Well, we have almost managed to fill an entire thread while waiting for the rugby matches to start up again. Does anyone have any preference for the new thread title? Seeing as we have had to wait so long for any new matches, how about Rugby - Happy days are here again!

Tired of ads?

What about :

Rugby - Twickenhamus Nostrum

Rugby - Hemisphere Wars (with the coming world cup in mind)

Rugby - Ten yards back!

Rugby - Six Nations Tournament, why do they start with a final at Twickenham?!?

Rugby - Vive la cracking!

Is that 33 or simply 30 feet? If the later was the real number it would explain why the English speaking teams are so good in defense as they start one yard ahead of the latin teams.

I recently discovered there was a junior world cup happening in France around April.
I discovered that because when going to the stadium for training yesterday, we couldn't enter because they were making our poor "vestiaires" beautiful for the future event. Thus no shower available. The coach cancelled the training session. Pfff.... We would just have had to work all the afternoon stinking and with some mud on our face, what was the problem? Now I have to hope we can play on Friday (other stadium, better known for its ice-hard terrain).

Btw Hemisphere wars sounds nice.

The Laws are written in metres. 10 metres = 32 feet and 6 inches. Obviously the England team is coached to round it down to the nearest number with a zero on the end of it.

Do you mean double sens (double meaning) and unable to read beyond the sens premier (a bit like literal-minded)?

It's true good taste and lack of humour are certainly not prerequisites to post here...

Bit tricky this one. I think I headed down the wrong linguistic garden path - there's a metaphor and a half for you! - with the double entendre thought. What I was after was an alternative - or, indeed, opposite - to ravagon's reckoning that anything posted here should only be capable of being taken one way. Obviously, everything we post is loaded with multiple meanings, all of them offensive. That's our way, and we're proud of it. So, Tamerlin, I'm after something that means "only one crystal clear meaning and incapable of being misinterpreted".

And, once we've established what it might be, we can tell ravagon that it's most certainly not welcome in our threads.

OT (there's a laugh ) for a moment if I may ...

Anybody with thoughts on where the Cricket WC is going to end up?
Apparently NZ has now flat-out refused to show up for their match in Kenya for security reasons, England and Australia are still unsure over whether to go ahead with their matches in Zimbabwe (security considerations are involved as well as the, er, Mugabe factor), and the Dutch are unhappy about something now too (quite what that may be I'm not sure as I just caught a bit of it on the radio this morning).
Where will this all end up? Kiwi's will probably have to forfeit the points from a clear win (that may be a little unfair I suppose as I haven't seen Kenya in action lately for a better estimate of their capabilities).
If certain matches don't go ahead it won't be a good thing for expanding crickets horizons around the globe - certainly not for the minor countries already involved either...

Frankly, it's a political football. Just to get things back on topic. And shame on you, ravagon, for posting something off-topic.

The ICC decided only yesterday, IIRC, that the Zimbabwe games will go ahead. Security isn't the problem in Zibwawe, it's purely political. While Mugabe is definitely a very dangerous megalomaniac - something he shares, BTW, with Howard, Blair and Witless - the push against the Zimbabwe games has come from Howard and Blair. They didn't have the guts to kick Mugabe out of the Commonwealth, now they're trying to use cricket as a political tool. Not playing games there is going to have absolutely no impact on Mugabe or his methods.

Kenya, OTOH, IMHO, is a bona fide security threat. They shouldn't be playing there.

My hunch is that the Zimbabwe games will go ahead - save for those teams that choose not to play there, who will forfeit the games - and the Kenya matches will be relocated.
