Illuminati-R-Us

So more than two years since anyone started a thread in here . . . Anyway, I am sitting by the pool right now, something that can be done here year round. I have my computer, a tablet, and a 'phone. What I do not have is wi-fi. So the computer and the tablet access the internet through my 'phone. Up...

So it is Suella Braverman?

So there is a Braverman and a Cleverly.

In any event, it seems the speculation about PF Davie is correct.

He can just time his meetings with Europeans so that he comes right after Sergei Lavrov, then they won’t complain about him too much.

You share a birthday with Dostoevsky (in the Gregorian calendar).

Mactep, I can well imagine that Singapore is an oasis of calm that barely notices that anything's been happening in Israel. I wonder, though, whether the same is true of your immediate neighbours to the north and south. Just guessing, no hard evidence here, but I am thinking the Indonesians probabl...

And now Frank Boorman . . .

I don't remember
I don't recall
I've got no memory
Of anything at all

So I found this one from someone who is dissatisfied with Germany's level of support for Ukraine.

I on e knew a Greek chap who would say, “it’s all Turkish to me”.

And for what it's worth, in the quarterfinal, South Africa defeated France by one point. In the semifinal, South Africa defeated England by one point. In the final, South Africa defeated New Zealand by one point. As one Saffer friend said, "Yeah, we are the one point nation!" With the exc...

Wow. Saffers win an absolutely thrilling Final, 12-11. I was rooting for the All Blacks, but wow. I'll become a Rugby fan yet. When the Kiwi try got called back, the fellow sitting around the bar from me vigorously threw his beer mug into the sink behind the bar, smashing it. The barman didn't thro...

Hearing reports that the other Irish bar, over where the Orchard girls are, has over one hundred people queued up to get in.

So the Irish bar is absolutely hopping just 35 minutes before the final.

Then we heard the sound of broken glass

Followed by one of the Saffers shouting, “Kiwis did it!”

I could say “as clear as the summer sun”, but that would have to be understood in the proper context of the opening act of the play “Henry V” by that fellow from Stratford-upon-Avon

I don't know much about this individual, but I like the advertisement.

For what it's worth, I have a beer riding on the outcome of the final. The person with whom I have the bet didn't ask me. When I predicted South Africa would win, she just said we know have a bet, where she is for New Zealand. Someone else gave me a little stuffed kiwi (a bird, not a human) she made...

Congrats to England for a Worls Cup bronze! That was, again, a fun game to watch. I didn't watch it. However, I'll head over to the Irish pub probably around midnight, so they may replay it. Meanwhile, down i the German Secons League, SpVgg Greuther Fürth 4 - 0 VfL Osnabrück. Played 57, won 28, dra...

So Irish pub around the corner not showing England v Argies, the alternative is to go to Orchard Rd and then fight the Orchard girls at 5am while trying to get a taxi home. Decided to give it a miss.

Any predictions and/or preferences fir the two Finals tomorrow and Sunday? OK, I have no doubts pn Richard's and the Scottish members' preferences on Friday, nor on tubeswell's for Saturda/, but otherwise? I think I would predict Saffers and England, but both of these are close. So far, the only kn...

So no matter who wins the Rugby World Cup final, out of the ten tournaments, four of them will have been won by South Africa or New Zealand, three of them by whichever team doesn't win four, two of them by Australia, and one by England.

So watching a replay of New Zealand and Argentina. It looks like the Argies are going to lose this time also.

Brexiteers led for the first 77 minutes, but the final result is,

SAFFERS!
