My classmate was found. In another city. Drugged to amnesia. But we’re so happy that she’s alive. She was traveling via Istanbul and this seems to have happened in the airport because she left her handbag and mobile phone there... What scary world this can be...

That is actually completely terrifying!
But very glad she's alive!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Thank you. Me too. I love Dragons. Although if I actually ever met one, I would probably turn and run.

It is a nice avatar!
Though I don't believe in magic, I'm afraid..............

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Heading out to Gulf Shores tomorrow. Having a tortoise sitter makes me nervous.

I understand!
Mine is wonderful, thankfully.
@Tidgy-hebdomadal-vis
Cheers, Zak!

 

[EllieMay]

Probably find it on YouTube - It won't be a pretty sight!

Well that’s just the dumbest crap I’ve seen in a while.. ignorant people!!! [emoji35]

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

1-0 Uruguay! That's what I predicted!

Yup, Egypt were nothing much without Salah and played for the draw.
Nearly worked.
I went to the local cafe to watch this one , but their illegal internet card hadn't arrived, so i had to go to a cafe a bit further away. Extremely hot.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

And Carol snatches the lead!

@Tidgy’s Dad — I told daughter we’re rooting for Morocco (forgot that I predicted 0-0), and boy did she cry when Iran scored!

Very sweet!
So did several million Moroccans.
Me, i missed it
I watched the first 25 minutes when Morocco were totally superior and should have scored, but then felt very sick and sat on the cafe balcony til half time when wifey came to find me and we went home.
Saw the goal later.
Iran had zero shots in the second half, but Morocco's own goal header was quite an achievement.
Sigh.
African teams just can't score the killer goals.
The whole of Morocco was disconsolate, they knew that this was the chance, beating Spain and Portugal would be too much!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Wow.... good game. Ronaldo is #Amazing I think..

Well, he certainly thinks so!
But yes, one of the greatest players of all time.
Both defences are shonky, though, it was obvious at this point that neither team would win the cup.
Great game to watch, though.
I watched it at home, on Russian TV on my computer, which is how I watched most of the rest of the games this world cup, except for one on BBC, two on ITV, two on Ukrainian TV , two from the USA and one from Bulgaria!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

No, please no football. I am not interested in football and will watch no game. It is soo boring !

Sorry, Bee, lots more football posts coming up!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

This evening I proudly present:

A song of John Denver, named "Sunshine on my shoulders " sung by me today and dedicated to two CDR members that are actually not in the best health condition.
I am wishing @DE42 , Dan and @Laura1412 , Laura that you both are feeling better soon and that the sun will always shine for you.

...... and if I had a day that I could give you, I would give to you a day just like today.
....... and if I had a tale that I could tell you , I`ll tell a tale sure to make you smile.

Lovely, once again!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I need 1 more from Australia!
The only drawback to international matches is waking up 6am on the weekend to watch them.

We'll all have to do the same in 2026!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

We were up at 5.30am to ship our kids out

This match started at 11am for us.

And now France has scored...

France were not very impressive.
Australia deserved their point, but as usual didn't get it.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Check out "Snap" in his new home, he seems to be enjoying it

Lovely!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Iceland hold for a draw against Argentina

And now we have switched channels for the Rugby: South Africa V England...

Carol and I in supporting opposition

Fair result (football)
But the diving and play acting of the Argentinians was disgraceful.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

What was Owen Farrell thinking? Why not just kick the penalty?!

As expected England threw away their lead... Springboks 13- England 12

Twonk!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

It makes a change to anyone other than Adam who has any idea whatsoever what cricket and rugby are [emoji23]

test series v India just begun!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

And Lena takes the lead.View attachment 242154

Yes, but I did get most results right. Not scores, but results.
Ah, well, it's a lottery.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good Morning All
It is 06.30 over here. I am getting started on the laundry early today in the hopes of being finished before Father's day celebrations begin. I hope all the great Dads out there ( including Tort Dads) have an awesome day.
Not chat later. View attachment 242174

Thanks, but I believe I was still feeling pretty ropey that day.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

What was that saying about the apple and the tree?

"Don't eat an apple if you're a tree" ?
