Bon Voyage Skippy.Kermit and.. to be continued

[Piglet]

I'm not really into sport involving balls but I did watch the last few minutes of it last night, well done to the boys....let's see who we get next...

Our local pub isn't very far away from us and the noise coming out of the place was unreal - it sounded like a good party 

[Leftie]

We are there, so who against is immeterial but I have my preferences:-

Gentleman's Game:-

Goucho's, we beat them in the Falklands!

Springboks, we beat them in the Boer War! but they did screw us for 36-0 the last match.

So the 'boks are my preference as it will allow us retribution if we succede.

Cissies Game:-

Who cares as long as the team gels and Owen & Rooney are on form

Get rid of Robinson and replace with James. Also put Matt Taylor in there.

God's Sport:-

There has been a lot of mind games over the past few months in F1 and I hope in my (Welsh) heart that Hamilton has not been affected by it.

All I want to see is a nice clean race with no antics such as displayed by Prost/Senna/Schumaker. Just a straight 'Gladitorial' affair.

Are we Conker's?

The English and the French are doing battle once again, but in a slightly less physical fashion at the World Conker Championships.

Northamptonshire is hosting the annual event and over 300 entrants are at the village of Ashton, near Oundle - with 13 of those participating listed as French.

After losing out in the rugby on Saturday night, "The Frogs" will be hoping to salvage some sporting pride against "Les Rosbifs".

Landlady Sandie Gardner, 37, originally from Windsor but running a bed and breakfast in Abjat-sur-Bandiat, near Limoges, France, claimed the ladies' World Conker Champion crown last year.

Her home village is now the setting for the French conker championships and she forms part of the French national team.

Contestants have travelled to the UK for the 42-year-old event from as far afield as the US, Brazil, Canada and the Ukraine.


As again we invented the game, see if we can put this one to bed as well.

Right,

Hotel in Paris (2km from Stadium) Booked today for a very reasonable 170 Euros.
Ferry Booked! Damn the only sailing left to suit was a 0400 from Dover to Dunkerque!

Come on England we can do it.

PS. Does anyone have a spare ticket?

[rcutler]

I am working in Versaille at 0700 on Sunday morning, That has been booked for months! Oh how I would love to get out of that!

[knetter]

That was a very nice game to watch. Congratulations on making it to the final!

[Rhino]

Sod it. I know we over performed to get to the final but it still hurts when you lose.

[Lazy B'stard]

Well thats what happens when you pick the wrong coloured rose!

[Lord Pig-Pen]

Would just like to add my bit. I am not a Rugby man and last nite was the first nite I have ever been out to watch a match in a boozer.
Myself and Lady Pig-Pen went to the Old Barn in New Milton with a Saffer who she works with.
He was the only one there... surrounded by white shirts with roses.
We had a fab nite, got well drunk and everyone congratulated him when we lost..... if only that could rub off on the footy lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANKS TO ALL THE PEOPLE AT THE OLD BARN AND TO THOSE THOUSANDS IN PARIS WHO PARTIED IN TRUE BRITISH STYLE (WITH NO ARRESTS!) I am now a rugby fan!

Welcome to the wonderful civilised world of rugby your lordship.


You could spot the footie surpporters down our local for the England/France match.

They were the ones booing La Marseillaise.

Shame on them
