Do you like rugby league? Personally I hate the game, so boring.

Boring, nah, it's great, there is more structure than union which usually leads to a more cultured game, I find Union so often ends up quite scrappy. Watch some of the Australian Rugby League and you might well change your view on it being boring.

In fairness, you would never see a rugby player dissent the ref...

I've seen it but it is very rare and they never chase him around the field or act like spoilt little children.

A very portly gentlemen (built like a front row forward) ditched his beer and ran onto the pitch and proceeded to punch the referee for giving a penalty against SA.

I watched that game and the sad thing about it was that in the days afterwards, a good majority of the sports journalists in South Africa let their stupidity and nationalism get in the way of common sense and portrayed the guy in a heroic manner. He even said he'd do it again but later retracted his statement, as usual its the referee's who were to blame.

Both forms of rugby are boring, well thats my opinion of the codes

It'll probably change when the World Cup comes into town but thats my opinion. Rugby is an eastern state's thing so I'm allowed to be especially critical of it

Isn't football known as "the beautiful game" and rugby, well, rugby is just a game for men with odd shaped balls, is it not? Are you a rugby man yourself, Mr Sleep?!

And whilst we're on the subject, hmm - I'm not sure I quite understand the symbolism of your new avatar.

Bah. Rugby is more of a beautiful game than football is.

Bah, I agree.

However, my most favourite game ever is catching smarties, especially blue ones, in my mouth that have been hurled from across the room.

Now *that's* a beautiful game and there's no thuggery involved.

Unless you have frail teeth and get one knocked out.

Maybe it depends on their velocity at the time of impact?

I don't think giant blue smarties are subject to the usual laws of physics.

Damn those smarties.

To be fair, we're on SYM. We could start a conversation on pizza and end up talking about the values of the pizza delivery boy to the free market economy, but thats another topic.

Because we wanted an interesting topic of conversation?

Uh, question from the foreigner: what are blue smarties?!

Nippy · Post by **Nippy** » Sun Jun 08, 2003 8:19 am

A smartie is a little piece of chocolate wrapped in a full coating of coloured sugar. There are many varities of colour, and all taste quite foul, in my opinion.

A type of candy, and I'm at a loss as to how that got into this conversation.

Ah! Like an M&M, perhaps?
