The two codes are DIFFERENT.

Ummm, can you tell me where I mentioned anything about rugby league?

In the part where you mentioned Catamarans, the Irish Potato Famine of 1845, the benefits of using 2 Pack Enamel as opposed to Acrylic and the specific constitutional dilemmae of the Telecommunications Act (Cwlth 1997). It was truly a brilliant post and had me thinking for some time. In fact I had to go and consult a full High Court Bench over a a glass of Indian Tonic Water and Tanquaray. :D

Should I tabulate non-specific comments with some sort of tag in the future?

Well generally when you quote from someones post one would assume that you are replying to that particular post and not making generalised comments.

Thanks son :)
Now get on with your homework :mad:

What a weekend at the RWC : up: :s hock:

Good to see so many upsets this RWC. Shows that the stronger nations are losing dominance over the smaller nations. Bring on RWC 2011 :)

I really feel that Argentina need to become part of the Tri Nations. It's not fair that they are not as they have proved they are good enough for the last few years.

It would be more of an issue with the 6 nations. We would love them here but geographically, it's very different whereas the Tri has always been a Geographically seperated competition.

Well done to England. A great, gutsy victory well deserved. Perhaps they are finding their form at last. With the talent, it just took a lot of time to gell.

You have to feel a bit sorry for the Kiwi's. By the time they had lost, the Aussies had booked all thge cheap plane tickets back to the Southern Hemisphere :D

*snigger* :laugh: I bet there are a lot of disappointed Kiwi's in France with tickets for the final ;)

I still don't think the English performance was that confidence inspiring. Not like the French one. I am hoping though the Boks have played their one bad game and from now on they stay in top gear :)

Most of the Argentinians play in France, the 6 Nations would be a more logical competition for them to join.

They could make a few divisions of international competition with the ^nations and have promotion/relegation between the divisions.

It is a bit fragmented at the moment.

You have Canada, USA and the Pumas, Aus, NZ and SA and the 6.5 nations (a couple of others are starting to emerge as possible contenders)

We have seen the leaps that Italy have made since joining an annual competition and I feel that Argintina deserve the same. Problem is that anyone in Europe can go to a 6 nations game whereas who from the home nations would go to Argentina for a weekend?

I had a look on BA for Feb and you would have to leave Thursday to arrive Friday come back Sunday to arrive Monday and spend about 30 hours in the Air and pay a £1000. All that for 2 days in Argentina and the same for fans coming over here.

I find the best thing to do with that sort of situation is to play a holiday around it. I flew all the way from Australia to London and then to Helsinki for the 3 days of the rally but made a point of spending an extra couple of days there and a week in the UK as well. Made it much more worthwhile than spending £1000 just to get to an event.
