If people do things without thinking them through, that rubs me up the wrong way.
Every country has an aspect to it that rubs up people the wrong way.
I believe that there's a way to question authority with manners, with dignity. There's no reason to be rude about it.
There was no way I was going to end up in the scrum when I came to rugby - you know, waste my pretty looks.
