@grootblousmile – Bugger! You can’t post the article and then Jan it too!
Guess who will plan to get a day off work that day!!
@carol – Ah, the easy life.
@Loosehead – 3 # There has got to be some perks!!
@Loosehead – 5th December appears to be a Friday, great that means a looong weekend! 😉
Will someone have a word with Mallett I really think Percy needs to be invited to do some kick coaching.
Actually I paid to see Percy play in the last Barbarians fixture at Wembley and got short changed as he went off at half time!
Got more than our moneys worth watching Frans Steyn trying to play the whole match singlehandedly though!! 😉
@carol – That would something to watch. I wonder how easy it will be to get tickets?
