Just come back on, feel like I've been through it, going to make a hot drink  ;D

I predict the Argies will win on penalties following 2-2 after extra time.

Wow that's good!  :o  :y

What are your predictions for tonight's games M'lud???

I predict that England will take the knee as they stand with Harry and Meghan against racism. Ginge and Whinge won an award you know. :)

Those two need to be careful , after what happened to his mother one minute you're here & then you're gone, just have to reach out to the right people.

Taking the knee before your opponents seems kinda submissive to me and I propose that they perform an English style Haka instead to intimidate the Frogs!  :y

Maybe an aggressive Morris dance?  :)

This is more like it!  :y

It is.

Imagine if Tyson Fury dropped to his knees just before the start of the fight.

They don't even know why they do it now. Linked to the armed robber George Floyd probably. :-\

In the orange sector! And look at the contribution of wind. Net zero is a fantasy.

I heard on the tellybox this morning that wind has produced 2% of our electricity this week.
When you consider the amount of taxpayer money it has had in subsidies its a scandal.

Wind power is virtually useless, too spasmodic.
Solar power is no good as when you need it most in cold winter weather there is no sign of the sun.
We are an island surrounded by sea so wave and tidal power is the way to go but no numbnut politician is interested.
I really fear for the future and am seriously considering moving to The Gambia where freezing to death is not an option.

Power cuts , water outages ,terrible drivers ,poor street lighting, corrupt police ,toll stops/road blocks  "10 dalasi please ,nice to be nice"
so, just like the UK  ;D

only one set of traffic lights to negotiate , not that any of the locals know how to use them  :D
the several £5 road building taxes i've paid don't seem to have done much good ,so also much like the UK ,though UK road tax is £360  :(

have you visited Banjul meat and fish markets ?  :-X

We have been going to The Gambia for over 20 years and 6 years ago bought a compound and built a couple of houses, one for adopted Gambian family and one for us for less than the price of a garage here in the South of England.
We have lived there from January to April for the last 4 years and absolutely love it.
Power cuts are no problem as we have a generator and all cooking is done with bottled gas or charcoal.
We also have a bore hole so no water problem.
I love the Gambian driving, just bully your way through or use the local bush taxis, great fun.
Everything is so cheap as we use the local markets, even the bribes are cheap so you can live like a millionaire on a UK pension.
We have used the Serekunda markets which are closer to us with all the sights and smells they have.
Wall to wall sunshine and virtually zero humidity, absolutely perfect.
The only downside is the 5am mosque call but you get used to it fairly quickly.
