The RedBlacks took a trip to Montreal to end CFL week 4. The Als started with a FG try; off the upright. Lots of scampering for 21 yards for the Als, then a bomb pass to the end zone. A FG in reply, 3-7. A flying helmet as the Als got close in Q2, TD. Another FG for the RBs. Close after a bomb pass as the half ran out, Charge! from the 1, 6-21. A pick stopped the visitors with a minute left.
A pass into traffic, a walk into the end zone, TD for the RedBlacks, 12-21. They were back for another TD in the 11th minute of Q3, 18-21. A TD for the Als 4 minutes in to Q4. Scramble, pass, RBs close, “What a catch!”, 25-28.
A TD for the Als with 5 minutes left. FG for the RBs, 28-34. One for the Als with a minute left, 28-37. So the RedBlacks returned the kick off for a TD!!! 34-37. Final. Triffic!

Finally, back East
Bottom of the pecking order
Should Jonah Bandwagon become our Prime Fantasist without a mandate, what of our special relationship with the USA? Given that President Thump sees the Bandwagon Kid as just the mayor of some town while he’s the boss of the greatest nation in the world, it’s always going to be D.T tooling down on J.B from a great height.
Go for the real thing
A comparison of real foods and vegan copies found that the vegan versions contain twice as many additives. The advice to real vegans is that they should eat natural plant foods rather than pretend that they’re getting meat and other animal products.
NHS ‘tin god’ culture
Maternity patients and babies dying of neglect at Nottingham University Hospital NHS Trust. Bullying, but by unnamed managers, male and female, creating a toxic culture over a decade and a half. Anyone going to gaol? Joke!
Stafford hospital all over again? And nothing done about it?
Penetrating the past
Memory can be a very selective thing. One of my correspondents has been reading a collection of short stories, which he penned as the 20th century moved into the 21st.
He’s finding that he can remember some of the episodes of Babylon 5, now showing on the Legend channel during the week and which pre-dates his book by about 5 years. But he has found he could remember only the longest of his own book; mainly because he reworked the novel-length story as a stand-alone member of his Personal Publishing Programme nearly 20 years ago.
● Shocking fire hazard, all them candles on B5!!
He’ll be chips
One thing we need to be practising now putting on an air of indifference when foreign politicians make dogfood out of our featherweight self-appointed replacement Prime Fantasist.
Heat dome hazard
According to the heat guru, you need to park your car next to a large van or lorry, or in shade created by trees. But will this lead to road-rage incidents when overheated motorists find themselves competing for a prime spot?
