Afternoon Mr T.

I am working on a big fun Yuletide bet for tomorrow but for tonight I am donning my oft worn nit cap.

Glasgow v Edinburgh has the makings of a low scorer, a local derby, cold weather and 2 teams of about equal ability. Can't really add any more to that.

Suggest £24 under 36.5 points @ 5/6 PP or Ladbrokes.

I am curious though as to how Brobdingnag elicited no response from anyone. I would think Mr Tal  would be au fait with 17th century English authors but am I to assume that the rest of you just thought I had mistyped England ?

Guilty as charged hector.

Don't forget, I had just awoken from my slumberage. I never considered for even a moment it was a typo - only three blondes are capable of that gravity of catastrophic typo, & you are not amongst them.

Feeling somewhat guilty, I just googled Brob-whatsit, & happily (or luckily one may say) - my original assumption that it was a Lilliputian character was confirmed. The theme had been "giants" & tinsy-winsy peeps, so it was a tap-in really.

I must confess, too, that whilst I have an eager interst in almost EVERYTHING - I even google & wiki details of the teams we bet on, & the places they come from - English Literature/Period writing/Classical Lit/old-fashioned bollox - holds not a jot of interest or fascination to me. It counts as "Art", see?

Not even heard of "Swift" either, unless we are talking about Frank Swift, the Manchester City keeper from back in the day. He perished in the Munich air disaster. Proper goalie him. On one occasion, he was 2nd choice, & got to play because the first choice chap contracted tubercolosis, or "TB" as it was mainly known. Not an illness we hear much about these days, at least, not in humans. Badgers & cattle, sadly yes.  

A speciasl Yuletide bet? How wonderful. Can't wait. We will certainly be on.

Here, by way of penance, are some old footie photos, mainly Frank Swift, an early boyhood hero of mine, which I know you will enjoy.

PS - England v Rest of Europe? Ooh, those were the days.

I suppose after all that waffle & drivel, I had better get the bet on now.

We have £24 @ 5/6 (Ladbrokes) UNDER 36.5 points, Glasgow v Edinburgh, this evening.

PS - Local derby? What?! One is on the right, & is posh, the other is on the left, & Vinny comes from there. Half of our Darts lads, too. Be afraid.

Could you imagine the reaction today if you referred to a player in the Great Britain team as being from Ireland?

Cliffs on A Modest Proposal: Swift pens a solution to the Irish potato famine: eat babies. He does it in such a way as almost to make it plausible. Rich in perspicacity, it is a satirical treasure.

Yes, a GB player from "Ireland" might cause a few ructions.

Is that true, the eating babies thing? I mean, true as "in the book"? How extraordinary. What a story that Potato Famine was, too, barely believable.

Ah well, guess we had beter get back on topic, & matters of great import, as in punting, & allotments.

It's not a book; only an essay of a couple of pages:

Sorry for derail - hector made me do it.

I don't think it would cause too much of a problem. Jackie Vernon was Northern Irish and so from (the island of) Ireland & he was from the United Kingdom as Northern Ireland is contained in that institution.
Politically, Northern Ireland is not a part of Great Britain so technically speaking he should have been on the Rest of Europe side with Republic of Ireland player Johnny Carey, or failing that, the Great Britain side should have been called The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (but that's a little wordy!).

Blimey, you remember some of those names?

You are MUCH older than I had assumed.

Well this is part of my point: GB doesn't include NI, let alone Eire.

British Isles would have done.

Well no, I'm not thaaaaaaaaaat old. Just a spritely 42.
But I have heard of both Johnny Carey and Jackie Vernon.
Carey is a famous Republic of Ireland player and both he and Vernon were of a select few to have represented both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland and  in Vernons case, Great Britain too.

Do you remember your Gary Anderson darts bet in the premier league?

Well he just threw 19 180s in 1 match, and hit the treble 20 174 times! Think he was making up for lost time!

FFS!

I don't think he threw that many in the entire PL season!
