My Canadian Wordle chum Trader Kate sent me a link to a song by Canadian 1980s band Doug and the Slugs. Ever come across them @brianN? For band names, they are right up there, not so sure about the music.

Ignore this @hunnybunny.

Here is a fairly ancient football question for you @brianN. Apologies if I have asked it before. In my 1970/71 football stickers album, which covered Division One (then the top flight of course) and the best players from Division Two, and which had in the region of 350 stickers, there was only 1 (one) black player. Who…[Read more]

No offense taken @briann . Of course, I have no idea what you are talking about. Football games from 75 years ago?

@BrianN she quit because her hair got wet?

Well at least Arsenal won something this year. Certainly the year of the underdog. Aberdeen must be well supported round your way @BrianN? Are they dancing on the streets of Brechin tonight?

@BrianN no comprehende

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Your hat is safe @brianN. So are ABo puppies. Another long long gap in The Challenge.</p>

We know it’s really like this @brianN.  Some useful techniques for you here.

Alright, add a Texan.  I flung a bit on the daily challenge yesterday.  Couldn’t beat my previous high score, but that’s ok.  Honestly, I dont think I’ve played in about 10 years. I do occasionally get the sherif notice when one of my top scores gets defeated.  I’m glad to see there are still players playing.  Sipping a Gewurtztrami…[Read more]

Cue @brianN…

I can’t let it go @brianN!  Does getting the high score on a Challenge (AB 3-10) four days late still count as a runt?  I’m claiming it. If anyone beats that they will be extremely lucky. And I will be crying. I was riled by losing 2-17 earlier in the week. Bear. Poked.

@desperate-dan Terry Fox is a true Canadian hero. Very sad but look at all he accomplished. Every September schools & communities hold a Terry Fox run, which continues to raise so much money. There is a beautiful statue & memorial just outside Thunder Bay to mark the spot where he was forced to abandon his run.

@briann yes we can claim ketchup…[Read more]

Those are great covers. Shipbuilding cover is really nice.

@BrianN Doug Ford is making news coverage across the pond? Here you either love him or hate him, no matter what he’s doing.

I never voted for him but I like what he’s doing.

Years ago there was a very patriotic “I Am Canadian” beer ad for Molson Canadian beer. Now the actor from that ad…[Read more]

Visited the location of the slate mine Everything Everything video today. You’ll know the one @brianN. Twiggy did a big wee wee there.

@BrianN regarding the golden throne: I was surprised they were prosecuted given a earlier police statement that they had nothing to go on. Statement from the owners they hope it is a flash in the pan.

Great time in Amsterdam, very friendly people, Great pubs restaurants and plenty to do and see. One minus the streets were covered with litter and piled up rubbish (seagull haven) don’t know if there was a strike on. I thought Glasgow was bad but this was bad. The ship was top class, the crew all philippeno (whom could not do enough for you)…[Read more]

@BrianN just back from a mini cruise to Amsterdam with a 2 night stop over. Had a fantastic time.

Well, he turned up. Did the windows. Said he wasn’t insured to go up a ladder. You’re made of sterner stuff north of the border @brianN.
