Ah well supported, Layinghen, great game

Best of luck in the next round, hope you are OK.

Layinghen

Not a great match but wow the last few minutes was brilliant.

Hard luck Martinn but could I recommend a nice Chasselas Grand Cru Calamin (lovely Swiss White wine, virtually impossible to find outside the country) to settle the nerves.

Would love to be cracking open a nice Malbec but think I will just request an extra little something from the drugs trolley to celebrate

Red Hare

That was another great game! Pity that someone had to loose Martin. Congrats to the Hen!

Rubecula

I think I was watching another match The Swiss against the Argies was the worst game of the knockout stages so far. Truly awful.

That baldy American bloke on the RTE panel, is much more articulate, and makes more sense than the Baldy Irish bloke.

That wouldn't be too difficult for him

looksee

Do you think there is sticky tape involved with those little shirts? Do you think there is any chance they might actually be running around?

Layinghen

Even I know that was a great match.


See you in the next round Rubes.

Great News,

OK so everyone else is on their game, and Match fit, for the 1/4 rs, I have decided in the absence of further supporters, ( especially the missing Mod ),
to make the following Executive Decision.

I will apply for a ''Buy-In'' and support Columbia v Muffler's Brazil

Can I request, Mr Hare, to step up again, and support, Costa Rica.

As it's not a match against Red Hare's Germany, I hope this will not cause a matrimonial conflagration.

If they both Win, and meet eventually in the Final, the entry fees for this competition, will be donated to a conflict resolution society.

Best of luck everyone.

Germany! Now there's a proper bunch of lads. Proper language, proper beer and they know how to use soap. Is it too late for me to adopt Germany instead?

Anyway, aren't the Air Traffic Controllers in Frawce having their annual strike and, if they lose, the rest of the country will go on strike? If Frawce do lose, how will they get home? Dozens of unwashed Frawsez, in culottes, roaming the planet, pockets bulging with hair products and snails.

Oh, I've just remembered. All is not lost. I restart chemo on Friday. Now, THAT will be more entertaining than watching a bunch of strangled vowel sounds sulking about not being allowed to use their hands.

Many thanks for these good wishes - probably on the wrong thread but much appreciated. And any reminders of Spike Milligan or Kenneth Williams are always welcome. Have you read Milligan's "Adolf Hitler - My Part In His Downfall"? The only book that ever caused me pain from laughing!

Chemo-plumbing was done today - I got a shave and a free fake tan on one side of my chest. These, combined with the evidence of two major surgeries on my torso and a delightful chemo-rash, I just don't understand how the wimmin keep their hands off me! Maybe if I wore that special hospital gown the right way around?

The new chemo recipe is similar to what I had a year ago but not the recipe that almost killed me at Christmas. So, at least, I know what to expect and, since I returned to the oul sod for good, I have a support network this time. Had to come home because more and more of me was being buried overseas! I don't mind pushing up daisies.....so long as they're Irish daisies.

Back on topic, I was shown the chemo-suite today. Tomorrow's guests are all male......and there's a telly.......and all of the seats are aimed at it.......and you tell me that "my" team (bluddy Frawse) are playing tomorrow. Ohhhh......................Gaaawwwwwwwdddddd!

Because, as a kid, I couldn't kick snow off a rope, I played rugby instead. (The supporters were all female!) During post-match ablutions, certain, slightly risque operatic arias were performed, one of which remains in my memory and which I plan to repeat tomorrow in order to encourage the Deutscher team. To a very simple melody, the lyrics go:

Raa Raa Ree
Kick 'em in the knee
Raa Raa Rowlocks
Kick 'em in the other knee

(Sailors pronounce it "rollocks". French pronounce it "throat-clear yryryruhh")

Rubecula

Remember it? LOL I still sing it

Red Hare

I'm really looking forward to the match. Got a nice bottle of Marlborough chillin'
for a five o clock kick off! Hope Brens is doing ok.

Viva la Germany!
