Good morning squeezage,keep going old boy.

Has there been much chatter about the World Cup in the Cardrooms?

Almost zero.

It's hard to get revved up with so many games, spread over such a huge distance, with ridic ticket prices. Fans can't even take a bottle of water or pack of crisps into the Stadia, they have to buy them inside. And sandwiches can cost a bunch in the USA as I learned last night.

Credit to FIFA, nobody thought they could get a more corrupt President than Blatter, then along comes Infantino.

Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.


It is shocking that drinks are not allowed to be bought into Stadia.
Agree that there are too many teams,it.s become farcical.

Not for me, boo.

Do you enjoy cooking?

PS - I originally confused salt beef with corned beef, & subsequently edited my post.

Salt beef is called corned beef in the US to add to the confusion.

Boo, you probably had your salt beef sandwiches in Soho at the Nosh Bar on Great Windmill street opposite the famous burlesque theatre.

It is possible Ralph,there were 3 or 4 such establishments in that area.

Not for me, boo.

Apology accepted.

I mistakenly put boiled when i meant simmered

I dont mind cooking,it is something i have had to do for my folks as a neccessity these past years so i just sort of get on with it.

[with vegetables like cabbage,]

Ralph (karabiner) mentioned the MGM salt beef sarnies too, but I've never had the pleasure, don't even know what it is, so I asked google....


Corned beef is salt-cured beef brisket, traditionally made with large-grained salt ("corns") and spices, giving it a distinct flavor and pink color. It's often cooked low and slow with vegetables like cabbage, potatoes, and carrots


Cabbage & carrots? You gotta be kidding me.

When i was a young lad we occasionally travelled to London as a family to visit the tourist attractions.
If we were in the vicinity of Soho we would purchase Salt Beef sandwiches-two doorstops of freshly baked bread,a generous layer of mustard and a filling of melt in the mouth Salt Beef.Delicious.

Nowadays i regularly make my own,good Silverside of Beef put into a large tub with a solution of spices,Brine and Saltpetre and left for two weeks.
When ready it is boiled and then then served with mashed potatoes and pickles.
It remains a family favourite to this day.

It's the WhatsApp age, everything has changed. A close friend of mine just wrote his autobiography (just for friends & family), & I've been mulling the idea of doing the same. I really have had THE most amazing life one way & another with some extraordinary twists & turns, & a whole bunch of "right time, right place".

Please do.

Meh

Nice report,run well on Sunday Gramps

Thanks David.

Two questions for you....

1) Slot. Agree or disagree with his dismissal?

2) How happy on a scale of 1 to 10 (assume 10 is World Class, someone of Arteta's standard) are you with your new Manager?

1. Agree, our play was so poor something had to change.
2.Probably 8 .Theres a lot to like about the guy. We can only dream about having a manager so talented and charismatic as Arteta.

Thank you
