With Trevor, I wouldn't rule anything out!
Paddy 'Bats' Bamford told him to go home and get his f%~king shine box. Bada bing.
Marta was watching the game with me when she said, "You know, most of these sports are based on the idea of one group protecting its territory from invasion by another group." "Yeah," I said, trying not to laugh. Girls are funny.

Oh yeah there was a massive head-hunt for his services alright. Mick Dawson was up nights sweating.....
I was sure I saw a poster of ROG (with a black eye) adorning the wall of a Nutgrove shop encouraging us to turn in our gold for a quick bit of cash. I mush check tomorrow.
"Tom Sears is upset, but Schmidt is not his problem. And neither are the IRFU protocols. He said on the Connacht website on Thursday: "We do not believe the protocols are sufficient to serve Irish rugby well and I know the IRFU have discussed reviewing these in the near future."
The union maintain otherwise.
"The representative games committee looked at the issue a few meetings ago and decided that the protocols – which were agreed to by all four provinces – should remain as they are," rugby director Eddie Wigglesworth said.
Currently if Leinster want to sign a player from another province then their chief executive contacts his opposite number; the player is spoken to by both parties; then the player makes up his mind."
Maybe not the thread but Joe said something like "as you know we have tried a couple of players that didn't work out because of injuries" bye bye Quinn Roux, we hardly knew ye.
Hope it works out better for him back home.

Doubt it, Ryanair directors of communication spend their time toning down the orders from above, not crassing them up.
Sensibly, he kinda doesn't really anything at all.
McCarthy, who is in his sixth season with Connacht in his second spell at the Sportsground, will join Leinster on a three-year deal at the end of the season and his decision led to a pre-Christmas spat between Schmidt and Sears.
"That was nothing to do with me," McCarthy said. "My decision was made and I just want to concentrate on my rugby, keep working hard and finish playing as hard as I can for Connacht."
He doesn't say anywhere there he was forced to move. Interesting.
