Also realised that after I took my jacket off that I looked to be in similar attire to the waiters.

 

It's your own fault for wearing a waistcoat and bowtie to a party.

I was playing snooker earlier.

I have just been invited by a client to their party in Blackpool in December. I’m looking forward to a Friday night out in Blackpool, should be fun.

Has anybody ever got a job just before christmas and ended up at the office party hardly knowing anybody there? 

 

Got transferred between Bank branches two weeks before my 21st birthday, and went from an office where I was King Dick and looking down the barrel of a £150 collection, to a branch where I was approached to pay for the last 4 letters of my own  engraved beer mug.

Hope you got one that just says R on it.

Said I was happy to pay for a separate mug and 16 letters, saying fucking mingebags for their own use.

The Haka. I'm so glad that, at long last, the occasional person is actually questioning why the feck everyone else reveres it. You get a country claiming it's 'in their culture' to basically take the piss out of their opponents, complete with a slitting throat gesture, and all the authorities go, 'Ah, yes, how delightful, do go ahead!' Piss off! Can you imagine any other country trying that? And the opponents are supposed to just stand there and accept it, and if they try to respond to it - they're fecking FINED! There's zero consistency or logic to it.

Funnily enough, I think some New Zealanders would agree with your sentiment, but any non-Maori suggesting the haka be dropped would be vilified as racist.  

[Bjornebye]

I think it’s boss and adds a bit of excitement/electricity to the game. Keep it. 
 

Superb

I remember it being an amazing thing to rarely witness when I was younger, but with TV saturation now it has become devalued.

 

I think it does give NZ an advantage and almost makes the opposition look like they are making up the numbers.

The bit I find perplexing is why any opponent the all blacks face, actually acknowledge it. 

 

Why do they bother standing in front of the eejits doing their little dance. Just completely ignore it and go down the other end throwing balls to each other or practice drop goals, something... Just don't give it any time of day...... 

 

I'm putting formal wear into the annoying thread. 

 

Shoes particularly.. They're not comfortable, they make your feet hurt.... Simple as that...... Just wear a nice pair of runners ffs 

[Bjornebye]

Ireland should just start line dancing while they do it. Get Flatley out giving it bifters 

 

 

 

Meanwhile Scotland …….

People who watch golf.

England should counter with a particularly intimidating Morris Dance.

 

That’ll show ‘em.

I think Ireland actually did that once. And Richard Cockerill got England to link arms and walk into them while they did their wardance. they still got battered mind

Telly watchers for now. Undecided on those who attend course.

But isn't that the complete opposite of ignoring it?

'Get in the hole ball!' 

I think that seals the former too.

Unsalted butter. All the fat; no taste, amazing thanks for that.

 

Just to improve matters why don't we make remarkably similar packaging and put them next to each other in the supermarket. That should help. 

 

[Trumo]

You see a puff pastry recipe on TV, and they always say to get all-butter puff pastry. They must think everyone lives close to an artisan French deli or something, because none of the supermarket stuff is all-butter.
