I'm not much of a footie follower. But years ago we were visiting my partner's bro who is. And as I lazed on the sofa with various members of her family otherwise engaged my eyes fell on their tele to see Michael Owen dribble the ball from one end of the field to the other and score. I don't know who was playing who, but I was impressed. He went through the defense like a knife through butter.

I really do wish politicians would stop pretending they do football.
It's painful.
Starmer's always done football, so he's not pretending. Plays every week still, been a season ticket holder at Arsenal for years. Unless you're talking about Boris, not Starmer?

Hmm. Looking at sequences, the last few games have seen England score 0, 1, 2, 4. Logically, therefore, we’ll score 8 against Denmark. And 16 in the final.
0,1,2,4,... are Fibonacci sums. 7 against Denmark, 12 in the final. I just hope my English family and friends in Dundee don't have their windows put in.

Yes agreed - he looks totally genuine there. He’s a bit of a pompous dick at times but I’ve no doubt he genuinely likes football and genuinely loves an England win. Who doesn’t?!

If they want to keep enhanced infection controls in medical settings then so be it, and the sick should be encouraged to stay at home. The rest of the rules need chucking on the bonfire.

Not like Boris. He appointed Southgate. He picked the squad, decided the tactics, and personally calls the substitutions. No doubt.

Both Boris and Starmer (and for that matter Priti and Truss and others) have posted cringeworthy "footy" posts. Starmer's efforts include; "Labour's coming home." Del Boy phoning Southgate. Saying staff should go home early etc.

At least. It could presumably have anywhere between 51% and 99% open (I assume there are some poles holding it up). Local authorities have tended to define "outside" in the same way as smoking areas, which have to be over 50% open.

Boris "I don't do gestures" Johnson, standing on a massive flag
Did he really say that? That's brazen.
It was shortly after sacking Hancock...
I suppose 'I don't do gestures' is one of those rare outright lies that are deemed acceptable in politics? Like 'I wish my opponent all the best', 'I have answered that question' or 'The voters are always right'.

Starmer's always done football, so he's not pretending. Plays every week still, been a season ticket holder at Arsenal for years. Unless you're talking about Boris, not Starmer?
Yes agreed - he looks totally genuine there. He’s a bit of a pompous dick at times but I’ve no doubt he genuinely likes football and genuinely loves an England win. Who doesn’t?!

One imagines that there are a lot of other people in their position: the rules are a total pain in the arse but (a) they're fed up of waiting and (b) if they postpone again they're running into a flipping great wall of backed-up weddings, that probably means they'd have to wait anything up to eighteen months or two years for the next available rebooking date. Not fun.

If they want to keep enhanced infection controls in medical settings then so be it, and the sick should be encouraged to stay at home. The rest of the rules need chucking on the bonfire.
And my sons wedding reception is in a marquee that has to have 51% of the sides open- and yes 51% is not a typo
Fascinating. Assuming that the enclosure is either square or rectangular in footprint, will the Covid Police be along to ensure that the requisite length of the third side has been rolled back to pass the 51% threshold?
It is not worth the possibility of a £10,000 fine to newly weds
Indeed the risk assessments and regulations they are required to comply with are mind boggling
I dunno why people are bothering to get married at the mo. I'd simply do the vows bit then hold a party in a year or two.
They arranged their wedding for August last year before covid and had to postpone it to this July and to be fair we have the OK for the Church service with 40 attending, socially distanced and with masks, and 70 in the marquee but part open sided and socially distanced tables
One imagines that there are a lot of other people in their position: the rules are a total pain in the arse but (a) they're fed up of waiting and (b) if they postpone again they're running into a flipping great wall of backed-up weddings, that probably means they'd have to wait anything up to eighteen months or two years for the next available rebooking date. Not fun.
Actually most of this years wedding will be ones brought forward from postponements from last year
Our next door neighbour's daughter was married on Anglesey today having postponed their wedding last summer to today
Boris "I don't do gestures" Johnson, standing on a massive flag
Did he really say that? That's brazen.
It was shortly after sacking Hancock...
I suppose 'I don't do gestures' is one of those rare outright lies that are deemed acceptable in politics? Like 'I wish my opponent all the best', 'I have answered that question' or 'The voters are always right'.
The woman seated on the right is Scottish isn't she..
Hang on.
1. Are they all seated in socially-distanced groups of no more than six persons or two households? 2. Why are the ones who have got up from their tables not wearing their masks?
Tsk tsk...
My son called tonight and explained the strict rules they have to apply at their wedding in four weeks
That photo would see them face a £10,000 fine
What was that about one rule for them another for us
The law is an ass and everyone knows it.

Well exactly. Last year's weddings this year and this year's weddings next.

Hopefully as it’s past the 19th those rules will no longer apply.

At least. It could presumably have anywhere between 51% and 99% open (I assume there are some poles holding it up). Local authorities have tended to define "outside" in the same way as smoking areas, which have to be over 50% open.
It just seems so petty
No it's just to ensure those 70 people are well ventilated. They have to draw the line somewhere. Hope the prevailing rain is only coming from one direction ;-)
I really do wish politicians would stop pretending they do football.
It's painful.
Starmer's always done football, so he's not pretending. Plays every week still, been a season ticket holder at Arsenal for years. Unless you're talking about Boris, not Starmer?
Yes agreed - he looks totally genuine there. He’s a bit of a pompous dick at times but I’ve no doubt he genuinely likes football and genuinely loves an England win. Who doesn’t?!
At a guess, population of the world minus population of England (plus Nick Palmer).

I drove home from cricket listening to the 5 live commentray on Denmark vs the Czech Republic from two women, so I don’t think it is the Issue she thinks it is...
What an opportunity for Gareth Southgate to change how his name is associated with European Championships semi finals.
Scene, the sem-final. Southgate:"Alright lads, get out there, and remember why you're doing this." Kane:"For each other, boss?" Sterling:"For the nation, gaffer?" Sancho:"For the love of the game, sir?" Southgate:"What? No! To redeem my name, you idiots. Do not f*ck me on this!"

No doubt.
1 England 2.68 37.3%
2 Italy 3.4 29.4%
3 Spain 4 25.0%
4 Denmark 11 9.1%
Please. Make it stop.
Long way to go.
We need to learn our lessons from 2018 semi-final. IF we go ahead early we need to push on for the second to make it easier.
Looking good!
Boris did a obviously staged rewind of the England goal against Germany the other day, which he then "celebrated".
Obviously.

I don't like transparent pandering, still less terrible attempts to ingratiate with the electorate.

Difficult to think of one.
That is about 7.64 billion people.
Southgate:"Alright lads, get out there, and remember why you're doing this."
Kane:"For each other, boss?"

I have always thought "buy British" campaigns a sign of lack of confidence.
Problems with the Union ... set up a committee chaired by Gordon Brown.
Problems with the economy ... buy British.
It all looks like a leftover fricassee recipe.
