yep I'm here Les - just back from over your way, major dip on the Firecrest, could hear them but never in the right place - hour long session with a very showy Water Vole made up for it tho

yawn

yep my wife has one , great car to drive, tho not on full EV platform but .... been in doctors surgery for 2 weeks for 2nd time with same issue, so rejection imminent, and customer service has been worse than utterly woeful

Hard to believe this but the front line customer support guys at #Polestar in the UK are 'not allowed' to give out the name of the UK Customer Service Manager. Can only assume he or she are ashamed of working for Polestar and want to hide behind their cloak of anonymity

and as an aside,check out the latest Bon Iver album, Justin V is a genius

time for kip - good chat so until next time,enjoy the game

yeah so what next

yeah i did and they should have but Saints have been below par this year so didn't see this coming. They have some fantastic players and I love their backline but all I could see was a plucky English 2nd best. So back to my qn , what now for Leinster.

don't give a shit about the pundits tbh! Would i have put a fiver on Saints winning at the Aviva? Nope,never- I'd have ever bought myself another pint and enjoyed the game

hey I'm not knocking that - English club rugby is by comparison struggling. But club v regional rugby is not a fair comparison- regional rugby never worked in England, nor arguably has it in Wales. but in Ireland it has, and fair play for doing that, whatever the terms

🤪

yeah ... calm down!!

depends on your definition of 'local'

ha! u watch any of the Pacific Super Rugby stuff? Cracking win today for Fijia Drua and just love the way Ardie Savea and his Moana guys play

#checkingfixtures - what's on

normally yeah but family shite intervenes!

yes am Bath member and obviously this season been ok but I'd take every one of the Saints backline - Freeman in particular I think astonishing

yeah not getting into that - Saints are a decent side but no way were they favourites today. The purported quality of the Leinster side should have been more than good enough today so what is it that's holding them back? As for Sarries ... don't get me started ...

think too early to say that but give him a couple of years! Back to the start tho - where do Leinster go from here?

probably wrong!! but I do think Sam P could be truly world class if given time to develop - do not think the Lions pressure would help him in any way at this stage

yeah get that ..and as for the nonsensical quali rules now

as for SP - give him time

nah!!

yeah i do - before 6N I'd have said Russell but, and I'm a Bath member, I'm not sure now. I thought Finn Smith introduction to England too early but he's been brilliant. But .... I suspect Farrell will go Russell 1st Test then change for 2nd. Qn i guess, assuming he takes 3 #10s, who the 3 will be

fine, we disagree and that's ok! good discussion tho. Farrell (Dad) must be confused as after today tho - a few played themselves in, a few out

no problem with the respect etc but the qn is which #10 would give the Lions best chance of beating a resurgent Wallabies. That most certainly isn't Owen

🤔 - very much ydays man and IMHO shouldn't be on the plane - not like he's been yanking up Parisian trees

100%

good points but Owen as FH, God I hope not and I'm English. As for RoG, yeah he always bemused me. Re Sam, for his sake, and for Irish rugby, I think it's too early for him

he may well turn out to be class but too early to say - as for his chicken legs. .... Personally don't think Farrell is actually that good as head coach, assistant yes, but happy to be wrong
