Things that make you laugh

Your "mate" could use a VPN to get around his access issues

That sounds like too much work for me to explain to him, it just more made me laugh that he hadn't heard of it along the grapevine in the last week, it's been all over FB and a talking point at work, even a chick at work asked me how am I going to cope.

Did you tell her you've been assembling a cast of thousands in your head over 50 years?

No, I asked if she could move her curtain across to the left slightly, my left.

Wait until she finds out the smoke monitors in the women's change room are fake!

That would have been Will RIvers, I reckon.

It's interesting how Blackwood never cops the same heat as not being country as the SFL teams do, I guess because their league is made up of predominantly country towns.

WTF surely not

I can 100% vouch for this.
All the materials are sourced from the UK and the leather is dyed, cut etc in the UK but they send the balls to Dubai and a couple of other places in the ME for the hand stitching which is labour intensive and time consuming. There are plenty of these sweat shop like facilities in the ME where Pakistani and Bangladeshi’s work for lower than minimum wage.
The balls then get sent back to the UK for final checks and quality control

Our guide showed us one such facility. You had the glitz and glamour of the city with houses having real gold statues, Ferrari’s parked out the front and just 2 streets back you had absolute slums with no running water where 10’s of thousands of these immigrants live and work
