PS - who's Andy? I was also sad that Dom didn't make it through.

I'vde done it as well

I hope that Rhydian gets knocked out. I mean really knocked out. I just want to punch his smug little face.

Barra As it's not your real ladder, I assume it's a second-hand ladder. Can you tell me more about its background? I'd be quite interested in having my own ladder. But, after thinking about it for 5 seconds, I'm wondering if I really need one of my own, or if I should just look at renting one. I am dubious of mentioning Wittgenstein in this context, but I feel I should. After all, as he says, ladders are just there to be thrown away. On this note, I have a perfectly good fly bottle I no longer need. Would you like to exchange it for your ladder?

Hmmm I see dMANd has wimped off line already. Part timer.

Totally, Rory. Though, I'm not sure SA will beat Figi - that's one BIG heavy team.

Actually I was amazed that France won. But then, my OH wouldn't let me watch the second half as he wanted to watch CSI (yeah, I know, time to change OH, but he makes good pizza). I'm not convinced that England could have beaten the All Blacks. I think it would be possible, but I wouldn't bet on it. Luckily, that is not a question we need to worry about (phew!). Can England beat France? I think so, based on recent performance on both sides. Gonna be a nail biter though, innit? And little Jonny is now the highest scoring player. Bless his ever-so-slightly-thick little cotton socks.

Edinburgh!!!! Eek, that's scary. But I could manage Glasgow

So France beat the All Blacks - oh, don't you just love it! After months of hearing about how the antipodean sides are unbeatable they are both out. :D Could still be an England Scotland final - how awesome would that be?

Sorry to hear that CG. I'm a mod on a totally unrelated site. Sometimes I don't visit for ages, due to the pressures of academia. But I keep in touch with the other mods, and am always welcome when I go back.

Pah - lightweight! I consider 10 AM as an early night.

England :D

One of the questions we asked first years in our assessment exercise was: "What are the parts of speech?" Most of them did not even understand the question and waffled about how to give a speech.

So have you sent the pm dave? And when can we hope to see a pic of DMD dressed in pink? I can so see you in a tutu.

Midnight? Sorry, but how is 4am midnight? Abnd - what's with these huge pics messing up my browser?

forgive my ignorance, but I'd assume that, if they were that large, that she'd be able to look back for the first time AFTER her op.

Are you and Bookie trying to win the vote for oldest story on the web?

Well, I'm Arts Faculty. Sorry, I'm very confused - was not aware that science students ever studied english grammar. My university does not claim to be prestigious, we're just one of the oldest.

*RANT ALERT* Couldn't agree more Bookie. I've just spent the last couple of days assessing students' grammar and punctuation for my university and am shocked about how their perception of how good they are matches with how they actually perform. And I'm shocked by some of the posts that I see on this site - particularly some of the proposed letters (not those in the CAG library, natch!), that are posted for others to copy and paste. While I am aware that I also make the odd typo online, I think there is no excuse for this when submitting official letters. Ok, rant over - I'll get back in my box.

Erm .... What are you saying here? I'd be very careful about admitting I had a copy of the original agreement if I were you. Not meaning to have a go at you - but you can surely see the problem with admitting this? If they are wrongfully copying and pasting your signature, I think you need to prove this by other means.

Scotland - Argentina. What do you reckon ohoh - are my MEN in with a chance?

Hey, vimto man I love you. Your posts in the DAG are useful. I may not have been here long, or posted much, but I've read loads of your stuff and have found it helpful. What's to dislike?

Hey, hackers Let us know how you get on.

Go on DMD, send the PM - you'd look great in pink.

Bah! Football is a boy's game. At least rugby is played by men.
