The MyBroadband 2015 Rugby World Cup Competition

[MickeyD]

Hey MickeyD, since you started the comp and came up with the rules, I'm sure you'll agree that if there's a tie, 1st place should go to the guy with the higher post-count, right? I mean that seems logical and fair...

I win!

 

[DJ...]

I win!

You picked England. You may win the wooden boot...

 

[Ho3n3r]

Hehe. Love the banter.

 

[MickeyD]

You picked England. You may win the wooden boot...

Not if they stick 100 past Uruguay as a parting shot....

 

[DJ...]

Not if they stick 100 past Uruguay as a parting shot....

Have you seen England play lately? You have about as much chance of that happening as an ISP rep knowing how IPC works...

So... how does IPC work?

 

[DJ...]

So... how does IPC work?

According to other other ISP reps, you wave magic fish-sticks at a modem and chant "1122" six times while staring in a mirror. And the pipes flow...

 

[MickeyD]

So... how does IPC work?

First you play the blue team, like Scotland or Samoa.

Then you test your strength against the green teams, like Ireland and South Africa.

Then you dump the yellow team, Romania, and don an orange jersey that is unknown to everybody.

Dagnabbit! Was hoping DJ could show us how clever he is as my ISP's rep!

That's really funny Mickey.

 

[MickeyD]

All the while the orange team is about to be annihilated by the red team from the UK...

[Creag]

I should have picked Uruguay instead of the USA; that would have given me a better chance of taking the wooden spoon

 

[bokka1]

I have Scotland and Wales today, Ireland tomorrow. The three of us in second place should get some points.

 

[MickeyD]
