Why on Earth would one want to do that Ej ?

Whimsically

It`s a very nice car indeed. Continue to enjoy.

Is it a Minor or a Minor 1000 Wayne? It looks very nice and has not really changed much since my 1948 Black Split Windscreen Minor with an 848cc side valve engine.

Minor 1000 ?

Very pleased for you Himesh. You really must read your Handbook several times as it is extremely informative. It would have avoided you calling out the AA. Looking forward to your future contributions.

Richie, what can you /Alex tell us about the loss of HJ ?

A great Posting James.

Some of know exactly what you mean Luigi. Just keep sending those pertinent Postings in and you can retain our overseas Ambassadorial Role.👍👍👍

We still love you Luigi..........................just take a break while we take ourselves apart.🤣🤣🤣

Thank you my friend for your penetrative observance of my (Dover?) soul. Had you not declined my invitation to interview you would have been better informed than you are today.🤣🤣 I have been a competitive sportsman all of my days. Far too small to play Ruggers, but I did open the batting for School and Employer and bowled slow left arm round the wicket many many years ago. I played football, Tennis, Squash and Golf and never went anywhere with the intention of not winning. A good mindset to have methinks. Reasons are more important than excuses in all walks of life. Glad you are back from your holiday and hope that it was most enjoyable.👍

Not too many know of him Bernard. I`ve just translated that article to English. Many thanks.

All fair points Ed. The Strategy was to win the game. The tactics were designed to achieve the Strategy In my recent dreams I met a man who was the son, of the son of the son of an old Wizard named Brian Clough. This old Wizard had once said "Give me a Goalkeeper, a Centre Half and a Centre forward and I `ll give you a Team. Last night we had a Goalkeeper who plays as if he`s the Curates Egg. Good in parts. Last night he hoofed the ball upfield many ,many times and on 90% of occasions he gave the ball to Italy. He saved a couple of penalties and let three in by choosing to dive before the ball had been kicked. Southgate let him do that. Last night we had a Centre- Half, in fact we had two. One was submissive throughout and the other more dominating, but who cannot be pivotal ,nor head a ball in the direction of the goal, nor does he display leadership qualities that demand that other midfielders control the midfield. Our midfield did not turn up last night. Southgate was responsible for that. Last night we had a Centre forward whose midfield play and ball distribution skills were first class, but that was not his job. It was the job of others who were not evident. When he was in the Centre Forward`s position in the opposition`s penalty area he was on his own surrounded by the opposition. Southgate was responsible for that. The Manager selects the Team and allocates individual responsibilities in such a way as to play to everyone`s strengths for the benefit of the whole team. We were fortunate to finish second last night.

And he did it last week Al. I think that HJ has either retired, or is unwell or will relaunch himself using another name. Let`s all keep our eyes open. I saw him recently on a Facebook Zoom type motoring phone in.

I was saying that at half time Ed. No strategy, no tactics, no leadership, no full team(Sterling might well not have played), no evidence whatsoever that Southgate has changed anything. And I watched the game with TV on mute so as to avoid "the atmosphere" the hype and the superfluous drivel called commentary.
