I'm still sitting here smugly with Brazil , but there are differing rumours about the health of St. Pele back in Brazil . It calls to mind the death of Kublai Khan in the 13th Century , where the Mongol hordes were on the point of defeating the finest of European knights , hearing the news , just turned around and went home to elect a new leader .

On the other hand , they may just try a little harder ? :D

Ah, I remember it well. We were just having a brew and doing a bit of helm polishing before being slaughtered, as you do, and they waved, shouted 'Toodle-pip chaps, Kubby's popped his clogs. Same time next year?' and rode off. :shock:

Nice bunch of lads really.

Well, Who's the muppet in the house :wave: :roll: :wave: :wave: :roll:

Sat at work this morning, boss gets a call needing a transfer this evening (well, leaving here late afternoon) and is stressing as its a decent transfer, but hasn't got a driver with enough hours to do the job.

So, being kind and helpful I go "I can do that if it helps" - bit of a conversation as I started early this morning but that meant I finished early this afternoon so could chill a bit before setting out.

So we priced it high, they said yes :roll: THEN -

yup, I'm missing the band I want to see and the football :roll: FFS! :lol: :lol: :lol:


Now the customer has messaged to say the flight is delayed again, so it's gonna be a serious late one tonight :roll:


Must remember not to volunteer, wait to be asked!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
