This means I cannot enjoy my free time as I like to, since there are always things to do: having the thesis printed, talking with my advisor, writing the presentation, preparing what I have to say [...]

We did our job and played our rugby. We were not so good against France (we didn’t play at all), and Ireland (we played the [...]

Geek note: technically speaking, the site is really good. They even have a widget to put on your website.
I put it on the [...]
