Lol. I think my sister who stays in the UK mentioned to me once that it is called football and not soccer. In SA they always call it soccer. Not reallt sure why it is different.
We, the British, set the rules. It is Association Football. Not soccer :D

The alternative is Rugby Football which later divided into Rugby Union and Rugby League. We set the rules for those too :D

Chores complete... Well, there are towels in the tumble dryer, but nothing else on the list.

It is very cold outside. I went out to sort out our bird feeders and froze. And this afternoon I had to hold onto the ladder so JoesDad could sort put some loose cables. That was enough. It looks so lovely and sunny out, but the wind cuts straight through you.

It's very, very quiet in here. I'll stop and give Montgomery a bit of attention. He's looking a bit lost and lonely and in need of a cuddle; poor thing
Just catching up. I should be sleeping but missed my friends. So popping in as quick as can be to catch up and post a reply or two.

Lol. Didn't know about the rugby rules. But do know that Football is a very English thing. I don't think that there many people who don't know about that. Here in SA the rugby and cricket are the sports most
favoured in SA. Football is also popular but not as much as the rugby and cricket games are.

It's sounding like a gas explosion, but only time will tell

The town of Rugby is here in England. It ahs a very famous private school, Rugby School, where a certain William Webb Ellis is supposed to have picked up a football and run with it... and thus rugby was born.

We are responsible for cricket too.

The British were very good at inventing sports, exporting them to colonies and then losing comprehensively ever since [emoji849]

I am sat watching the League Cup Final between Arsenal and Manchester City. Unfortunately, Arsenal are playing very badly and losing 3-0 with 10 minutes to go. JoesDad is not happy. I think I can hear Son shouting his annoyance from Bristol
Wigan beat Man City this week.
Arsenal are currently in need of a new manager.
