Return of an old friend


Yesterday, by coincidence, my blog entry was exactly 250 words long. If you’ve been with me for a while, you’ll know that I got a bit obsessive a couple of years ago and made ALL my blogs exactly that length. I’m pleased to say I got out of that habit, but I’ve decided to bring it back this week, just by way of a challenge!

Ted and Beryl were on good form tonight. Ted was his usual catty, witty self and Beryl had made enough food for an Army.
We’re going back round again tomorrow, to watch the England game. I don’t care if they qualify, I just want them to win 3-1 so I get full points in our prediction game. That game, by the way, has become my latest obsession. I spend every spare moment reading up about the players and trying to work out the likely score. The more I read and research, the more I realise these two things: football is a really stupid sport, and the people on TV who are paid to analyse it really haven’t got a clue what they’re talking about… I’m sure Alan Hansen has his virtues, but I don’t see the sense in having him as the main analyst for the England matches when he’s a Scotsman who hasn’t played the game for twenty years. But what do I know? To me, Gary Lineker has the presenting talents of a daffodil but the BBC still use him, so who knows….??
