RD - what was it made me think you were Irish?

The World Cup draw nearly did not happen tonight:


"Two people arrested after discovery of a bomb at the world cup draw".........


Two arrested at World Cup draw


Paddy and Mick were arrested after shouting at a dark skinned man " Oi Thierry, keep your thieving hands off our bomb....."

Ratty, I've always thought the majority of Englands' match going support comes from fans outside of the top Premiership teams, although they won't admit it, most fans want a chance of glory and if their club can't provide it then they look to the national team...

Well it is our first in 29 years ! Might mean little but at least its something at long last, acorns and oak trees

England are now second favourites at 5-1 with William Hill.... "we can win it this time" etc etc


It's always interesting for us non England fans to watch the gradual media hysteria building up down here. The Tartan Army have the opposite problem - we expect to lose! Whilst my prediction is a quarter final exit to Germany on penalties England have to be happy with that draw. Good luck to them though.

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
