| 587727 | 2007-09-06 06:23:00 | Jonski: You don't know who it was or where you read it "in the last 12 months." So why mention it? Surely you knew such a statement would need to be backed up - for anyone to take you seriously? Oh, I forgot. You're new here. You haven't registered yet that "facts" are likely to be challenged, no matter what the subject. If you can't back them up, best to shut up.. |

However when she went to the mine to deliver their lunches, she found there had been a cave-in, and there was no sign of the dwarfs. Tearfully she yelled in to the mine entrance: "Hello - is anyone there. Can anyone hear me"? A voice floated up from the bowels of the mine: " Australia will win the Rugby World Cup" "Thank Goodness" said Snow White "at least Dopey's still alive" |

| 587731 | 2007-09-06 22:24:00 | Sorry, I don't actually know who, as I never pay any attention to any rugby player's name. (Doesn't mean anything to me, see?) I read it in the last 12 months tho. One name I do remember is Hopoate, which of couse became a verb "to Hopoate" but I wouldn't call him gay. I'd call him a thug. To his face. But from a safe distance! I put pro rugby players in the same category as (say) racehorses. Highly trained, expensive to maintain, an industry in their own right, but without any purpose other than entertainment and gambling. Rugby players are not payed for their ability to think. OTOH, racehorses don't continually get drunk, cause mayhem in bars, sexually and physically assault people... Cheers You have a very dim view. Funny how you pay attention to the 'gay' part and nothing else. Maybe you were wishful thinking? |

| 587733 | 2007-09-06 23:06:00 | DEAR WOMEN 1. From 7 Sep to 20 October 2007, you should read the sports section of the newspaper so that you are aware of what is going on regarding the World Cup, and that way you will be able to join in the conversations. If you fail to do this, then you will be looked at in a bad way, or you will be totally ignored. DO NOT complain about not receiving any attention. 2. During the World Cup, the television is mine, the VCR and DVD are all mine, at all times, without any exceptions. If you even take a glimpse of the remote control, you will lose it (your eye). 3. If you have to pass by in front of the TV during a game, I don't mind, as long as you do it crawling on the floor and without distracting me. If you decide to stand nude in front of the TV, make sure you put clothes on right after because if you catch a cold, I won't have time to take you to the doctor or look after you during the World Cup month. 4. During the games I will be blind, deaf and mute, unless I require a refill of my drink or something to eat. You are out of your mind if you expect me to listen to you, open the door, answer the telephone, or pick up the baby that just fell from the second floor....it won't happen. 5. It would be a good idea for you to keep at least 2 six packs in the fridge at all times, as well as plenty of things to nibble on, and please do not make any funny faces to my friends when they come over to watch the games. In return, you will be allowed to use the TV between 12pm and 3pm, unless they replay a good game that I missed during the day. 6. Please, please, please!! If you see me upset because one of my teams is losing, DO NOT say 'get over it, it's only a game', or 'don't worry, they'll win next time'. If you say these things, you will only make me angrier and I will love you less. Remember, you will never ever know more about rugby than me and your so called 'words of encouragement' will only lead to a break up or divorce. 7. You are welcome to sit with me to watch one game and you can talk to me during halftime but only when the commercials are on, and only if the halftime score is pleasing me. In addition, please note I am saying 'one' game, hence do not use the World Cup as a nice cheesy excuse to 'spend time together'. 8. The replays of the tries are very important. I don't care if I have seen them or I haven't seen them, I want to see them again. Many times, and record them. 9. Tell your friends NOT to have any babies, or any other child related parties or gatherings that requires my attendance because: a) I will not go, b) I will not go, and c) I will not go. 10. But, if a friend of mine invites us to his house on a Sunday to watch a game, we will be there in a flash. 11. The daily World Cup highlights show on TV every night is just as important as the games themselves. Do not even think about saying 'but you have already seen this...why don't you change the channel to something we can all watch??', the reply will be: 'Refer to Rule #2 and Rule #8 of this list'. 12. Please save your expressions such as 'Thank goodness the World Cup is only every 4 years'. I am immune to these words, because after this comes the reruns of the Rugby World Cup, etc etc. 13. And finally, if you are female and your "man" likes rugby less than you, he is not a real man and shall be bound by these rules and additionally be referred to as "the *****" for the duration of the World Cup Thank you for your cooperation. Regards Men of the world |

When Deane F reads this he's gonna beat you with his book on feminism that he bought in his non-racist city of Christchurch where all the non-PC people that don't exist congregate to complain that they are the the downtrodden minority. Anyway, that was outstanding. And I will be bringing it to someone's attention. |
