My girlfriend has just moved to East Dulwich and i'm heading down there this weekend. I'm looking to watch the rugby somewhere, its British Lions and its on Sky sports (2pm). Does anyone know somewhere that will show the rugby? Apparently there is a an england football game on at the same time which i guess a lot of pubs will shown so hoping to get around this.



Cheers

Ok so they beat the team from Jo?burg. Whoop-dee-do. That?s only because Jo?burg is a crap city full of 2 types of people, rich English arseholes and the criminals who steal their BMWs.










(Come on, isn?t anybody going to get into a pseudo nationalistic mudslinging match with me over this rugby business?)

Official name used to be British Isles, but then media nicknamed them the British Lions, so now for political reasons since 2001 they have been officially rebranded the British & Irish Lions. That is fair enough to recognise Ireland's contribution but Lions is so synonymous with English sport it still doesn't sound right. I'd settle for Colonial Dragons ;-)

Ireland is in the West of England. Did you come here for an education 'cause it didn't work? Frankly I think the Lions should be called The Celtic & English Lions.

What do you mean EVEN the Irishmen? What are we some sub species? I'm well pissed off with that. Well done!

Poor Lions performance today against the Cheetahs. Shane Williams looks a spent force. Got off to a great start but in the end 3 missed penalties and a missed drop goal spared the Lions blushes. Cheetahs came bottom of the Super 14 but everytime they turned on the gas and exploded through the middle the Lions had problems.

I think they were as bad as each other. Too much brawn and not enough class.


Didn't watch the first game but from the next 2 I have seen these are the only players I've been impressed with so far from the Lions: O'Driscall, Tommy Bowe, Jamie Roberts, Gethin Jenkins, Mike Phillips & Wyn-Jones.

I not convinced by Ugo but that could be just from what I've read. Croft was impressive and must be in with a shout. Agree with Byrne and Mears, though shame about Flannery. Most interesting will be the fly half's spot as Hook has done nothing wrong. Given his adaptability it's possible Jones or O'Gara might not make it into the 22.

PS Mick, another thread has started with the correct title

    • Hi mate,  Yeah its very frustrating for sure. Thanks for the advice, I’ve registered it and reported it to the police but they shut the case in a couple of hours, as you said not much they can do.    I’ve been looking around on sale website but I feel like its more stress than its worth unfortunately. 
    • If anyone is chucking out 1 or 2  couch cushions that are in fairly good shape, please let me know
    • Tennis got really popular over the COVID period and all the clubs round here ended up with long waiting lists.   Put yourself on the list for all of them anyway, things might move faster than you think, definitely for Dulwich Sports as they may be about to get planning permission to build new courts.  Ask about off-peak membership if you work from home, it's often much easier to get and some clubs will give priority to off-peak members when full places come up.   In the meantime, most of the clubs on your list offer group and individual coaching to non-members with a guest fee.   And sign up for local tennis leagues which organises matches at all levels in the local parks - there's a league for Kennington and Brockwell Parks which is really good and a slightly gentler one for Belair and Dulwich Parks.  I did this for a couple of years and had a lot of fun.   https://www.lta.org.uk/compete/adult/local-tennis-leagues/      
    • I used Aria on Monday to solve some plumbing issues including a leaky outdoor tap.  Excellent service and a really nice guy. I'll be using him again no doubt.
