I went on the Saturday. It was brilliant, like being 17 again!

Exactly , I went to see Bellowhead on Saturday they were good.

When did the English start calling supper tea? I mean tea is that stuff in a bag you blend with water and is a nice drink. I mean you wouldn’t say you feel like supper and expect someone to make you a cup of tea!

I'm nearly 62 mate. Been calling it tea since I was a nipper as did my parents who were both born in 1921.

Supper is something you have with Horlicks before going to bed.

Playing in the street, "Gerrin, your tea is on the table, getting cold".

Usually followed by "Wait till Dad comes home".

Different days.

Do you remember the American cartoon Wait till your father gets home. Brilliant. Was it sergeant Whittaker, the granny on the look out for Commies ?

Growing up tea was about 4.30, supper around 7.30 was a drink of Ovaltine and a biscuit.

Were you 6?

Supper is for posh folks. I used to deal with an HR manager who was based inthe Plymouth office. She had a double-barrelled name , was a nice woman but very posh. She was always telling me she was going out for supper. In my house, supper is a couple of crumpets or a piece of toast!

Rice pudding and jam was our supper.

That was Jayne Casey, she was also in Pink Military Stand Alone. She was involved with the 2008 City of Culture campaign

She still couldn't sing mate. I saw them in Eric's, must have been 78 as I remember still being under 18 and they were knocking some lads back if they looked underage. Not the girls like? but there weren't many of them anyway. It was mainly lads. They played 1 song where it sounded like Donald Duck was singing?

Did you go to the Deaf School gig?

Was it good. I heard they weren't loud enough.

Sucks about the arm man!! My TT buddie here is going through the same thing.. hasn’t played for two months. Really hope it’s not a permanent issue!!

On the phlegmatic but I Can’t say I was too calm when I realised what had happened.. was really angry.. and astonished to be honest that they could do it without us waking up.

We have upped the security now and have a gate guard. It sucks but Botswana is so high in crime it’s like we living in SA again !

You mentioned an electric fence before and now a gate guard. Do you live in a complex? Like a gated community sort of thing?

Different days.

We seemed to play football morning noon and night in matches that never actually ended just faces would change as they went in for tea and came back out again.

No .. we used to.. but moved into town last year.. it does come with higher crime but way more convenient compared to where we were.

No the gate guard is literally for our house. The company take care of it fortunately. In Tanzania, where we lived a few years back, everyone had gate guards (askari) as there wasn’t really alarm response. But is Bots we thought it wouldn’t be necessary.

I was kind of hoping Argentina would bow out so the road ahead would seem easier but whilst they have Messi they must be one of the favourites ,saying that Senegal are no pushovers so let me not get ahead of myself here .
Have a great day all .
Today I will be mostly doing what slaves do
