Mon ami now I know I got to stop drinking that bug juice we drink down here! They have closes Nates now there’s no Zydeco and the only games we got that would be considered internationally is running from the wind!

I used to play shuffle board as a kid, and curling looks like a more intense,macho, and frozen version. Looks like fun...

So the scenario was biased toward those who curl, and against those who play rugby? Correct? [:p]

BTW, glad to see curling is not anything like hurling. hehehe....

It is a game in which huge burly mem in tiny little shorts tackle and grope one another over an elliptoid object which looks ver similar to an American football.[:X][:0]

Mon ami mesi I thought it was something you play on a rug, and a lot of hugging other men[xx(][8D][:o)] .

Ed you forgot to mention that Rugby players don't wear girly padding and helmets and stop all the time to change from one type of team to the other.[:D].

Colin,

So long as the players remember to tape back their ears and wear a mouthguard. The scrum can be a dangerous place.

Cheers.

The scrum indeed is a dangerous place, as the x-ray of my spine can attest. I've heard it described as one man trying to shove two men up three other men's backsides.

Neville I played on the wing. In the short shorts with the blonde hair! Glad I was not in the dark engine room that is the scrum. Home to dark arts perfected by the mighty All Blacks.

Mon ami we now see why the once mighty Empire fell they forgot to wear their padding and hamlets [8D]

Colin and Neville,

I played 2nd row , #4. So, the inner workings of a scrum are painfully familiar.

Cheers.

I played inside/outside center back. Tried my damn best to avoid the scrummers.

<br />Andy,

There is a bit more history than the game namely Paco has taken a comment I made months ago, about the spanish during the Napoleonic wars, as a personal issue.

Col. Elwood,

If there is an "issue" between us, it is entirely on your part. Until you mentioned it in this post I had completely forgotten that you were the author of the comments that I had previously found offensive.

As to my description of our MOE4 encounter, if you perceived it as unduly harsh please accept my apology. I specifically did not identify who my opponent was to spare you any embarrasment.

Regards,

Paco
