I'm watching the rugby - NZ vs France and what a game it's proving to be.
There are some things that I still don't understand though as the rules keep changing. Maybe Richard could assist me. He was, after all, one of those players who stood around doing incomprehensible things - forwards they called them. I don't know what position Robert played at school rugby - probably leading the rosary at half-time.
Anyway, I remember there was a rule that called for a penalty for 'putting the ball beneath your own hooker's feet' in the scrums. Has this gone now? Every time a half-back now puts in the ball at a scrum, he (or she) clearly tosses the ball beneath his own hooker's feet. What's that about?
I will have more questions but as the half-time break is finished I have to get back to the match.

TMO the winner again.
Rugby wasn't the winner today.
Agreed.
I wonder about that hooker thing too. And that business of lifting a player in the line out is ridiculous.
I don’t think that Richard had to worry about being lifted in lineouts.

Rules change over the years.
just like how priests and brothers aren't supposed to touch young boys' dicks anymore.
Do you mean that they were allowed to before?
It's all OK now. Robert says that his Church has it sorted and those that are still angry can take some comfort in knowing that the God we worship is just. There will be eternal damnation for the unrepentant or long suffering for some in purgatory! The worst thing about hell will be the disgrace and humiliation of sins on earth. There will be no sympathy from others there.
I guess that will show them, the naught things.
Of course anyone can become a member of The (Catholic) Church, go to the sacrament of Penance, pleading his case to the appointed priest and be confident of mercy when there is contrition.
I get by with just tossing in the odd 'mea culpa'.
