... his missus giving all the match tickets away and admitting later she'd never been to a game before.

That's some interesting accent he has... moments he sounds bit English, then a bit French, but also thought I heard a Saffer accent in there (and thought maybe Kayser suggested he was born there, but no)

Nice nod to the easy-going Canucks!

I got a bit of Saffer early on too. He's a good likeable pundit and his English is terrific. Very similar to Ibanez in those respects.

Practice helps.

He managed to get a decent looking Leicester bird which in itself is shocking

he is a front row after all.

The end of QI tonight had a story about a student who woke up, hungover, with "Brian is a twat" tattooed on his arm.

He has no idea who Brian is.

My GF has a mystic belief that she is surrounded by a bevy of invisible angels and benign spirits who work together to smooth out her life, from trivial matters like finding her a convenient parking spot to feeding her career opportunities.

If I have that sort of spiritual accompaniment, I reckon it comprises a bunch of comedians all keen to pull the piss for a bit of a laugh.

Much like this guy.

What is it about Military Contracts ?

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/h ... 58766.html

The army was forced to pause trials of its new £3.47bn fleet of tanks over design issues, which reportedly left them unable to travel safely faster than 20 miles per hour.

The paper cited a government report saying the speed restrictions had been caused by excessive vibrations in the tanks and that crews were limited to 90 minutes inside them at a time.

Problems with the new Ajax armoured fighting vehicles - which are supposed reach speeds of 40mph - also include not being able to fire cannons on the move

The report, due to be published next month, says the tanks cannot reverse over obstacles more than 20 centimetres high, that personnel must wear noise-cancelling headphones when operating them and undergo ear tests afterwards, and that the Household Cavalry Regiment "cannot conduct effective collective training" in them.

Slow; can't fire on the move; can't traverse obstacles 20cm high; & injures the crew.

What a bargain at £3.47bn !
