Title: Sure noone gives a toss but..
Post by pubgirl on Nov 22^nd, 2003, 12:48pm

We are the Champions of the World! Huuurrrrrraaaaaahhhhhh!

(Beat the Aussies in a nailbiter of a final of the World Rugby today where the final conversion that clinched it was in the last seconds)

probably means nowt over there, but a HUGE amount here as we finally are world champions in a sport we invented.

My Dad keeps waffling on about the UK being World Fishing champions as well, but I'm not sure that counts.

I think part of it means her dad is using Newts for bait to win the world fishing title.

a 'toss' is a roll-in-the-hay. Some people call it a 'f*@k".

'nowt'... I'm assuming it's a misspelling of naught or nought (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=naught)

And no, it didn't even make the sports news over here. Over here we play *real* football. :P

Wow -finally figured out a game you invented - and haven't played well since the untouchables kicked your asses in ninteen twenty - when was it??

Well done. Sincere congratulations - really pleased to hear the Australians lost to England - dunno about the all Blacks losing to Australia though...

After this pain is past I will have to go and face all these over the moon poms at my local - Will deal with that by going and taking the mick at the Aussies local.

We invented Cricket and Tennis too but we don't talk about those!

Well, if I get your drift......congratulations and all that. Gotta love what they do to the language ::) over there :D There is no such word as "noone" in any form of English. (had to get that in 8) )

We can get rugby on one of the ESPN channels now. It's not on my favorites list. No one has days to see cricket.

Jeez Wendy...

I just watched the game (yes, the whole game, including overtime and the postgame).

I am now completely convinced that all of those players are, well, insane. That is a hell of a sport. Wilkenson is a brilliant kicker, but the real credit goes to the ones who slog it out in the scrums and forward runs. Most of those hits were brutal enough to take out a good number of our football players, and Rugby guys play with little cushions on their head instead of helmets!

There sheer heart and guts it must take to finish a game like that it amazing, let alone a double overtime. England made a lot of mistakes, but they won in the end. I think the ref kind of lost patience with England during the second half, and if not for that there might not have been an overtime at all. All in all, a great game and a great result for England. I guess they'll knight Clive soon, and the Wilkenson boy looks tailor made for the endorsement gravy train, eh?

It wasn't a good game, but it was exciting!

It won't be popular hinting that Rugby players are tougher than American Footballers ;;D You get burned alive for that one!

Johnny is likely to get very rich now, but not in the league of your sports stars I don't think.

P.S. Is one of those you KOP?
