    Default With all the Gloom and Doom.....

    You will be pleased to hear I, at least have a temporary ray of hope. It's match one of the Six Nations Rugby tonight. England v Wales.

    Beer - check.

    Nibbles - check

    Hankies(just in case) - check.

    Door locking at 1900 BST - check.

    Phone off hook at 1900 BST - check.

    Think I've covered everything.

    France v Scotland and Italy v Ireand tomorrow.... more beer and nibbles

    I am going through a similar check list for our Football (American style) Superbowl on Sunday. Sounds like a good weekend for us all

    There's nothing more vicious or fun to watch than your country playing against another.
    And is there a better bonding experience than heaping insults at the others?
    I envy you Winnie, have a blast!

    I am not a huge fan of football, but do watch the big games. It would indeed be something to see and experience if some how we could watch an international game of footbal (American style). Or if we had a high level of ineterest in Rugby. The country interactions by the fans is fun to watch

    Even with their own TV show showing how they are exploited by Japanese fishermen they couldn't pull out a win. They probably need a new publicist.
