WALES 26, ENGLAND 19Oh Yes, Oh Yes!!!! At Twickenham - a Dream come True   My father has a heart problem and has been forbiden to watch anymore English rugby!! The point being that his lips start to turn blue and the his ears, etc etc when he watches the match, The trouble is he is not aware that this is happening, so that's why we have had to say no Dad sorry, no more rugby when England are playing. He is 89 years old, still got all his faculties, does some gardening still and drives as well, only local trips though. |

Sorry about your Dad, to be honest, stop him watching English Rugby and just allow him to watch the Masters - Welsh Rygbi !! |

Ant, seeing your spelling of rygbi reminds me of when I went to see Bury play in the late 60s and all I heard in the crowd was 'Come on Borey' !! I still remember it, we sat , or jumped around near benches, it was a lovely experience, everyone was so nice. Going to Sale more recently was wonderful, seeing the good players but not quite the same cameraderie although not bad for these days!! I 'expect' you enjoyed the match yesterday   A |

Especially missing out on the pob to!! My team unfortunately drew with Middlesborough!! Drat!! Middlesborough scored right aT the end of the match to. Really annoying when that happens!! We could've had a clean sheet if it wasnt for our defenders, I suppose again!! |

Cautiously happy today as my offer for a house has just been accepted...early days yet but it's a start - I've gone up the first ladder and so far encountered no snakes! |

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.

This fellow reminds me a bit of the snake on the Coat of Arms of the House of Visconti. |
