No – Godman is indeed a bit of a nancy boy. Parks is no better though – I was hoping for Mossy at 10 with Southwell at 15. Even switching those 2 would be better.

I reckon Mike Blair is a better stand off than Parks, not to mention Rory Hutton who could be a real class act given the chance.

OH NO!

Parks is back!

Sean Lamont in the centre – Hook and Roberts must be chuffed?

Plus side – great to see Mossy win his 100th cap – top player and real good guy. Well done mate!

If he kicks 10 penalties we might just have a chance.

Just lock it to the rack – conductor won't even notice. Sit near your bike if you can.

Narrow ENGLISH WIN

Easy IRISH WIN

Narrow FRENCH WIN (sadly)

Learn to sh*g quietly!

Don't grt pi**ed and go to wrong bedroom

Agreed TJ – was over the moon when I saw Parks wasn't playing which helps our attacking and defensive options.

Still a bit concerned by the lack of "bite" in the back row. AS you say – this could be a belter if we take the game to the French and not sit back and wait for the penalties.

Dickinson could be a revalation if we play a fast and open game. We have probably the quickest pack in the championship and we must play to that strength.

Can't see us beating the French…..unless they turn up and give us lots of penalties and Mossy does the business as usual.

We won't score many tries – that's becoming a wee tradition it seems!

My 2pence worth – England, France and Ireland to win this weekend. 2 close games and an easier passage for the Irish.

Traquair Arms in Innerleithen is ok

Bridge Inn in Peebles is a good pub – no food though.

Peebles Hydro for girly pampering – swim – lunches are popular.

Loads of riding – email for some maps if you like.

cheers

This guy has it sorted MONKEY!

I teach in the Borders and some of my kids are fully engaged, perfectly behaved, interested and hungry to learn but some are the exact opposite.

I have used a bike to show how anthropometric data is used and it works well as a teaching aid. Easy to be side tracked of course!

cheers

Where do you teach Househusband? I teach C&D and use this data but never analysed it too much regarding proportional values betwen men and women.
I suspect your assumptions are correct though.

cheers

F1 isn't much of a spectator sport – if it is a sport – but must be fun to do.

I won't be watching!

I reckon he'll lose in 3 sets. Fed is too good.

£500 bikes are fine for starters

LOL – So if you can't afford a £500 bike??

GrahamS – I've had a look – can't see the word favourite

GrahamS – the post never said anything about a favourite motivational speech!

I do like it a lot though. Possibly not entirely motivational but seemed to get Sam up for the task he had to do.

Pulp Fiction – Samual l Jackson before he shoots Brad.

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

Come to Glentress – post on here when you do and someone will join you I'm sure – maybe me if I can manage that day.

cheers

Nuts!

There may well be snow at the top of Innerleithen – Minch Moor – I was up there last Saturday and there was still a fair bit on the trail. It's been fairly mild here this week so some will have shifted.

I am not saying they should stop posting. There were a couple of posts on the Global warming thread saying " we've reached 1000 posts – can we stop now"

I merely wondered if that was a view a few more people shared.

Hard to tell if the surfer is walking towards the sea or away from the sea?

He said stuff was "reposted" on Monday – when should I expect it and when should I be asking for a refund.

Happy to cut him some slack if he has genuinely made an effort to post the stuff when he said he would.

Maybe tomorrow?

Duckman – why not nip along to the Home Ecc dept and ask them to show you how to make a decent curry? They should know…………..shouldn't they??

Positive thinking is so important – keep it going and you'll win this one.

Keep looking forwards with your head up mate – as they say around here – "a gaun fit is aye getting"

Looks like we're heading for one of these…

Email me and I'll send you a few decent routes around Innerleithen and Peebles.

Live locally so can give you some other info if required

One side don't like the idea of the other getting better and becoming a threat?

I agree – it's all a bit childish

Well done mate – always good to get a job you really want and not one that just pays the bills.

Deal or No Deal – what a great concept!
