Lions, 1; Rugby, nil


Rugby players? Arses!

The utter stupidity of some people never ceases to amaze me.

News arrives today of Wales rugby player Scott Baldwin, who has had to miss a crucial game in his team's tour of South Africa - because he was bitten by a lion, while trying to pat its head!

His own coach said: "...in fairness it was nothing to do with the lion... I don't know what sort of wildlife show Scott has been watching where you can pat a lion on the head as if it's a kitten.

"It's probably one of the silliest things I've even been involved in, but thankfully he is OK and hopefully he will be back up and running in the next couple of weeks."


Any excuse, really to play a long-forgotten classic from proud-silly-haircut-wearers, (the post-Limahl) Kajagoogoo, methinks:

  1. While the sports world may have more than its fair share of comeliness, it is obviously not overburdened with persons of lofty intellect.

  3. When you consider the intellect of the current U.S. President, it is not surprising that a rugby player is the other poster child for stupidity.

    1. One of them spends an inordinate amount of time cracking his head against other people's arses. The other spends an inordinate amount of time with his head up his own. Jx

    2. Indeed. It's so far up his ass you can see the soles of his shoes.

  4. The lion owner will probably be sued for not having signage saying: Do Not Pat The Lion.

  5. "Look, boyo, it's one thing to stick your 'and in the scrum, but patting someone eles's lion -well it just isn't on, isn't it."
