Just Browny Posted April 22 Posted April 22 A little loudspeaker that blasts out "BONG! Six again - ruck infringement" every so often. 2 I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Phil Posted April 25 Author Posted April 25 Not too bad, Moldgreen 22 Moorends Thorne 38. I pinged my achilles in the second half which is an old injury so a bit disappointed with it. Players were complimentary enough which is always nice. Very good standard for a division six game, very even, score didn’t really reflect the game. Big flat field and excellent clubhouse. 9 "Freedom without socialism is privilege and injustice, socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality" - Mikhail Bakunin

I spent a fortune before that on contact lenses and all the additional stuff,eye drops etc. Wish laser treatment had been available in my early playing years in the 1960's. 1
