Anyone going to the Dundee Utd match, a rare opportunity for us missionary workers in Scotland. Am going with a Utd supporter friend so I suspect I will not be able to join our vociferous support next Saturday. Dare I wear a Watford shirt sitting with Utd supporters?
Morning all, quite a lot of cloud about this morning and light showers have been forecast. So far they have passed us by. Temperatures are still very high making life slow. Some gentle jobs today as I do not wish to wear myself out before my monthly dinner date and football chat tomorrow. I had better find out what Forest and Boro are up to, but already I hardly keep up with Championship news.
This reply may be a bit late, but as long as it's not our old blue away shirt I wouldn't have thought that it be a problem at a friendly. Having said that, I've never been to Scotland. You might find out what our new away kit is.
Not late, its next Saturday - 25th. I think they play in orange so I guess we will have to dress differently, will report back.
I would have thought our yellow is bright enough to not be a clash, though we have black shorts. It will be interesting to see how we change when we don't wear the change kit. Red shorts I assume? Noticeable towards the end of season that was our away kit more often than the stripes.
Good afternoon all, overcast in Rural France, but in the north they have rain whereas it keeps passing us by. Will be catching the Tour this afternoon when they go up into the high Alps. It is the same route that produced Armstrong taking to a field on a high speed descent to avoid a rider who had fallen on a bend. Splendid meal out with my football friends yesterday. It seems as if there is little happening at their clubs worth talking about. Quite a contrast with the goings on at the Vic.
OFH, I presume you mean transfers. They'll probably be caught up in the mad scramble at the end of August.
Geraint Thomas had a spectacular crash as he came down a mountain at high speed. A French rider took the wrong line around a sharp bend, pushing Thomas off the road. As he flew through the air his head hit a telegraph post and he disappeared down the bank into the trees. I thought that was his race over and could imagine a spell in hospital at the very least.. Amazed to see him peddling in not that far behind the main bunch. He must be made of rubber.
Good day one and all. Weather is normal, 31°C currently. Judging by this news report some people must have very strange ways of spending their time. "The French-language Scrabble world championship has been won by a New Zealander who does not speak a word of French, competition organisers say. Nigel Richards defeated a rival from French-speaking Gabon in the final in Louvain, Belgium, on Monday. Mr Richards is reported to have learned the French dictionary and conjugations in nine weeks earlier this year. A previous English Scrabble champion, he originates from Christchurch, New Zealand, and is now based in Malaysia." Could it be that being upside down the words cannot get out of his skull?
New Zealanders are useless at Scrabble in English because they can only use one vowel - a strangulated thing halfway between a 'u' and an 'I'.
