 | Forum Reply | That Ukrainian social media game at 00:59 24 Jun 2022
Was chatting about Ukraine with one of my Colombian brothers in law, and he went off on one about how Putin was misunderstood and how Europe should look to him rather than USA (he felt Biden and GW Bush cut from same cloth). Then he proceeded to tell me about his 3 years living in Soviet Union before the fall of the Berlin Wall and disintegration of the Warsaw Pact. |

Tarrico wasn't the marquee signing, it was Paz. The little Argentinean future legend coming along for the ride as he spoke English IIRC. Never forget his awful debut against the up and coming Bolton when he clotheslined someone, McGinley? Dumped into youths, no strop, no diva stuff, and eventually into our hearts. Legend, yes. Marquee signing, no. |

Sounds like a job for The Colonel... Is the weather due to be good? Garden, or if like me you don't have one, local park. Why push about preparing when someone else can do it for you. Add in beans, corn and salad for non-meat eating freaks. Finger kicking' good.... All 12 of em |
 | Forum Thread | Colombia - it's all got emotional at 23:54 19 Jun 2022
The left wing candidate has won the election, huge turn out and the people (my in laws at least) are optimistic for the future... https://colombiareports.com/historic-victory-for-gustavo-petro-in-colombias-elec I can confirm the atmosphere in Medellin, it feels like it did when Colombia won Copa America in 2001. Brother in law soaked in tears of joy, admittedly oiled with whiskey and beer. My family are working class people, tomorrow I visit a former colleague of Pimball Wizard who is middle class, so am wondering how he will take it. |

I read with horror about T2 Heathrow, as that's where I will land on my return from Colombia. Thankfully no dramas getting away... other than the fact I hadn't actually downloaded my covid pass and my main email account being the only one not to work for first few days... Luckily they didn't ask to see it. |
 | Forum Thread | Pets on planes at 00:29 17 Jun 2022
I know I have read stories about comfort pets on planes for a while but had never seen them. On our flight to Colombia some people close to us had a French Bulldog type thing in a bag, ugly ass thing with no hair. Then on an internal flight today we saw another dog and a cat, looking a little distressed, in a clear back pack. Just seemed strange to me, but as long as the right protocols are employed no problem. |

Technically correct though. When I first went stateside on my own to visit my cousins in Mass my cousin Russ took me shooting with his mates. The guy who took us to the shooting range stressed that guns are for shooting, weapons are for hurting people, a very sensible attitude. IIRC Trump's speech to NRA used the term weapons.... Hmm. Back to the OP... whilst technically correct, the ease of access to firearms makes mass murder easy. |

East London accent? Sounded Ipswich to me, but what do I know I live in London and rarely hear an Ipswich accent. |

That video along with deathgate on Twitter have sold him to me... Such a charming Man (the ladies lurv him - 5 kids to women who aren't his wife!!) Brimming with honour, never lying to his employer, well ok only minor fibs. We are so lucky to have him... And if he makes to the top of government what does that day for the Tory party as a whole? Silence is violence! [Post edited 6 Jun 20:32]

 | Forum Reply | Club v. Country - which comes first for you? at 14:19 6 Jun 2022
If they were both playing at the same time then club, otherwise there is no clash or split loyalties. Ok to be club and country... Used to be easier when there were at least 3 town players regularly starting for England. |
