Following a comment like that I take it that you're not "the" John Bishop of Beckenham? But another ...

Yes I am, but surely I'm allowed a few dislikes... such as in no particular order: Portsmouth FC, the Great Western Railway, Margaret Thatcher, gassy keg beer.

Goodness me I'll have to cover the ears of my ankle-biters next time we go to Langley. :-) Out of interest you aren't also the same John Bishop who's been posting to uk.legal.moderated recently are you?

BTW any vacancies for new members in the bwwmrc? I've just got myself settled in my the new office in Croydon (was in Westminster) and finding that I'm actually starting to get a bit of free time in the evenings.

Don't forget bottom-posting too.

Yes, but whilst RL had the edge on ball handling and tackling skills, scrums were always a joke. None of the black arts taught to me in my first year of open rugby.

Can't argue with that. I have to say that I'd like to see proper scrummaging back in RL, but fighting that corner is a lost cause!

I'd sooner watch RU than soccer, but it still would fall well behind RL & cricket in my sporting lists.
