Football? Bloody /football?/ I thought it was for the cricketers! Whatever
happened to the "football season" and the blessed relief of football-free
months in summer?

I believe the fact that the English national team actually managed to
get to the immediately upcoming European Championships rather than their
former habit of losing 3-0 to the Albanian 3rd team when they could get
by with only losing by 2 is cause for National Celebration and a degree
of (probably undue) optimism that more glory will be forthcoming.

Couldn't give a damn about fitba myself, but I gather the above case
from the (Scottish) Sun patriotically announcing its support for Croatia
this morning!

Pete.

Keep up, Guy. It expandeth, in the same way as Saarf London[1]

1 - which is marked "Here be dragons" on my map. I am reliably informed
that Kit Marlowe's body is /still/ lying in a puddle in Deptford, though his
pockets are, of course, now empty ;-)

Nonse. It's bad enuff that the Nut Mines are located just saarf of the
river. This locality is fairly free from dragons but on a clear day you can
see the smoke. Or rather you could until They built a block of flats next
door, thus depriving us of the last vestiges of natural daylight. It's like
working at the bottom of a bloody well. Or, indeed, a mine shaft.

Well, experience the Elephant and Castle and get down the Old Kent Road
on Saturday and come to Burgess Park to the bike track.
(Have I mentioned the bike track before? Grin.)

I had to go through there /last/ weekend. One visit per month is more than
enough ;-)
