THE NEWCASTLE LOCK TAKES US THROUGH HIS PET HATES FROM THE RUGBY WORLD AND BEYOND
1. Being in the bad books
I'm the sort of bloke who speaks up straight away if something is bothering me. My Mrs on the other hand is the complete opposite. If she has a face like thunder and I ask her what's wrong, she'll just say, ‘I'm fine, it's alright' when clearly it is not. It's like you're being tortured! Half an hour later you finally manage to get to the bottom of it.
TRP VERDICT: We can't let you stew on this given what you've gone through, so it's a straight yes from us.
2. Unfair fitness punishment
I'd love it if one person's mistake didn't lead to the coaches taking it out on the rest of us. If someone turns up wearing the wrong kit or is late, invariably we'll be lined up after the normal session has finished and be made to do extras while the offender watches on. I can't see how that is fair.
TRP VERDICT: Sorry you've been mugged off again.
3. Slow outside lane drivers
People driving a regulation 70 in the outside lane of a motorway are really annoying, especially when you're in a hurry and you've got to get somewhere asap. I must admit it induces road rage in me and I end up undertaking them.
TRP VERDICT: We prefer to live life in the fast lane, too. You've signed off in style.
