Best war beer tasted was Long Tom Lager in S Africa. It is named after a 25 ft gun used by the Boers when fighting the Brits in the second Boer War. Although called lager, it is a dark beer with a slightly sweet fruity taste. Delish.

Scotland will be leading 1-0 v Hungary, it will be another OG as that’s the only way The Scots can score 😉 Hungary will then break the Scottish hearts with a 90th min goal to send Scotland crashing out at the group stage of a major football tournament once again. The press and pundits will all be, ...

Hold on a minute. The Scotch smashed them in the qualifiers as evidenced by this headline Squeegees & classy Scotland see off angry Georgians So how on earth did they get to the Euro finals. Its almost like anybody can get there these days. FFS only half of Turkey is in Europe. Don't even get m...

Can't say I was filled with enthusiasm for this match. Glad I decided to watch. Best International I've seen for years. Never a dull moment and some fabulous skills on display

I think they should also talk about those ants who abduct baby ants from other ant nests and force them into a life of slavery.

Gerard and Lampard never worked well playing together, sometimes you just lose out if two good players are vying for the same spot. Classic example of that being Clemence and Shilton. Gerard and Lampard playing together may not have worked well, but I think Clemence and Shilton playing together wou...

I see that the table and chair throwing competition has begun in Gelsenwhatsit. The Serbs might give the English a run for their money this time Apparently it's Abanians v Serbians. Some England fans got caught in the crossfire. Does England not have any throwers there for this tournament? Jeez. Ki...

Nothing much changes. The The Rangers fans still revel in Scotland's misfortunes because of the weird way their collective brains (?) are wired

I find it mildly interesting watching matches and discovering where most of the Premier League players come from. I mean, obviously, if I was that interested, I could find out beforehand, but I'm not really. Who knew Akanji of Man C and Schar of Newcastle were Swiss? Not me obviously. Or that Chelsk...

Might not be as silent as I thought. There is to be a march of 150 pipes and drums from Haymarket to Tynecastle accompanied by the O's Bugle Band ( who knew? ). Sounds, um, interesting

These pub league jokes crack me up every time. Keep 'em coming!

Quality player, but undoubtedly a jinx (as Bayern Munich discovered this season) England will need to drop him if they wish to win anything

Do you think BBC News will have cameras at about a dozen English pubs watching fans jumping up and down when they score? Fabulous stuff which never grows old

He's got an Irish granny apparently. Don't know if the international football authorities still don't bother checking whether this actually true or not

Back in the glory days of the 70's, the away kit was blue and yellow. Looked great. Would be considered too gaudy nowadays I suppose where black or grey seems to be the in thing

I just don't understand how you can have such a reaction to it.

Possibly, like me, feels that a grey kit is just ever so slightly nicer than a brown one

Hmm. Certain death from electrocution, or take your chances with a shark which might leave you alone? Thankfully, Trumpet is opting for electrocution as he's very smart

Well, I'm pretty sure that 99.99% of people on earth would rather we didn't have any more wars, but we don't seem to get much say in the matter

I'll be praying silently as I make my way along Dalry Road. That should suffice

I'm just going to turn up at 3 o'clock to watch the game. I doubt they'll be re-enacting the Battle of the Somme during the match or anything like that

I would never bother trying to verify anything nowadays so rely on my life experience, which is; Tory MP's, self serving horrible bastards, Labour MP's useless tossers. Lib Dems seem like nice enough people but a waste of a vote as will never win in my constituency. SNP some real dodgy characters am...

I told my mate that I had built a model of the Eiffel Tower.
"To scale"? he asked
"No", I replied " Just to look at"

I told my mate that I was in the pub and saw another bloke with his girlfriend. I said that I saw him put his arm around her three times. He said that he didn't believe me as no one had arms that long.

The idea that new music is equivalent to the discarded skip outside Tesco says quite a lot about you. I said skip outside of a restaurant, not Tesco. Please do keep the astute tips coming oh wise one. “It’s much cheaper to book a holiday to Spain in the middle of November than peak time in July or ...
