I can't stop myself - I don't even watch rugby as a rule! I've just seen Johnny Wilkinsons waxwork being lifted onto the spare plinth in Trafalgar Square and blokes singing 'Swing Low' at Waterloo and I'm a wreck!

The whole hype is gonna kill me by tomorrow night!

COME ON ENGLAND

Ok that's it then we're home 7&dry Maureen!!

Get your mindee to choose some numbers to give us an idea of the score then?!

MaureenMLove · 19/10/2007 11:28

She tells me the only numbers she knows are 7 and 3! I don't think its going to be quite as simple as that!

bossybritches · 19/10/2007 11:35

As long as that's 7-3 to England we're ok!!

bossybritches · 19/10/2007 11:35

MaureenMLove · 19/10/2007 11:57

OMG, just realised, if England and Hamilton win the county is just going to shut down on Monday.

And we will never hear the end of it from our English friends, still get told about 1966 all the time.

bossybritches · 19/10/2007 13:18

Positive thinking all the way in the BB camp

bossybritches · 19/10/2007 19:37

Megsdaughter · 19/10/2007 19:48

bossybritches · 19/10/2007 19:50

Shouild be interesting Megs!!!

offers shin-pads & body-armouralternatively a number of a good fast taxi firm

TheEvilDediderata · 19/10/2007 19:55

I just KNEW, before I even read the OP, that this would be Maureen

I feel the same way ... but was a bit peeved that they were only leaving him up there until five pm today.

I also get rather emotional whenever I see Jason Robinson. God, I could eat that man, bones and all !!

TheEvilDediderata · 19/10/2007 19:57

Several months ago, I predicted in front of a very busy pub, that South Africa would win the World Cup.

Thank God I was wrong

bossybritches · 19/10/2007 20:00

Errr....... they still could yet Dedi!!!

Beats self around head for negative thought

TheEvilDediderata · 19/10/2007 20:06

BANG!!!

Megsdaughter · 19/10/2007 20:10

bb love the term a glass of Friday Night medicine will have to remember that

bossybritches · 19/10/2007 20:10

Can I pour you a glass Megs?

Megsdaughter · 19/10/2007 20:21

Yes please BB, do you think I could drink thru the mouth guard of my helmet or do you think I better have a long straw???

bossybritches · 19/10/2007 20:23

Straw option for sure Megs- less spillage!!

screaminghousewife · 19/10/2007 20:25

I can't wait even though I'll probably watch with gritted teeth and end up with a sore throat by the end of the 80 mins.
Jason Robinson is an absolute trouper.

opinionateddad · 19/10/2007 20:28

sounds like someone needs to get laid

... or at least get a hobby

Megsdaughter · 19/10/2007 20:29

going to draw a line down the room, them and us

screaminghousewife · 19/10/2007 20:30

OD, you surely can't be talking about me

pointydog · 19/10/2007 20:30

you are being very unreasonable, yes.

You mean you are crying?
