    Good Lord BBW, that sounds like a pretty hairy time. <yikes>

    If you are no longer writing hope you are doing something you still enjoy.

    Congratulations on the forthcoming event. You will need a few £3000s over the years.

    though they weren't chosen, they could have been, correct? So...in fact, it should be Team UK, we just decided not to take any Irish players...!

    Watching ITV4, which for some reason is showing highlights of a game of us against Villa in 1983.

    Packed East Stand, pitch even worse than last season, fantastic long range goal by Rostron to win it at the death, and a presenter stating "Watford definitely on course for a place in Europe now".

    Wish I was there :(

    Morning all, sun blazing down already, I think it is going to be hot. ;)

    A quick coffee then start on the days tasks. One of my wheelbarrows has a tyre that keeps going flat. Despite checking for punctures there seems nothing wrong with it. Why do they charge as much for a new tyre and inner tube as they do for a complete new barrow? <grr>

    Góðan daginn öll. Cappuccino, coffee, tea donuts and fruit are on the bar.

    Frothy cappuccinos for for al, HH, Leon and W_Y
    Coffees for COYH, Frenchie, Kev rob theo and vic-rijrode
    Strong coffee for Sandy
    Milky coffee for Yorkie
    Espresso for SuffolkHorn
    Strong black coffees for Bragi Norway and zen
    Black coffee half hot half cold and no sugar for Charlie
    Tea for BHD jsybarry jerzeypie Lloydinio NZ and BCFCRed
    Hot chocolate with marshmallows for BBW
    Tea with skimmed milk and no sugar for GG

    All in a hurry, lots of bad weather and still no telephone - three weeks now. I think there are two reasons for this the first is the replacement part is lost and the second all our Polish people have gone to England to work at the Olympic Games.

    Let's get this sorted out
    Great Britain is England, Scotland and Wales
    The United Kingdom is Great Britain and Northern Ireland
    and
    The British Isles is Great Britain and Ireland.

    Great Britain is so named to distinguish it from Brittany (Grande Bretagne and Bretagne).

    I remember when Stewart Scullion played in the Bi-Centenial Tournament in 1976 for the USA they were referred to as Team America, odd when none of the other nations in America (north or south) were represented and none of them had had 200 years of independence from the British.

    With no computer at the weekend it is a long catching up.

    Sorry for your cat BBW but good luck with all the other things specially the baby. The academy is waiting.

    zen it is all England and Skótland to us. The rest is difficult to understand.

    Hornette thanks for the explaination of bar mitzvah and bat mitzvah.

    Was Saturday as bad a 1:1 result indicates and I remember even Nathan Ellington managed to score for Watford against Wealdstone one year.

    ..and the related islands - Anglesey, Orkneys, Hebrides, Scillys, IoW etc but not the Channel Islands. However, for historical reasons anyone born here who is a "true" Jerseyman/woman (both parents and all 4 grandparents also born here) can represent any of the 4 home nations and France.

    Surely that should read 'or France'. ;)

    On the subject of Ireland, I see our juniors won their second Milk Cup match this afternoon - 4-0 against Co. Armagh
