    Certainly not what I am seeing @KT53.
    Some of the "professionalism " in rugby really appals me, and I speak as a fan of both football and rugby.

    Ban men's football, ban woman's football and only allow mixed male/female/any other gender teams. That would be the most equitable solution and a lot more fun to watch.  :D>:)

    Nooo - it's breedist. We have a very large dog who thinks he's much smaller, but apart from there being no crossbreeds at Crufts (not even the really expensive ones with stupid names), my greyhound lurcher would not be allowed to self identify as a whippet. Come to that, my pure bred greyhound wouldn't be allowed to self identify as a cat either. She has a lot of feline habits. But let her in the cat show and she'd eat the other contestants.......

    Here I go again, another plumbing problem.  This time it's the on off valve for the shower.  Probably 5years since I last changed it ,  it feels like 5 minutes. As I have said before it's not as though we buy cheap.  Is  nothing made to last anymore?

    Do the dogs have to play football at Crufts now ?  Posh Dogs United v Dogs Arse(nal) ? Just think of the possible headline news............. Posh Dog team member accused of inappropriately sniffing at opposition team member from Dogs Arse(nal) during match.
    Doesn't bare thinking about ;)

    @Allotment Boy.   What a lovely post,  considering no one like the football it’s taken up the past 5 pages. 
    We’ve got a mixer tap that drips,  can’t change a washer in those apparently,  need to buy a new one.

    I sympathise with your shower problem @Allotment Boy.  One of the supports that holds the sliding door on our shower has broken.  Can't be repleaced for love nor money nor mended.  We have to have a who@raisingirl shower unit.

    It's a curved jobbie and installed as a DIY project by previous owners who, for reasonns best known to themselves, raised the bathroom floor level so the shower unit had tobe sunk in it as the ceiling slopes.  This means we have to have a chappy who knows what he's about come and demolish it then install a new one and he doesn't fit local DIY store models but quality jobs of which he approves and is prepared to guarantee.

    €2500 assuming all goes smoothly.

    @raisingirl I thought Crufts had a mongrel section now.   Or best rescue or some such.
