Bouncebackability NB

[tome]

Just thoroughy enjoyed the Wales/Kiwi rugby - great game and the Kiwis were lucky to win by a point. Man of the match Colin Jarvis mentioned Bouncebackability twice in his interview. Is this a factor we should consider in boats?

But why, as a TV licence payer, should I not be entitled to watch the home side without subscribing to an alternative channel?

Yeah Great game and I noticed this new word too.
What would they have called it in the 80's??
Cheers Bob E..

I believe he has nicked from the equestrian world.... I have used it mostly when I fall off/get chucked off...

Re the 70's term I believe it was Spacehopperability

Think I watched it on BBC 2, does that mean it was not live - good job I did'nt know that!

I can recall the buzz in Cardiff back in the early 70's on match days, hope those times are returning.

Erm .......... its a bit much criticising him for his use of vocabulary, when you have got his name wrong - it's Charvis! Bloody good player, though.

(I support Wales, BTW)

<hr width=100% size=1>I can't be bothered with a footnote - it's usually rubbish anyway.

 

[pessimist]

I support England but still enjoyed the sight of Wales playing something like their best. Agree about Charvis - he would be in with a shout in any top class side.

Alright Charvis, yer whingeing ol' git.

Good to see Wales out of the doldrums again. They may be disappointed by the final result, but I can't see the team accepting a wooden spoon in the 6 Nations after their performnce against SA and Kiwis.

When I complain about split infinitives, I'm told that English is a living language. "Bouncebackability" made me smile. At least it was more original than using "...wise", as in "Bouncebackwise".

Bouncebackability was a word used by Iain Dowie (Crystal Palace Manager) a few months back and now SoccerAM are trying to get it into the Oxford Eng Dic. and were pushing ALL people to use the word.........

Let alone that dreadful word - which in my experience was introduced by our chums down under - "awesome"
