    You get delayed coming into Geneva!??

    I work very near the airport and go to the BK beside the Starbucks there a frankly ludicrous amount. If I hadn't returned to the Irish wonderland we could have had a pint!

    The LHC, as a science experiment, is closed for a year but obviously the visitor centre is closed for the festive season only. It's exactly 3.5km from my office so its good for a lunch run.

    Were they not spinning it back up in the last couple of weeks?

    Cheers. If only it was that simple. Modern marriage = split the jobs equally apparently... :(

    I got married last year and I can safely say this is not true. You're doing it wrong! :pac:

    Best of luck to both of you. I wonder what my other half would think if I wanted to have a big rugby themed wedding, small figurines of the Bull lifting POC in the lineout proudly atop the cake... sounds mighty actually. :pac:

    Well if I didn't do certain things, like book the band, DJ, choose the wine, we'd have a wedding where she turned up in a lovely dress, and we'd be drinking the house wine plonk and listening to a dodgy band... When it comes to planning a party I don't mind getting involved! ;)





    Edit: Crap, she's also on boards, hope she doesn't read this!

    Ah yeah I sorted the band and made sure to get involved in picking the wine, because it meant a few free glasses. That aside it was all her.

    So I'm thinking of applying for a job with a big French company with over 2000 employees. I click on the careers section and it takes me to a link on silkroad.com

    Really curious now..

    So, does Ben Kay have any Irish blood?

    Because there's no way I'm believing that's the first time he's picked up a hurley, that's some very nice technique.

    Looks like he's swinging a golf club a bit, to be honest. I would say he's a handy golfer.

    I know a good few golfers who have tried hurling and do hold it a bit awkwardly... I've never seen any of them make a connection like that, and hit it with that kind of accuracy on their first attempt (or even their first 20 attempts).

    That was his second go and the first went flying off to the right into the crowd. He hit that one with alot of power too

    Before I get too drunk on red wine and Prosecco, happy New Year to all the rugby posters. Hopefully this time we'll be looking back at a famous RWC victory :)

    Happy New Year all. Let's hope we have more of the same from Ireland and a whole lot more from the provinces.

    Nothing beats Queen IMO. We were meant to be out at a friends house but ended up staying in.

    If I knew Queen were playing on TV I'd have told her weeks ago that we were staying in to watch.

    Adam Lambert is actually a half decent replacement for Freddie. He has a lot of the flamboyant qualities.

    Joss Stones voice is class IMO. Serious Motown. Ed Sheerans version of Master Blaster was top notch too. And weirdly Ellie Goulding does a mean Michael Jackson. A few duds in there but overall its pretty good.
