I mean, this is get another reason why economists are oxygen thieves.

There really was, still is among many economists, a broad agreement that if we educated our population and got the skills, which we did really well, the jobs for them would follow. Skills first, then jobs would just happen. That was the theory. tomforth.co.uk/humancapital/
Had a quote for a heat pump install (basically a straight swap, no additional work) for £4k after the £7.5k grant was included. About £5k of equipment and materials by my reckoning.
Bit of a piss take no?
Gardner missing two high tackles at the end is more mitigation than I saw for Jacobsen launching off both feet to deliver a headshot to VdF.
But never let it be said that World Rugby left a boot unlicked!
People are so weird lol

Always irritated me as a state-school Devonian getting this from privately educated Northerners during my BA
Looooooooooooool

Yes but that's because everyone is working really quite hard. It's all anecdotes, but I don't know anyone who took two day weekends, and know very few who worked less than 8 hours a day.
ain't true that Oxbridge students are brighter. yes these are elite academic institutions; yes you will meet bright people there. but also & MORE IMPORTANTLY they are finishing schools for the British ruling class, who are not even remotely bright, never have been, never will be.
I have a long standing theory that if someone is white, Oxbridge educated and vaguely liberal or left leaning, there is a subset of opinion that struggles to truly see them as war criminals in a way they do with a Gadaffi, Assad or Putin, regardless of their records.
Decide to stop being wound up about rugby and get back to stripping the walls back... Immediately chisel through a lighting circuit.
Day's going great.
Ahahahahahahahaha
My thoughts on Test vs Ireland ☘️
1. Near perfection from all blacks. Just want to remind you that they were only in the camp for 4 weeks.
2. Defence was solid. Best so far.
3. Line outs are immaculate. Well done Barnsey. Need some adjustments in the scrum though.
4. Excellent performance from DMAC, JB, LJ, PADDY, De Groot, QT and Ardie.
5. Roigard’s worst game. Need to bring reserve 9 in early on these kind of days.
6. Ruben Love’s best performance. He is improving every week. Not a fan of DMAC at 10 though.
7. Special shoutout to Aumua. He looks like the real deal.
8. Discipline is a real issue. But can be fixed. They will work on it.
9. Still need to be more clinical in 2nd half. Can’t allow good teams to come back into the game
10. Luke Jacobson silencing his doubters every week now. Including myself.
Let me know what you thought!

Allowing this constant illegal (all teams, including Ireland guilty of this) rucking also leads to dangerous clear out attempts and endangers players.
It'd be a mess for a while until players learned but learn they would.

Don’t do this rugby culture of blaming losing side to hide a biased ref which WR ignores:
Nic Berry needs to be removed. Using Ryan to excuse red of Luke flying in w tucked arm; just saying one-handed Tupiea is two-handed, coaching ABs at ruck while silent for Ire: that’s rigged
