Congratulations are in order for our friend and colleague McCoy!! Italy finally came through and won an away match in the 6-Nations rugby tournament. Normally, they play damn well for 60 of the 80 minutes but fold in the last 20! Against Scotland, they started off like gang-busters and had the staying power that Italian women are purportedly so fond of! eh, Mccoy??

BigH,
sorry I missed your post for a while.
I'm sure glad Italy succeded in one notoriously tough tournament like that and against notoriously tough guys like the Scots. Didn't hear it on TV, though, in Italy it's all about soccer, little else exists, that's why at the end you sort of tend to hate it (at least, that's my reaction).
I can't tell you much about the staying power & Italian women, to be honest my statistics (# of women probed) would lack enough data.
My impression though is that it has more to do with masculine pride than with actual feminine requirements!

 
McCoy - guess you like CPT rather than SPT, eh?? At school, one of my classmates married William Acker III - of the Acker drilling company - who also was schooling with us. We had a hoot of a time with the gags for his stag - I made up a Standard Penetration Test for Honeymooners - but sadly, it is lost unless he has a copy. Also, they gave him a huge condom (6 inch dia rubber triaxial rock membrane! - he tried to imply, well, . . .
 
I can just imagine the poor Acker III & spouse!!

2 minutes to go and Italy is up by 3 on Wales. Will they win 2 matches this year? If so, WOW!
