One of the best ever players for Liverpool.
One of the best midfielders I've ever seen. Souness knew exactly how to play his game and drive his team forward. Even in the commentary box he was giving Ian Wright a verbal kicking!!

Superb manager at Rovers.

I confess I rarely watch any football other than Rovers at home every game - so that's been a long time.

The England team seem to be devoid of any imagination and creativity. Scotland played a hardworking, pressing game and defended from the front. The classic way to frustrate a supposedly superior opponent. Good performance from the team.

England do a nifty line in Alice bands. An average to middling team lacking any exciting talent - based only on last night.

Good morning. Looks as though we are in for a warm and cloudy day. That will do. We had a good walk yesterday though I forgot to switch my activity tracker off at the end - walked a long way quite fast!! :laugh:

Today? Well I've wandered through CC scattering pearls of wisdom around. 🤔 Not really sure after this. I have to deliver cycle kit to three members, visit my son, fiddle with a cadence sensor** and will probably do a bit on the allotment.

** Cycling used to be a simple hobby.

Good morning folks,
An impressive 0-0 victory by Scotland last night😉
Meanwhile I am without hot water ( or heating should it be needed ) The gas boiler which was serviced recently, has stopped working, the pump is running and I can see a small blue flame but I don’t think it’s firing. I’ve tried switching it off and on again, all to no avail.
I’ll wait until a more reasonable hour and contact the boiler lady.
stay safe folks 👍
 
Good morning all. Had a hold up free journey home yesterday evening, 7pm traffic around Edinburgh very light.
Been awake since 4. Today’s plan is to get the shopping done. And Mrs F has an appointment for her second jab at 9.30 so that will be a relief.

Mrs T does your boiler repairs?

Must admit my understanding of a boiler goes no further than the British Gas phone number! More seriously if you have the manual try following the procedure for shutting down and relighting. I've had success with this in the past.

I have enjoyed all the euro games I watched but was soooo bored last night that I switched off at half time and went to bed.
Slept well and was up at 0500.
Quick Aldi dash followed by a haircut is planned.
Interesting.........MrsD has a visitor this afternoon. They used to be best mates for many years until religion got in the way. We walked away......that is taboo.....and sadly the friendship fell apart. Being cynical, it will be interesting to see if her motives are genuine......I will report back :rolleyes:

Thank's for the suggestion, I've slid the lower cover off and checked the reset button hasn't popped, then followed the relight procedure detailed in the instructions panel. It goes through the starting sequence, pump starts running and I can see a small pilot flame through the inspection window, but the main flame doesn't light ( I'm used to hearing the " Woomph " as the boiler fires up ) I can also hear a regular tic, tic, tic, of the ignition circuit. At this stage my strategy would be to think of @welsh dragon and her Bloomers and then immediately jump under a cold shower, but it appears that that avenue is no longer available to me...
