Rubber Toilet Anyone?

The Halfbakery always raises a laugh, and today I stumbled across the fantastic suggestion for a Rubber Toilet. Should save countless injuries of rugby-club members who get very drunk on an evening out, pass out in the loo and hit their heads on the porcelain. The RFU should make it mandatory that all Club Houses have them!

Actually, it wasn't just the concept which tickled my elbow, but also user 2 Fries Shy of A Happy Meal's wonderful parody of Billy Joel's "It's Still Rock & Roll To Me", verse two:

"What's the matter with the can I'm priving?
Can't you smell that it's out of style?
Should I get a set of white wall toilets?
Are you gonna crap the miracle pile?
Nowadays you can't be too experimental.
Your bounce back poo's gettin you excremental.
Hot stunk, cool dunk, even unflushed old chunk
It's still just a bowl to me. "

Priceless!

Tom Toms

Andy Robinson appears to have picked an exciting team to face Australia on Sunday. I really hope they can make an impression, it would be great to have more options come the World Cup.

The two Toms are on the wing - Voyce and Varndell - and both have bags of pace given enough room and the ball in hand. Just to prove a point, here's a photo of Mr Varndell scoring under the posts after just 28 seconds of the match between Leicester and Bath at Welford Road last season. He doesn't hang about!

Not rugby related, but I was browsing the silliness on the Halfbakery earlier, and two fab ideas stuck in the mind - first one was a suggestion to change the Eurovision Song Contest rules and make everyone sing in Esperanto. Genious! And the other one that caught my attention was the "I'm Not Crazy" sign for people talking on their bluetooth headsets on the phone. Some of the annotations to that one are priceless.

Half-Baked Commentary

As a regular reader of the excellent Halfbakery website, I quite often get a chuckle out of some of the suggestions which are posted there. I came across one today that I thought was really great - not in a funny sense, but one which would actually work, a proposition for Beginners Commentary.

What struck me was this - if I'd had access to such a commentary for rugby earlier, then I would probably have been watching it for a lot longer than I have - it was really only the lack of knowledge of the laws which was stopping me from getting into it sooner :-)

And talking of rugger, Saracens are away to Sale this evening. I don't hold out much hope of a win, since Sale have been at the top of the table for most of this season, and as mentioned before, Saracens are going through rather a black patch at the mo. But I hope they put up a good fight!

Another juicy weekend of Six Nations games await... England v France being the one I've a vested interest in, although I will watch the other two on video over the weekend. I'm also looking forward to going to a friend's Birthday lunch on Saturday, hence having to record the games that afternoon. See - despite what you may think, I do have a social life!

Another nice thing to happen today, I got an email from an old chum and we have arranged to meet up and catch up next week. We've known each other for, my god, 10 years now! Time flies. We met through a shared admiration for Canadian Mountie comedy/drama show Due South, and have discovered lots of shared interests in the meantime. Not least that she is a rather obsessed photographer, much like myself! It will be good to see how she is and what's been going on lately.

Ah well, not a lot more to add today. That's All Folks!
