Just started reading "The Cuckoo's Calling" by "Robert" Galbraith. Encouraging start. -

Nepotism is best kept within the family. Seriously, I seems like a good appointment - an up and coming young coach highly motivated to use the opportunity as a stepping stone to head coach in NRL.

Late last night, two helicopters flew over our caravan , really low, at just a few hundred feet...several times...second night in succession. They did not show up on Flightradar24.com tracker. -
the "our ailments" thread
JohnM replied to graveyard johnny's topic in Any Other Business / Any Other Sports
When people greet me with , " Hi, JohnM. How's things? " I've stopped replying, "Fine, thanks" because they don't really want to know, it's just a routine greeting. Instead, I say, " Ah, I'm glad you asked. In fact, I'm seldom free from pain these days. Let me tell you about it. It starts in my ankles...." For some unknown reason, they don't ask again.... -
I finally got fired from my job, even though I maintain that I always gave 100%. However, at the tribunal they said.... 'That's not how you mark exams'

Its not an attack. In any case , the code of conduct didn't apply to a recent topic on the main forum.

Looks like you've lost your way yet again,sonny. This is AOB, not leftwing ignorant bigots (aka political sub forum)

There were always spectacular crowds at Tyburn for public hangings and at the Place de La Revolution for guillotinings. The Sun has the highest newspaper circulation and the Daily Mail the busiest web site. Doesn't make them any good though.

Trains, Planes & Automobiles
JohnM replied to Futtocks's topic in Any Other Business / Any Other Sports
Motorbiking is the way forward. Much better fuel consumption than cars. I get around 65 mpg. 22 of us on a social ride-out yesterday, Sunday. 22 bikes at an average of 50 mpg (several BMW 1600s, 1200GSs, KTM 1290s etc) By my calculations that's 2.27 miles per gallon. We should have hired a coach instead? -
George Hotel Museum not going ahead (Merged Threads)
JohnM replied to Tommygilf's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
No. But it could if it were part of a wider "Rugby League Cares on the road " initiative in addition to a fixed location. Perhaps the very word "museum" needs replacing with something like "festival". -
George Hotel Museum not going ahead (Merged Threads)
JohnM replied to Tommygilf's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Good point indeed. Of course, like any critic of anything or anyone these days, I don't need facts to support my case. However, the Twickers example supports the case for not having the museum at any stadium. Only those making the pilgrimage on their hands and knees on the Path of the Blessed St. Inverdale from Rugby School to Twickenham ever get there. Hardly the best spot for passing sports fan trade. Some history of the National Football Museum here, including funding. Museum History - National Football Museum Looks like a model for us to follow. chances are slim though, as one may think that Rugby League Cares have already taken the time to look into that. But Hudds? No. Waste of time and money.
