@awyrcoch I suppose, although the pain is worse if you used to be good, like scotland once were. Wouldn't be surprised if you beat us this year.

Can I just say that I get an ad for mature dating every time I log into youtube with a very mutton dressed as lamb woman in a miniskirt on it. It's disconcerting and I don't even remember looking at porn. Maybe my cousin did when I loaned him the laptop and then erased the history, what do you th...

@carlofeliz01 They shout "against who?" and the answer comes "proud Edward's army".

Such a great anthem. What's more I'm glad to see that Bruce Springsteen doesn't have a monopoly on incongruous use of the glockenspiel.

@3tangle3 As a Scot I'm glad the Welsh and Cornish retain pride in their older Celtic culture and languages. It's an interesting contrast to our own comparative noob import from Ireland, although southern scotland was british speaking into the 12th century, the picts were probably british and eve...

LOLOLOL!!! I am a brit and came across this randomly. I can't believe how many people are getting so het up about a couple of little girls being silly. Get a life all of you! Now I've commented I'm going to get one too

I like these Welsh male voice choirs - I find it quite uplifting to think that men who faced the hardship and dangers of the pit found solace in something as simple as singing..... a grea tradition

The US has a huge population and an amazing college system for developing athletes. They'd be great at any sport they took seriously.

@twotellys12 Don't think so. Two teams were quite close - Wales had more confidence and composure and took advantage of playing against 13 men - the 2nd time in succession Scotland have gone down 2 at the millennium, last time it definitely cost us the game, no debate.

@Azureecosse That's not true, when it snowed in London last year everybody lent a hand. Except me. I had winter tyres, so just drove off. But I saw other people lending a hand.

Wouldn't winter tyres be the law in Poland? Surely???

@lewis72 That's kind of their culture though, isn't it? Be more organised, choose which risks you want to take. The Anglo Saxon way is gung-ho - reverse up and down a snow covered hill on your low profile slicks 20 times in the hope you might get up... Any German doing that would be seen as furuk...

@djkmastbruch61 yeah on grass in boots carrying a ball 5 secs for 40m is pretty fast.

I knew an Irish speaker who lived in he west coast of Scotland and he said it took about a month before he could speak to the locals in Gaelic. He also said some dialects of Irish are s different from each other as they are from scots Gaelic, and also different dialects of cots Gaelic differ from...

Spinning the wheels won't help. Just invest in some winter tyres, they'll last a few winters and this type of snow would be no problem, even on a hill...

@rubbishrider861 Hmm. I just find something about him which is nasty and self absorbed. It neutralises anything funny he may actually say. If that opinion makes me "twisted" I'm sorry.

@SeanOBriain & Matt, all Indo European languages are related, they share many word roots and grammatical similarities. Irish is not closely related to German, but they ARE related. They are also BOTH related to Hindi, Farsi and Sanskrit.

Matt is also correct - Southern Germany and Austria had a v...

Why do people like Tim Minchin? I don't get it, my friend sends me clips. I don't think he's funny, he's preachy and self absorbed and, well..... there's something just strangely nasty about him. Each to their own, I suppose.

@gert83 By the way, BJ Mather started out in amateur union. So, incidentally, did Keith Senior. I should know - I played against him. I well remember being hit by (what felt like) a truck, then gently asked to "give me that fookin' ball you fookin' coont"...... He had hair in those days but still...

@lumberjack1475 You're right! Sorry, these unlikely football and rugby wins ('the rugby team won in '99) stick in my mind and I get confused. All I know is that I was delighted with all of them!!

I think Eastmond could do OK. He may be a number 7 in League, but he moves a bit like Jason Robinson. It's difficult to say because he is small and he will be going into contact against much bigger players than in league, but guys like Shane Williams and, of course, Robinson, show that a small pl...

It's BS to say league players are more athletic. More people play union, union has amazing athletes. They're bigger and stronger than league players, maybe less aerobically fit, but don't tell me guys like bryan habana or shane williams are slow, and forwards like stephen ferris or pierre spies a...

come to union Sam. We'll see what you're made of then, playing against the big boys.

Got a great deal of pleasure watching John outside G Townsend and inside Alan Tait between 98 - 00.

There is a rumour in porn that Ben has a smelly helmet.

Who decides what's a "dialect" and what's a "language"? Moldovan/ Romanian, Flemish/ Dutch are mutually intelligible, share 99% vocabulary and grammar but are considered different languages from each other. Swiss German is as different from Hoch Deutsch as High Dutch but is only considered a "dia...

@pillsareyummy There could be loads of reasons, maybe some epigenetic - the idea that the environment switches expression of certain genes on and off.

Mybe there's a psychopath lurking in all of us, just some of us are able to keep the genes switched off, others aren't. It is known t hat normally...

@Drcrazy93 Saying there might be a god is not equivalent to saying 1+2 = 3. Most atheists would admit that the universe has features of design - there are no examples where design arises randomly, and even apparent randomness is governed by laws - it's not unreasonable to think there might be a ...

@mrdude999 You should read the conversation between me and madman12guage

@korkeycat Yes, do it. Pick the weather- go for a dry day. The only awkward bit is at the end when you downclimb a chimney - the foot and hand holds are very clear though, and it's like descending a large ladder.

If you're OK on Striding, have a go at Sharp Edge on nearby Blencathra - IMO it's wo...

Electrifying. Poor old schubert - such an amazing composer, truly someone who could look Beethoven in the eye, but never recognised..... and still not!!

@nathanwilefrazier Oh I don't doubt their intelligence - they can understand language, show self awareness, appear to have names for each other and there is enough clear evidence that they have deliberately saved humans from shark attacks.
