@RacingTV @AJD1Racing surely the problem is the small field ? why wasn’t there 8 horses involved so if one drops out it doesn’t matter so much -

@kev1n1985 have you noticed the arguments about tax focus on where government should go to maximise the take - there is very little discussion about how they waste the money we give them -

@Elbow Things I’ve been telling myself for years - especially the line about paying for beers or meeting c*nts 😀

@implausibleblog so the SNP want to get themselves out of a Union in order to immediately join another Union ? makes perfect sense

@YesterdaysBrit1 That’s Nantwich! Swine Market !

@steeplechasing Much better watched with friends in a decent pub with beer in a real glass at standard prices!

@thepaulwilliams the availability of a complete fresh front row off the bench negates the advantage a more powerful pack used to give a team in the last 20 minutes.

@archer_rs and in this case you’re using it for fishing 😉 🎣- good work keep it up!

@BBCScrumV wow that is a bad TMO call - shocking

[Paul Hackett @Creativerugby]

@TightFive_Rugby No point doing that because most of the time the players and coaches have no idea what’s going on - specifically why a decision goes one way or the other - Scrum coach is just an ex front row who can talk well -

@Elbow It’s very good to be fair - and any song with the C word gets my vote

Watching Ireland Wales U20’s. Sorry but if you want to be a rugby player get a haircut that means you don’t ever have to brush your hair out of your eyes on the pitch!

Rugby being called child abuse is a tough pill to swallow. I started playing at 11, a shy, dyslexic kid from Liverpool. Rugby gave me confidence, lifelong friendships, and opened doors I never thought possible. It's given me everything.

@MarcDavenant much smaller percentage of school leavers went to uni
People died before they were 65 or 70 so the pension overhead wasn’t what it is now
NHS - same -people living longer than before means more people needing treatment - plus the benefit system was a safety net not a lifestyle
