Amazing when full facts are reported. Still, plenty want to be selective when making a point, which in turn just makes more folk suspicious of claims/science etc. Longer terms trends are a far better indicator. It is nevertheless bloody hot, and feels worse today than any this week.

Looks like Gonzo might be getting wet fairly soon! Big storm between scousers and mancs, with some hits further north, including Lytham.

Deniers are stupid. At the same time, spending council money on fashionable statements and policies are pointless unless they actually achieve something. Purely virtue signalling just makes opposition grow. There are easy wins available, that may actually save money too in the long run, but authorities have mixed approaches to actually doing them.

So long as they only use green energy, they're fine. Wondering how many actually have signed up for a green tariff? Anyway, there are plenty that don't deny the climate is getting warmer, they just refuse to say it's man made and say its just a cycle. Bit of a bollocks argument, as is that spouted by full on deniers, but you'll never convince everyone.

Rogers for Rice, no problem. Not sure about James' replacement.

ENGLAND V PANAMA
First game was excellent, although not perfect, with defensive frailties to be addressed. Second game was pants with creative frailties to be addressed. No different to any other major tournament we play in. Two games in and he manager is clueless because he didn't select specific players. We all have ideas about who should have gone, and the manager has to live or die by those decisions, but fucking hell, we're top of the group, in the early stages- give the guy a break ffs.

Current lightning strike rate for the UK, including just off the NE Coast, is 456/minute. Barmy.

I don't think most of us disagree that the vast majority of clinical staff are great. Nevertheless, there is undoubtedly a bit of a history of murky dealings. It is also very inefficient, and clinical care isn't always as good as it should be as a result.

Dogs and the vets
Happy dog there! Just had my third one down the vets for his routine blood tests wrt to epilepsy medication. He gets hugely stressed when they do anything like that and came home virtually merged with me, panting his head off. Reminiscent of "the fly".

That's fucked it. He'll be pickled in 12 months! 😀

Stockport County - Play Off Final - 24th May
Yeah, I saw that video a bit back and notices the alcohol free. Presumably it all was, but there may have been a mixture.

Meanwhile in Israel
Are you saying that the UK caused the current conflict out there? Moreover, if we do get engaged in a conflict, then the last thing we should be doing is giving succour to those involved who might actually be an enemy. During the second World War, we sent German citizens who lived here to camps, as a means of mutual protection. We certainly didn't allow a load of German citizens in from there!

The NHS wouldn't release some requested data to the Cass review neither. Definitely need some investigations.

England v Ghana
It wasn't the result per se, but the lack of ideas or willingness to try something a bit different. Not necessarily the manager, but those on the pitch. I remember the manager clapping and clearly praising Madueke the first time he went on the outside, beat a man, and put a dangerous cross in. Not sure he did it again that half. Maybe Rice- Arensal team mate- could have had a word and said well done, don't be worried about mixing it up and going on the outside. Or similar!

Whitby- a bit of a move. Iirc you're in Lincs? Any way, enjoy it. Make sure you still have stuff to do though. Decorate the new place throughout ☺️

Condolences. Spoke to a fellow dog walker a couple of days ago, and she lost one of hers last week. 😢 What a shit couple of weeks. Raise a glass to her!

It is for me and thee. Nevertheless, we are a Christian nation fundamentally and historically such procedures tend to go along those lines.

My other half is having to become even more well versed on all things road surfacing. I'll see what she says.

Dumfries and Galloway. A few places for course fishing now, though some a big locks. Not always easy to find out how to get permits though; at times it is a dishevelled notice on a gate or layby that explains things. I went to a fishery, but not a commercial. I've had eels before, but got around 4 in total over two visits. Simply impossible to remove the hook from a couple of tiny ones as they had swallowed it right down, and they are almost impossible to hold. Bigger ones are a bit easier to handle, though still very difficult. Went worming last year on a couple of lochs in the North, and got a couple of brownies, but it is virtually all fly fishing up there, and no coarse.

Eze looked a bit lost when he came on too, but it was probably a bit late by then. Pattern was set.
-
England v Ghana
Bit naff to say the least. Bit surprised by Ghana as they've clearly got some decent players and didn't show a great desire to win and try to get through, but it was a poor attempt to break down the stubborn defending.

England v Ghana
Senior players have to look at themselves though. More leadership, getting into their teammates to up the tempo and even make some on-pitch suggestions and show some initiative. I do think we stick with inverted wingers too much, and maybe the manager should have changed it before, but the players themselves ought to be able to go both ways.

It's been dull with little invention so far.
