But they've probably had a couple of Macdonalds burgers with the drink so they cancel each other out!

People thinking Southgate is a good manager. At the last world cup we only won against minor teams. Croatia and Belgium were far too good tactically. Now we get beat by the Netherlands... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48550951

Slightly different version...

That must come under Q for questioning...

Bit of a mouthful! I wonder how many new human genders there will be? Saw this on a BBC report on indigenous people in Canada. 2SLGBTQQIA [two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, queer, questioning, intersex and asexual]...

Ben, SG, Trogg etc... I virtually stopped smoking 10 years ago but struggled for a long time so in the end decided if I wanted a ciggie I would have one. Always keep a pack at home and the last pack lasted 5 weeks. So, I guess I'm smoking on average 1 cig every other day. I don't half enjoy that smoke when I do have it though! ETA. My better half still nags the hell out of me when I do have one, but she admits it's better than when I smoked 20 or 30 a day.

Just back home after watching qualifying at Signpost Corner...

Used to go to Tynwald, but it's one of the most boring events on the island! (Towlley chibbyr) It is a free meal day for all the MHK's.

Slaynt vie!

As a youngster (17) I got stopped for speeding on Radcliffe Road. My old banger of a car was a bit noisy and the policeman asked if there was something wrong with it. No I replied with a smile, it's just old, a bit like yourself! No sense of humour some people, fine and endorsement...

Back in the early sixties we didn't have a phone, but my elder brother (23 years older than me) had got married and got his own house with phone. My parents used to give me a few pennies to go to the nearest phone box to ring him before going round to visit. I was scared stiff of being shut in one of the old phone boxes (the doors were really heavy) so I used to hang around out of sight then go home and say nobody answered. I still have this phobia about going in phone boxes. Even as an adult (before mobile phones) if I had to use one I would keep the door wedged open with my foot.
