I am not going to be drawn into a public argument with you no matter how hard you try.

Public posts, especially those of a provocative nature, are an invitation to public response and public critique. It is called push-back.

The great flushing sound of the toilet bowls is almost over. Years later the alumni will wax about their great win in the lawnmower bowl or the shoe polish bowl, the name of the products consigned to the dustbin of history.

Message 1910125 - Posted: 1 Jan 2018, 23:56:34 UTC - in response to Message 1904355.  

Being a Rugby Fan, I can relate a story of a US College Football Team coming to visit a Junior Rugby Union Club, and playing two games, one under Union Rules, and one under those odd American Rules, the Americans were almost dead after 10 minutes, wondering when they were going to get a time out, or break in the play, apparently the Lineouts and Scrums didn't give them sufficient rest time. Only one guy could pass a ball, and it was forward almost every time, giving the British a Scrum.

The Americans were thrashed.

However, the British seemed to relish being able to tackle people without a ball, which is normally a foul in Rugby, and although lost the game, only complained about being too hot in the American Kit and Helmet. Plus the number of breaks in play enabled the guys to start to learn the rules.
