Yes Pauline, great weekend thanks. Good weather and lots of football, what more could a guy want :-))

[paulineward]

Good for you!! I must be one of the few women who like the football! We were together with all the neighbours on Saturday and carried on today. Think England need to show a bit more promise!!

Here's to a good show on thursday....enjoy!!!

[Magyar]

We'll be fine on Thursday, it's only T&T after all !!!

Hopefully, we'll get a bit better with each match, and by the final we'll be world beaters (I hope).

[paulineward]

We said that about Paraguay!!

You sound just like my hubby....eternally optimistic about England!!

Hope so anyway. The longer we stay in it the better the feel good factor! .....Mind you ..will cost more in beer and burgers!!!

Would be great to get to the final!!!

P.S. How did 14d get to this!!!???!!!! ...o:))

[Magyar]

Possibly because Alma Mater reminds you of the good times at school, and over the next few days (and hopefully weeks) we're thinking of the good times again, but this time with Beckham holding that golden trophy aloft. (We can all dream can't we).

Talking of dreaming, I think it's time for bed. Cha t with you again Pauline. Good Night and good luck with the crossword.
