Well fought. All noteworthy performances. Thoroughly enjoyed them.

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

Yes, they were exemplary performances indeed.

[Bradley]

Oh! I probably slept through it all.

[Beatrice]

I think I did too!
Sarah McTernan’s was out in the second semi final and haven't watched much since.

Don't feel that bad as Portugal won in 2017

I recently finished two novels by Barbara Nickless:
Blood on the Tracks (Sydney Rose Parnell #1)
Dead Stop (Sydney Rose Parnell #2)
I enjoyed them immensely, well-written with a twist on the norm. The main character, Sydney Rose Parnell, is an ex-marine working as a railroad cop. I read them with Kindle Unlimited. Give them a look.

Happy Reading!

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

Thanks for the recommendation Robert. Will have a look.

[Alexis]

Anyone into sports?
The build up to the Scottish Cup Final featuring some of the worst analysis you will ever hear or see.

BBC Sportscene trying to be Sky Sports but failing miserably.

Embarrassing 🙈 https://t.co/tImvfsBaUO

[Graham]

Yes they were an embarrassment.

have you started reading it? Like the Bible, even if you don't believe the religious parts, the books hold an amazing history.

[Catherine]

I have actually and was pleasantly surprised by their beliefs. The only reference I had of them hitherto, was one in a Sherlock Holmes story.

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

Isn't the book based on the surmise that Jesus appeared in the Americas a couple of thousand years after his death?

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

[Bradley]

The religion apparently was founded in the early 1800's by Mr.Smith on the discovery of certain golden plates with the story on it.

I have had the privilege of watching this show on one of my trips to the mainland. Has anyone else watched this?
The Book of Mormon https://g.co/kgs/gDdWLk

[Alexis]

I would love to. However, they haven't reached in my part of the world yet. They do seem to have touched the US, Germany, Australia & Switzerland.

[Sandra]

On my to-do list now!

[Alexis]

Hullo! Hullo! Anyone home on a Friday night?

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

I believe they weren't Mr.Harding.😅

[Catherine]

Congratulations to all the winners!
Great new set of games GB

[Bradley]

Looks really interesting

[Beatrice]

Hurray for the new winners..

[Sandra]

Congratulations everyone

[Graham]

Some fantastic threads opened in my absence. Good to see them GB!

Re: Back in the jug agane ...

There are 3 other books to delight you:

How to be topp
Whizz for atomms
Down with skool!

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

Thanks Bernard. Will keep your suggestions in mind.
Are they by the same author?

[Bernard]

Yes all by Geoffrey Willans and Ronald Searle

[Catherine]

They sound delightful

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

Bernard wrote: "Yes all by Geoffrey Willans and Ronald Searle"

Thanks. Will have a look at them. Have marked the first one to read already. It does get progressively more and more difficult. The bad spellings are getting more and more complicated and are soon forming a language of their own! But it's humorous nevertheless.

[Bernard]

The bad spellings is my favourite part!

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

Mine too!

[Peter]

Not sure if this is the right thread, but does anyone know of any good book blogs? I'm trying to find some more places to reach out and request book reviews.

[Catherine]

Meanwhile, do keep posting your book excerpts on this site. Our in-house reviewers will offer their expert opinion.

Hi Beatrice.

Thank you.

Don't be a stranger to Poetry. I'd love to have you visit and chat.

[Alexis]

I'll come if you'll have me 😁

Thanks Frank. I'll wait for the Muse of Poetry to inspire me before I venture there.

I can make it easy, Beatrice. I think I'll start a Haiku round there, where each person only has to add 2 lines - seven and then five syllable. More counting than poetry.

Come and have a play (only if you want to, of course).

Would you let a computer style your wardrobe?

[Beatrice]

I would never let a computer style me!

[Alexis]

You don't need it B. I'm positive. 😁

[Alexis]

Anyone watching the gentleman's game?

[Beatrice]

Thanks A!

[Catherine]

It is an India Pakistan cricket match that has the whole world hooked, but alas, I cannot be persuaded to stare at the television for that long.

[Graham]

You are missing something then.
