88 @ The_Young_Turk:I have been keeping one blurry eye on the game – have moved the computer into the kitchen and been making apple pie with my son
Scotland close… very close
90 @ Just For Kicks:
I certainly Can, just need the Model No for the Sony Vaio on the Bottom of the Notebook. I can even download it and put it on the Dropbox cloud and share the link with you
@ Just For Kicks:
Geez, you’re actually still alive!
Knock by Laidlaw
Monster Azzuri scrum… penalty.
Italy have monstered the Scotland scrum today!
This is a RUGBY & IT HELPDESK Blog…. hehehe
Italy get the turnover, run well, then give away a penalty for holding on
Italy scrum, not straight into the lineout.
Looks like the Azzuri will win this.
Less than 5 minutes left, the difference is 6.
Scotland scrum penalty… they will have to go for touch to get a possible try…
Scotland lineout, 12m away
So what are we expecting will happen with the Boks match today? More of the same disappointing kuk or a pleasant surprise for a change?
The model number is PCG-71613W – it seems to be specific to South Africa and one other very strange asian country, as you cannot find it here, and any other laptop that looks identical has a completely different model number, so if you can find it, I owe you a good beer or two when you come over for the RC!
It’s all pedestrian for the Scotts….
Some very lazy running by the Italians not helping the Scots cause
Italy has it… Scotland scrum with seconds left
This does put into the light, just how poor the Boks really are. Both these sides are seriously hopeless!! and look how well they did against us!
Ref has been just as poor as the match…
Last chance saloon now
103 @ Just For Kicks:
Have written the model No down, will look for it… What you want to load, Windows 7? 32-Bit or 64-Bit?
102 @ The_Young_Turk:
I am hoping for a pleasant surprise. Meyer just may bring on the whole bench in the 2nd half, then think we may see a surprise. Though these players have a certain game plane drilled into them. So not even sure about that.
Try Strokosch, and the conversion will win it for the Scotts
And Scotland sneaks it after the hooter.
107 @ Just For Kicks:
Exactly.. 🙄
Oh no, dumb Italians have just given the match away. How daft was that. But well done to the Scots for never up!!!
Final Score: Scotland 30 / 29 Italy
110 @ grootblousmile: 64 bit please
@ grootblousmile: Sorry, window 7, 64 bit
WELL DONE THE SCOTS.. 🙂 At least I had them for a win on bru.
118 @ Just For Kicks:
OK, got it
