When I started KES football was banned, not even allowed on the playground. Rugby and cross country in the autumn term, hockey in the middle term, cricket and atheltics in summer.

I'm not sure the Queen is a lunatic.

Not if Eunice has her way.

The strongest wind speed forecast for tomorrow coincides with high tide. Wellies at the ready !!!

Personally, I try to steer clear of yellow snow.

I don't remember us having back to back storms like this before Brexit.

Satellites and drones help, but the US is spouting as much bs as Russia at the moment.

You never fail to misinterpret banter.

And you still haven't got the attribute values right.

There is the snippet of apocryphal snooker commentary; "For those of you watching in black and white, the green ball is behind the brown".

I belive we are still the only English club to sign a current European Player Of The Year.

If it's the same down your way as it is up here, you can set off with a head wind, turn around, and find you have still got a head wind.

Veeeery useful tail wind !!

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-60312237 "A company that made a rifle used in one of the deadliest school shootings in the US has settled with the families of victims. The settlement from Remington Arms comes in response to a lawsuit brought by the families of nine of 26 victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre. The case marks the first time a gunmaker has been held accountable for a mass shooting. The families say Remington was negligent. The details of the settlement have not yet been disclosed, although the families are expected to comment further at a news conference later Tuesday. Last July, Remington - the oldest gun-maker in the US - offered $33 million to (£24m) to each of the families, falling far short of the $225m they'd sought in court. During court hearings in February, attorneys for the family said that total punitive claims could possibly exceed $1bn. In their lawsuit, the families of five adults and four children who died in the shooting argued that the company marketed its weapons to high-risk and potentially unstable individuals such as Sandy Hook gunman Adam Lanza."

At the cost of a "substantial" financial contribution.

Only if the threat of invasion was actually there. The Russians will have wargamed the situation many times, and evaluated the potential Western response and consequences. Personally I think that the whole thing has predominantly been constructed for the Russian domestic audience to bolster flagging support for Putin. And of course, Ukraine is not intact; the Crimea has been annexed by Russia, and there is still war in Donbas snd Luhansk.

It is the Russians who are saying the West has been 'humiliated'. The SKY report, repeated by Turkish, quotes a Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman. The Russians are saying that those troops who have finished their training are returning to their permanent barracks, others will follow once their exercises have concluded. According to the Russians the West, driven by paranoia, have grossly over-reacted.

I think Putin is just enjoying being the focus of attention and playing puppet master.

It's the blood rushkng to your head, being upside down.
