Fair question, that's uncertain, but someone brought it there from Jerusalem and someone built the seal. I'm assuming the latter at least was them.

Oh! Big writer things are important, but if you get the chance to watch SCOvFRA and ITAvENG, do!

Every time I watch The Last Crusade I wonder what magic the crusaders did to steal a thing from Jerusalem and then build a weird prison around it to stop it either being stolen worse or being repatriated. Classic English artifact robbery, I guess.

Did it pay off did it, all your cheering for the english

46 points is the highest losing score (in 80 minutes) in international Test history.

I wonder how Adams' tasted?

One of the best of the tournament, but the two last Saturday still take the top spots!

Really, really was.

Absolutely. And those 2 points mattered for England in the end!

Best team in the tournament managed to hold on and win it. No complaints, Ireland did better than I expected they would and honestly I'm happy. #FRAvENG #M6N

People grabbing for shillings left, right and centre.

Perhaps, but either way, definitely a good change. Keep it tight and frenetic.

Diving over the line by default is a brain rot of modern rugby. #FRAvENG #M6N

I mean, 120 isn't exactly one of the big anniversaries. I mean, the clash never should have been approved.

The jersey colours are the worst I've seen in a long time. At any sort of zoom out they're identical. Whatever the reason is, it's bad and wrong. #FRAvENG #M6N

So it comes down to this, #FRAvENG, after 14 matches the championship is still, mathematically, in the balance. A draw, without a try BP for France, is my preferred outcome, but I can only predict a French win. #M6N

I gotcha, aye. It's been amazing to witness.

Where is the Italy that beat England, or are Wales finally back? #WALvITA #M6N

They've grown into it so well. Difficult to say they're the best, given championship winning teams since 2009, but I'd agree they have to be in the conversation!

Triple Crown won, which would be great any year, but particularly good in a year when we started so badly and were looking so mediocre. The lads improved and improved and really stood up today. #COYBIG #M6N #IREvSCO

There are, indeed, criteria. I mean, they have to be publicly funded too. There are private colleges here, no private universities.

#IREvSCO a Triple Crown and maybe even a #M6N championship to play for. Hopefully gonna be a cracker either way!

They won't look to set up here (because too small), but I'd love if they did. You can only be a university by act of the Oireachtas!

Five cut-out-and-keep bookplates Each reads ‘ex-libris’ then has a space for the owners name. The design reflects the genre: Sci-fi: Nanotechnology tracks the book, monitors its condition and summons a retrieval drone if necessary. Horror: An ancient curse creates feelings of unease, rising to apalling, abject horror unless the book is returned. Romance : Acts as an invite to the county's grandest ball, but revoked if not returned in a polite and timely manner. Crime: Tailed by a dishevelled Gumshoe who Seems cynical, but loves books more than dames and bourbon. Fantasy: A fellowship of heroes lead the borrower on an epic quest to return the tome to its Rightful shelf.

I mean, have you asked them? :)

But what about all the hot Scotsmen in kilts? :)

AI toys for young children need tighter rules, researchers warn In first study of its kind, Cambridge researchers found AI toys could misread some children's emotions.
