Whether you’re a fan of Hallowe’en or not, you have to give it credit for being the last line of defence against Christmas advancing even earlier into the year, a ragtag gang of goths holding the line against a battalion of baubled barbarians

Can always rely on kids for brutal honesty.
Bedtime story time for Miss W. Apropos of nothing she pipes up ‘Mummy, why don’t you run fast at rugby?’
I feel victimised.

A Danish way to sell someone to calm down / chill the fuck out is spis lige brød til. It means “eat some bread”
P.S. Happy World Bread Day, to all who celebrate

Get some deep tissue release on your quad, they said. It will help your knee pain, they said. Jesus actual Christ. I have never felt pain like it (and I have a very high pain threshold). Genuinely thought the guy was ripping my leg off.
Stretch your quads, kids. #RIPMyThigh

There’s a Mandarin version of “we all mistakes” that translates to “even a toad sometimes gets stuck in mud.” A Japanese version is “even a monkey falls off a tree.” But my favourite way of saying nobody’s perfect is the Taiwanese “even wizards make mistakes when drumming”

Great to see Red Roses v USA in the WXV live on iPlayer. Shame about the small crowd, but good to be able to hear more of the calls!

4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.
On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day
So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga

You know your pack are beasts when you move the scrum machine with only six of you…and then realise the handbrake was on. RIP pitch.

There’s a Hungarian slang expression for when a person gets someone else to carry out something risky or difficult on their behalf – más faszával verni a csalánt. It means “beating the nettles with someone else’s dick”

Not saying that I’m mentally and physically damaged, but I can’t walk, I’ve turned up 30 mins early for physio, and I *really* want a dirty lunch and a nap.
Only one more training session between me and the weekend #prayforsarah🙏🏻

There’s a colloquial German word, verschlimmbessern, that describes attempting to improve something but only making it worse (for example, most Microsoft Word updates). So go ahead and add to your German vocabulary the term etwas verschlimmbessern, or “to worsebetter something”
