Well, here we are again!

Hand up, who likes whiskers on kittens? Warm woolen mittens?

Keep everthing on a fairly neutral trim here, ok? I'm hacked-off being zapped without explanation, so if you've got an axe to grid, start your own bloody thread about it and stop pumping up the action on my politically correct, innocent, and extremely non-contraversial thread which is all about stuff which guys discuss in pubs ( with the exception of sex, drugs, rock and roll and politics ).

Let's start with football. Scotland is at the top of its section in the World Cup. we are above Italy and France, which makes the universe upside-down. We meet Italy on Wednesday night and we should get the crap beaten out of us.

But, anything is possible!

Meanwhile, England are total rubbish. They drew nothing each with Israel at the weekend. They need a new manager and a new regime.

I'm just back from a weekend of gardening and planning. I was planning to build an extension on to the back of our house in Galloway. I was also putting in all the bedding plants and a honeysuckle so that my ol' lady could smell its scent and be reminded of her Grandfather's house and pub in Ireland ( which was blown up because he allowed both sides to drink there ).

My weekend was spoiled by the news of all our lads who were kidnapped by the Iranians. I hope that they are all fine and that wisdom will prevail so that this one doesn't get out of hand. The main thing is to get the boys out and away from the lunacy of Teheran.
