It was one of those days to witness in the changing room at Serps today which is also the weekend of the Rugby World Cup quarter finals here in England.
Stuart Bowman was regaled by one wag who said that "Stu the Englishman was joined by Norm the Englishman and Eric the football fan in a pub; the Irish, Welsh, and Scots were awaiting the results from the quarter finals before even thinking of having a drink. Oh yeah, the Kiwis and Springboks and Ozzies said what will it be folks? And with that, the Argy Bargy was over and done with and we all realised Mon Dieu, Sacre Bleu despite England being knocked out of the tournament that the Rugby World Cup had not been cancelled.
We had a swimming race race today over 110 yards, and Tim was first with Emmi second and Pip was third. For the second week in a row, Rob Ouldcott (England) picked up a prize but Robert Fisher (Germany) didn’t seem to mind giving his prize to Rob.
Yes, in 18seventy something, William Webb Ellis, the founder of rugby, picked up the ball and ran away with it, and the English have been bending the rules ever since.
Have a great week all and love, thanks and happy memories for Yvonne and her beloved Cyril.
Yours swimmingly.
[John Tierney (Ireland)]
