So England eh? What do you think the score will be?
I reckon we'll win by 3 wickets for a 5 - 0 series whitewash.

Hi. I intended to sit up half the night playing Xcom2 and Fortnite, but instead we sat up half the night binge watching the Bridge. It's kind of brilliant and terrible. The subtitles lend it gravitas so it's hard to tell whether it's really Saw with better acting or The Bill with more beheadings.

Has anyone ever heard an 11 year old speak so eloquently about politics?
To me, it sounds either made-up or they're repeating what an adult has told them to say.
Anyway... a walk on the Tye this morning, followed to a visit to the farm shop. Beautiful out there today it is.

Lovely day in Glasgow.
Gone out to take the stabilisers off the bike and see how that goes.
Maybe take them off the child's as well.

The Snow Patrol one was actually yesterday. He was receiving an honorary degree at a graduation ceremony I attended, where a member of my family was graduating with a proper degree. They had to hold up the already lengthy proceedings because when they were about to present him they discovered he'd gone to the loo. That Snow Patrol guy is on Sunday Brunch at the moment. He told that story too. EDIT: In other news Australia are batting England all over the park at the moment. |

What I would like to know is how soon that 11-year old can take over as Prime Minister. Monday would be ideal.

Australia falling apart...
EDIT: The cricket team that is, not the country.

So far I've only bought one game in the steam sale and because I'm dumb it's in Early Access, it was Sunless Skies, the sequel to Sunless Seas

At this rate my prediction for England - Panama is 5-0 at a minimum and yellow cards for the whole of Panama.

3-1 to England. Panama are struggling to capitalise on English errors, but there are so many errors they'll get one sooner or later.

The problem with Panama is they always try to walk it into the net.

The problem with Panama is an over-reliance of their economy on the canal, an over reliance on being a USD economy in effect, and mixed levels of literacy and education. On the plus side, their transition to democracy has been very peaceful post-Noriega.
