Prove he is independent by strategically "leaking" (ie starting a rumour) that all is not well.....

If you read the various posts I have made on this thread I am clearly not a Scots 'mole'. I hope I have not been sucked in to unwittingly helping them.

As for [Quick Hands above]
Unfortunately world domination brings with it people who think that way. A sad indictment of the mindset promoted by Dr L.

I couldn't agree more - I just don't get how anybody could think that Parachuting in almost complete teams in years 9, 10 or 11 was/is a good thing.

I never intended it to suggest that at all.
I guess there's a possibility any one of us reporting a yarn is being set up.
All great fun.

Until someone loses an eye or a rightful place in their school's premier team.

Gee, please tell me where???!!!

Probably, the only light on the hill (maybe, too socialist for this forum) are the Oz schoolboys performances over the last few years, although this seems to disipate by the U20s.

I removed reference to the loss of an eye on the grounds of political correctness - some of the boosters may have felt i was having a dig at them

Fiji beat NZ, Oz beat Fiji 31-7.
All proof that concentration of rugby playing (just leaving the issue of talent to one side) in the private schools is working just fine.

Aren't Sydney Uni " a whole lot of great stuff"?

Don't know about that; remember there are a number of contracted leaguies within that Qz schoolboy side; plus that fact (you might have mentioned it, schoolboy selection and results don't equate to professional careers and super15 and international results) this quickly disappears by international U20s results.

Too be honest, the Shite (intended) Shield is so irrelevant it begs the question: Who won it this year? I take it Syd Uni dominanted again.

I cannot believe that Steve Jobs did not develop a sarcasm emoticon before he shuffled off this mortal coil: his greatest failing?

Yes and while you're there;
The US won WWll, Peter Allen was gay, the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank and an Aussie won the America's Cup sailing an American boat.

Peter Allen - gay; no way. I wouldn't have believed it.

EDIT: Imagine standing on the sideline for 6 years listening to that b/s.

The denial from the two most vitriolic was a scene to see. I remember one of the mums from cricket, who just thought that the opposition was, to coin her phrase... Lucky... A sad yet humourous lunch with the youngest lad. At least on here we voice and vent our spleens to the public. Those women took it to a new level. I will never leave a table of school mums first.

I have heard of one of the Catholic schools giving progressive sibling discounts culminating in 5th and any more siblings attending the school being gratis.

Students do not have to all be at the school at the same time to qualify for the sibling discount.

A good incentive for large families.

HJ,
last year at one of the Left foot schools, a mum and dad there had been paying fees there for the last 20 odd years and were so proud to write that final cheque... So I don't know what sort of discount they got... But they have 6 sons!

Leave and come back: the conversation never changes only the victims.
While we mock it I think they actually have bought into the dream of world domination.
I gave up on that hours ago.

25% second child, 50% third and 100% fourth and above.

But they must all must be at school/s at the same time.

There we go, the bloody Catholics are rorting the system worse than Scots. 50% discount/fee relief/bursary/scholarship and above, just for breeding successfully.

World domination by sheer weight of numbers. Clever sausages the Papists.

Wait till they find out that in 10 years time, noone will care that their little darlings dominated high school sport. That should be a cracker of a conversation "Doesn't my son's boss realise that he was part of the Scots College domination of world sport?"

As any good invitation to a women's only event should state :"You better come or we will talk about you".
