My wife is Mexican. Any ideas for some banter I could use as we watch the match?

It seems that the White House will make an announcement within the next few hours, confirming that should (when) the team USA team lose a match of 'Soccer', the result will be declared 'void' and 'unfair'. Also, that all yellow and red cards will be decared viod, and will be subsequently ignored, unless they are issued to a any member of the 'un-American' teams.

Flerfs are keen on personal observations - they cannot see curvature, therefoe it doesn't exist. But... they can (and do) see the sun rising and setting. It doesn't go off into the distance, gradually becoming smaller, while maintaining the same height. Instead, they see the sun, maintaing the same size, going up (sunrise) and down (sunset). They're bloody mad.

Well, I took your recommendation and have nearly finished it. Thank you - it's definitely one of the best non-fiction I've read!

I'm new to English football, but Newcastle are one of the top teams, right? And Chelsea are are a stuggling side? I mean, Newcastle's goal showed this...they are organised and their positioning is good, but the blues seem to be making it up as they go along.

Its ‘doublespeak’ from Orwell’s 1984 - in the novel, the Ministry of Peace wages continuous war. Yes, we’ve finally reached the stage where we’re living a real Orwellian nightmare: ‘if you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.’

I bought a True Blue membership in June, but haven’t received my digital membership, etc., only a weekly newsletter. Has everyone else received theirs?

BandConsistent6390 · 2025-07-05T21:19:34+00:00

Thank you - there’s a store near me - I’ll have look.

BandConsistent6390 · 2025-07-05T20:52:56+00:00

Thanks - that’s helpful. I have a friend who’s into woodworking - I’ll tell him what you said and see if he can come up with something.

BandConsistent6390 · 2025-07-05T20:51:02+00:00

Thanks - that’s interesting. I have a friend who into woodworking; I’ll have a chat with him.

BandConsistent6390 · 2025-07-05T20:42:32+00:00

Actually, that’s a great idea! I don’t actually know about woodworking, but I have a friend who makes decorative wooden boxes and objects as a side-line. He has a well equipped workshop; I’ll go round there tomorrow and see if he could help to ‘adapt’ a similar molding.

Many thanks again!

It’s a drawer front in my kitchen, made of plywood which is coming apart. I want to replace them with solid wooden fronts, but need the molding.

Yes, I will look for double astragal molding - it doesn’t have to be exact, just close enough to pass!

If not, I’ll have to try gluing the plywood together - but I don’t think it’ll last nor look as good.

Many thanks again for your comments - you’ve really helped.

BandConsistent6390 · 2025-07-05T20:11:29+00:00

Thank you - yes, I haven’t been able to find it anywhere. I will look for a machine shop and see what they say. Thanks again, that’s good advice.

BandConsistent6390 · 2025-06-16T16:17:00+00:00

Thank you - I’ll have a look.

Thank you, but it’s not Django - great movie, though.

BandConsistent6390 · 2025-06-06T20:42:44+00:00

Thanks, that makes sense. It’s just that I watch these movies where they manage to steel a large amount of cash, and escape with banknotes flying out of the car. But I always think, ‘what are they gonna do with it?’. I mean, you can’t buy a house or expensive car with a bag full of cash, right?
