Reality Check - Perception is the new reality according to some and in the media age I think there's more than a scintilla of truth in that view. Now as this is my last offering of what is now known as the regular season I thought I'd start by considering the media driven perception of the English rugby team's "journey" under Stuart Lancaster which has become a reality for some. ...

Driving Force - John had been a chauffeur for many years, most recently for the Lord Mayor of a large municipality. He’d tired of the long hours and time away from his family so had decided to seek less arduous and more considerate employment which is how he found me. ...

Harlequins 24 Tigers 20 - So seeing as no one else can be bothered to help our site out, you are lumbered with another effort from me. 19:45 on Good Friday, what a time to pick! It’s bad enough trying to do these when sober. ...

Diamond Geezer - "Leave it with me" was my father's stock response when we made some request or another of him. Dad always "knew a bloke". With post war food rationing still imposed on the victorious populace, my mother bemoaned the unavailability of sugar and asked if Dad could source a few bags. ...

Could'a', Would'a', Should'a' -- If…. If… If only. If only, we'd converted our first half chances. If only we'd kept 15 men on the pitch. If only we'd got it over the line at the end. Our strong recent run of form has seen several one score games. Worcester, Gloucester, close to de-railing us. Irish, Saints last minute chances to steal victory. ...

The Long Goodbye - Twelve years was a long time to stay with one company (although my father managed forty) where having joined as a clerk I had clambered up the greasy corporate pole as high as I could go in what was essentially a family controlled plc. ...

Dog Days. I like dogs. I couldn't have one when I was a child being brought up in a north London flat and my mother was not an animal person - unless it was on plate. I never really took to cats until a pure white feline adopted us after our last dog went to that big kennel in the sky....

Critical Mass - He was insistent that a service I had rendered should for some reason attract a restaurant meal as a gesture of his gratitude, a reward in excess of the pleasure I had already derived from receiving his thanks and friendship over many years. ...

Inscrutable. I’m told Hong Kong has outwardly changed little since I had a business there, of course instead of American and British servicemen on the streets of Hong Kong island it’s now Chinese military, but in essence it’s still a vibrant money making machine but now for the PRC....

Tigers 11 – 8 Gloucester. Firstly my thanks to BT for their free provision of this game to my PC even if it is via the somewhat slender “broadband” provided to my house. ...

Many thanks to SK88 for the match report. Please click on the link below for the report - ...

Welcome back Mr.Allen                                           I once flew from Liverpool to Treviso for the grand sum of 1p and although I didn’t see anything of the place as I was working in Venice, I always promised myself I would return to watch a game and then go to Venice as a tourist....

Close but no cigar – further exercises in frustration…                                                So old enemies Bath rocked up at Welford Road on Sunday. A somewhat revived Bath after a decade and a half of mediocrity and worse; but not, to most neutral observers,...
