MEN CHOKE IN FRONT OF LARGE CROWD
49,000 spectators watched helplessly yesterday as 15 sportsmen choked in front of them, apparently after being force-fed a large slice of humble pie. A doctor attending the scene said that the men had a medical history of this sort of thing: apparently it also happened in 2000 in Edinburgh, Wembley in 1999 and Landsdowne in 2001.

IN MEMORIAM
Slam, G : passed away, 7th Feb 2004.
Sorely missed by Clive and the boys.

[Big thanks to Adrian]

I had a strong feeling that Ireland were going to beat England today so I went in the kitchen and started baking. The aroma of a freshly cooked Gary Rhodes chocolate treacle sandwich cake can do wonders for a man gutted by his team losing the chance of winning the Grand Slam…

Gert has great pictures of the Sweet Chariot parade.

Here’s a little greeting to the England squad from Wales [with thanks to Huwge]

This Friday night, how about taking the time to settle down with a good book and a bottle of plonk…

Still basking/wallowing in Rugby World Cup glory/self-pity? You might like some Johnny Wilkinson and Martin Johnson wallpaper. Or maybe a chuckle [via Gert] at a current ebay auction. With some very generous bonus offers…

Will Carling and friend demonstrate their life saving skills.

Still licking the wounds after a dreadful weekend. Normal service will be resumed shortly.

Postscript: Lest anyone should think that your host is [gritted teeth] English, may I remind them that as an ex-pat Welsh person living in England, I believe it my duty [clenched fists] to transfer loyalties to the England rugby squad as soon as the Welsh squad have left Australia. Aythangyew.

With apologies to Spengy
