I didn't say you shouldn't celebrate it but what the real problem is beyond it. -

If it disappears from it's pages until the next big event then it really doesn't matter how good the article is or how surprising and pleasing it was they covered it. -

You'd imagine that Nene's unpaid leave decision means the end is near. -

Also went to a Roman Bridge site which has more signs showing the way to it than actual stones recently. Continuity with the past was at a low ebb that day.

As I work through my books on this area I can't help thinking about visits to sites of interest I've made. Some are tremendous full of interest and stuff to see and others where no real effort has been made and really depend on the visitors imagination far too much. I found this one fairly impressive https://www.enserune.fr/

This is a fantastic piece of news and should have happened long ago. Hard not to say it has been down to those Newspapers treatment of RL as much as anything else.

Yeah me too, brilliant, in'it?

I shouldn't let this worry you too much though, when SL dumps the French sides in change over that should see off everything but the stump.

Though it's not like the majority of RL people care one way or another, is it?

Two very different ideas there. Yes the game is more professional which has nothing to do with the Biff and cleaner certainly but has lost something. The refereeing is an entirely different matter because we moan when they do and we moan when they don't. Although if almost anyone in the crowd was reffing I dread to think what the result would be!

French ru did an awful lot not only to stop its development but also to kill it where it had grown, not only that but Degaulle, lui meme, helped the arch collaborator sport to prosper post war. Such is the nature of politics.

Played a huge role in the history of RL and only those who wanted to "clean up" the game would and will deny it.

Because it's fan- chuffin- tastic of course! I shall miss it.

Once when Cavaillon came on tour I was in the Kit washing room at SRD and I swapped a Salford shirt for a French one with the shoulder protection sewn into the shirt itself. I wore it for years with a certain joie de vivre and a smattering of bravado too! Dai Watkins came past and took an interest, he was too nice to ask me for it, and I think it was the only time a legend was jealous of me.
