Frequently confusing irreverent with irrelevant. Also ethical investment (not allowed to call it sustainable), employee ownership, running and general sports burble

Brilliant! In a similar vein, I met a charity earlier this week which runs care homes and the CEO & FD told me about the very competitive 90+ yr olds playing balloon tennis in one of their locations. Balloons + fly swats giving endless hours of fun!

BOD got it right at HT when he said you get some, you don't get others. Mine was also prompted by the touch judge missing the obvious Irish deflection into touch from a French kick *right in front of him*
