Totally and utterly off topic, but my friends in England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, France and Italy (plus those in the Southern Hemisphere) may understand this.......................England won the Triple Crown today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Am I safe in assuming this has nothing to do with horse racing?? 

You are very safe indeed John. It is rugby union. It means that England have beaten Scotland, Ireland and Wales this season (and they haven't done that for ages).

Yes, it has been a while. Sometime before 1066 I think.

I think the French won it all that year....

Well congratulations then! 

Ah yes, but Ireland won the Six Nations !

 

Cheers

Yes indeed, and they were excellent value for it too.

 

Kimberlee Ross, the wife of the Ireland tight-head-prop, Mike Ross, used to work with me, so I got to know him quite well, and so I have a certain sympathy with Ireland, as well as England, in that, as long as Ireland are not playing England, I want Ireland to win!  He had a brilliant season.  To celebrate the winning of the 6 nations, they are expecting their second child (or, at least, I take it that the two events are connected - Kimberlee didn't seem to agree with me the last time I spoke to her)!!!!!!!!!!
