Press Release
International Rugby Board (IR Rugby World Cup 2007
Following complaints to the IRB about the All Blacks being allowed to motivate themselves by performing the ‘Haka’ before their games,
other nations were asked to suggest pre-match rituals of their own. The IRB Rugby World Cup 2007 Organizing Committee has now agreed
to the following pre-match displays:
1) The England team will chat about the weather, wave hankies in the air and attach bells to their ankles before moaning about
how they invented the game and gave it to the world, but no one appreciates them.
2) The Scotland team will chant “You lookin’ at me Jimmy?” before each of them smash a bottle of beer over their opponents’ heads.
3) The Ireland team will split into two, with the Southern half performing a Riverdance, while the Northerners march the Traditional
route from their dressing room to the pitch, via their opponents dressing room.
4) Unfortunately the Committee was unable to accept the Welsh proposal to form a choir and sing Tom Jones’ “It’s Not Unusual”.
5) Argentina will unexpectedly invade a small part of opposition territory, claim it as their own “Las In-Goals-Areas” and have to be
forcibly removed by the match stewards.
6) Two members of the South African team will claim to be more important than the other 13 whom they will imprison between
the posts. These two will then go about selecting the best parts of the pitch to settle on and claim that they have been there for centuries.
7) The Americans will not attend until almost full time. In future years they will amend the records to show that they were in fact
the most important team in the tournament and Hollywood will make a blockbuster fi lm called ‘Saving Flanker Ryan’.
8) Five of the Canadian team will sing La Marseillaise and hold the rest of the team to ransom.
9) The Italian team will arrive in Armani gear, sexually harass the female offi cials and then prepare pasta dishes, which they will fl og
to the crowd for a fortune.
10) The Japanese will shock fans buy demonstrating how to capture a whale for scientifi c research buy harpooning an opposition prop.
11) The French won’t have a pre-match display and will simply hide in fear in the dressing room for the whole match.
12) The Australians will have a BBQ on their side of the fi eld and invite the opposition over before the game. The food and alcohol
will be in abundance and by the start of the game no-one will remember what they came to the stadium for. After some
streaking, the singing of dirty songs and the occasional chunder everyone will go home thoroughly convinced it was a bloody
good night.
13) The Moroccan team will quietly pray during the fi rst half and then launch suicide attacks against the opposition after the break.
Unfortunately, this strategy works well for the fi rst game only, after which Morocco is forced to withdraw from the Rugby World
Cup due to lack of players.
14) Samoa will prepare a huge feast in the middle of the pitch by digging a large hole and fi lling it with burning embers. They invite
the opposition over by saying, “We’d like to have you for dinner”. It’s only when the opposition get to the pit that they realize
there is no meat and that they are the dinner!
Hopefully, with these policies now in place, further problems is this area of the game should cease to exists.
Regards,
Syd Miller
IRB Chairman

Sorry, I meant naturalists, that title was only to grab more attention, but, thinking about it, naturists must have this problem and possibly can help.

My lady friend, Hazel, is scared of wasps. I know that this is not unusual, most ladies are, and for that matter, many blokes.

Probably one of the funniest sights that I have ever seen was on Brighton sea front, this outrageously gay fella was being chased by a wasp, probably attracted by the dress that he was wearing, I don’t mean dress as in ladies dress, but his outfit of bright yellow shirt and purple trousers, red shoes and white flat cap, when he eventually escaped his attacker, we, the onlookers, wiped the tears of laughter from our eyes and gave him a round of applause.

Anyway, back to the wasps. I bought Hazel one of those glass thingies, you put sugary water inside, hang it up, and the wasps climb in through the hole at the bottom, they fly around inside until they get dizzy, drop in to the water and drown. ( This is a lot cheaper than allowing them to decide to make their home in your house and then paying out £40 to have them taken away )

Haze says, “It’s unkind to the wasps”, I say, “What do you want me to do, hire a sniper from the SAS and shoot them?”

O.K. friends and visitors, help me please, What are wasps for? Do they do anything to help mankind? Should I be killing them? Is there a better way?
