On another note, and still in relation to the footie, did you get a look at some of those guys! I was like, woah! come to mama!(not too nice when they decide to hack their lungs up on the pitch though!) Come on girls, (and possibly boys)lets have a voting on the hotest players in the comp so far, (Spain has more than their fair share even if I do say so myself!)

Ok, I'll stop being such a "girl" ha!


Spain deserved to win last night, they completely dominated the game, I was very disappointed in the way Russia played in comparison to how they played before, felt they didn't play to their full potential, and perhaps they still had hangups about being beaten, what was it? 4-0/4-1 in the qualifying heats for Euro 08 by Spain. Spain will also, hopefully, whip Germany's lacklustre team who I feel were lucky to have gotten through, in the final, Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole!!

There was lots of great movement, particularly in the second half, and Torres made some great runs when chasing the through ball or the old 'over the top', which made his failure to capitalise on them all the more frustrating.

When taking on players with the ball, he's been pretty much a disaster sadly.

Yes Muffin, I was happy with the result, but genuinely dissappointed by the Russian performance, I so enjoyed the Holland game, they were a joy to watch.

But they will learn from it and become more consistent with experience and maturity.


Oh, and yeah, we're a good looking nation ;-)

Yeah definitely not Torres' best few games, which is disappointing as a Liverpool fan watching, but Spain as a whole have looked good, and fortunately for them they have a few players who know where the goal is. Hopefully Torres will be able to get a goal in the final...


There is a discussion as to whether Fabregas should start the final... Now Villa is out it looks like he will, but in a way they will miss being able to bring him on later on to change the game!


I really hope they win, it's been a long time coming, and frankly Germany haven't deserved it, whereas Spain have had a tougher route, and put the world champs out!

Indeed Ted, it was a small gene pool that gave rise to the chinless Habsburg kings of Spain, an uglier royal family you'd be hard pressed to find.




Luckily the mockney genes are much healthier, here's my slightly distant cousin



and classy, was that really the princesa?

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
