Clifton Adams . . . is that a western in Fontana? 🤔

I know -- another Substack? If you're so inclined, here is my first post: open.substack.com/pub/billjano...

An extra special pub day because we also have two new Len Deighton spy thrillers out, HORSE UNDER WATER and TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE SPY!👀

I haven’t read that one. Looks like a proper behind-the-Iron-Curtain frightener.

Also needs a comma after ‘them)’.

It sounds like BB needed some editorial guidance on this one.

That was a nasty one. I nearly broke my streak at 161 – I had two options for my sixth guess and picked the right one.

Lyall is terrific. I discovered him this year; can’t figure out why I’d never heard of him. Seven early thrillers and four Harry Maxim novels, all highly recommended by me.

Oh me too. Two more years of his guidance and we’d be going for the world cup.

Our first challenge always is to be competitive – and we were. Enough for now.

We can’t win tests without better, longer kicking. No point trying.

After next week’s test in Perth, there is no higher priority for the #Wallabies and Australian rugby than rounding up every pro contracted player who wears 9 to 15 and putting them through a two-week punt kicking clinic. #nzlvaus #bledisloecup #itsnotthathard #itscalledfootballyaknow

I wanted to not mention Piardi (or Jonker) this afternoon but those successive penalties against Wilson (maul) and Hooper (jackle) were just the ref’s gifts to NZ. Three points for free. This stuff leaves the Wallabies unable to risk competing for the ball. #nzlvaus #bledisloecup

Len also made the charge off the lineout maul and carried the ball right to the line before Pollard’s try. He’s a marvel. #NZLvAUS #BledisloeCup

Who slips a better pass than Len Ikitau? Nobody. Try after try comes from his beautiful short pass to the left. #NZLvAUS #BledisloeCup

Terrible first 20 min, nothing went right but they’re fighting.

Now we’ve lost our scrum-half. . #nzlvaus #bledisloecup

We can’t win test matches if we can’t find touch on penalty punts. #nzlvaus #bledisloecup

I’m geared up for Wallabies vs NZ. Anything could happen. #nzlvaus #bledisloecup
