Whitey Grandad

France aren't really trying.

That is the fear.

A curtain call until we go again.

It's just an end of season friendly.

That's the last thing they'll expect.

Also a great film. The boat that was used in the film is preserved and kept in Key Largo and available for trips. I was thrilled to take a trip on her and even allowed to steer her for a while. For some reason my wife declined to come along. https://africanqueenflkeys.com/

I'm working my way through 'The General and the Genius' about the relationship between Oppenheimer and General Leslie Groves and how they worked together to develop the atom bombs. It was recommended to me when I visited the museum in Los Alamos.

Thanks. I'll give it a go.

Indeed Christophe. We can only hope that football will be the winner.

You don't need an appointment to fly tip. Just sayin' Not that I advocate such an awful practice in any way but if you squeeze a tube of toothpaste with its lid on the contents have got to go somewhere.

Je m'en fous

They sent me some emails. Every time I click 'download' it just refreshes the same page.

Not quite but back to Churchill. I was born in 1949. And it feels like it.

And deservedly so.

I can remember 18 of those.

Maybe, but I know when England will get knocked out.

I wouldn't. But Happy Birthday anyway!

These things always go in cycles of gradual centralisation followed by explosive decentralisation into much smaller units. It's the story of the universe.

A quote from Tuchel, "I haven't seen the data yet but I think..." He's another spreadshit manager. From an analysis by Paul Hirst of The Times of the 37 minutes after we scored and they got their second, "84 O’Reilly blocks a De Paul shot and then breaks free from his position in the midfield block of four, surging forward to tackle Messi and force Argentina back into their own half. Anthony Barry, the England assistant manager, runs off the bench and yells at O’Reilly, demanding that he retreat to his defensive wing position."

I saw the one in '66. My chances of seeing the next are no better than 50:50

I see no evidence of that. Quite the opposite.

What rubbish. Who chose the players? Who chose the substitutions?

But I haven't forgiven them.

Anyone with any intellect would never go near the place.

Here, have a shot. You missed? Here have another one. Pickford saved it? Never mind, have a free header. Hit the post? Try again...
