    Absolutely! Wait for a very contentious decision to put the Yanks through....
    Pizza followed by berries and kefir, natural of course.

    Bloody hell, that's a long shift!

    Are you on holiday now?

    Having a 3rd coffee. Last night's excitement is now taking its toll.

    Agree about Norway. They are extremely well-organised and that ball over the top to Haaland is going to be a challenge. I expect them to let us have the ball.

    Be interesting to see if they persist with Musa on the left. That lad that came on for him was an absolute handful. Whoever is at right-back will have to be very disciplined against.

    Last night's performance was outstanding. Let's hope we can build on it on Saturday.

    no, off next wk, come off standby 8am Friday can’t wait tbh. Just waiting for mrs to get home then i’ve to head out to check one of my plants, all the stuff happening last night an engineer is over from inverness looking at one issue with a colleague just now. Hopefully they can sort it. One of my plants is struggling along thought is something may be obscuring the screen at the intake shifted by the floods as pressure low on supply line from the river. Need it to stop raining if we are to get anywhere near looking at it.

    Not sure. They put mayo on chips. They have statues of young boys peeing. They have more than one official language.

    Oh hang on. They're playing USA.

    Yep.

    Time for a HB anecdote...

    Went to Antwerp with Mrs H many years to a modern art museum. Outside the museum was a large plastic ketchup bottle, maybe 20 ft tall.

    Inside the museum was a pirate ship, with large TVs showing people with dwarfism engaging in lewd acts and covering each other with ketchup on said pirate ship. Very unsettling.

    Still supporting the Belgians because of their beer and chocolates and often dark cinema.

    Prefer Bruges to Antwerp but will drink the beer in any of their cities!

    Difficult one.

    I don't like Ronaldo, although I respect his achievements.

    Both are lovely countries to visit.

    On balance, Portugal for me.
