Another pointless thread

Grand Slam*!!




... and a Speckled Hen to go with it.

Nice.

* Probably,

Not yet - still got the Irish to go - they'll do their best to spoil the party. What odds on a French referee?

Game was a 2 can and part hip flask one - so 7.2 on the TENSE scale


Steve

Under normal circumstances the Irish would be a concern but this season they seem to be off form. I reckon we are on for it this year.

Are you using Aerial washing powder ??

Perhaps the digibox needs defrosting ??

Is the fridge wired for HD transmissions ??

My advice is to get the beers out BEFORE you switch on the set and stop worrying !!

Tony

never mind that Tony

Nice Rump steak, onions , red wine sauce , haricots verts , chunky chips + glass [ or two ] of a nice Bordeaux , followed by lemon tartlette - YUMMY

Mike - try taking the bulb out of your fridge and see if that makes a difference.

Better still take the beer out!!

Just finished a bottle of proper French Fitou, now it's bed time and hope I don't have a bad head in the morning at work.

I've just helped the wife finish a bottle of red she was given from a client, "Brewery Hill" 2008 South Australian Shiraz, I must say the bottle looked totally unimpressive with a plain label and screw cap lid, the contents were however one of the nicest reds I've had for a long time.
Something to watch out for on the supermarket shelves methinks....hic!

LOL, we're just finishing a bottle of red (from the Cotes du Rhone region) from the co-op. Bought two a few weeks ago and it was very good. they have loads on clearance now, nobody seems to be buying them except me! I have to finish it before I go to bed, not going to waste...

Ah - French w(h)ine.

The idiot's lantern is on in the background and I keep hearing an ad that seems a bit daft to me.

A woman says -

Tescos home insurance -

or

Tescos pet insurance.

I would have hoped people could have worked out which they required.

Oggy - the Irish can't go the whole 6 Nats playing and misfiring as they have so far - they got over the French line 3 times which is a whole lot better than we did. Nope - reckon the Scots could be in for a tough time tomorrow. If so - makes the last weekend very interesting viewing.

Closer to home the boys in blue, black and white sorted out Exeter on their home patch, so another 4 pts earned and up to 4th, with games in hand over those behind.

Quiet time of the day - 2 bottles of Bin 53 shared with SWLTBO = boss asleep down stairs and me in the loft on line. Good eh?


Steve

I have great respect for the Irish Rugby team considering Rugby is a way down their list of national games. Most seem to play Gaelic football and (really scary game) hurling. As you say, having got three tries their luck seemed a little harsh. I too look forward to the game tomorrow. Mrs Oggy is from Southern Ireland so it would be good if the Green chaps won.

That would be classed as a vintage in our house

You can buy good wine in the UK???!!!

We stock up when in France, it's not as cheap as it used to be but at least the stuffs very drinkable.

Unlike some stuff I've been forced to drink here!

There are international award winning wine makers in th UK. www.camelvalley.com. You just need to go for quality not quantity.
