Rugby or Football?

ducatirose In my mind there is no comparison! Rugby is a real man's (or woman's) game. Football is for failed ballerinas and sheep! Nothing against them individually but as a corporate commodity... its a farce! The "ooooh! ref, he just broke my professionally manicured...

What are the lessons you have learned from your life so far?

vijayanths @vijayanths (7877) • India 16 Nov 09

I have learned that all are very much selfish though they don't appear so. Fear is the cause for many failures in life. Intelligence alone can't help you succeed in life..... How about you?
