ROOM 101
THE SOUTH LEICESTER FLY-HALF TAKES US THROUGH HIS PET HATES FROM THE RUGBY WORLD AND BEYOND
1. Noisy eaters
It really gets me when people eat loudly and slurp. Apparently, this makes me misophonic - yes, the hatred of noisy eating even has its own name, which my family love to wind me up about. Tom Cheney is probably the worst in our squad; he shovels his food in and has really sloppy chops. TRP VERDICT: How can we let this fall on deaf ears? It sounds like you need a break.
2. Lateness
I pride myself on my punctuality so it winds me up when team-mates fail to make meet-up times. Barring some disaster, how difficult is it to be in the right place at the right time? If I had to name and shame anybody, I’d have to point the finger at our scrum-half, Adam Shaw. TRP VERDICT: Would you Adam and Eve it, that’s two out of two.
3. Bus journeys
We’re in National 2 North which means some long bus trips, to places like Tynedale. It’s especially bad for me as I live in Worcestershire and it’s been known for me to leave the house at 7.30am on the morning of a match. Bus journeys are just so monotonous. It’s okay on the way home if you’ve had a good win but getting there is a drag. Tom Cheney is one to avoid sitting next to; he never shuts up. Also, the only time we get a good bus is when the sponsor is on board as a passenger. TRP VERDICT: Tynedale? That’s definitely a Cor-bridge too far. Well done on the hattrick.
