    Hah, I really enjoy watching the rugga with Bonesetta and bless her, she's got right into it since she's been with me.

    Mrs Meldrew watched the 2011 RWC Final with me.

    She soon wished she hadn't

    I'm just intrigued as to how the conversation "your mum revs me up" goes with your other half.

    I think she is getting sus now I have started to go around there without her 😉

    Anything my mother-in-law makes; I blame her for my ever-expanding waistline. I am also very excited that we are watching the Test at her place on Sunday. It means I get to eat like a king and watch the AB at the same time. I can only think of one other thing that could top that.

    I can't begin to fathom how good the food would have to be to contemplate watching a test match at my MIL's place

    She's lovely actually, but fuck the interruptions and conversation!

    The funny thing is my MIL is passionate about the AB's and loves her rugby, I think we are the only 2 people in my postcode that even follow Rugby. We even went to an AB's game together 🙂

    Jesus's fuck, barriers man!!!

    I dont like sharing any sport with the wife, let alone her mother. If my wife ever took up golf, I'd quit the next day.

    Hah, I really enjoy watching the rugga with Bonesetta and bless her, she's got right into it since she's been with me. Loves watching the AB's to the point where our trip to Rome was centred around getting to a game, although she's a massive 'Canes fan (again to the point where we deliberately timed a trip back to take in an early season super game to watch them thrash the Crusaders, she was delighted).

    Didnt pick you for a bloke with no mates (other than @MN5 of course, who doesn't count)

    #fakenews.....I’m worth ten mates

    @Victor-Meldrew Ms DM and I were at Eden Park for the Final. She said she saw a side of me she never knew existed...

    I get into an almost zen like core of focus when watching the AB's play any of our rivals so not really that aware of what's going on around me. I reckon I'm more exhausted than the players by the end of the game. She shuts up so it's all good. Doesn't ask stupid questions. Actually prefer watching with her than some of my mates who like to keep up a running commentary and offer constant coaching advice. Fucks me off no end particularly as they usually comment as if the game was still played under the rules that were in force last time they donned boots.

    Know the feeling. Went to the Millenium Stadium a few years back for an AB-Wales game with a Welsh mate. He warned me he sometimes got "a little emotional and loud at games".

    I needed bloody earplugs.

    Fucks me off no end particularly as they usually comment as if the game was still played under the rules that were in force last time they donned boots.

    Suggest you avoid watching games with rugby journalists - particularly Stephen Jones.

    They did a steak & cheese roll that almost perfectly mimicked a dairy style pie - they then dropped it for a vegan roll so they're dead to me

    Like you, I have special dietary requirements - I can't eat anything which hasn't resulted from an animal being killed.

    @Bones

    The farmer up the road told me the the anti-meat people also conveniently leave out the CO2 captured by the grass farm animals graze on when they talk of cows and sheep increasing CO2 emissions.

    Speaking of gluttony, said farmer's rib-eye steaks are to die for.

    It doesn’t help that they taste of meat.

    Probably the same farmer burning down the amazon saying, "Its all good the grass we sow will capture CO2"

    Late to the party but sour lollies are the worst for me. Can smash a big bag of those sour Skittles no worries.

    Also the more sour the better. It's gotten to the point that I can't find anything on the market sour enough. I'm like a crack addict chasing that perfect high.

    I would have said corn chips but I'm not really a fan of Doritos as they taste too processed for my liking and they dominate the shelves. I was addicted to Devos when I was a kid (if anyone remembers them) and there was another brand I loved but can't remember the name now which seemed to disappear when Doritos hit the market.

    Always on the lookout for good quality corn chips, it feels like there aren't any great options in NZ at the moment. Love them super spicy but same with the sour lollies I can never find anything spicy enough!

    The chili ones are insane and not the kind of sour I am after - they're more hot and make you choke! And I find the other sour patch lollies not sour enough. Short circuits were awesome back in the day, they were proper jaw-locking sour.

    I get a bag of sour lollies from my boys every birthday, Xmas and Father’s Day. So yeah, a packet of skittles 3 times a year. Very satisfying and a nice treat. As long as I don’t look at the ingredients I’m pretty guilt free
