Whereas i agree with you, it appears we are out of step with society. Now society, by financially supporting football clubs - paying to attend matches or subscribe to tv channels - are condoning \'cheat if you can get away with it\' attitude. Not at all the standard that i was brought up to favour.
Is it any wonder that there is so much crime today? Those who are caught and put before a judge are given joke sentences.
Back on the football field, I would send the buggers off as soon as they committed a single foul, yes until there were only five or six players left on the field.... a learning curve might begin in those circumstances.

Love it every word! Sports & games should be that! But sadly those that support see it as their life, a religion even a family!
I got many beatings over football as a young man so I\'m with you my friend! Times have been slowly getting crazier for every from what I can see lol

Sometimes I wonder: What is the point of sport? Or some sports anyway.
Well, exercise and enjoyment of supporting Clubs, etc. But it wouldn\'t matter a fig, if there was no sport at all. Wouldn\'t change anything one way or the other.
I mean - boxing is insane - two people hitting each other, but being paid for it. Doh!

BRIAN HERE ~ HOME ALONE ! Thnaks for sharing UNCLE ANDY ~ At this sad time *The Smile of a Friend* has infinite value ! We are having Bible Studies & PMs on ZOOM and the great thing is you see every one full face and in our group they*re all SMILING as we share & pray. This lockdown would be much worse if it wasnt for the MEDIA. Because Im 36 & without any underlying illness I can get out and get suplies for the 70+ etc. The College is closed except for maintenance. We have closed the Animal House and disposed of the rodents humanely. With some of the Tecnicians I am maintaining the allotments and greenhouses and distributing the produce. We have Board meeings etc using Conferencing Media. We do not expect to be open until September. Angela is on an 8am - 5pm shift in the Clinic & on the Orthopedic Ward to release other Nurses for ICU. It is a stressful time for all NHS Staff. I love cooking so I have something ready for Dinner (Lamb Casserole & Apple Pie tonight). We are so fortunate to be together ~ Married & in Chez Nous ! Please check *Applaud for the NHS* ~ thanks. Love BRYN TERVIL a singer of great depth & resonance ~ Welsh of course !
Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Brian & Angela 💛💛💛💛💛

Good Morning Uncle Andy ~ Love Cavalleria Rusticana ~ just enjoying it *Home Alone* with my Morning Coffee. I am old enough (36) to remember the final decads of the 20th C. We had a *hopscotch* painted in the Primary School Playground and we all played *Ollies* with glass marbles (prized parrots etc) and *Jinx* with bottle tops etc etc. Technology has a lot to answer for. Angela & I love JIGSAWS but kids groan now if you give them one for a Present. At our Conference Centre @ Sizewell Hall in Suffolk we always have a 1000 piece *Jiggy* on the go and as many as 20 poeple often join in (spasmodically) in a W/E Retreat. TV & radio is verboten ! My initial task on the Jiggy is to complete all the edges and leave the middle for the Hoi-Poloi ! Thanks for sharing a *memory lane* ! Please check *The Solar System*
Thanks BRIAN 🧡🤍💙

Yes - us two (and others) remember it well. We recall games from 11th Century too (1066). I was only playing darts when I said to Harold \'Look up, Sire\'.

Yes, so much more fun than playstation/nintendo and any kid passing by could join in. Boys would stop by and enjoy the sight of girls with their skirts tucked into their knickers playing hopscotch.
Did u play \'snobs\' too? That\'s the game where you have five cubes which you toss up into the air a foot or so and catch them on the back of your hand with fingers splayed... that was fun, though not so energetic as hopscotch. I wonder how those two got their names?

BRIAN HERE ~ Thnaks for sharing the Liverpool FC\'s Awesome Anthem *You*ll Never Walk Alone* from Carousel. Best sung on the COP when the Reds are Winning ~ Awesome. My Dad tells me ~ when Billy Graham was in the Anfield Stadium in 1984 ~ He was in the choir (I was 9 months old). The Choir (1000 strong) asked Cliff Barrows if they could sing *You*ll Never Walk Alone* ! Cliff agreed and they changed the last line to *Walk on Walk on ~ with Christ in Your Heart ~ and You*ll Never Walk Alone* What Cliff & Billy & George hadn*t bagained for was the 40,000 in the Audience had all brought their Scarves (Liverpool - Everton - Tranmere - Chester etc) and they all joined in ~ AMEN ! Its reported that the COP needed a new ROOF !
Love the poem ~ Nature (GHIA) will fight back if man threatens to Destroy Planet Earth. Because HOMO TECHNOLOGUS has opted out of NATURE Food Cycles & Webs he has no natural Predetors and the popultion has quadrupled in the last 100 years (1920 = 1.8 billion ~ 2020 = 7.8 billion) so we live in overcrowded Megacities which require HITECH to survive and have almost doubled the Atmospheric CO2. This has caused Global Warming and is gradually destroying Planet Earth. So Nature has fought back in a very simple way ! A new & invisible VIRUS (CORVID 19) which will kill 1% of those infected ~ mainly those over 60 with other maladies. Before a VACCINE can be fornd & made available millions ~ will die. Meanwhile HOMO TECHNOLOGUS has ground to a halt and we are caccooned in our BRICK CELLS until 2021 & beyond. Angela (An NHS Worker !) & I (Housebound) expect to survive (because we are > 40) but we must be prepared to face *The Brave New World* and go back to Nature I do have an allotment @ the College and we now own a House with a Garden and Bicycles to face *APOCALYPSE NOW* Its the only time I wish I was 50 years older (86) ~ AMEN !
Blessings & Peace to You & Yours

Such an inportant message youve conveyed today in plain words.
We didn\'t learn from a war to end all wars. We are a violent and selfish life form, but that is not unusual on this planet if we look at the animals.
Maybe we are deserving of extinction. Is our time passed and gone like the dinosaur.
Some of us will survive and find out.
See what happens when you provoke my mind with great poems like this one today?

A rather \'fire and brimstone\' church did their bit with some published prayer helps. One ran: \'O Lord, who in your anger in days of old plagued the people for their wickedness....... yet have mercy on us\'.
There is the aspect of God\'s anger, I believe, but they overdo that side a tad.
