Reminds me of the old joke where a tortoise was walking along the street and was brutally attacked by a gang of hedgehogs . The police came and asked it what happened and the stunned tortoise said ‘ I don’t know it all happened so fast ‘ You can tell that was a old joke by the inference that the police came Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyXIII Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 (edited) Oh no, he won't! ######! It always does that to me when I don't quote the post I'm responding to. FYI, it was the post saying Biggins was in panto at the Alhambra. Edited October 29, 2018 by tonyXIII 1 Rethymno Rugby League Appreciation Society Founder (and, so far, only) member.

ckn Posted October 29, 2018 Author Share Posted October 29, 2018 I've just seen my first "poppy guidelines" post on Facebook of the year. Apparently it's unacceptable to do one hell of a long list of sartorial faux pas with it or to wear anything but the red poppy. Also, we have to make sure we give lots of money to the charity to help show the world how serious we are about fighting off the baddies. And my first Facebook contact of the silly season has been unfriended. I didn't like that cousin anyway...

Bedford Roughyed Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 All hands meeting announced yesterday for today. Could be a fun day. See you on the other side! With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivans82 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Why does it seem that every new announcer on TV these days speaks with a Northern Irish , Scottish or Welsh accent ? How about a few Cumbrian/Lancashire/Yorkshire announcers to balance things up a bit . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "host" was 15 minutes late, the system was configured not to start until the "host" dialled in. But for it being a very important call I'd have given up after 5 minutes, someone else had chased though and we knew she was running late.
