It was a week ago last saturday when the Welsh were here, i missed the game due to getting my mum out of hospital. I then made my way to the Station Tavern, on the 44, for the krakatoke. The bus was busy but I was one of the few natural english speakers on board. It was mostly polish or other eastern europeans, I like listening to theur animated chat, even tho' don't understand it.

I'm still hoping for that free-range Gaelic speaker!

I'm hoping that I will be seeing two such beasts next month if they can get over from Ireland for the rugger on 10th March (one has a broken foot so it might be in doubt*

). One speaks Irish Gaelic and the other Scottish Gaelic.

* in which case there will be two tickets up for grabs!!

Think thats where the tank chair might come in handy

Add a taser and there would be no escape!

Is this the traditional approach with rugby players?!

I'm not sure how much use they'd be unconscious

And I'm thinking I don't know much about rugby men! I've only ever spotted them in the pub..

Avoid at all costs...such persons include Portly, his Pal, Ed, Mr Lizzie and Plug. Even Ali a long time ago!!

But how can we tell who are the rugby men when they're not striped and singing rude songs in the pub?

Striped or stripped??

rapunzell · Post by **rapunzell** » 22 Feb 2007, 00:43

Both!

Why rugby players feel the need to expose themselves, I don't know. If were footer players, they'd get locked up!

If you want stripped just watch the beach.
seems we had a streaker last Sat running into the water late at night!

Which is why I close my curtains, says Poppy primly!

But I also have binoculars!!

There seems to be a keen skinny dipping contingency round here, though they do move a lot faster in winter

If needed I've got a telescope you could borrow!
Or a microscope

rapunzell · Post by **rapunzell** » 22 Feb 2007, 00:54

Maybe it is just the rugby men after the pub?

You think you are joshing there, RapU??

How off topic are these latest posts in this thread?!

BTW, had a neb on the way past the garage on the way home tonight (on 26 bus going to Tranent*) and saw no sign of any incendiary incident!

* not that I was!!

I'll have to listen more carefully to find out if they are singing, then we'll know

Cold weather

Also an insult I once used to a flasher when i worked in the lab at Sick Kids. At the time the windows looked over the Meadows and I hadn't closed the blinds one night. 2 inebriated men decided thought I should inspect their tackle waved at said window.
Q "Wot d ye think o that hen?"
A" Dont know I'll get the microscope and check it out"

Then courageous as ever I scuttled through the back until they went away
