"Off on one" should, I suppose, refer to a binge but I did that yesterday - all 3 rugby games and then the Barcelona footy...I was a little the worse for wear this morning. Anyway, re the rugby, did you see it?
"Off on one" could also mean a whinge...I wonder does anyone else think it strange that the VERY dodgy video-ref decision of not allowing the clear try for Wales, which would have put then 10 points clear; instead the French went and scored a very good try themselves to take the lead...and went on to win the whole tournament, I hate it when games turn on poor refereeing but in this case it was the video-ref...did anyone else thing it strange that throughout the whole afternoon they never once showed a replay of it to discuss the decision - trying to avoid controversy? They say Michalak grounded the ball; he did no such thing, not even close! Humph...Balls! Rugby balls...
Now, whinging Englishmen is a cliche, isn't it?...but then we had the England v Ireland game that COULD have been a tournament decider...but with the dodgy try decisions in that game (I shall say NO MORE...grrrrr)...it was just as well it wasn't but they did win the triple crown - (image below)..anyway...whinge over, back to the binge; we were about 50 English, French, Irish, Welsh, Scots but mainly Spanish and even a few Portuguese...and we had a wail of a time, all good natured; it's only now I'm fully sober that I feel whingy!...so the obvious cure would be...;-) 
S.O.

Have a good one!
It will be quiet while your gone though so you will be missed.
Those close calls are horrid, especially when we lose :(
I never understood rugby. Do they play in Spain, I always thought they were football mad.
HI LUCY - SEEMS EVERYONE ELSE HAS GIVEN UP READING HERE ...:-(
Am in Bogota and recovering from a hangover.
Mr or Mrs anonymous, Rugby is the best game in the world, in Spain they play but not much! there are a few leagues and they got to the World Cup a few years ago....the time before England won it!!!
This is not the right date is it? This post was NOT here surely? Is blogger playing up again?
Blooger is playing up Gavin.
Im sure people are reading Span , just not always commenting.
I read the old lard bucket's rambling perversions constantly! But I swear 'twas not 'ere!
Hello Span, I've been incredibly busy with work and family, so haven't been about much. How is Venezuala?
Totally agree with the rugby comments terrible refereeing but just fits in with the tone of the whole championship this year. i.e. utter rubbish
Dates are right Gavin - as you can see by the replies. Don't know why it wouldn't appear.
Six, hope the family are fine and little'n is settled in.
I've some news re Chavez that I'll post about next week.
