Michel Platini is campaigning for the World Cup to be extended to 40 competing nations.

Why stop at 40..? Let's get them all in there. There's nothing I'd like better than to sit in a boat while a couple of national football teams do battle on a fast disappearing chunk of rock in the Atlantic. :)

Don't knock it, I've watched cricket being played on the Brambles Bank in the Solent, so that sort of thing is possible. ;)
 
Venus in Furs. That is all.


Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Comes in bells, your servant, don't forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

Downy sins of streetlight fancies
Chase the costumes she shall wear
Ermine furs adorn the imperious
Severin, Severin awaits you there

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears

Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather
Shiny leather in the dark
Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

Severin, Severin, speak so slightly
Severin, down on your bended knee
Taste the whip, in love not given lightly
Taste the whip, now plead for me

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Severin, your servant comes in bells, please don't forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart.

RIP Lou Reed March 2, 1942 – October 27, 2013

Best refereeing ever?

I can't see any damage from my window. No particular wind either - it's quite a nice day. Skies reasonably blue.
 
I am responsible for all 3 fences round my garden, because I was the end house before other building happened. I know you don't have to even have a fence....could just put some wire up, but I like my garden private. Intended to splash out on some tougher fencing to avoid these frequent repairs, but procrastinated as usual. I'm sure you are all fascinated :)
