Dear W,
Yours was one of many similar letters that I have recieved from South Wales in the last week. I shall try to reply to them all in this letter.

You have to decide what is the most inportant relationship in your life. Do you want to build on your existing committment to your (choose one)husband/wife/homosexual and or lesbian lover/ best friends mum and or dad/ secret office lover/Rhodri Morgan/Johnnie Wilkinson, or do you want the excitment of a fling in the almost certain knowledge that it will be at best, a couple of one night stands.Ah, the passion of the one night stand night! as you hook into and vanquish your Australian lover. But can you be certain that your new lover will remain true or is he/she likely to go off with the first romantic Frenchman, macho Yaarpi or Russel Crowe she collides with? Do you really think a middle aged taff/butt/gog has the charm charisma and animal magnetism to keep on reeling in those one nigh stands?

I think we both know what the right thing to do is, don't we? I notice you say that you have two tickets. Any chance of the spare?

yours,
Marjorie Proops
ex Howells School

Wil,
Its infectious. First you, then Ryan Jones, then me. Dislocated my shoulder playing touch rugby, with the dads from the primary school. Tidy half break, lobbed miss pass to the slow winger,who doesnt have the gas to go all the way . He passes it back inside , five yards to go being chased by a fast dad, so dive gloriously over.....
"My shoulders gone".

Most pain I have ever had, far worse than any of my five fractures. Only good thing is that I tracked down, care of Amazon, the scandalolusly out of print, "Art of Coarse Rugby" by Michael Green, to give as a present for the two dads who came to hospital with me. A very, very funny read, especially the chapter on Wales.

Wilbach says - oh my lawd - you as well?! oh oh oh. I hope you are ok! it DOES hurt somewhat, doesn't it - they all joke when i tell em how much it did hurt. oh, my dear boy. you have not just my sympathy but my empathy.

did they give the try, by the way?

And i loaned my copy of the 'art of...' to our thirds capt/manager/coach who never returned it. he sometimes mumbles something about it being far more informative and illuminating than levels 1, 2, 3, and modules 1 - 6 of level 4 WRU coaching certificates. the observation about the club nutter is one that has more than a ring of truth to it.

Did they give you morphine in the emergency room? I liked that bit...
