A big fat nope today… if I was German - but I’m not so a hearty Nine! (2,4,5,7,9,10,11,14,15).

Without giving away anything away. My wrongs

1) went for the guy he killed.
3) Did Skara Brae
6) wrong brand right drink
9) Austria
12/13) nowhere close to- as a history nerd I’m annoyed by 13.

A screen shot of the retro game Wings .

A cockpit shot from Wings

An end of mission screen from Wings.

Fancied some retro Amiga gaming so fired up Wings. Time to shoot down some of those damn Bosch.

Labour continuing to kowtow to the polling - rather than leading and driving the national conversation - with their new, horrific immigration policy. And we all know they’ll buckle and backtrack when a few back benchers revolt. Lacking leadership, backbone and anything resembling decency.

At least they’re on the ‘E’s’

It was more hope than expectation.

A definite 7. (1,2,3,7,9,11,13)

Need some adjudication on 2 answers…. For a possible 9….

12. Went for small British Islands
13. Got the directorial link but not the prize…

@beechside2.bsky.social Over to you kind sir… I know you’re a tough marker.

Ugh @toffeeweb.bsky.social has rejigged their website and is now approx 75% gambling ads.

I get they need to generate some cash but it’s overwhelming. And the partners are

What other Everton related sites are good to replace them in my daily reads?!

The Grave of Cecil Bather located at Enfidaville CWGC cemetary. A blue sky is shaded by Palm trees The grass behind and the stone is parched and dry and the grass in front has had sand placed on it to enabled reseeding.

He got pushed into an offside position to be fair to the lad.

Lucic subbed off after he should have been sent off. All down to the consistency of refereeing. Has massive impact on results when decisions like that are made.

Fully deserved that lead. Have been pretty much dominant all half and also countering some very random referring.

Everton have started well here. Moving the ball well, lots of movement. And getting some half chances for Barry.

An 8 (1,3,4,6,7,9,12,13) more decent than the lovechild of Michael Palin/David Attenborough.

Went for Fathers Regal numbers for 10. Fencing for 2 and items on flags for 14.

And had listened to a @gregjenner.bsky.social ‘You’re dead to me’ podcast on 15 so off for a relisten to reprogramme it in.

An old black cat and a young calico cat are both sittting on the same hideous duvet - the calico is reaching her paw out playfully to the older cat.

This pic is 9 months in the making between Dixie and Bramley. Never going to be bonded but a welcome bit of detente nonetheless.

I don’t say they were a good right back or left back…

This. Possibly pays for a Left back and a right back. Which fixes a lot of our ills.

Skillman doing the skills.

Ah bugger. I’m so sorry. You going to get some more?!

10 months yesterday for Hobbes. And same. Still find myself looking for him.

Exceedingly good takes.

A stolid 8 this week. (1,4,5,6,9,11,12,15).

Stolid is a word that needs using more.

Get some decals and recreate this..

Bill Watterson nailed it with this strip.

Another game where we’ve been competitive but utterly ineffectual. We’ll be fine this season but we’re far too predictable, lack movement, and an outlet for any chances we do create.

Beto actually seems to be getting worse.

Good thread this to save for the next ‘bloke down the pub’ or indeed ‘elected representative’. Worth noting that ads often have more than 1 ‘leading character’ so percentages need heavily reducing for total share. There is a skew - casts for ads aren’t huge - but it’s nowhere near the noise

Evertonians everywhere seeing the Brentford score… don’t jinx it….

Decent enough 7 today - after a worse start than the BEF in 1940. (6,8,9,10,11,12,14)

Was a magician last night. Still a highlight after acrobats, pirate show and Disney night. 😂 Missus loves it. I just leave her in the bar and bugger off.
