This seasons cotton Rhinos shirt is ok at least mine is I'm wearing it now and have washed it too so they seem to have srted all because this years main sponsor is sewn on rather than a plastic transferlike last season ISC are poo at the end of the day!!!!!!

At least your not Castleford who couldn't get their Kit out before christmas how much money they have lost I don't know!!!! imagine tigers fans faces when all they got was an "IOU" (sorry voucher) for a shirt this christmas!!!!! and then they have the cheek to charge £46 £6 more than the world champoins!!!!!!!

Still refer to Livorno as Leghorn? Sri Lanka as Ceylon? Beijing as Peking? After all, if we can't be bothered learning how to pronounce their names properly, it's clearly their fault.

Do actually know how to pronounce them though?


Most people get them wrong anyway, even when they are using the correct name, Beijing in particular.

Do you say Paris or Paree?

Cologne or "Köln"?

Munich or "München"?

Is it really important, when discussing these places amongst English speaking people?

Is it such a massive crime to call Sri Lanka by it's old name Ceylon, or Mumbai, Bombay?
