Speak for yourself DET LOL. Those damn things drive us crazy too. Surely the players can't concentrate with all that row. In my opinion they should be banned from the ground completely. I remeber years ago someone behind me in the stands with an air horn. I'll let you guess what I told him to do with it LOL

A minority LG, a minority!

DET - not interested
Aunty - Doesn't like FIFA soccer
YG - not interested
Maz - no comment but grumbles when A hogs the TV and PC when a match is on.
RMS - no comment
Pauline - not available
LG - likes it

So.......... 3 not really interested. 1 probably not. 2 no comments and 1 follower (+EoS)

But each to her own. And at least those who do, aren't obsessed. :)

Hi everyone I have really great news.

The Australian media seems to think that Germany was our biggest hurdle. They have been very quick to inform us that we should be able to lick Serbia and the other team we have to play (Ghana or something) with one hand tied behind our backs. Our soccer players hands, that it. As soccer seems to be a game with no use for hands I reckon they should tie both behind their backs.

Only time will tell but the biggest news item is not about the soccer it is about the trumpet accompaniments.

I also think the average Australian is quite ready to purchase one of these musical instruments for the sole purpose of blowing raspberries at the media.

I have sent the CPs to South Africa to tutor the Aussie team in play acting. OK it's a bit unfair but I figured we need the help more than the English team does. They are already very skilled at that process!!!!!!!!!!!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~


Aunty runs away, as quickly as her aching body will allow!!

Glad you've got some sun! I had a quick potter in the garden earlier, and it is deffinately on the parky side, considering I was already wearing a T Shirt and cardigan. If I was intending to stay out any longer, another layer would have been needed!

Has the decorating caught up with your muscles then Aunty? Perhaps that should read the muscles have caught up with the decorating - lol

Yawwwwnnnnn. Is it the afternoon already? lol.

Been busy earning a crust (no, not the left over ones from the Teddy Bears picnic). And there is work work to be done all day tomorrow, and Friday afternoon, until at least 1630. Yuk.

Voucher frames aren't toooo bad Maz, if you do need glasses. You may want to consider asking for the lenses to be put in an older pair of frames you may have, if it works out cheaper. Pair of glasses, but is it a pair of frames as well? Hmmm.

Tis warm out of the breeze, but with a north easterly wind, a bit nippy in it! The washing should be dry, which is a good thing. Glad you made a bit of a saving on the specs.

Thought you must have got home earlier than normal. Sounds as if it was a case of too many chiefs with the ordering!

Hello

Hope you are keeping okay.

The sunset is late tonight. They have been really good.

Just watching the World Cup match between South Africa and Uruguay.

An awful lot of football on the TV!

Take gentle care
Very best wishes

Morning all. Just received an email from an historical society over on the east coast. I ask them some questions about OHs great grandparents and they have information to send to me. Whoo hoo another step forward.

Still waiting to hear from GRO and my Mr Hill.

By the way if you have people who served in the Australian Defence Forces during WW1, ie the AIF, try googling AIF project and then search by name. The information is amazing. They look at the service records and then make that info into a presentation about the person. I have found two of my rellies and requested a third be included and he has been. Think I might put that info on the Tips Board in case someone is interested.

Very cold here this morning and we have a few days of rain forecast. OH is going back to daughter's place today to continue with the painting. I think I'm rostered on for Sunday.

We are going to a cocktail party on Saturday night. Frock up, high heels and probably stand around for a couple of hours making small talk. I do hope they remember the chairs for the old folks.
