    Anyone know anyone from the Suffolk & North Essex society?

    If so, could you let them know that I found a society fleece jacket in the referee's room at Colchester RFC today? I've left it behind the bar if they can work out who it belongs to.

    Zak Hardaker is an idiot

    https://vine.co/v/Md0egWOePWp He's the one who appears in left of shot. We've had a lot of nice words over the past few years. Now it's time for the compliance department to put up or shut up. Will be very interesting to compare the outcome to the ton of bricks that recently fell on Paul...

    Simple Video Editing (CONTAINS MANY LARGE IMAGES)

    Now then. Someone asked about video editing in the GoPro thread, so I'm putting together this set of guides to simple video editing, hopefully in three and three parts. That's three to quickly cover getting video files off the camera and onto a computer; how to install Lightworks, the least...

    The wind at Allianz Park

    Anyone here been to Allianz Park? I had reason to be there today, and I'm just wondering if it always sounds like the posts and stands are on the point of falling down around your ears every time the wind gets above a gentle breeze. It's very disconcerting.

    Quick restart after stoppage (Sarries-Sharks)

    Situation: Attackers have a maul pulled down about 5m from the goal line. Referee stops play for a penalty and to sin-bin the offender. An attacker goes down to a knee just in front of the mark. Referee deals with miscreant, walks slowly back to the mark. No whistle, no signal. Injured...

    Part one: http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2013/dec/13/death-of-a-schoolboy-ben-robinson-concussion-rugby-union They're going all-in on this one, it looks like.

    The forum has started speaking Dutch to me

    At least, I think it's Dutch. But yeah, quite a lot of the forums-generated text (but not all) now thinks I'm Dutch - and enough of it has got munged that I can't just go into the control panel and see if an option's somehow ticked itself, because 3/4 of the options are all in Dutch. Example...

    Curry tomorrow in London

    Short notice this, but if anyone's anywhere near north London tomorrow evening (and why wouldn't you be?), the enormous Rugby League population of this forum will be having a curry. All welcome to join us, if you feel like a jolly good chat about the merits of bright orange shirts and touch...

    Where's the mark?

    Simple question. Late shot on the kicker. Kick goes out on the full. Where's the penalty?

    Warning: football to dominate news as Chelsea player literally kicks ballboy

    So you're 2-0 down in the second leg of a cup semi-final, the ball goes out for a goal-kick to the other team, you run over to encourage the ballboy to return the ball in a speedy fashion, the ballboy falls over on top of the ball, and then you decide that this is an entirely proportionate and...

    I thought I was bad, assessor said I looked good

    This surely isn't a unique feeling, right? Did a game yesterday after a while out of the middle, felt rusty and not really with it, thought my performance wasn't 100% in half a dozen respects, came off, assessor said I did really well and looked good. Someone please reassure me that this...

    Pop quiz: how many weeks' suspension do you think this got?

    Policing to be done by private companies??????

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/mar/02/police-privatisation-security-firms-crime?INTCMP=ILCNETTXT3487 Is there anyone at all who can look in the mirror and truthfully say that if they get mugged or their house is burgled that they are completely happy and comfortable to have the investigation...

    The greatest last-play try ever.

    I've been waiting since last Friday to post this. Bugger Wide to West, this is how you finish a match off. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apeyvJOrvSA
