Rugby World Cup 2007

[oily oaf]

I was forced out to a bar last night, so missed it. However, they'd put the rugby on and even better they'd put the subtitles on. However, the subtitles covered the score so I had absolutely no idea what the score was most of the night.

If you find yourself in a similarly infuriating predicament next week Drew simply lay on the floor at an obtuse angle of around 130 degrees to the screen and peep behind the offending subtitles where the correct scoreline will be waiting.
I hope this helps

PS You claim to have been "forced out to a bar"
Call yerself a Bokker?!
I detect some South London blood in those veins matey.

[Knock-on]

Well, here we are, the final push. Hope without hope, spirit where none was foretold and fire through the icy wilderness of the last 4 years.

Be afraid South Africa, be very afraid. When a Englishman is roused, no fiercer, more determined, canny or resolute beast will you encounter. Gone is the meek, polite, stiff upper lip limey to be replaced by a dour, focused stubborn and ruthless foe.

I give you, THE KING

What's he that wishes so?
My cousin Westmoreland? No, my fair cousin;
If we are mark'd to die, we are enow
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires.
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England.
God's peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one man more methinks would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
We would not die in that man's company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is call'd the feast of Crispian.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian.'
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say 'These wounds I had on Crispian's day.'
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words-
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester-
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

Bring it on.

[Daniel]

Yes Knock On Whatever you say. I give you 15 kings. The Boks.

Can you believe I couldn't watch the match?

What???
And I was thinking how must be a happy man!

The Pumas were exceptional, I was rooting for them while watching the game with some French buddies!

Well, for starters, I was doing this task called "work"

And even then, in North America you can only watch the RWC on pay-per-view. My only option to watch the match live (had I not being working) would have been to pay $15 (per game!) to get it streamed to my browser in a not wonderful resolution
