Six posts removed. One nonsense post about stuff that just doesn't happen, and then people following quoting it to make fun of it.

One more from the event. The team in the left side of the photo are a South African lot of ex national team players. My SA brother in law was properly star struck, especially when I got Hugh to introduce him to them.

It was a 7s tournament in Helensburgh, I've got the paper with the clubs on it somewhere. You're right, I think the green lot were the local host club. Quite a good day out! The Scotland RU veterans' 7s side brough the big names that the local union lot knew, but there were quite a few other rugby league folk as well. I'll see if I can find some pics I got of them as well.

I was going through my photos the other night and found this one of me and Hugh from 2014

A super moon photo I took.

Four posts removed. Respect the nature of this thread please.

A pictorial history of John Inverdale through the years. We thought it was just too horrifying for this site and had to block any reposts of it.

Although, on topic, and to show goodwill: one of my favourite pics from a long time ago

I personally have deleted the video FOUR times from this site, three times on threads nothing to do with the guy. $deity knows how many times John has done it. This site has always aimed for PG rating. Seeing that on the site is 100% most definitely not PG. The brawls thread was fine, just, it did the job and may be a bit out of date with modern rugby league, but it was one we had shrugged at and let go. TOO many times though people just could not, and would not, listen on the subject. We've made the choice that it's now a taboo subject because people will not stop posting the video.

Modern maps side by side with historical 1900 OS map, with overlays. A really nice thing that's been updated since the earlier versions.

Mag to grid… well that’s it really.

Suuuuuure, that’s really what happened.

I decided to try it while waiting on tea cooking. If it didn’t have the original series as the hook, I would have given up after 10 mins. It has none of the immediate grip you got with the original, and the characters are not likeable in any way. Matt Smith is wrong, a poor casting, mumbling away while trying to appear psychopathic. Paddy Considine fits the role well. The rest are just … wooden. Does not justify the high scoring reviews. It tries to shock its way to high scores and fails.

WITHIN ONE MINUTE of me posting this, he loses his wicket to a ball he has been handling so well before. FFS...

Crawley doing far better than I gave him credit for in my mind. Solid, holding his end, and earning the luck he has had.

I tend to agree. He is very good, but once the better bowlers work out how to counter his ultra-aggressive play then his temperament does not seem capable of slowing down to normal test batting of picking off bad balls.

The last series of the first one was just so bad that I can’t drag up the enthusiasm to watch it. If the same script writers were involved, I’ll put it down as “maybe, sometime”

Good start by England, getting to 5 before their first wicket loss.

Could be no weekend play at this rate.

The bowlers in the last test got a decent take from the pitch and quality of batsmen, was not their fault in any way.

Episode 11 is outstanding telly. Two ways to watch it: 1. pure entertainment. And it’s great telly. 2. an alternative lens on many bits of modern history. And it’s great telly.
