I'd love to see the same physical 'honesty' from the football boys; the simulation is driving me nuts; making me far too grumpy for my years. Speaking of which, we must be of the same vintage; I too loved the glory days of JPR, Phil Bennet, and 'that' Gareth Edwards; I can even remember Barry John. There was a distance between the backs and forwards that shaped the game for me. It's all become one big hairy arsed mass; with the ref's whistle more and more the defining element.<br />I think that I might give up on the Amazon 'Cohen'; it was but 0.01p plus p&p. I thought it was too good to be true. I'm currently eyeing the kindle version although not sure that would be in the spirit of the thing; I'd need to scrawl in the margins wouldn't I?Hissyfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06865300919319235353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703706690625306888.post-63395971046195662442012-03-21T16:37:06.838+00:002012-03-21T16:37:06.838+00:00Hi Trevor - sorry for tardy response - cutting dow...Hi Trevor - sorry for tardy response - cutting down time on laptop due to backpain. Tomas would be delighted with a co-credit and no, it was not solicited. In fact, we've racked our brains but can't think hat inspired it.<br />Glad the Bolano's are proving domestically useful - don't need to feel any guilt if you don't like reading them.<br />skcolc next weekend, I think: )<br />Not a rugby man, I'm afraid, so I could celebrate the quietening of the Irish rugby supporters for a while. (Played in my early youth but gave up partly following boy being paralysed in school match. Also general thuggery, biting, stamping etc which all seemed to be expected. Not my idea of sport.) <br />Well done Wales, though! Used to love watching them back in the days of JPR Williams, Phil Bennett etc They always tried to run the ball, which is the good part of the game.<br />But having just watched a video compilation of Lionel Messi's 234 goals for Barcelona I am feeling very football centered.Séamus Dugganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00574186409184247059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703706690625306888.post-8798068545103293292012-03-18T10:42:09.437+00:002012-03-18T10:42:09.437+00:00My darlin' you write so beautifully!

If so you need to buy him an acoustic guitar right now... Meanwhile I may well put that in a song (I'll need his full name for a PRS credit and can guarantee a '50% of f*ck all' royalty).<br />I ordered 'Beautiful Losers' (still no sign) at the same time as '2666' and 'Savage Detectives' all courtesy of your influence. The two Bolano's have arrived (I'm currently eating breakfast off one and using the other to help me get to those cobwebs). <br />When are they putting the clocks back?<br />I hope that you celebrated yesterday... are you a rugby man also?hissyfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03147430231549162550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703706690625306888.post-26274270592652162322012-03-18T09:36:58.487+00:002012-03-18T09:36:58.487+00:00Nice post, Trevor.

Their eyes recreate the world again and again.<br />(Any sign of Beautiful Losers?)Séamus Dugganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00574186409184247059noreply@blogger.com
