My local MP has fallen at the fourth hurdle to become Prime Minister https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-48696619 Was trying to get votes by being a realist. The Brexit saga continues.

Looks like it will be Boris unless something unusual happens.

Kolckak , your not wrong , can`t wait for this game . should be a beauty . just watching Japan vs England , great so far and I`ve keeping an eye on Scotland vs Argentina . the Scottish girls have played so well , they`ve been unlucky so far . there looking good in there game . I`ve been following the Women`s World Cup for a long time , they have all improved so much . the USA have been the flag bearers all the way from the start . now we have any one of 10 countries that can win the World Cup .

Can’t count out France either. Especially over there.

France look strong Kolchak . took Dad for a walk this morning , went to dentist for a root canal and then went shopping . came back home and there was a love letter in the mail , so I went and paid it , came home to watch the full match between Scotland vs Argentina . what a shock , 3-3 . when I left the match it was 3-0 to Scotland . I had so many chores and things to do , I started before the game finished . I enjoyed the game .

That was a very entertaining match with a lot of action and near misses.

I know I say this every World Cup, but I hate when matches end in shootouts. Wish they would keep playing like NHL hockey playoffs.

Kolchak , my solution would be , play the normal 30 min , start extra time minus 2 players on each side , then every 10 minutes take another 2 players off each side . gaps would open left right and centre , I`m sure goals would come fast . tonight the 2nd State of Origin from Perth . got my chips ready and I`m going to open the bottle of Baileys Irish that my sister gave me for Xmas ,

nice .

Thought you were making it up until I googled it. Odd thing to have a "day" for. Just checked for today and apparently its national pink day, and national pecan sandies day - it does feel like someone is just inventing some of these and posting something about them online.

We have tons of stupid National days. You name it and it probably has a day her in the USA. They are mostly goofy and meaningless.

July 5th is national bikini day. But let’s keep that to ladies only please.
Hers a link for those of you that find this interesting.

Some of them are illogical as well - national onion day is 5 days after onion ring day - if it was the other way around, same onion would do for both!

Social media day - now its more like every minute of every day, so why have a "day" for it?

What came first the chicken or the egg? Its chicken day on 2nd June, and egg day on 3rd June!

I assume it’s pretty easy to get a National Day. Wonder if there is a national pinball day, or maybe even a national digital pinball day?

 

[Citizen]

We're too reprobate to get a day.

Syphilis and pinball destroy young minds.

So what you’re saying is that we should work on getting a national syphilis day first? Can’t argue with that.
