  1. Rant mode................................................ Glasgow University students' anger over reintroduction of in-person exams - BBC News The little darlings want to be able to cheat to get their degree as they have been too busy not working to actually pass an exam. I worked for a Japanese car company as you may know, due to a lack of qualified people applying, they set up their own training school, somehow got accreditation and dished out ONC's to any random that turned up. Consequences were when we got them in the real world, they had no idea what to do, one could not read a 6 inch rule and didn't know how many millimetres there were in a centimetre.
  2. Jumpin' Jack Flash- Those Strolling Bones.........again
  3. Slave to the Rhythm- Grace Jones
  4. Hit me with your rhythm stick- Ian Dury and the Blockheads
  5. I think one of the answers could be "sitting in your seat"..............................................however...................................
  6. Out of time- Chris Farlowe and the Thunderbirds
  7. The Last Time- The Strolling Bones
  8. Is this the right time to point out I have two sheds..............................................................................?
  9. Private Investigations- Dire Straits
  10. Onion seeds that were sown in mid December in cells in a heated propagator are now potted on into old yoghurt pots and the Chillies are now sown in larger cells in the prop, Anaheim, Torro Rosso and Tepepo Rosso to start with.
  11. You'd better add me to the list, I had bacon with Stornoway Black Pudding, that lovely moist and soft pudding, not the dried out minging stuff, so rich and filling it was too.
  12. The Governments Department for Culture, Media and Sport: were supposedly looking into the RFU after the collapse of the three premiership clubs, however I would not hold my breath waiting for anything to be reported or any action. If all the affiliated clubs were to vote them off at an EGM, then we could start again with proper governance.
  13. Can't buy me love- The Fabs..............................................oops sorry
  14. That would kill the game stone dead, no clubs would get any financial support for it and the RFU are losing money so cannot afford to finance it. The re-boot needs to begin at the top, total clear out of the Twickenham mafia, they are total failures, when England were world champions there was talk of the RFU driving the game forward and increasing it's popularity, failed on every count, all the players and clubs are doing their best but incompetence and mis management is killing the sport.
  15. England were run into the ground by Eddie Jones, whether that was incompetence or getting his own back for 2003, I'll let you decide, but re starting from scratch is not going to happen overnight. England have some excellent players coming through the academies, whether we have the coaches to get the best out of them is open for debate, but ex England coaches are doing the business elsewhere, so have the RFU been constantly getting it wrong since 2003, the evidence points to them being the common denominator here. Take away the salary cap for example and English clubs could compete with any club in europe, they are hamstringing themselves, but if we are not careful, English rugby could end up like Scottish soccer, basically only two teams competing for the trophies and the National football team wins nothing.
  16. I don't class fishing as a sport, but there are plenty of parts of it that fit your criteria, the World Marlin Championship fits all of those, but then there are some who think Sheep Dog Trials are a sport as well and shooting clay pigeons(which is an Olympic "sport")
  17. Diamonds in the soles of her shoes-Paul Simon
  18. Another one bites the dust- Queen
  19. Lick my decals off baby- Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band
  20. The Calcutta Cup match is always a good one, can Scotland cope with the pressure of being favourites? They have a season ending disaster if they do lose and really England have little to lose. Going on the selections made by Borthwick, he is experimenting, which is a good thing, but one does wonder if this is the game to do that, kudos if it pays off, but I think three home wins looks likely this weekend.
  21. The girl can't help it- Little Richard
