Retired ex-pat Brit living in NZ for over 20 years. Post jokes, cartoons & anything else amusing. Interests include American Football ( #NFL & #CollegeFootball / #CFB ), #Tennis, #Rugby & The #Beatles. Have watched every episode of #Moonlighting.
I've lived in NZ for over 2 decades now.
My post derives from the days of going to training courses in Edinburgh when I was a graduate and trying to spend the Scottish notes in London when I got back.
People looked at them like they were Monopoly notes.

It's late here so thought I'd attempt some Italian to English translation (even though the closest language I've studied is Spanish)
You're saying something around the lines of "What? I know we've beaten England at Rugby but now the Americans at Baseball?"
You did!
Congratulations!
Agreed.
I know war has moved on from when I was a kid, e.g. Vietnam, where you needed actual people to be dropped into the country which you were fighting.
After watching Gaza, it's now just remotely blowing up stuff now, yes? Like the Israelis did in Gaza until there's nothing left.
Progress, eh.
I have tailed you on Bencic. Fingers crossed.
perfect
And again, FORZAAAAAAAAA

Linda Noskova defeats Alexandra Eala in straight sets.
I have a vague recollection that about a month ago Noskova was one of the walking wounded (e.g. losing to Gracheva in Doha).
It appears she's fully recovered.

Linda Noskova takes the 1st Set against Alexandra Eala.
Commentator: "Just brilliant front foot Tennis from Noskova!"
Where's the latest trend of wearing outfits the same colour as the ball come from? [I'm also thinking Rybakina last night - it seems to be working 😜]
Let's talk polio
I can't remember how many years ago but it absolutely pissed it down one year.
Every time she tried to make a kill shot Amanda couldn't keep the ball on the court.

Alexandra Eala and Linda Noskova are about to get underway ...
Many, many years ago I worked in a European Head Office in London consolidating sales numbers.
The budget we had in August for Italy was alway zero because they all disappeared on holiday for the month.
That said, July was massive to allow this to happen.
I am back in the good books with him.

Not for 15 minutes. I have time to feed the cat ...
Oh Trump's sending the nukes now

Another example of the Mboko wheels for anyone who missed this ...
🎾 #Tennis #IndianWells
Victoria Mboko breezes past Amanda Anisimova to win in straight sets in 1h13m.
🎾 #Tennis #IndianWells
Wow, Mboko has wheels!
This reminds me a little of a point she won against Osaka in Montreal last year which I still have somewhere.

Woah! The USA is getting whomped in the WBC by Italy. 👀

Victoria Mboko takes the 1st Set from Amanda Anisimova.
I like the idea of them all wearing incontinence pants just to please the boss.
Surprised they don't all have the matching red ties already.
#USPol #Trump 😆
This is the funniest thing. They are so scared of what he might do to them for any petty reason...
🎾 #Tennis #Austin
Kiwi Lulu Sun defeats the #1 Seed Emma Navarro in straight sets - just in time for Mboko vs Anisimova.
Yay!
