  1. -20C for me. Once in the daytime in Toronto and once in the evening in Frederikshavn, Denmark.
  2. We are twenty kilometres south of Saumur in France and it’s 43 degrees for the rest of this week. No collapsed Old Age Pensioners in the street yet although by tomorrow we might be among them. I remember a summer in the early 1960s when it got up to around 100 Fahrenheit. Centigrade hadn’t been invented then and Celsius was just a wet dream. The hottest place I have ever been was the Syrian desert at Palmyra where it was over 120 Fahrenheit but very dry. The air conditioning on the coach kept it down to 96 F.
  3. How many goals did he give away?
  4. Has anybody mentioned the limit on pension funding and how this is causing GPS to retire early?
  5. Do you lick it afterwards?
  6. I’ve seen talk of signing for Worthing.
  7. At half the price I’d still have to think about it.
  8. We’re in the middle of France for the next few days. It’s just as hot here.
  9. You had just proved my point.
  10. Did we have a choice?
  11. Steady on! That’s a bit near the mark. Any colours except those, surely?
  12. That’s not really an argument. Should we change it every season? Every month? Every week?
  13. That’s a different argument but as democracies go, ours is flawed.
  14. Wasn’t he sent off for a supposed foul in the run up to their first goal? My memory of that game is very selective.
  15. As in “Vote Labour, get Jeremy Corbyn”
  16. That is the situation of course but the question is, Is this right?
  17. The so-called election mandate is interpreted differently by the Prime Minister who when manoeuvred into position then choose a cabinet to suit their own ideas as to what the country should have forced upon them. A different Prime Minister means a totally different government which is rarely the one that the country thought they were voting for.
  18. John Major didn’t become PM in 1990 via a General Election but he did win one in 1992 and then lost to Blair in 1997. He did resign as Party Leader temporarily in 1995.
  19. It doesn’t but in my view it should.
  20. And with the salary he’d get he could even afford to go there.
  21. Personally I hate all the switching between camera angles. It stops me concentrating on the game.
  22. You still don’t understand the EU and you never will. The EU was never about defence.
  23. I managed to get the same two seats that the club evicted me from last year. This should be interesting.
  24. It’s football, but not as we know it. If I wanted to watch a low standard match then I’d go to my local rec on a Sunday morning.
