Merry Christmas to you as well. You wee f*cking radge.

I celebrated the festive period by falling down a hole that Scottish Gas Networks has dug at the end of our drive and failed to cover properly.  If only I knew a decent lawyer.  

Isn't Mrs Superfly a decent lawyer?

Yes - but she can't stop laughing.

Hi Guildford... some excellent trawling there. I've been a quiet impartial observer over the last week(s) or so. I've probably watched too much sport recently.

It's mid-winter here, so that makes it harder to get up at un-Godly hours but I did manage a few 2am-ers... followed by most of the 5am matches for the Euros. Then also about half of the Copa America matches later in the mornings. Some really good games there with great atmosphere at the packed stadia. Entertaining commentary as well. I have my own theory about Latin American v European v English football styles of play and match mentality - which probably deserves a separate thread.
Then on top of all that there's all the local NRL, AFL and some ABs, Wallabies matches in there. Olympics coming up next as well.

So it's no wonder I struggle to reply to alfie's excellent comments. I am awake (just) in the dark with the tv illuminating the bedroom, volume on '14'. If I go up a notch in volume or make a comment on here - then Slovenia scores or England lose a wicket - so I have to be careful what and when I type. Maybe should have posted at 06:46 though! I could have changed history...

Of course, I kept an eye on the cricket (time zones again a killer) and from what I saw, I was very impressed with young Jamie Smith. His batting stance reminds me a little of Cameron Green; which is a good thing I believe. He's also got that calm presence at the crease, confidence in his abilities, seems technically sound and is good to watch. I only saw mostly highlights of him behind the stumps and he looked the part there too. So our prediction and wish paid off, Guildford. We were always right and we didn't have to bribe, beg or plead with anyone at the ECB. They simply came to their senses.

I liked Atkinson's performance too. I'd build a fresh bowling attack around him, Archer and 2 or 3 of whoever the most consistent bowling performers are leading into the Ashes at the end of next year. Not necessarily go for express pace (although that is a bonus); but fast-mediums and medium-fasts with the best fitness, patience and some subtle variability or special skill with the ball. It's the combinations of bowlers that's important and variety which often produces the required results. Team confidence can then build really quickly along the way.

Like the football - players can posses a certain skillset or some particular quality (which most people will acknowledge) and may play well for their PL team but that step up to international level requires an even higher level of performance and even stronger determination (than club level) and perhaps a bit of luck too. Need to up the tempo and put the opposition under pressure moving forward whilst keeping possession of the ball... not keep giving it away and having to start all over again. That's what we do!

I really thought that ball would go in near the end (the two headers) and it could have then been extra time. Would they have the legs for that though?
We'll never know...

No soy Shannen Doherty.

Yes, very sad.

Watched a few episodes of 90210 with the ex at the time. I forgive all the scheming behind the backs of others... for now.

The guys were much worse. Either bell-ends, planks or eejits.... except for Luke Perry of course.

Hey Big G, them bullets was mighty close, weren't they?

Imagine if he'd been wearing a 10-gallon hat and had a fake cigar (or even a toothpick) hangin' outta the side of his smart-arsed mouth?

Could have been a very different outcome, yeah?

That photo of him with a raised fist, bleeding head and the flag over him couldn't have been planned better.

I reckon the only way back for Biden is if there's another attempt on Trump and it turns out to be Biden himself.

Yeah, a show of bravado but imagine if the shooter hadn't been killed and had a chance to reload and take another shot. He should have been dragged off by the ankles just after he hit the deck initially... which was a pretty quick reaction for a 77 year old. I was impressed with the speed. He got the iconic shot but that was a fairly big risk still standing out there in the open. I suppose he must have felt a rush of adrenaline as the blood poured out.

Well done with all that sport watching , PJ Like the way you saved yourself from having to appear on both cricket and football boards with a single post in here

I thought I was doing pretty well with the 2am and 5am stuff - plus Test Match , a bit of Tennis and Le Tour - and some streamed athletics as well. But I didn't go on to the South American games or the local football (understandably as my Tigers are currently a bit of a basket case , alas .) You have the prize I think...

Not sure what to do tonight with all the above absent , completed or rest days. Might try to re-adjust body clock. But all good practice for Olympics , eh ?

Is it safe to emerge yet? Has Gareth been hung? Has Duty taken over with tactical genius Harry Potter as his assistant? Has Superfly got all his gloating over with? Has Jules died? Has Galted finally posted something worth reading? Is Novak the GOAT? Should England have played Phil Schofield on the left to mark Yamal?

No.

That was the only rhetorical question in the list.

No.  

Very much so - I've done some in-depth analysis on the political situation in the US re Trump's ear being blown off, some delightful George Clooney film wordplay with Julius and some rather clever Spanish translations.

I've also done some in depth analysis on the US president thread this morning but it has been met with silence. I can only think it is either too clever and amusing for lesser intellectual heavyweights to understand or it just isn't as funny as I thought it was.

I understood it and managed a smile and an affectionate shake of my head.

I see Duty is making an exhibition of himself in response to Southgate's resignation.

He types with his left hand - what he does with his right hand is between him and Farage.  

Oh god, just had an image (brought on by a recent episode of The Boys) of a human centipede formed by Duty rimming Farage while Farage rims Trump.

I'm feeling nostalgic for 1978 already... Passarella's famous diving header to clear the ball out of the box against the Dutch. He was a no-nonsense defender with a presence. I noticed watching the Copa America... there's that different level of mongrel desperation either with or without the ball.

They'll chance their arm (or legs) more often against some equally fiery defender. It comes off about 8 times out of 10 because they're so used to those kind of tussles. It's like the game within the game - keeping possession at all costs, more surgical one touch lay-offs. If they trap; they then make a very quick decision and then lay it off accurately. When they lose possession; it's all about getting it back and then repeating the cycle. Similarities with netball (according to Raf) in that they've mastered the art of passing angles to one another and it's so ingrained in their style of play.

It's all based on their growing up and scrapping it out on the streets... where these skills are honed at a young age. Similar stuff happens in England, I'm presuming, and no doubt there is no shortage of talent. However, I think because you invented the game, you play too fairly within the intended laws/rules compared to the feral Latinos.

Someone needs to come up with some kind of story for the England team... maybe a band of ruthless marauding thugs from Shoreditch who slash and burn their way to ultimate glory in 2026. Bodies of Latinos strewn across the field, faces twisted with pain, crying out in agony and the Swiss ref ignoring them all. That's how it should be.

Played 'street' football on a rough council estate in Dundee and all it taught me was (a) if you were going to use any skill at all on someone, you'd better be confident you could batter them, (b) the likelihood of a game being abandoned because some lunatic set a dog on us was around 25%, and (c) if the real hard nuts showed up with hammers, don't own up to it being your ball and just start running.

I'm not sure if any of it is transferable to the Euros, but would come in handy in the Copa.

I wonder which of Duty and Truss get the greatest err 'gratification' from Trump getting knicked by a small piece of plastic whilst a couple of republicans die?

S**T on here, though I guess the American political s**tshow is taking up board time.

Forgetful fist.

Michaelsing session over fist. Can't let this happen any longer, rIcKo.

A bit of a warm and balmy winter's day here. Took the tax papers for a drive down to the coast. Another receptionist there this time... Canadian brunette with a nice smile. Last time was an Aussie blonde beach girl... also with a nice smile. Then I popped down to the Leagues club to renew my membership. The lady just printed off a new card with my 5 year old photo and gave it to me. No charge. It expires in 2032.

Checked out some of the merchandise on display. The puffer jackets are overpriced. Even the maroon corduroy caps are $45... or about 23 quid, which I thought was a little on the high side. Tempting though... maybe next time?

How often do you take your tax papers out for a drive? Did they enjoy the scenery?

JuliusHMarx wrote:How often do you take your tax papers out for a drive? Did they enjoy the scenery?

Once a year. About this time. Yes.

I often go the more scenic route, which takes longer... but you drive through 2 distinct zones. The dry scrubby plateau (near Skippy's former 'home') then you descend down into a sub-tropical rainforest. The tax papers love the dappled light effect driving along the curvy roads. Some really nice cafes on the water at the end where we usually have a coffee or a small bite to eat.

I'm often sad when I hand the papers over to the receptionist... but not too worried because I know they'll be returned to me in a few weeks or so.

Also, without the papers to look after for a while I guess you can get out more.

Exactly. You're right on the mark.

I've asked No name Bertie to do a google search on possible ways I can get out more... but so far nothing I already knew or was already currently doing.

Fat lot of help that was. It was a bit like the US politics thread 'research' if you know what I mean.

He won't miss it. Might make trapping the ball a little more awkward though.

Deader than Francine Pascal on here.

I'm off on holiday in a few days and I was going to ask you guys to do my bins again, but I'm now thinking I might just dump the thread out alongside my bins.

Strange how the thread survived the many deaths of Tino and the demises of Jeff and Sean, only to be killed off by LiW losing interest.

Fist.

The video of that f*ckwit in Southport getting hit on the back of the head with a brick and then seconds later being hit square in the plums with another brick has brightened up my morning.

Yeah I saw that also, made me laugh.

Sicond

Good to see there's no bricklaying skills shortage in Southport.

Tird.

It's they only thing worth laying in Southport.

It's his little teapot pose to taunt the po-lice at the start that makes it.

Eternal flaming fist.

Anyone know what time the lesser super tees off in the Olympics golf?

I see Jules put him straight quick smart. It's been a bit quiet on there ever since.

I am sorry still lurking, just a tweak of the computer set up makes it a bit more awkward to spend time on here during working hours.

The Music Section Morning Tea Society lives!

Have to say though that the Olympics special is as poor as the Election special.

I'm not Graham Thorpe.

I've not thrown a timber plank through someone's window.

Although I have roughly tossed quite a few timber planks onto the back of a trailer... with absolutely no regard to their well being.

btw, I know Super is on holiday and not sure whether he's organised his bins... but I saw one with a yellow lid tossed on its side in Rotherham. Possibly his?

No Tino and Rick for a while. Reckon they're busy covering up tattoos and deleting tw*ets.

A t'Waitrose being looted would make for great viewing. Can just picture Dazza and Bazza stocking up on olive sourdoughs and sundrenched vine tomatoes with mozzarella balls.

Saw a dude with a swastika tattoo and a poppy pin, also the folk looting a Greggs, talk about sh**ing where you eat.

Seen lots of people nicking Crocs on their looting sprees. F*cks me right off, hasn't anyone heard of Hi-Tec?

Classless.
