Come on man, concentrate. The word yesterday is doing the heavy lifting here!

We have a Piggy Farm Challenge. But it’s on one of those days when I can’t get into Angry Birds. On the plus side I have finally made it up to Jurassic Pork and started on level  35-1 yesterday. Added 2000 and up from 8th to 4th. Do I stick or do I twist?

Just looked down that Surrey side and compared to the Northants lineup.  There is just no way Northants could have won it from 1-2. And they did. Cricket bloody cricket, eh?

A bravo pair?

How strange that in the last few days the Challenge has featured three levels for which Kathy was the trophy holder. Out of respect it ought to be customary not to compete for such an award but I guess not everyone got the memo. Actually, I don’t even know what a memo would look like these days, so it is hardly surprising. Anyway, I think she has…[Read more]

Here is Miss September, signifying the first day of meteorological autumn. Of course it is called autumn. How else could things be autumnal?

Agree, The Hundred is good fun. Watching the finals now. Anything but women’s rugby. Seems like a farcical format although there has been now been one close match out of about 12,

Samit Patel is possibly the best source of anagrams of all time. Samit Patel is also an  an anagram of his real name, Liam Tapets.

Welsh Fire threw away winning positions in their last two matches, finishing with a 3-13 record. I threw away a winning position in Danger Above 7-2. We are soulmates.

As for Carbonite Melt, I think that was a culinary disaster on MasterChef.

No, I think YJB is red in the face with anger that Patel ate the lot.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse for Welsh Rugby…

But what do the Scots care?

Another Seasons Challenge alert @briann.

You have not been charged for this service during our 30 day trial period.

Nine LGBTQ players in England rugby squad. Why is that? Am I even allowed to ask that?   Quite a few in the cricket team too. I’m sure @briann will have a view. I’m saying nothing.

Having said all that, the doc has bagged a “pup” today on a Seasons Challenge. I think over the last  few months, asher, the doc, comex and me have a pup apiece. But I haven’t been scientifically counting.

Yes, pretty quiet these days. There are some exceptions. I always try the ABo levels but it is very hard for me to beat my scores. I could probably beat my scores most days on other levels that I can actually access. A combination of weird level choices and no actual pups does not help, of course. Asher quite regularly posts, also the doc, the…[Read more]

I’m trying @realfish, I really am. Thought I’d start with 7-2. Been on that for about a week. Might have given up by now except for the fact that I have had 162k and one pig left that I completed missed. Enough for the trophy. So if I can do it once surely I can do it again. Surely.

Thanks for the encouragement anyway. And welcome (back?) to the BP.

Ooooooh, I will talk football now. Arsenal about to steal Eze from under Tottenham’s noses. That is so so sweet.

What’s the equivalent in Brechin?

Jackdaws can’t compete with starlings for murmerations but I have been amazed at the size of the flocks and the racket they make in the evening as they swoop around in their hundreds and settle down to roost in the hospital grounds. It’s very Hitchcock.

Won’t get drawn on football matters, it’s still the cricket season.

Welsh Fire now with a 1-9 record. Plucked defeat from victory in the latest match.

It will take me a week to get to Jurassic Pork, in the mean time.

Yes, YJB definitely gone over to the Pork side.
