Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

This reminded me of something the late great Tony Benn once said.
This was shortly after the release of 'Dare to be a Daniel' one of his numerous books.
(For those who haven't read it, it is an autobiographical look at his early childhood and upbringing.)
Anyway, he was discussing memory and forgetfulness, when he confessed that his original 'working' title he used for the book was 'The Shredded wheat years' He said he chose this as many of his earliest family memories involved conversations during family breakfasts.
Prior to the book being published, he contacted the owners of the Shredded wheat brand for permission to use the name.
They replied saying that they had no problem with that . . . but they felt that they should point out that Shredded Wheat was not available in the UK until he was about 13 years old lol
Afternoon folks. I have just spent the most stressful, frustrating 2 hours of my life trying to complete the Spanish Health forms for our trip on Tuesday. There's nothing wrong with the process - mine went through like a dream but technophobe Mr F who has a mobile phone but never takes it anywhere caused no end of problems. Downloading the NHS app, verifying his identity - which involved his passport and a video in order to get his COVID pass, uploading his passport details again, more ID verification, COVID pass would not generate on his phone, had to go on the website to get it. I have now completed the process and feel like a very large drink is in order. I've also just checked into our hotel on line which also involved scanning passports. That took about 27 goes as well! I honestly felt like binning it all off and going to Scotland instead. Meanwhile Mr F snoozes on the couch oblivious.
I had no idea Sugar Puffs were no longer a thing. I'm actually quite shocked. You all sound like you had very lovely Saturdays doing things that you all enjoy - Hope the hangover is receding Fred. Brown sauce is the best thing to have on a bacon butty. Sweet chili sauce is quite good but brown cannot be beaten.
The results were favourable to us yesterday, fingers crossed we can get out of the mire and start moving up the table. I'm cautiously optimistic that Frank can do it for us. I'm warming to Tory Frank quite a bit. ? ? Could do with something against Spurs. I'll never understand how they qualify as a "big 6" team. We've managed to win the league 3 times since they last did. I genuinely think that Conte is regretting his move, that interview he did a couple of weeks ago was a real "please sack me I hate it here" message.
The situation in Ukraine becomes more heartbreaking by the day. And also more worrying. I hope there can be a peaceful resolution but it appears unlikely.
Every week we take part in a football predictions competition run by the working men's club one of Mr F's workmates goes to. You have to predict the result of 7 matches - win lose or draw. We all have a go. Yesterday my daughter was within six minutes of winning £1750 ( or at least a share of it!) she had Blackpool and Stoke as a draw, all her other results were up. It was 0-0 until Blackpool scored in the 84th minute. How unlucky was that.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday folks x

I guess a draw is better than a loss, especially If it was a hard game.
Especially against Limerick!
Results going our way this weekend does lift a little bit of the pressure. Even taking a point tomorrow would be a big step in the right direction.
Nice photos of the action today!
He actually broke the hurl with his fist!
Good morning all ,feel better not reading/watching the news until later .I hope all slept well and have a great day .
Morning all! Beautiful morning here and one I hope to take advantage of. I have to work but aiming for a 10 min walk every hour to get out and get some fresh air.
There’s just something about us playing on a Monday night that I can’t warm to. Maybe it’s not having a game at the weekend or maybe it’s the result impacting your week just as it’s begun? Just don’t know.
I will of course retract all this if we get a point even ?
