These teams shouldn’t be in the World Cup. It’s just a revenue generating machine rather than a contest for the world’s elite

This match doesn't seem to be holding people's attention.

OI-not at the concert I went to

Too easy for you CW

Does Costello still do that roulette wheel thing for which songs he will sing?

R Whites Lemonade?

As long as you don’t google it

CW I’m guessing you know which famous advert Declan MacManus’s father starred in? Question open to anyone

How do we have South Africa vs Canada and poor old Morocco have to face Netherlands !! Strange

Saw Elvis Costello at the Albert hall a couple of weeks ago,at 71 he still does a decent show

Good shout from Mr P

nick - Mr P thinks Elvis Costello maybe.

I'm reminded of Eric Cantona’s quote about the seagulls following the trawler

Owen Goodman singing the Anthem is the highlight so far CW and I can’t look at that kit without thinking that the seagulls have had a field day

Two poor teams that shouldn't still be in the WC

So far looking like a 0-0 AET cure for insomnia type game

Canada v South Africa is a yawnfest so far, let’s hope no extra time

Dave Edmunds version of that great song every time for me. I do like to get a ticket to see Curtis Stigers at Ronnie Scott’s when he does his residency and Nick Lowe normally turns up to buy him a drink. Stigers recorded “What’s so funny about peace love and understanding” for the Bodyguard album which sold 45 million copies and was the biggest selling soundtrack album ever. Stigers tends to make a joke through gritted teeth about his ex wife and Nick Lowe being the only ones to make any money from his contribution to the album.

But I'd much rather live in her place in Vilnius than Garraf given that our time in Walchwil is coming to an end after nearly 20 years.

My only ever chat to Mrs MPH did reveal that she didn't like Russians very much ..

She is probably unlikely to make a loss on it either way so a wise investment.

Advance planning or paranoia - take your pick. But given the Russian/Baltics history I can see her point of view.

Prob AR but only just seen Newport County manager resigned, was worth it for the comments on twitter “For Fuchs sake” and “He’s Fuched Off!”

MPH-fair enough good advance planning by the look of it

CW - She's bought it as a bolt hole for her Lithuanian family (mother, brother and his family etc) for when Putin goes for the Baltics. Seriously. So I don't think it's a potential AirBnB option, no.
