Email and other Jerome news

A few days ago, I got an email from Jerome. It began, "Hello, my name is Jerome and I am f**king cool."

It ended with this rather amusing joke:

What do you call a man with no shins?
Toe-knee! ha ha ha

Jerome is having a housewarming party today. I hope he has a very pleasant time. He is enjoying life in his new flat. He has some lad friends at last.

Ooops, Jerome Will Mock Me

Oh, and he did.

Jerome came down for the chicken lunch.

He worked on Friday then drove to Hendred to drive a big lorry to Grove. He then took me to the club for the game.

Jerome has decided that rather than enjoy himself he will make A COMPETITION of how long he can stay awake. Seriously, he bought pro-plus, red bull and everything. I dont know how his endeavours ended as I had to leave on saturday evening.

Oh for a truly world-class phsyciatrist.

The Lions WILL Roar Again

Not one to have a pop at the referee in Rugby usually, I hope you will see that my comments are born of frustration.

Very nasty spear tackle of O'Driscoll, bad form.

Lots of handling in the rucks not noticed, or blind eyes turned.

Nasty tripping incident in the second half (also bad form) should have been at least a yellow for that.

I firmly believe that despite the loss of O'Driscoll in the backs, and more crucially, Dalaglio and Hill in the forwards, we will win this weekend.

And to all those nauseating Welsh critics banging on about there being too many English in the sides:-

Populations in the UK and Ireland -

Ireland 3,917,203
Scotland 5,062,011
Wales 2,903,085
Northern Ireland 1,685,267
England 49,138,831

There were 8 England players in the starting line up, whats that, my maths is rubbish, 57% or something. In terms of population England has something like 70-75% of the population - therefore MORE England players should have started.

Ok so Wales won the 6 nations. WHO WON THE BLOODY WORLD CUP TAFFY.

Petty grievances aside, come my UK and Irish brothers, lets stuff the upstart colonials and hear the Lions roar again.
