Well, after ¾ of a season of club rugby, I've decided every rugby team has the following make up.

• The nude guy. Team hits the sheds and the guy is instantly in the nick. No bush in sight but thankfully no wood either. Rugby gear goes on just before the match starts.
  
• The walking tattoo guy. Makes a Maori chief look like a rank amateur.
  
• The beats guy. Headphones on, maximum concentration.
  
• The touchy-feely guy. Everyone gets a wee slap of encouragement on the but-tocks.
  
• The deranged guy. Just about injures half the team before the game starts. Loves banging his head against the wall.
  
• The mobile device guy. Facebook, twitter, instagram all kept up to date.
  
• The pretty boy guy. Groomed to perfection for the big match.
  
• The joker guy. Everything is stand-up comedy.
  
• The dramatic speech guy "Future of the world at stake, biggest game of our lives (since last week), cometh the hour cometh the man"
  
• The hypochondriac guy. Always out for a couple of weeks with a trivial but apparently invalidating injury.
  
• The dirty jokes guy. It never stops.
  
• The Kiwi guy. Every team worth its salt has one :pac:

I’d fit in half of those catagories

So...which country in the world has the highest concentration of breweries per head of population:

1) Belgium?
2) Germany?
3) England?

Actually - and to my surprise - it's Switzerland. One of my local breweries (White Frontier) just won World's Best Pale Ale at the World Beer Awards. On a side note, our scrum-half at the start of the season is one of their marketing reps.


The award winning beer


Our former scrum-half. Like many of my team-mates, he plays rugby and smokes like a train

He’s French. Doing his best Serge Gainsbourg impression. Or something like that.

Good lord jesus Stheno!! Sorry to hear that. I work with a stanley knife every day and it's so easy to get a bad cut from them...but a bloody bread knife!!
I make the kids lunch every night and now that I think of it I have to cut 3 baguettes each time. Probably safer if I get them to do it in future.

You'd imagine any kid would be happy with a ham sambo? Not 3 fussy gits who only like freshly buttered baguettes every day...along with rice cakes and crunchy green apples.
I'd have been happy with a ham sambo and a packet of cheese and onion at their age.

Podge_irl

I’m not sure whether or not I was happy with it was ever part of of the consideration.

I miss bread. Real bread. Bread that turns to cement if you don't eat it within a day or two. Even sliced pans in Ireland are of a higher standard than many 'bakery' breads over here, that suspiciously stay fresh for nearly a week. Feck knows what they put in them.

CatFromHue

bagels are another thing that stay "fresh" or not stale for a long time too

Baguettes with smoked salmon and cream cheese I reckon?

I had a bag of precut bagels and went for the bagette instead.

No more

Pickarooney, best of luck with your injury. I know how you feel. I just had surgery 2 weeks ago. Rotator cuff. Bloody awful. Thank God it is work related and I am still getting paid.

Nah...they're fussy out. Plain old crusty bread with butter. Real butter. Real salted butter at that!!

Anyone see the video of the Kiss Guy playing with Foo Fighters?

They got some random guy up from the audience who had a sign asking to play. He played Monkey Wrench and its actually unbelievable. Dave Grohl forgets the lyrics cause he’s so surprised.

Balls of steel. :pac:

They're pretty bland for rock alright.

Rock in general is so bland these days. Foo Fighters, Queens of Stone Age, Kings of Leon, Two Door Cinema Club, Muse, etc...

Don't even mention fcuking Oasis.

All as dull as dishwater.

I'm a Foo Fighters fan. Seen them a couple of times and they were brilliant. Kings of Leon were good live and Muse do a spectacular live show.

None of them are as good as Tool or Metallica.

I 100% agree with you about Oasis. An overrated pile of ****e.

Oasis are the Darren Cave of the music world.

I've seen Foo Fighters and Kings of Leon live too and while they are enjoyable to listen to at times they are still fairly boring.

Foo Fighers have a couple of very good songs among a pile of rubbish.

I'd put them in the category of bands I like who's music I can play at a bbq and other people (the missus and her friends) will like as well. Generally I'm not allowed to play my music when we have guests around.

If you think two door cinema club are rock, you really need to have a word with yourself.
