SCOTLAND WON A MATCH

Well now: a week after Ukraine booted them out of the World Cup, Scotland won a match and scored two goals. That man Ralston looks like a decent player too. If Scotland had a decent striker they might rise to become an adequate team. Watch this... See More »

Wales and Ukraine

Wales defeated Ukraine and heading for the World Cup finals. They play as a team and can score goals - well done Wales, but I think they'll be too good for England.

THANK YOU, PEOPLE

Thank you, people, for responding to my previous post on guns and gun deaths in the USA. It seemed to stir up many people. Some gave sensible replies, others referred back to events of hundreds of years ago, or long-gone wars, or tried to divert to... See More »

I'm no monarchist, but a proud republican, but well done, Liz for keeping the same job for seventy years. Elizabeth I of Great Britain and II of England - 70 years Queen Victoria of Great Britain lasted 64 years. King George III of Great Britain... See More »

The England Football Team

Great start to the tournament - defeated by a team many places below us in the world ranking and a very lucky draw with Germany. As usual, the England football team are over hyped, with a plethora of vastly overpaid mediocre players. Maybe, if club... See More »

Being an old bat, I can say with complete sincerity that the current bunch of rubbish that is the British cabinet is the worst collection of nothings we have had in my lifetime. We have suffered from shocking prime ministers in the past - Thatcher... See More »

Loch Ness and other Scottish Lochs

I was reading a book about Strange Scotland the other night- yes, I can read - and I learned a bit about Nessie. Apparently the loch was renowned for strange things long before the 1930s surge of interest. St Columba mey some beast back in the 6th... See More »

WELL DONE WALES

Well done to Wales! Great to see a nation more famed for its rugby qualifying for the World Cup. They will prove to be a difficult opponent - and I'll support them against everybody except England!

England and Hungary

Well, that's the English football team put in its place. Over hyped and over paid. We're not nearly as good as we think we are!

Life and death and guns

I see there is another gun massacre in the USA. Big hugs to the victims and their families. Please, USA, ban the gun. Your gun culture is costing far too many innocent lives.

England is full of legends

I have lived in many parts of England - and elsewhere - and every corner has local myths and legends. I love the old stories of smugglers and highwaymen, dragons and ghosts, black hounds and haunted pubs. My late husband loved to tour the local pubs... See More »

The Scotland football team

Well, that's them out of the World Cup. They were fortunate to get as far as they did; at best they are adequate. I remember when Scotland produced world class footballers and played with spirit and fire. Now they are lacklustre. It's a pity. I'd... See More »

School memories

I think that school memories tend to remain with one while later memories fade. It is such an intense time, growing up with restrictions and among strangers, that the experiences are imprinted on the memory.
