This remains the funniest way to hear about an internet outage, though.

Yes, but it’s sometimes confusing to use plural when singular is meant. It’s probably the best alternative to gendered pronouns but it is, at best, a hack to overcome a design flaw

Gender should never have been baked into grammar. There is no reason why I should always and forever have to say whether the person saying something is a "he" or a "she" and it seems to be causing a lot of problems for some folks so...

What?? You think Scarlets will hire him?

Unwatchable

It’s funny, because it’s true. And that’s not funny

My URC assessment after 3 rounds, and ahead of a key round this weekend:

Stormers: Best balance, yet can improve📈

Bulls: Not delivering on D or physically... yet 👊

Sharks: Tough climb ahead, but there's hope ⛰️

Lions: Caught in a cycle of mediocrity😵

I’m getting tired of the Lions man. They are just taking the piss at this point

Found a whole drawer full of Covid masks to assign to the proverbial scrap-heap of history

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Crowley is better than Prendergast

I don't think the Springboks played well today, but if you can beat the Argentines when they bring their A game then you've done something many teams have not. #ARGvRSA

Candace has a theory…

In propoganda terms it's really very effective. It's active, patriotic, optimisitic and nostalgic all at the same time, and yet is also framed as a continual work in progress, where greatness is always around the corner - and would be here already but for the turncoats and backsliders in our ranks.

My older brother disappeared into exile from South Africa in the 80s leaving behind a half-painted room and this album taped on a TDK Gold casette and it gradually wormed its way into my pre-adolescent brain to become, eventually, the reason why Bowie's death hit like the death of an older brother

If ever the coke was talking, this was it

Another near-miss for the Bulls? Sharks to finish top four, Stormers to travel for the quarters, and Lions to miss the playoff cut again?

This is the fundamental question of this turbulent age
