Compare and contrast. Not really sure what your point is. I understand the rules and have actually played rugby. It doesn't detract from my opinion that it's pish. Why the comparison of the actions or discussions of supporters of football against those of rugby should change that, I can't quite figure that out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearbuyerbell Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Why is the 'Big Issue' sold outside shops. Surely, the publisher could sell more copies, and at greater profit by missing out the middle man and puting it on our shelves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Rugby is great. People that go out their way to tell everyone it is shite are usually too fucking stupid to understand the rules. I understand the rules. I occasionally get hospitality at the rugby through work. I still think it's utter bollocks and most rugby fans tend to be utter welts. FWIW I'm referring to Rugby Union as bollocks. Rugby League I actually don't mind so much. Think it's a bit faster paced and therefore more watchable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'donation' goes to the seller and the publisher covers its costs through advertising and donations. I also know of a few 'City' law firms and banks who set 'Big Issue' sellers up with a laptop and card reader maybe 1 day a week so that staff can use their 'canteen cards' to buy a copy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming this isn't lifted straight from Viz Top Tips, how do you propose the publisher gets it from the printing press directly to your shelf? (where I keep all my back issues). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What position of the meatheads did you play? Big coach lad would tell me to stand on the side of the scrum (flanker?) and punch anyone who came near me from the other team. Went to see my nephew play a couple of times and it seems a much cleaner game now. Shouts of "deck him" etc wasn't taken well by parents. Also played number 8 and occasionally fullback. Good camaraderie. Plenty of of us in the team didn't get on but as soon as a game started you'd scrap like mad for each other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I'm watching my boy. I went for 2 years a couple of years ago and had to give it up due to tendonitis of the elbow which I'm sure was caused by hyperextension of my tendons when I was punching fuck out the bag. I'm watching it just now though and getting the buzz back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
