Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: Ex Wasps signing for new clubs

VK.Com may be quasi legal but as it is a very active Russian site which means it has Kremlin approval and I would regard it as immoral. They do not charge for their stream so it is in effect pirated. Remember there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Wasps Rugby Discussion / OT: Audio question.
« on: November 22, 2023, 12:18:27 PM »
Hi, This a somewhat esoteric audio query. I have thousands of MP3 (mostly) and FLAC files stored on my windows PC. Up till now I have streamed my music both by WiFi and ethernet to 2 elderly Logitech devices (Squeezebox Boom & Classic), both of which are over 20 years old and have suddenly died on me - no power and no (streamed) music 
I had setup playlists on my PC which I used with Logitech media centre.
As both of my Logitech devices are getting long in the tooth I have decided that replacement will be preferable to a possibly expensive repair. Now, here is my problem. I have done quite a lot of searching but cannot come up with an obvious substitute(s). The best that I have found is a modern stand alone speaker such as Denon 150 and use PlayFi on my computer to organise the streaming. However I don't actually know if this will work as I would want it! Can anyone suggest any alternative? I don't want to spend a fortune. BTW: I replaced the power supply on one of my devices but without success.
PS. I do not have a smart phone but have an Android tablet.
Thank you for reading.

Agree re. the caterpillar but wouldn't a mark called anywhere usually result in a pretty aimless kick in return? And it would all take slightly longer.

Where is he now?
Jamma San plays for Shokki Shuttles.

« on: November 13, 2023, 06:00:22 PM »anyone remember Hamish Smalles getting shown up by the 5 second count and taking exception to it as it showed that the players could take high tea in the time it was taking to come out?
I remember it well. James Gaskell started counting down for him and got slapped down for it. Smales then penalised him just about every time he got the ball. Jamma then had a brainwave and changed his scrum cap at HT and didn't get pinged the rest of the game. Smales was (probably still is) a total prat. Very poor ref as well.

Actually he injured his neck in the Chile game. Won't be out for long apparently but long enough to rule him out of the tournament.
Ah a Borthwick apologist surfaces 😀😀
Weegies never apologise

Wasps Rugby Discussion / Which Club is Next for The Chop?
« on: October 05, 2023, 11:07:03 AM »
Read this on Shedweb. Posted by ROLLO (many posters here will be familiar with him) - Wuss stalwart.
"Talk yesterday was that the next club in peril is Saints."
That surprised me as I thought they were in better shape then most.
What do you think?

Well that was unexpected - apart from the red card of course. England found a way to win easily with much assistance from Argentina who were dire. Didn't they know that it was odds on that they would be playing against 14 men?
