Final Conflict: Blood n Guts in Golders Green

Blood n Guts in Golders Green

For those of you following the rugby World Cup, and still mopping about after England's defeat by South Africa and Wales's defeat by Australia... all is not lost.

Apparently both "home nation" rugby squads are taking steps to strengthen their attack - especially in scrums, rucks and mauls.

Word is the team coaches have been showing the teams video footage of the "queues" outside the Northern Rock bank's Golders Green branch at the weekend!

For overseas readers: Northern Rock bank has had a rush on with customers withdrawing £2 Billion in two days, after a scare linked with the American sub-prime mortgage fiasco - and Golders Green is a heavily Jewish area of north London.

Quote of the Week

“Unless people start life with a culture of their own, exposure to other cultures will seldom enhance their moral or even aesthetic awareness. Without home culture, as it used to be called – a background of firmly held standards and beliefs – people will encounter the “other” merely as consumers of impressions and sensations, as cultural shoppers in pursuit of the latest novelties. It is important for people to measure their own values against others and to run the risk of changing their minds; but exposure to others will do them very little good if they have no minds to risk. New perspectives presuppose a pre-existing point of view.”
