Very clever. That really made me laugh though it's not a laughing matter.

I went on the Eye some months ago. Felt like a waste of time.

Those Aussies. Thinking of becoming a Republic again but still insist on using the Queen's English, which us Irish obviously fail miserably at........ https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2017/aug/08/computer-says-no-irish-vet-fails-oral-english-test-needed-to-stay-in-australia

Don't knock it. You've achieved enlightenment ☺

And that quote just goes to show how irrational a large percentage of leavers are and how seriously divided the country is.

http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/theresa-may-philip-hammond-david-davis-brexit-split-a7830286.html This suggests anything can happen which is basically where most of are at in not having a clue what will happen.

Today's story in the Telegraph didn't get there by accident. I think a lot can happen before the Commons gets as far as a vote on Brexit. What if there was a vote of no confidence in the government? Another election? I still think there is life in the anti Brexit dog though I'm more hopeful than optimistic.

Marr was commenting on the headline and in his tweet said it was a major problem for the Tories. I think it's the fact that they knew a large brexit bill was coming that they thought getting a bigger majority as most expected they would, would help ease the breaking of this news. So it's more to do with the amount of it. The foreign secretary did after all say the EU would have to whistle for their money. It's interesting that this news breaks when they're all on holiday.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/08/05/uk-ready-pay-40bn-brexit-bill-eu-talks-trade/ According to Andrew Marr on Twitter this morning, this headline is the real reason there was a GE this year.

Wow. That's freaked me right out malumbu.

Was it a colour clash? Our neighbours know not to park anything near our one that doesn't go with grey.

The lid of our bin is broken and currently in it. This sort of tactic must surely encourage people to look in as they don't even have to lift a lid. The council have been informed.

Just finished watching Homeland, series 5 I think. Would have happyish if it ended there but I read there is another season. I've had enough of House of Cards even if there is another season to come. Restarted watching Saul on the drip. It's enjoyable but hasn't entirely grabbed me yet. I did watch Stranger Things too. That was good. Looking for the next one. Maybe Narcos or Battlestar as recommended here.

I don't know that the beyond is 'great' but neither do I know what 'system' might have been hacked.

Last Sunday, quite early in the morning my phone started playing Fisherman's Blues by the Waterboys. I was just leaving the room without the phone and thought who could be ringing me at that hour. Though I have that song on my phone it wasn't even my currently selected ringtone. I went to the phone and found that I wasn't receiving a call, it was just playing the song. The only way I could stop it was to turn the phone off. I turned it back on and all was good until a while later it started playing it again. Same procedure stopped it. A couple of hours later I walked into the kitchen where Alexa (my Amazon Echo device) resides. She obeys instructions by saying her name first. Well I didn't even say 'Alexa, good morning' upon which she will usually tell me some interesting historical fact about the day in question. Unrequested, she started playing the same song, Fisherman's Blues. Not only that she wouldn't respond to her name. I couldn't get her to stop. I had to pull the plug out. That was pretty weird. Can anyone explain how this might have happened? As an afterthought and probably entirely meaningless unless you believe there are spirits out there who try to contact you, I recalled why I liked that song. On Sunday mornings at 6am, there is a radio programme about fishing called Fisherman's Blues and it starts by playing this song. As an early riser I sometimes used to listen to it even though I have no particular interest in fishing. However it reminded me of my long departed Dad who fished as a hobby and quite well too. He was national champion on two occasions and an international. I had a radio next to the phone, though it was turned off. However I realised THAT programme was probably just starting when my phone starting playing the song. All logical and illogical theories would be of interest to me. Do I download Frank Sinatra's My Way on my phone in case Mum wants to make contact?

Last year I think I predicted Arsenal which shows what I know. So here goes. Man U Arsenal Man C Spurs Relegation Huddersfield Watford Brighton Promoted Preston Fulham Villa ETA I was going to select for relegation, Spurs, Liverpool and West Ham but that was only because no one would disagree with me......

Well good for Juan Mata. Hope others follow suit. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/08/04/juan-mata-pledges-one-per-cent-manchester-united-salary-charity/

I think last season WH suffered by being on a much larger pitch than they were used to. I imagine the only thing that stopped them reducing the size of the pitch was because the nearest fans would be about three miles away if they did.......☺

Plenty of stadia cater for more than one sport. The Aviva in Dublin for one where both football and rugby are played, sometimes within a couple of days of each other. Hull I think, football and rugby league. I don't think it's that difficult and if it suits Spurs I'm sure they will do it. Unless there is something in their agreement with Wembley to stop them.

Even if that's the case re. the pitch, I presume there is no reason they can't reduce it's size to that of WHL.
