Never before have so many people with so little to say said so much to so few.

Optimists

Rucker is very proud to announce the arrival of his daughter on the international sailing scene.
Over the course of Eid Al Adha, she took part in, and excelled at, her RYA Youth Beginners Stage 3.
Next stop, well, Stage 4, and then who knows?
She took a healthy interest in Rucker's online Vendee Globe race last year...
Cheers,
A very proud Rucker

Foreign Students

Increasing UK students fees, and reducing those of foreign students? Aren't you supposed to be looking after UK citizens, not everyone elses? Sorry, Dave, you've got it all wrong on this one...

England Australia

Had they played the way they played the week before, England would have had no argument than to walk away with a defeat.
But they played out of their skins, and put on a memorable show.
Well done them.
I particularly liked the huddle before the start, seeing the evergreen Lewis Moody shouting at the rest of them, "Enjoy it, JUST F@#&ING ENJOY IT!!!"
Cheers,
Rucker

England New Zealand

They really are, aren't they?
New Zealand, I mean.
The team du jour.
They seem to be unbeatable, unstoppable, incredible.
Heaven help us at the RWC on their home turf...
Cheers,
Rucker
