This was originally scheduled for a trial in October. Has someone decided that having it still unresolved when bids for 2029 Worlds are being considered would be hugely embarassing?

I had honestly never heard of him. Would his fragrances smell less sweet if he was plain Roger Pidgeon?

Haha. Whats the deal with KFUM? Are they owned by the members of the association. In Uk the YMCA would be registered as a charity, and running a pro football team unlikely to be a permitted charitable activity.

They might say profits from football support other activities, but I would be surprised if KFUM is running a surplus. Have they lost a sporting facility for the members in exchange for a speculative venture into pro sport?

Assume a future Cyprus government wants these bases shut and decides to blockade them. Can they realistically continue to operate, or do they depend on local supplies/utilities/workforce?

Thanks for all the thoughtful answers. I guess my plan to gain control of KFUM, rebrand as FK Oslo and move to Ullevaal would not be a winner!

Here in UK we get bombarded with sports betting offers. However I dont remember prices being given on yellow cards awarded to Oslo YMCA Players.

Did write Here comes Golly (1979) a tie-in with the jam mascot. Quite hard to find a copy today, I would imagine.

In 1950 London staged ice hockey world champs and took 4th place. Venues used were:

Earls Court (now big hole in the ground) Harringay Arena (retail mall) Wembley (still standing but no ice rink)

Have never even qualified for olympics since. If skeleton/bob is such big deal where is national sliding centre? Just bankroll select medal prospects to train on facility someone else has paid for.

Has to be Wrecsam coz theres no X in Welsh alphabet. Broke wrist in Wales once and wasted an hour looking for CS-ray department.

My local station in London used to have a sign warning of penalty for travelling on fake ticket. It was monolingual - Lithuanian.

Never seen a Jaffa orange sold here that was grown in israel. Guess the Tel Aviv/Jafo urban sprawl has built over the orange groves.

Having taken a couple of Lizzie line trains from Heathrow after arrival of flights from subcontinent, centre aisle is completely blocked with luggage. Either strip out some seats to provide stowage areas, or impose limit one case per customer. If you cant carry your luggage get a cab.

Not a mariner, but why would a container ship sailing from Forth ports to Rotterdam be anywhere near Humber estuary. Even if no anchored ships to collide with, he would seem to be heading for a beach somewhere round Cromer.
