I’d like to see them try to set up camp on  a training session at Exeter Chiefs🤔

Before they stormed Topsham they tried to storm the Exeter university pitch down the road that had a game on and got booted out 😂

Done a couple of corkers recently. Had to fell about 14 ash and sycamore in a wooded area the other day, all straight fells bar 1 tree, quoted for 1 day with 6 of us. Took 2 days and the stump grinder packed in so running that one at a loss. Still nothing a strong whiskey can’t fix. Not the first time won’t be the last.

They've just tried the same at Thetford rugby club, coincidently both these sites had Motorhome rallies on them a few days before.

Just a quick note on grammar. I believe the correct plural of "c•ck up" should in fact be "c•cks up", and not "c•ck ups", as the standard in English is to pluralise only the noun part of the phrase, in the same manner as "courts martial", "mothers-in-law", or "passers-by ".

 

That is all.

Nope. Your grammar lesson has been a cock up.

But you wouldn't say "I found a load of dildos in my mothers-in-law handbag" you would say "I found a load of dildos in my mother-in-law's handbag"

That S isn't plural, it's possessive. 

 

You could, theoretically, say "my mothers-in-laws' handbag" if you had more than one wife whose mothers all shared a single handbag.
