Ah. I didn't think much got out from this cloistered society, Monty. My apologies to all.

Good luck to both of you, Gemini.

Top 'o the pile! Good grief. Beginners luck methinks.

This is not a personal story but a local one. Two years ago a car careered into a pre-school centre situated in Sydney. Two young girls were trapped underneath the vehicle for some time. Both were severely injured. One young lass lost one leg beneath the knee, the foot of the other leg, most fingers...

Out on the right wing, Brazil are fielding an unknown lad called JINHO.

Sounds almost real does'nt it?

Dujon

It seems, TANGO, that there has been a levelling of the field in performances this time around. Maybe some teams have improved and others are 'pacing' themselves - though I doubt the latter. On the fake injury matter: maybe it's time that players have a certain amount of time to get up off the deck ...

Well done, blurred and Smackey! I wish I was that fit. :( Pennington Flash, eh, Bench. That brings back memories. My great uncle used to have a farm there (Davenport) which I believe has now been demolished and replaced with some form of parkland. As a side line he used to breed maggots for the loca...

I didn't watch the game (it started around 2:00am here) but after wandering around the traps I understand that Australia's finishing was woeful, though Brazil too missed chances. While I didn't expect the Aussies to win I'm disappointed that they didn't manage to grab at least one goal. Then again I...

I think you'll find, trotter58, that there's not one post so far which indicates an opinion that Maradona was not an exceptionally good player. I think I'd put Maradona in the same basket as Mike Tyson. Tyson was a brilliant boxer in his younger days, I very much doubt that in his prime he met an op...

Dujon

From the outside it certainly looks like Maradona is flawed as a person. George Best was also flawed but didn't as far as I know ever attract attention on the football field for cheating or off the field for taking illicit drugs or shooting up his neighbourhood. By his own admission Best was an alco...

Nice piece, Gertie. Thanks.

Memories, memories. I remember Roger Milla from Cameroon. I think he was still playing when he was 92.

Still, a good player - I always liked him. I saw an interview or documentary some years ago - he came across as a decent bloke and articulate to boot.

Dujon

The BBC are reporting it as 'an open fracture of the tibia'. Poor sod. He missed the last WC through suspension it seems. Add to that his previous break and he's not having a great time. I don't think it'll help his (rumoured) move back to Europe either.

Mine is one which reminds of summer rather than one I'd particularly delight in on a summer's day. It was an arrangement of Maria Elena. The artist's name escapes me. Nevertheless it was a guitar piece (naturally, I suppose) superimposed on the sounds of waves washing onto a beach. The guitar was fa...

I used to own both the trilogies of the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, plus a small (and darned expensive) filler-innerer which covered a small missing section pertaining to a couple of the characters. Regrettably I lent the first two of the first set to a staff member and, not surprisingly, didn't ...

"I'm a banker" is guaranteed to get a reaction - never good. 26-years of personal experience in that. It's so prevalent that one of the local banks used it in their advertising. They tagged it with a phrase something like, "(pause for reaction) but it's OK, I'm with Dujon's bank. (cue sighs of relie...

Dujon

I sympathise, Mof. It doesn't affect me directly (I'm a bit old for bopping around on a dance floor or willingly sending myself deaf!) but the same thing has happened over and over in Sydney, even though it's a city some 20 times as populated as is Bolton. In some cases it has been because of develo...

Thanks for the article, Athers. I'm interested to see how well Mexico fare in this W.C.. They appear to have a decent home league (and the money to keep players at home - there seem to be few Mexicans in other world leagues when compared with the skill pool of them and, say, some South American coun...

G'day, Trotts (I hope that's not a problem and is just a name), Welcome aboard the good ship Lollypop, though it's not always all sweet and fulfilling. :wink: Don't be embarrassed by your short term following of the beloved BWFC as there's a few of us on here who are also 'Johnny-come-latelies' and ...

Part of the pleasure of working, Gertie, comes from those with whom you work. On that level it seems you have top scores. Even a job you adore can sour if you are forced to work with someone who is, to put it crudely, a total arsehole. Been there, done that. When considering changing jobs (or at lea...

Mine's as prosaic as that of Faninoz. I live in Australia which is often referred to as 'Down Under'. My name is John. So, when working on some sort of user name I did the obvious (dropping the 'h'). I'd forgotten about the rather famous West Indian cricket wicket-keeper and, when the penny dropped,...

Monty, the reference to 'b's and 'd's has indeed passed down through the world of pedagogism. Naturally, like many other aphorisms, it has moved out into the general populace - in a bastardised form - as a basic truth . I refer of course to the phrase 'bees knees'. As we are all well aware this mean...
