Hello @ixan57. Woken up in time for your Bank Holiday I see. It is indeed a funny old game but there are some folk who sure know how to suck all the fun out of it. Strap yourself in.

The trend continues. As fast as I lose Classics trophies, I am picking up other trophies. I just hope nobody feels an urge to go to Bird Island. Nothing to see there! I am on a mission to overtake @jrsquonk and claim top spot for the episode. Just over 1000 points to go but this is a tough cookie. 31-8 is a mystery. I am 13000 points down and like…[Read more]

Infantino has asked me to not worry about stuff and chill out. In the same way that Brian Moore’s head resembled the London Planetarium (Dickie Davies Eyes, Half Man Half Biscuit), his head satisfyingly resembles the top of the World Cup trophy. Maybe they will parade his head triumphantly around the stadium after the final. I for one, would feel…[Read more]

Maybe all the other referees should go on strike in support of their Somalian colleague.

This is disgusting beyond measure. Many should be hanging their head in shame. FIFA have been trumpeting about how they have been so involved and invested in Africa. Well the US authorities have truly told them where to stick it. Simple FIFA, revoke that…[Read more]

15th June. Scottish Bank Holiday for the World Cup? Humph. Wales never got one when they qualified for the World Cup last time round. Not too late to backdate it Keir. Oh, apparently it is, the elections have already happened.

I’m doing my best. It’s hard work. The low-hanging fruit seems to have all been gobbled up. I’m now halfway up a wonky ladder reaching into thin air.

Following the post-play interviews I can confirm that the England opening partnership is indeed Ducky and Gay.

I’m running a World Cup competition with my uni maths chums. All you have to do is predict how far each team will get. This means we can get stuck into the thrills of the competition and don’t have to watch any football all.  There are six of us against two AI entries, a completely random entry and one based on how the results would turn out if…[Read more]

FIFA

Promised free water.

No longer.

Free water is dangerous.

What makes water safe?

Charging for it.

At “normal prices”

That will be like the “normal” rail prices then?

But at least it will be safe.

Evil is as evil does.

I think Paula Radcliffe had a moment in the London Marathon, didn’t she. Only live on national television.

Shall we just move on.

Good thing all this stuff works on two levels.

Barely though.

Not sure what the Crafty Cockney is supposed to have done but three years before Mick ‘n’ Keef got busted for various drugs offences in 1967, they were also busted for urinating in a public place, i.e. the wall of a petrol station. The fine? £3 each. Fantastic publicity – John Lennon apparently spent the rest of his life jealous this didn’t ha…[Read more]

Of course I have a list @briann. I’ve done over 600 of  them.

Miss June doing her customary celebratory roll whenever we tick another triangulation pillar off the list.

I think they filmed Tom doing his World War 2 talking head segments from the store room at the BP. Rumour has it that he was wearing a fez for some of the early takes and had crispy pig ears on his rider.
