I am too much of a coward to ask.
It struck me as the weirdest part of the Tiger's message board.
An Ulster fan was asking if, what with their new friendship, some of the Leics. boys wanted to wear a split shirt to the Eng/Ire game.

Thank you, I was always told it was best to leave nettling to the professional nettlers.

What really bothers me is the fact that it's been raining so much around here that mayors don't want their rugby fields to be turned into trenches by the studs of three tens of rubymen. Which means, in other terms, that the match I should have been playing tonight has been cancelled on grounds the ground was soaked. A pity.
(I'm sure Havak will be glad to see a post not mentioning Leicester loss to Ulster, for a change).

To be fair I’m not that active on the board the last few days – that nonce ‘Ulster Fan’ and his constant trolling got on my nerves too much. Assuming of course that it wasn’t yourself? |
No, that wasn't me.
Trolling isn't my kind of thing.
I'm a silly, sarky bugger, who messes around but I do NOT agree with a lot of those posts.
Also I try (I may not succeed) to just be playfull at first but to also give an opinion or viewpoint.
That isn't an arrogant "We're better than you"one.
I agree totally about the joint shirt idea-it really annoyed me that links that did not exist were trying to be formed.
I, as I have said whilst I was being silly, found it.....well.....surreal.
I thought it was funny to say it here though,as I, well...you know.....thought it worked in a way.

I have a wonderful recipe for Nettle Risotto. I just can't find the right nettles for it. Chefs - well, one that I know of - seem to get them, I can't. |
I know about soups and infusions, so I presume it can be done for risotto.I'll find out tomorrow for you, my boss is an ex chef(The Intercontinental) so hopefully, he should have an idea.

It can be done. I have the recipe. I've seen it prepared. It's just a matter of - with gloves on - picking, cleaning and preparing the nettles. They're added about 7 or 8 minutes prior to the completion. So, about 12 or 13 minutes into the cooking. My problem is finding the right sort of nettles. |
I'll ask. The answer will, no doubt, be U.K specific, if he knows.If he has done it, he will have an idea where to source it and what to look for.
More importantly, I am due a flounce at work and this is is the sort of one that I like.

It's a pity about your game, a friend of mine who used to play hooker told me that he enjoyed the mud... |
Yes, mud is a very interesting thing for a rugby player, particularly the forwards.
When you lose, you can blame it on the mud and weather, or the backs who always let the muddy ball slip and fall.
The aforementionned backs knocking the ball on means there are more scrums, which means more opportunities of fun for the forwards. It also means that there will be lots of kicks and mauls, which are rather boring ofr the backs, but, again, a good thing for the forwards.
And, most importantly, it lets you come back home with a jersey, short and socks soaked and full of mud, which you can proudly show to your wife and look at hte disgusted air she tries to mask. You can also tell about it to everyone at work, emphasizing on the wet, cold and dirty parts so everyone thinks you're totally crazy to play the game. When you tell this to children, you also immediately become a person worthy of much admiration (an adult sprawling in the mud can't be totally evil, after all).

I thought he liked it because the field was less hard after a tackle... but now I know the truth.
