Bob David, just go back to your playing days and imagine that you're the flanker and it's the opposing fly-half... Excellent!

brent ellis This teaching lark sounds just like the school i went to! Glad to see you are mucking in and supporting the [whatever government] is in power.

DAvidB My wife. Is it a Malaysian thing then?

Jenny Garner I am pleased to read your adventure is going well . Sounds like you are having a wonderful and very interesting experience.Just hope the weather improves soon! Thanks for this Jenny, Fortunately it's stopped raining but I don't thinl I've seen the last of it by any means. Apparently it always rains on Christmas Day. What's your handicap down to?

Robert Lee Good to know that your intake of local beer hasn't slowed down your reflexes

Beki See if we hadnt spent ages learning that word you would never been able to use it........ which word?

Bob Great stuff David. Qualification for the 2015 World Cup looms.

Bob Fascinating. A great read! You should get a job as a coach....

mike A bit like leeds with yet another defeat-this time saraceans. And we thought Exeter were this years lambs to the slaughter! Well at least you boys stopped the rot with a draw! and not a minute to soon. Relegation is not possible but promotion is looking a long way off too. How's Annie doing?

Peter K Good to see you are maintaining an informed and productive relationship with the .... 'Great Game'. As regards coaching mmmmm! remember passions can run high if things go belly up!!! aka Bristol. Your comments by the way on Geography are very uplifting - keep the average work up!!!

Anne-Marie You always were a star in the classroom! Come on you know all about "basic" language lessons after all those years in the C block. Would you like some help with a taster demo lesson for your TV appearance?! Make sure you secure the services of the desirable and co-operative kids in your elite group who can pretend to be beginners making amazing and outstanding progress. Off to Alsace at the end of the week - and some time in Germany of course! Just the two of you? Enjoy! We retirees do holiday at the best of times - but don't tell Maura I said so.

Robert Lee Good to hear you're thriving (or at least surviving) mate. Sorry, can't help about Bristol - a lost cause. Suggest you transfer allegiance to Exeter when you get back! Bob Bah! Humbug!!

Beki "after I failed to fix someone else's wi-fi" How could you possibly imagine that you were going to do anything else to it? Moloney + WIFI is a big TSIA TSIA

Royce Great approach to getting your customised travel guide! Enjoying the blog. Reading got an undeserved win over Crystal Palace yesterday, including two penalties that weren't. John was not a happy camper. Tell him to be grateful he is not supporting Bristol RFC. At least Palace have won this year.

Peter K Sorry forgot to say playing off net -4 after disastrous day with water hazards - a real 'swish **** 'day really!!!! One of my all-time favourite expressions!
