I have heard stories that allege Elvis is alive and well and
working in a chip shop in Burnley too.

Ain't it the truth! Almost as bad as the stories that allege the Brits
are "athletic" because they keep thinking that 'soccer' is a sport.
What a bunch of weakass Euro-peons chasing a round ball
around. They should bend and submit to America like always,
since we have the sense to PICK THE DAMN BALL UP AND
THROW IT."


We do , the sport is called Rugby Union and we
dont need lots of padding to play it.

Big deal. We played tackle football when I was young (and foolish)
without any padding. I'm reminded of that every morning when I get out
of bed. The usual locale was the beach and the usual beverage a keg of
something cold. One side line was the weeds from high tide, the other
the breakers. And since I did play tackle football 'with padding' let
me say the hitting therein is an order of magnitude harder than in
rugby, which by the way is played locally.

I doubt if your local rugby is as hard in the tackle as the top flight
teams currently playing in the World Cup in Australia. My old (very much
amateur) club had a couple of Tongans in the side, and it was like
running into a brick wall when you had to tackle them.

Mind you, a friend broke his collar bone when he ran into me in a game
of touch (American) football.

Happy days (far too long ago).
