Friday Nite

Next up, the Argonauts in Montreal on a beautiful evening. A quick opening TD for the Alouettes. A FG in reply. A 45-yard try by the Argos missed. One by the Als scored, 3-10. The Argos were held to a chip-shot FG 10 minutes in to Q2, 6-10. One for the Als, then a TD for the Argos as the half ran down. 13-all.
    A huge pass play at the start of Q3 went for a TD after a rouge for the Als, 20-14. The Als kicked a FG. One for the Argos to start Q4, 23-17. The Als shoved their way into the end zone. Blocking a punt and winning an end zone scramble gave the Als another TD! 23-30. A TD each to follow, 30-37 final.

CFL Week 2

The TigerCats were in Winnipeg in Week 2. The Blue Bombers started with a FG. A TD the other way then one for the BB at the end of Q1, 7-19. A TD for the Cats in Q2 then the defences held up until another TD for the Cats in the last 3 minutes. 21-19. No end zone DPI for the Cats, then a FG for them, 24-10.
    A FG for the Bombers 3 minutes in to Q3. Harder rain. End zone DPI by the BB, charge! from their 1, TD Cats in Q4. The BB got close, TD, 31-20. FG by the Cats with 4 minutes left. Charge from the 1, TD Bombers, 34-27. The Cats ate clock to a FG and a win, 37-27.

Union? No way!

The EFU countries are making a total bog of the new border checks for the Schengen Area. Despite belonging to what is called a Union, the individual members seem to have no definitive plan. Various countries are doing it differently due to things like lack of staff and lack of technology.
    The result is shambles with delays of four to six hours for those hoping to get the hell out of the Schengen Area.

Dead end

The IMF reckons our wonderful government has pushed dept to the limit. Our Fantasist of the Exchequer has put the UK on course for needing a bail-out from the IMF. Just like the one Sunny Jim Callaghan and Denis Healey inflicted on us in 1976.

No basis in law, but . . .

The South Wales Police farce is getting a booting for introducing its own blasphemy law by the back door. Coppers have been told to log non-crime criticism of Islam, which could be used to blight the employment and other prospects of their victims.
    Criticism of other religions is to be ignored.

Lottery win equivalent

A diver clearing up the sea bed by removing netting from a shipwreck between Tunisia and Sicilly got an unexpected bonus – the first ever film of a rare Mediterranean great white shark.
    Very few of them, the experts reckon, and no danger to tourist beaches.

Still blasting

No one in the Middle East is listening to President Thump. Iran and Israel keep popping off at each other for one reason or another. And more and more of Lebanon ends up flattened.
    The pundits are now suggesting that Thump will turn his back on the whole mess and invade Cuba to put a victory under his belt before the mid-term elections in the Untied States.
