Good Evening Thursday!
Now where was I ? The soccer was a good diversion, although the thread had to attract the usual “I don’t like sport,” naysayers!
For goodness sake; it’s been 55 years since the last time, but obviously no historians around!.
I hope your heart rates have settled down and ready for Ukraine! One thing missing from the Gransnet commentary; apart from the result, was it a good match?
We don’t seem to have a full video, only extended (5 min) highlights.
Now here’s a thought! Someone must have recorded it, so can one of our tech. whizz-kids secretly email a copy?
NSW still in strife with over 20 new cases every day; the morning TV News always covers news conferences of each State and Territory: the NSW and Queensland Premiers along with their Chief Medical Officers are regularly put under the hammer; they must dread waking up each morning!
VIC State Premier, Dan, is now in the chair again after his long lay-off with his back accident and he must be happy to find that the shoe’s on the other foot, so to speak, after all that VIC has gone through! We are pretty clear at the moment.
Talking with Neil earlier this evening to learn that Brisbane is cold 20C and wet.
School holidays up there too, No room left at caravan parks forthe Grey Nomads and those that are there are staying put.
An Insurance Co. adv. on Telly this evening depicting an agent trying to interest an elderly couple to spend the “kid’s inheritance” on a caravan and “go!” pointing out that you never see a tow-bar on a hearse! I thought it amusing, anyway!
Megs Don’t tell me the police have paid a visit! I always thought this thread, being friendly and all that, was inviolate. Hope you receive an explanation!
Finally the Wedding! Tomorrow!? Where’s the reception and how many guests!?
Best Wishes to Everyone and hope the Best Man behaves himself.
Are we allowed to ask what the mother of the ‘groom will be wearing, including your hat, of course? 
Aveline You’ll be relieved to hear that Ian’s hip-hop is progressing well. On crutches, gets two home visits by physio and weekly nurse visit for dressing renewal!
Only 5 weeks to go, according to the bone man, then he can resume my shopping!
I’m OK for essentials, although I’m down to my last drop of (cream) sherry, but seeing as how I'm booked in for a badly needed haircut tomorrow, next door to the off-licence. I should survive.
Provided I don’t open one on the way home! They say don’t drink and drive.
Not sure if that applies to electric mobility scooters? 
rafichagran With all that screeching mobody would hav heard Ernie’s gold “a’rattling in their crate” Thankfully it’s still up there on YouTube along with most of the Classics such as the 2 Ronnies “Fork Handles”; “The Plank” “’Ancock’s “Alf “Our”!
Marvellous! 
Why do I keep thinking you’re a Scouse! instead of a Londoner, only Baldrick’s latest on Cathedrals (6 part) took us to Liverpool which brought back memories of a different kind. Showed clips of all the bomb damage, I lost count of how many continuous nights of visits by the Luftwaffe it suffered all because of its vital role in receiving Atlantic convoys from America, at least those that survived U-Boat packs.
On a more cheerful note; came across Bob Newhart; another clever comedian!
They don’t make them like that anymore, unfortunately! 
Good Health
