Posted on by thaumaturge

    POM scores the 1st try. Nice from Earls down the wing and then the captain on the crash ball.

    ” If it stops people Biggaring people inna face, I’m all for it.”

    Not sure sticking a leg out is something I would really associate with Biggar. More Halfpenny or going back a bit Lee Byrne. Think it might be more a defensive thing that fullbacks go for perhaps? Obviously Dan B uses his knee exactly as described by Ben Smith in TomP’s vid, but doesn’t everyone?

    Swordfish Trombones was a stylistic change, he moved away from what I’ve always thought of as his musical answer to Kerouac and Bukowski , and Film Noir, into a more abstract style.

    CMW, it’s really not easy to choose which songs to post, imo.

    I love Jersey Girl, it’s one of my favourites, but how could I not go with the song that contains the line, “You know there ain’t no Devil that’s just God when he’s drunk”?
