More suicideball at the back nearly costs them again. Has Russell Martin kidnapped Steve Clarke and is wearing a Clarke mask to impersonate? Because they are playing like Southampton FC autumn 2024 edition.

Also, I know the first was stupid passing at the back nonsense but what was Angus Gunn doing?

Scotland would have deserved that again for playing lazy Russell Martin-ball. The only reason you’d play around the back like that is if your players are very unfit. Very lucky there.

That’s two bunches of grapes I’ve got to take into hospital now. @Lord Duckhunter is in there after suffering a heart attack at the sight of all the scantily dressed young women of Poole and now @Challenger with his dehydration..

On a lighter note, a tasty little morsel for Soggy to enjoy (and everyone else)

My reaction live was ‘that’s going to be a penalty’ and surprised although not amazed it wasn’t given. Saw the replay and thought ‘I must have got it wrong as they never referred it to VAR’ and it was quite blatant that Konsa got nowhere near the ball! It was a horrible game, Kane missed at the sitter at the end, but it could have been far worse.

Not surprised Westwood’s developed a beer belly. That beard isn’t doing much for him though. Wonder where the other Pompey Bandstand members are?

Yes, that was the impression I got from the elections access officer in Romney Marsh I’m afraid. Mrs Sums is ok to cast her vote though.

When you can understand them without subtitles in news clips and documentaries about their areas.

Good summary, well written, of the opportunities but also substantial threats Burnham faces https://inews.co.uk/opinion/why-andy-burnham-needs-to-grow-up-4493419?srsltid=AfmBOoriCYFISG2C6_Tq8-WvwbzVc-rQz-qQJ-bYGZ0j_h8LmVZTV6Mo

Farage showing bad temper again over the £5m gift by shadowy Thai-based crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne (originally from Sheffield so I don’t think it’s Niccy!) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn0vx2edk0vo Not the first time recently and Dominic Lawson tells an interesting story at a dinner where he was on the same table as Farage and James Cleverley gently ribbed Farage in this speech but nothing nasty or offensive Lawson reckoned. Farage turned purple with rage and and was yelling ‘Go Fuck Yourself’ at Cleverley when the other guests were laughing.

And made us go lube free because Frost forgot to switch the oven on. Clue was in the name wasn’t it?

My 1980s childhood as well, football in the park off Weston Grove Road, some days exploring the Archeries woods with friends up as far as the memorial at Weston. Other days at the pitch and putt on Weston Shore. Climate has changed now though and my MIL in her mid-80s is certain the sun has become a lot more fierce than it was. I first noticed it during 2018 when we were in the Lake District during WC2018 and the roads were melting under the car. When one of those roads is the infamous Hardknott when you are actually driving on it, that is not.

Broadly agree, does depend on what the level of ventilation in the school is like. Trouble is, at least in extreme heat the kids can be regulated in terms of drinking water, shorter outside breaks. When they’re out of school, in some less salubrious areas the parents will kick the kids out first thing and get stuck into the alcohol and the kids won’t have been given sunblock, proper hat etc.
