A very good afternoon for your auntie. The Beautiful Son and myself watching the rugby. I need him with me as he explains every touch of the ball to me, I don't get it otherwise. Scotland won and so did Ireland. I have a strict preference in who I support, it goes like this
Scotland - because I'm Scottish
Ireland - because my mammy is Irish
France - because I love France (and Chabal and Szarzewski aren't too shabby)
Wales - because they're Celtic
I cannot support any other teams, so give out to me if you like, I know I live in England but I can't and won't support them and if that makes me a bad person so be it.
But what a day for me, my fave 2 teams winning and Ireland still on for the grand slam. I have lost my voice, I have screamed and I mean screamed like the big fat girl I am all afternoon. If you've been with me for a while, you'll know I have an irrational prejudice against Italians, I can't help it, okay I don't want to help it, I hate the feckers.
I really hated them last year with that wee fecker and his drop goal 40 seconds from time, but today was glorious, 26-6 and Simon Danelli and his beautiful try. I am so happy.

About Me
- auntiegwen
- When I started this blog in 2007 I was a single parent with 3 children aged 14, 11 and 10. Now in 2016, every one of those children has grown up and left home. I now live with my lovely best friend, my second and last husband and fellow blogger Mr Adventures in Reality and part of the time with the boy wonder, the one he made earlier. We try and outwit the offspring, do the house up and travel as much as we can.

Och hen, how can ye no support Engerland? I am dual nationality! Multiple personality! and generally very confused! I love Scotland, I love England, I love Ireland and I love Wales! Oh and I also love France because of the 'Auld Alliance'
They were grand old games today and for once we - Scotland - bloody well won! Wey bloody hey!
Rest that voice tomorrow or ye'll no be able tae teach on Monday - oh and get that flipping smear test done okay? Hugs Hennus Mcdiddlus.
Glad you had a good afternoon! I'm not interested in rugby, but often watch it, because my husband and student son like it. I have no excuse not to support England, so I root for them every time.
I don't blame you not supporting England after that disgraceful effort in Dublin. I'm about as Anglo-Saxon as they come, but I'm thinking of switching my allegiencies to Wales. (I do have a little Celtic blood!)
Thank goodness we'll have more important things to gossip about at the end of the month - would hate to be refused entry Chez Auntie because I support England ;o) xxx
Yep you're bad, and I'm sending round the immigration police to make you do the nationality test....
Mobs - I'm on it, it'll take me months but I'll get it done x
MM - as you should, they're your team
Tim - Wales are playing so well, nice to see it
Pen - you will be most welcome chez auntie, no matter who you support, and indeed we will have LOTS more to talk about xxx
NB - you popped in while my back was turned, like you said to me the other day, feck off, you're lucky I wasn't tormenting you with it last night, I was VERY restrained !
Haha...you are so funny. Glad your teams fared so well.
