I mean, if that's your kink then go with it. But the article doesn't seem to refer to Mids being a sub.

South Wales, Vale of Glamorgan, Down here we all seem to pretty much get on. Are you Welsh? I used to live in Dyfed and the local lads were always scrapping, especially with us saesneg. Pub punchups used to be a tradition in wales years ago, especially the rugby club!

Odd, that. I don't think I have ever known of a punch-up in a rugby club or at any social goings-on involving rugby. Plenty of spats on the pitch, naturally, but nothing malicious, just people losing their rag for a second. The taffs do take the game rather more seriously mind.

i used to play for barnstaple and we had puch ups throughout Devon and Cornwall. A particularly vigourous fight in Exeter involving the first second and third team vs the entire exeter scally population. I was warned not to take a taxi in one town because one of our players had beaten up a taxi driver previously.

Lots of rugby punch ups where I grew up, but it was union. In fact just lots of punching all round, they even had an expression for it, probably used in lots of places '10 pints, curry and fight' was the best night out

I meant to say it wasn't union, those lot tended to be effeminate posh Nancy boys pretending to be hard, it was mostly league where I was from, those blokes were just hard, no pretending, and you just didn't mess with them.

"School Head Admits ‘Anti-racist’ Curriculum Is ‘Demonizing White People for Being Born’""The head of a New York City private school that has been accused of indoctrinating students with progressive politics and “anti-racist” orthodoxy privately acknowledged that the school is guilty of “demonizing white people for being born,” according to audio from a conversation he had with a whistleblower teacher." "George Davison, the head of Grace Church School in Manhattan, told embattled teacher Paul Rossi in a March 2 recorded conversation that the school uses language that makes white students “feel less than, for nothing that they are personally responsible for.” He also said that “one of the things that’s going on a little too much” is the “attempt to link anybody who’s white to the perpetuation of white supremacy,” according to the recordings posted online." news.yahoo.com/private-school-head-admits-anti-172356132.htmlwhere in history has the targeting of an entire ethnic group for everything that goes wrong had a good ending? i know our woke members will say only racism can stop racism, but demonizing white students for being born?

Another reason to avoid private schools really.

Not sure having a bank balance big enough to pay your way in is actually an exam mind.

It's true that many are little more than repositories for the thick/lazy/unmotivated kids of snobbish, wealthy parents with sharp elbows, but any decent private school will have a common entrance exam and interviews. Mine did. So did my son's. Many won't even consider taking kids on at 6th Form if they don't have an outstanding set of GCSEs.
There are quite a few schools in and around London whose pupils appear to be simple accessories in vulgar caps and blazers for the 4x4.

My very minor Public School at Hurn, near Christchurch, Hampshire was a repository for the thick/lazy/unmotivated kids of snobbish, wealthy parents with sharp elbows

"Whites Denied COVID-19 Vaccine Appointments by Some Providers in Washington""The Washington State Department of Health appears to be allowing COVID-19 vaccine providers to distribute inoculations based on race, particularly one which places whites on a “standby” list while scheduling non-whites online, a local radio station is reporting Thursday." "KTTH in Seattle says the website for the African American Reach and Teach Health Ministry, a vaccine distributor authorized by the state department of health, questions those seeking inoculation appointments for their race, and if an individual indicates they’re white, it makes them unable to access appointment times and dates." www.wmal.com/news/report-whites-denied-covid-19-vaccine-appointments-by-some-providers-in-washington/

I’m pretty sure that all white people over 16 can get vaccinated in Washington

It's revealing, isn't it, that some people who were squealing to the rafters about getting denied a cake are absolutely on board with people getting refused a vaccine?
