mary1947 2,079 Posted July 10, 2022 Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 To give me a break I tried to teach master to iron, finding the most difficult thing to iron masted wanted to iron one of hos shirts. I explained that when you iron a shirt the piece you have ironed moves away from you, right lets start first iron your coller, then place the side with the buttons on place on your ironing board, wow!! (so far so good) then the moans came in, each tome the shirt was placed on the ironing board it would fall on to the floor. 3 times this happened !!! Master Oh! I give up. And that was the end of the lesson (I knew that we should have started with handkerchief's) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brew 5,409 Posted July 16, 2022 Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 I'm not a great football fan but congratulate England women's team, it was a joy to watch. They ran like deer, showed excellent ball skills and no rolling on the ground crying for momma. No spitting, no exaggerated goal celebrations, no unnecessary appeals, no threats of violence and no hogging the ball. Brilliant. Perhaps the men should take notice... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,134 Posted July 16, 2022 Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 I agree with you 100% Brew. Tina and I have been glued to the screen. There's been some superb performances. And the England 3 Irons, 13 goals in two games can't be bad. The only annoying thing is the post mortem dissecting at half time by those 'erberts with Mike's shoved up their nose. One of whom talks so fast, it must be shorthand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted July 16, 2022 Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 I've not seen any figures, but I wonder how much the women are paid compared to the men. I'll bet it's nowhere near the stupid money the men get. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PeverilPeril 3,279 Posted July 21, 2022 Report Share Posted July 21, 2022 Enjoyed watching it. A few 'iffy' moments on both sides but the result was right. A good indicator that they can go all the way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

woody 552 Posted July 21, 2022 Report Share Posted July 21, 2022 Well done the girls, some of the overpaid fairies in the men's game should take note of how you conduct yourselves. You are a credit to your sport. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,134 Posted July 21, 2022 Report Share Posted July 21, 2022 I'm busily watching the Austria v Germany match. Not a bad game at all. Buts what's with all this high fiving by the subs before they come on? They travel to each and every one on the bench including all subs, trainers, coaches, medical team etc. I'm surprised they don't continue along the first row of the stand. Two nil to Germany. Verr Gutt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LizzieM 9,507 Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 It was great to see the England girls lift a major trophy. There were no theatricals like you see in the men’s game but what I didn’t like was watching the very obvious time-wasting in the last 5 minutes. Every time an England player had the ball she hung around the corner flag. I can understand why of course but they should have really been penalised with extra minutes added on. If the football boot had been on the other foot and Germany had done that then there would have been a lot of criticism against Germany. Never mind, we won and showed the lads how it’s done! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
