    Your team looks a little under strength for tonights match v Tonga, how do you think they will fair ?


    despite the depletions and whilst tonga will put up a spirited fight the end result should comfortably favour wales :)

    hope so :)
  • afternoon everyone, blooming freezing ! May I ask the elite a question please ? Was reading and also seen in Ts this morning the 20%off certain gift cards, if I was to buy 2 £20 pizza express cards would I be able to use the £5 off £40 spend as well at the same time without buying anything else ? i did read the Terms and cd it says cannot be used with gift cards but i was thinking that meant ts own gift cards. Sorry if i make no sense. Thank you

    Not sending flowers is not an option.

    People have donated for funeral flowers, I am not about to spend other peoples money on something else.

    When I first saw the suggestion of "MSE" instead of "Elite", I was a bit miffed and put out, because the suggestion for the collection came from people on this board, as did most of the donations. A couple of people from the coupons board have also very kindly donated, and they approached me to do so.

    However, thinking about it, I do still like the original idea of "Elite", but I am also coming round to "MSE". I also quite liked the idea of "MAD", as I thought it would have made him chuckle, but I also think that shouldnt be done without his family's say so.

    So, for now, we need to decide between "ELITE" and "MSE". My personal preference is for "Elite" but I will go with what the majority say.

    I'm not going to post what I was originally going to, as the thoughts of where this could end up make me feel quite :( I have spent a lot of time this week doing this and I would rather not be made to feel like I have been wasting my time.

    Don't get upset QoC, you're doing a brilliant job. It's not really my place to say as I donated to the Cancer Research rather than the flowers and you seem to have plenty for them, but I personally would stick with "Elite" - it's what people donated for and it's a lovely description of the man. "Mad" unfortunately doesn't have the same positive connotations and MSE won't mean anything to anyone. Just my thoughts, don't mean to interfere, but you are grand, don't take people's musings to heart. x
    Hope is not a strategy.

    You are correct my friend. On looking at it again more closely I see it is 2 mains, 2 sides, 2 desserts and one bottle of Prosecco for £20, I just assumed it was the standard meal deal. Should have gone to Specsavers. Thanks! :)
