IT WAS THE SIGN'S FAULT!!! IT MADE ENGLAND LOSE!

We went to down to Brighton again today to sit at the beach and do nothing.
Towards the end of the day, we found a pub in Brighton and watched the England-Portugal match. It was quite an experience... There was a lot of spirit at the pub - particularly led by three 12 year olds who were drunk out of their mind and becoming obnoxious... It wasn't long before they were shown the door. Anyway... as you may know, England lost during the penalty shootout. As we were leaving and walking down one of the alleys from the pub, the same three 12 year olds were beating the heck out of a sign for one of the local restaurants. Coincidentally, we decided to eat there Al Fresco. About 15 minutes later... another fool decided to also take out his frustrations on the same poor sign. It was clear... England lost because of that sign.

Word of the day:

"Pudding"

Aside from biscuit (see June 26), all other deserts seemed to be called pudding.

The usual four yearly search for a scapegoat is now on. Rooney has been absolved of all blame which has switched to Ronaldo. However, as Ronaldo is quite popular, especially with the girls, latest news (Sky Sports) is that it is all the fault of a 90 year old German who invented the concept of the penalty shoot-out.

The sign has, therefore, been reprieved. Any suggestion that it might be down to England's tactics of just playing with one striker and the fact that they were boring and defensive would be completely out of order and cannot be used, in any way, as a reason for them being knocked out of the World Cup.

On the subject of "pudding" .... one of the few things I really miss about the UK is steamed puddings served with custard. The legacy of too many school meals I fear.
