The title of this thread is rather apt
Not proud of it but broke the social distancing rules by going for leg-over with one of the barmaids out of our local last night.
Didnt help that I had a tickly cough cos Id slung a packet of Lamberts down my neck whilst sat in my garden in the afternoon sun.
We'd been giving each other the eye before the lockdown and I'm f00ked if I was hanging around until pub opens again.
It could be Xmas!
Oh, and the alcohol abstention went out the window as well.
Litre of vodka followed by a couple of bottle of wines.
Well, if your gonna get back on it you might as well do it properly.

Presumably you got your leg over before the litre of vodka and bottle of wine - if it was the other way round you have my ultimate respect

It was after mate.

Helps that she's sixteen years younger.
And the blue diamond pills always come in handy.

Some would say it was non-essential, but hey, so is a morning paper and a bread loaf if we wanna go down that route.

I watched a documentary on Iplayer about Steve McQueen and the Le Mans film, his ego carried the production without a script for so long that when they eventually had a script to shoot they had to paint the leaves green because the season had changed. The lack of script and trail of destruction reminded me of something that is happening right now but in that instance he was following the art.

Clever cookie is Cummings. Just a pity he's batting for the wrong side.

That is a big IF and if true why will they not release the minutes of the meetings which would show his positive contribution.

Why have you singled out France and Toronto out of curiosity?

Now do you see why I singled out these two clubs ?

The immediate future doesn't look great for any spectator sport but, travel between different countries will take longer to sort out than any domestic travel, especially as far as spectators are concerned.

There will not be any spectators at sports events during 2020 - all sport will be played - if at all behind closed doors
