    Spent the day in Exeter. Now going to be stuck in Plymouth for hours while the Army gets rid of a WW2 bomb.

    Where the fuck is Ethan Blackadder when the Army needs him?

    Not sure which you are being grumpy about. Either works tbh.

    Stop making dog-whistle comparisons to Luton.

    The Highlanders Blues is the worst rugby commentary team Ive heard in my entire life.

    Zero insight, bullshit cliche after crappy rugby saying followed by SBW side line comments of absolutely nothing. It's like 3-4 guys at the pub talking about the obvious. "Mate", "he's got some pace", "he's strong", "the boys", "welshmen got through border control".

    Absolute complete load of wankathon. Makes me miss Justin Marshall.

    (In this thread to not detract from the game which is pretty good)

    FFS. "They had about 8 in that lineout"

    Christ. Patchell scores. Only 5 times mentioning he's Welsh in the post try craponathon.

    SBW is so bad he’s good.

    ….and everyone is his bro. He’s a commentator for the people.

    Apparently the Highlanders are going to beat some teams this year.

    You think?

    Hint. See round one result.

    Sean Maloney & co are so much better than the previous bunch of mugs.

    Food for thought Sky NZ. Sean Maloney is better.

    The bar is so low, it's laying on the ground.

    Caribbean. I won't go there again.

    Obviously only did St Lucia, but for the most part it's a third world rip off shithole. The service is bang average, the prices are extortionate & the food is appallingly bad. The locals don't seem to care that much about whether or not you are having a good time.

    For where we live there is literally not point at all going there. Greek Islands is infinitely better for a 3 hours flight. Dubai obviously holds the candle for service but it's a bit soul less for me. And it's' not much further to fly to Thailand which, for me, is still the king of the hot summer holiday.

    So in summary, if you've not been, don't bother. You'll only be disappointed.

    @MajorRage my teenage son recently spent 10 days playing cricket in Barbados. The players, coaches and parents that went were universal in their praise. Happy, friendly locals, buzzing bars and restaurants and great scenery.
