As someone once said "to play golf is to spoil an otherwise enjoyable walk.” :-D

An odd game is golf. You place the ball on the ground, hit it away from you, then walk after it. Keep doing this until it drops into a hole several hundred yards away.

Doesn't anyone just take a walk ?

And it was the same on the 10 o'clock BBC news. The main (top) news story was a run down of the football. You'd think there were no problems in our government, everything was going along nicely. OK they are a young team, they played well and we are proud of them. End of!! :-( :-(

Don't wallow too much in the muddy pool of yesterday. Take pride & pleasure from the team's achievements.

The only ones who are battered, bruised & bewildered are the die-hard fans.

The first 20 mins (so far) on Newsnight has been devoted to England & football.

Give me strength! :-|
