All Blacks Choke.

Life Doesn't get any sweeter than watching an All Black Defeat. Us Aussies cop grief all year in Sydney by "our frunds frum Acruss thu duch". I would like a dollar for every time in the last few months I have heard " the kiwis are coming to get ya". There must be a god!!! What ya wanna be, I wanna be a wallaby!!!!

Just watched England produce an awesome display to put away the much fancied French. What a mouth watering prospect to look forward to next Saturday, England v Australia... can't wait!

Question

Just out of curiosity: what is this to do with military aviation?

Over 1000 posts and I bought this Personal Title to try and tell my mother the embarrassing news that I am a closet Jazz fan.

I heard that Jonny Wilkinson likes the AIrbus tanker, whilst Martin Johnson prefers the Boeing.

Cue BEagle....

England v France semi must have been one of the most boring games of rugby I have seen.

OBNO or should that be NOB O, it's called adapting your game plan to the conditions!

What are 'Pods' and why will they whinge?

Ironic that Australians (with their incessant whining on and chip-on-the-shoulder attitude) should accuse anyone else of whingeing....

OBNO
You're right. It didn't hold a candle to the last Cook Cup match (recently) when Australia took a sound drubbing from England. Now that was a match.
As for the relationship of this thread to this forum
Lt Josh Lewsey is a serving Army Officer (Mat Roger's best mate)
F/Lt Underwood is advising the team
Col M Johnson (A330 tanker advocate) is leading it
The Royal Navy has already sent the Aussies a strong warning by ramming their island with HMS Nottingham.
Tenuous links I know, but links none the less

Hmm, OK then.

But I'm most certainly not a kiss-ball kevball fan. Round balls are reserved for cricket (though England probably don't know that); footballs have pointed ends!

On the pretext of Typhoon duty I had to endure that enormous drubbing (1999?) in the Suncorp Stadium when JW was but a nonentity. With (then BAe) unlimited dollar vouchers, I confidently booked the VIP box mit several F-111 guests from dusty Amberley. My abiding (multi-VB assisted or other Q'Land brew) memory is of F-111 Nav telling me , 'No worries Mxx, you were in our 'arf once, -- when you kicked 'orf'. Bastard. And now we're going to make up. What was you called?

Anf if rugby ain't nothin' to do with mil-aircrew, stick to soccer --

Thumbs up

As an original rugby-playing Scot who has lived here for twenty-odd years, I have a foot in both camps. I will barrack for neither team, but have a sneaky hope that England will get up and take the trophy while I imbibe a few of the amber nectars as I watch it on wide-screen! No, the France match was not a greatly edifying spectacle, in Rugby terms, but this Saturday evening has the potential for a match of truly epic proportions, I only hope each team plays the way each can, as well as taking a lesson from the French in how NOT to play.

smartman, you disappoint me, VB is a Victorian brew, not to be confused with that awful rubbish from north of two borders. Truth to tell, my Heaven would be complete were I able to sit and watch the game with a DECENT beer in hand!

Kind regards, and best wishes to both camps,

TheNightOwl.
