General Chit Chat

[Hoboh]

One week in and Euro 2016 has already delivered some intriguing ironies, the most spectacular one being Cristiano Ronaldo complaining about over-celebration after Iceland enjoyed taking a point against Portugal on Tuesday night. We’d recommend Ronaldo take a long hard look at himself in the mirror if we didn’t know that he already spends several hours a day doing exactly that.

You post in the guardian Bruce?

I saw this, peed myself and thought it straight out of your book.

Pop star Bob Geldof? He was arguably never a star, and what little fame he enjoyed was transient and a long time ago. A more appropriate description might be self serving, loquacious millionaire bell end

[Prufrock]

Though Bruce would have slipped in how the Boomtown Rats is a belting album, despite Bob's loquacious egregiousness

Boomtown Rats, A Tonic for the Troops and The Fine Art of Surfacing are all indeed fine albums. Geldoff is a bit of a cock, mind.

And Hoboh - The Guardian? Heaven help us!

... & an extremely wealthy one which, given how long ago he was a pop star one had to wonder about.

I appreciate that it would be ungracious of me to wonder how well he paid himself for his charity work, so I won't. I just want to point out that I'm not doing.

Don't think it'd be an unreasonable question. How much was it?

[Bruce Rioja]

Well, it seems only fair.

feck all like the size of Bragg's though, who's actually managed to escape the hit parade forever, like .

Regarding the terrible murder of the young MP Jo Cox near Leeds, what on Earth is a "homemade gun" ??

Apparently, they are not very difficult to make just not very accurate past a few feet and quite dangerous to whoever uses them.
I believe quite a few drug gangs used them.

They call them zip guns over here and there is naturally quite a variety of shapes and sizes.

They can be made using 3D printers nowadays. The only metal part of the gun (detectable in airport security for instance) is the firing pin.

He didn't look like the sort of chap that had a 3D printer in his shed...

Anyhow I want Bobo to search for "homemade gun", then we can all wait for the knock on the door!

And pray what does such a fellow look like?

A white gun?? That's a tad, dare I say it, camp is it not?

Guess it depends on whether it's pointing at you or not.

Watched Andy Murray win the Queens Cup, but the other young Canadian guy will surely be back in finals again. Has a fierce serve that Murray struggled with at times. Very good win by Murray in the end, 6-7,6-4,6-3.

Your typical Canadian - born in Montenegro and lives in Monaco! I think he is ranked in the top 10 in the world.

And probably still more British than Greg Rusedski.......
