I'm sorry, I think it's the heat. Well, it's forgivable, if, like you say, the donkey is in heat. |

Lazybones What music did you buy? I am interested to know so I can criticise. It was 'New Long Leg' by Dry Cleaning. I heard them on Spotify and liked them. Then it occured to me that they were just the kind of band you might see on Later with Jools Holland. I looked them up on YouTube and sure enough, there they were - on Jools Holland. I like them a lot though. |

I think Mrs Fark has loads of the lateral flow ones at home anyway as she is a teacher. She said we can't use it for kid 2 as it was not accurate enough, hence the trip to Chesterfield. You can order the PCR ones in the post. That's pretty much what I said. Am I Mrs Fark now? And neither of you have made me a cup of bloody tea today. |

Each round of games is a matchday. So this one lasts until every team has played 2 games. You can make subs every day (within the matchday) before 2 pm. Once the first game kicks off the game is locked. D This is basic stuff. What is not to understand? Just wait until we get on to cricket fielding positions. That's when it gets complex. I havent indulged in a FF team for many many matchdays, maybe even a matchyear, if that is around about 5 normal years? Gammonball fielding positions are thankfully of no interest to me.

I bought a load of stuff at the weekend. I went to Nottingham for Record Store Day. I have not listened to any of it yet. I am the worst. There is too much football on.
What records did you buy? |

What records did you buy? An eclectic mix suitable for a man in his late 40s clinging on to his fading memories. Prince Wolf Alice Garbage An SFA reissue Tears For Fears, Echo & The Bunnymen & Suede live LPs I've covered most of my bases. Including the inevitable ennui. |

Honestly, when I was a lad you'd have been booted out of RPG club with extreme prejudice for mispronouncing Smaug or Sauron. The grand wizard would simply hand you a revolver and a tot of mithril and that would be that.

Smowg seems like a very black country way of saying it.
An ancient dialect.

He didn't make it up; it's from the Old German Smeugan, to squeeze through a tight space, sharing a root with Sméagol, you low philistine. |

If you ask me ... The Dwarves might have pronounced it one way, and the proud men of Rohan another, and the fisher folk another way on top of this.
I bet someone in Middle Earth said Smawg.

There is this idea though, isn't there(?) that the Black Country dialect is the closest in the country to Old English.

I can't vouch for this website. I hope it hasn't got hidden racism.
