works for some specialist personal performance company I believe but has been with Lewis for ages.

Yes, Farrell showed very little creativity at 10, and when he did show the odd glimmer his execution was poor.

Nothing positive to say anyone? Pleased to see young Willis start and have a pretty good debut? Genge, Stuart and Launchbury immense? Could understand England’s strategy of taking on Georgia’s strength but a shame it pissed it down when the hard work had been done? Clean sheet? Eddie obviously used...

Last years Mercedes works the tyres much more than this years. Sets us up for a great race tomorrow, especially as tomorrow's forecast is effectively the samd as today. It will kill the race if it’s as wet as that. A near constant procession of Safety Cars. Hopefully the conditions will allow prope...

I can’t see this being done through the network of GPs/ pharmacies. Hospitals, possibly, but my guess is mobile units. If you want this done rapidly at scale then you need GPs/pharmacies/community nursing. So this vaccine isn't the "scale" answer. This is the vaccine that protects frontli...

The footballers could always opt to pay extra tax to pay for it. No doubt they’re IR35 tax dodgers. I read that some footballers use the old Director’s loan tax avoidance route. I don’t know if that’s true or not. Surely people wouldn’t do that at the same time as insisting less creative taxpayers ...

Ewes!!!!
