Does it even qualify as dancing if they sat down for most of it?

Ah jaysus, was hoping for someone we haven't played in a long time.

Mint Sauce

Does anyone actually know what's going on. How did we just get shifted by 'the computer?'

Switzerland and Denmark is going to be fair tough.

Off topic but Nuno Gomes' watch is a cracker.
