Dear Baggy I hope this is not a stupid question but what does the term a "warren gatland" mean? I think I missed the start and just want to ensure I am up to speed.

Quite simple Rocket. A Warren Garland is a euphemism for a front-crozier

Wheat from chaff is not cut Kofi, but separated by other means.

But maybe I should have left that for the expert.

A Warren Gatland is the censor's idea of the slang name for a vagina, otherwise known as the C-word. You may or may not have been lucky enough to see my beautifully worded insult to that dullard, Against, last Friday eventide perfect use of the C-word though it did upset a few chubes, led by poor Jackie Brown, the most hated man on the Saracens forum.

Rocket, you've been helped.

Just in case the explanation isn;t clear enough, he is a picture clue.

Is that Hartley or Ashton ... or perhaps Hartley after he's eaten Ashton?

Kofi, as far as I am aware I am the only certified "Expert" here, albeit it's a case of self-certification. When setting up this help site I did suggest that other wise men may provide answers.

After all Kofi, one may be an Expert on a wide range of everyday confusions, but one does not own the site, one cannot set the rules stating "other would be experts, feck off", anyway I like Big Merv, top bloke.

Easier than Google
More reliable than Wikipedia

Have a go if you think yer up for some education. Whether the wonders of the golf swing, rugby, the wonders of the universe, whatever you like. If you seek the opinion of one more qualified to give it than you you've found the right place.

Who knows, others may even have enough wit to provide answers.

Like the Fosters ads only more righteous.
Mind you, I have no recall of the specific Fosters ad. :shock:

Could there be higher praise of any individual? Congrats Jackie.

Probably a statement rather than question Shan, but as an expert, I'm duty bound to give my opinion anyway.

Yes of course there is. Jackie seems to all intents and purposes a decent bloke & I'm sure underneath it he is. However, not only is he despised by Sarries but I understand he is viewed as a clown, more to be pitied than scorned, on Munsterfans.

Further I find him a hypocrite on the "sweary word" issue, reporting posts whilst using swearing himself.

My expert opinion is that young Jackie has much to learn and is unlikely to be kindly viewed by visiting fans of ANY club.

Now, some advice rather than a reply.

What a beautiful week on the North Down Gold Coast. For the last 2 mornings I have spent my recovery time after the Leicester weekend on the beach at Crawfordsburn with my daughter & 3 dogs.

Lovely sunny mornings but a tad chilly. Nevertheless never forget your protection, skin can't be looked after too well. My recommendation for this week is slap on the sun screen

I had initially thought 'Gatland' was UAFC code for one who enjoys "pulling his own pipe."

I write the above as an explanation for the word I am about to write below (so as to see what UAFC translates said word to):

banker.

Baggy, help me out please. Since you posted above that you have three dogs you must know your stuff about such an animal

I'm thinking about purchasing a new dog myself? Which one should I get?
The first ones name is Kofi...
The second ones name is Russ...

Please help, I can't decide :scratch:
