Only watched the last 30 min I thought the Villa were deserved of the 1:1 score ... the L'pool goal aside .. In fact I thought Villa was playing some attractive stuff, pressing in Liverpool's half. The bit I saw as an attractive game to watch.

His horse had radar and flashing lights as I was driving towards him.

Fined once ... 117 in a 100 km/h .... 20 minutes south of Britstown ... middle of nowhere. (South Africa, ca 1982) Warned once, 106 in a 80 (ca 1989) . The RCMP officer must have been really good mood that day. The speed limit on that road was upped to 90, then 100 and dropped back down to the current 90 km/h.

I was ... sensitive are we? Regarding the collaboration, according to Wiki "In May 1946, Hergé was issued a certificate of good citizenship, which became largely necessary to obtain employment in post-war Belgium." Hergé himself was a conservative and Catholic in his views.

Get your own thread. Must of been about 2002 in Belgium, I wanted to get a set of Tintin videos for my son. Found a small video store and asked for a set of Tintin videos. The store owner had less English than I had French. He did not have a clue what I was talking about. Eventually he cottoned on I meant Tantan. He did not have any. As a kid, I would go to the library in King's Heath and loan out Tintin books, as an adult I always thought the books had an amazingly subtle humour. I have a fairly complete set now. Though in today's world Herge might not be politically correct, but I can live with that. Eventually got a video set in Vancouver. The film I thought was OK, but not the same as the books. Destination Moon and Explorers were the pinnacle for me.

I always wonder how someone can get elected, when they have weighed the evidence and have come to the conclusion that an angel came to a lady called Miriam (or whatever it is in Aramaic), foretold of some kind of divine birth, and that the resulting child will be the son of god or some prophet, is a reasonable proposition to move forward. Sorry long sentence. And perhaps wrong thread.

Beautiful sunny day here ... Here? halfway between Calgary and Vancouver, near the US border.

Solihull in the boring thread? Nooooah!

You're welcome But more on topic ... I gather Villa were pretty dire for the first seventy minutes or so and were relatively entertaining for the last twenty. So this should be a really good teaching moment for Smith and the team. Hopefully Dean can highlight to the team what were the secrets of doing well and show them what he wants to see from the team in the coming matches. To me this is a huge positive, it shows the team can play attractive football even in their current form.

I didn't get it ... but to be fair I got stuck at stroking. Had to look up the cheddar one too

This is quite possibly true ... I don't know. But the important thing is to find someone to blame. Oh wait this is the Dean Smith thread.

I just did a Google drive-by on Cattel Rd. Barely recognized the place ... Fifty years ago I used to go along that route to school. (54 Bus). It is a lot better now than in the middle and late sixties.

Preferably from North Macedonia?

The demolition costs won't be trivial even if the thing is falling down by itself. I would guess several million. Any idea how to get a valuation of the land ... brownfield for development? Any estate agents here?

Watched the second half. England looked terrible until Poland scored. Absolutely no ambition. Improved after the equalizer ... turned up the intensity a little, reached a really pleasant tepid: but very little creativity. I suppose the goal was nice ... well taken header, brought back nicely - fell nicely. If the defender was more worried about the ball than Maguire, then it might not have been a goal. Having said that Maguire took the ball really well. The last five minutes of play exemplified England's ambition and imagination.

Just following the religious fruit 'n nuttery on the Villa Facebook page regarding wishing people happy holidays 'n all. Well the spirit overcame me. Happy holidays to the supporters who have the Blues just off the Coventry Road.

According to Wikipedia their GDP is there but not their PPP

Not much and as bickster points out, population density matters data. UK 1888 per million, US 1659 deaths per million data Of course we can compare Canada covid death rate is half that of the US. While I might not put it all down to population density. Unless someone claims that Americans are denser on average.

Ideally ... we would want international calibre players at each first team position, regardless of whether the national manager recognizes them as such. My take: Martinez Without doubt international calibre Cash Seems to be playing well enough to be worthy of an England shirt Konsa Seems to be playing well enough to be worthy of an England shirt Mings Now the criticism has died down, I think most would agree worth an England shirt Targett Seem to really close to being worthy of an England shirt McGinn Although a worthy Scotland international, likely would not get into the England team. Luiz We'll see if he makes a regular breakthrough into the Brazilian side Traore A fun player, not sure he is a top flight international calibre player, definitely nice to have on the bench Barkley Time seems to be passing him by Grealish Enough said Watkins We'll see how it goes.

For me the question is how do we get the five new player for the first team (assuming the players replaced become back-ups). Say five new players at 40 megapounds a pop, can't see it happening might not even be allowed. But it will be the quickest and perhaps the riskiest with team dynamics Buy cheap (but wisely) and develop ... takes time and skill Bring in the developing players (U23s) again takes time Some combination? I don't know the answer this why Dean and company get paid the big bucks.

While I think this is close to an accurate statement, if we we take into account Martinez is world class, and Watkins and Grealish are also worthy of an England shirt, this does prompt to where the Villa squad need strengthening.

Depending on the type you may have a valve/key to bleed the radiator of air. At least it used to be like that. Are they stone cold ... you should get a little bit of convective heat from the hot water?

Used to cross underneath that thing 1968-72 ... Get off the 50 at Bradford St cut through and go underneath the overpass, take my life in my hands to cross the Coventry Road and catch the 54 to school in Bordesley Green

There is no need tp be rude.

Despite opinions to the contrary you are partly wrong. ... Sorry The zed spellings are older English and sometime in the 1800s Britain started changing to the ise spellings. The colonies followed suit, whereas the States retained the zeds ... or more laughably the zees. They were not influenced by the change in the Empirical spellings. Here in Canada we don't have the guts to go one way or the other. My Concise and Short Oxford dictionaries default to the zeds.
