To Watch or not To Watch….. That is the question!

BySouthportRed

The great moral dilemma is whether to watch the World Cup or not and I’m torn.

Reasons to Boycott:

  • In the wrong place… Qatar’s human rights record stinks
  • At the wrong time…. It’s in the middle of our season
  • England are a deeply unattractive side to watch with a deeply risk averse manager
  • Wales might do well and we would have to watch Gareth Bale making stupid heart signs
  • The best passer of the ball in the England squad is being taken as a back-up because of injuries to less accomplished players

Reasons to Watch

  • England might (big might) win
  • Brazil might play like in 1970
  • Holland might discover a new Cruyff, Gullit, Van Basten and Rijkard all at the same time
  • Lionel Messi
  • Germany might get stuffed by everybody they play
  • Harry Kane might explode in indignation after not being given a penalty for an obvious dive

Are there too many “mights” in the reasons to watch column?

     We’ve been watching some of the BBC Proms concerts, and last night we watched The London Sinfonia play some music by American composers. While I found the second half of the concert a bit ‘difficult’, Adagio for Strings (Barber) was utterly beautiful. You will probably have heard it. It’s been in all sorts of films…

    The little gite on the prairie. This is a really nice little house. 5 rooms. The kitchen/diner and lounge are on the front with 2 bedrooms and the bathroom on the back. My only gripe is the shower cubicle which is a bit small. Or maybe I’m a bit big? Behind the gite is the…
