Hopefully that’s the end of Threads.

Test.

I think I shall be deleting my Threads account. Or at least deactivating it. It’s becoming as toxic as Twitter but with an added level of weird. And not good weird, either.

Is Donald Trump going to come out and steal the trophy?

GOOOOOAAAALLLL!!!!

Spain are playing the second half pretty much like the first. England need to try and get a prolonged period of possession.

Well. That’s one less trump-supporting fascist.

A little darker,
A little quieter,
A little more chill.
More still, more space.
An echo of a whisper.
And yet, the light still shines,
And out there if you can see -
And if you can hear-
A little lighter, a little louder.
The adventure continues.

Another friend gone too soon.

Grab love tightly; hold it in you palm ; in your pocket, around your neck. Take it with you everywhere and do not ever, ever, forget to talk.
Quietly.
Everyone needs to listen even if, for now out of sight, and earshot. Still there, still listening. Still with you.

So just how many bags does anyone need to carry around? #Elsbeth

I forgot the game was on today. I've just had to make do with 15 minutes of highlights...

The vicissitudes of language lead me to doubt that the German defender Janina Minge, will ever play in the English WSL…

What IS it about the penalties in this tournament?

German defender’s complete idiocy in this age of VAR.

And another dismal (if successful) penalty. What’s in the Swiss water?

ANOTHER FINE PENALTY!

Just joshing. It was crap.

After last night’s penalty shootout you would be forgiven for assuming that commentators would refrain from commenting in a player’s penalty-taking ability.

But no. And the ‘highly dependable’ Spanish player just muffed hers big time.

That penalty shootout aged me by at least 20 years.

I get worried every time the commentators waffled on about the Lionesses being good at penalties.

And look what’s happening.

If I didn’t know she is a Swedish footballer, I’d have assumed Stina Blackstenius was a Star Wars character.

Christ on a bike. They’ve pulled it back with 2 goals in 3 minutes.

I take some credit for suggesting Sweden’s defence was impregnable.

Lionesses playing better in the second half, but Sweden are immovable. Not breaching Fästning Sverige tonight, I think.

AI Is bollocks. I asked it: "Create a scale map of London with the Berlin Wall overlaid on top at the same scale. Centre the Brandenburg Gate on Charing Cross."

I tried several apps and not one managed.

I’m at home, while my beloved wifey is bopping around in the Coral Sea, looking at the Barrier Reef and avoiding sharks…

Phrase of the day -

"To quote Kant, 'The dildo of consequence rarely arrives lubed'"

Goal for #Wales! The comeback is on! *

#Englad 5-0 #Wales


*if there is a miracle in the offing…

The railways love to bombard you with information you don’t need; something useful like fact Arriva Wales trains are not starting from Birmingham International today is not part of the information barrage.

This it is that I needlessly alighted the New Street train and found out after it had left.

Moff t'bed.

To all my friends across The Pond in the Reich.

Happy Democracy Memorial Day, this 4th July.

Today, 2 July, we are exactly half way through the year. This means that from now on, we are closer to the year 2050 than we are the year 2000.

I’m just going to go and crumble to dust, now.
