Sleeping cat (Boo) but you can really only see a nose, plus limbs poking off in different directions

Boo is up there somewhere ...

Absolutely ... and maybe that's what hit their confidence when suddenly the stones weren't doing exactly what they planned for the first time in the tournament (?)

So sad to see how well the GB pair did during the group stage only to struggle in the two games that mattered :(

Hmm ....

Colourful "Green Day" pyjamas ?

or

Colourful, green day-pyjamas ?

:-)

When You're Near Me I Have Difficulty - XTC

Aha... maybe Gruda cover 🤞

Definitely. But suddenly Baleba's form has returned, Utd look a little less of a shitshow, and I think we're expecting an unrefuseable bid in the summer anyway ...

Hopefully not, but I can see it happening

Expecting a late Baleba bid ?

It's late

Thanks ... I assumed there would be because of how many each team would lose

In the UK there aren't normally clashes in most sports ... except cricket and international (test) matches ... in which case the teams just have to carry on without their best players

Asking from the UK ... Is there a big mid-season break for the Olympics, or does the schedule carry on without those selected?

I couldn't if I tried

i know! I mentioned it to Charlotte and she said "yeah, that was your idea"

This was about 3am Sunday night, so I remember nothing .. but very possible :-)

Back in the day when they could print the rules in the box-lid, instead of a 40-page rule book :)

How is everything? all good? I think we're coming along to see you at Katie Fitzgeralds in the spring ...

Roll a die and move ... but was it a circular track? Might have had that one as a kid ...

I'm gonna take a massive punt and say Leicestershire

Also, I read somewhere else ... When you get a Nobel prize, you are give a gold medal which you keep somewhere very safe, and also a crappy plated one which you put in a frame for public display ...

I wonder which one he was given

Amazingly, she wasn't the first choice. Apparently, Alan Cumming was (he'd already done the US one) but he wasn't available

I thought the same re: the boxes ... but I do think they added the creaky hinges afterwards :-)

If you're near to London, get yourself along!

Or East Hagbourne for that matter, wherever the heck that is 😀

no need to apologise! Love reading these, so happy to guess :-)

Is a chilly bin what we in the UK might call a cooler box?

As Brighton fans living in Stoke on Trent, we sometimes have to drive a couple of hours South so that we can sing "you dirty Northern bastards" at the opposition :-)

Awry definitely ... and albeit (al-bite)

Your book arrived today, ready to be wrapped for my daughter for xmas

I hope she'll enjoy it as much as I enjoy your posts

N.

Buying one for my daughter ... I think she'll love it

By the way... do you have local readers? Has anyone ever recognised themselves or friends in your posts?

Diana Dors' real name was Diana Fluck

She used to tell a story of going back to her hometown to open a local village fête, and the mayor - so worried about mispronouncing her name - ended up introducing her as the "Always lovely Miss Diana Clunt!"

Nipple bars do make you easier to spot ...

Right

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community.

Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

Good for you!

We're driving back to Stoke straight after ... I can't remember whose stupid idea that was ;-)
