I have many bets on Germany :beer:

I hope Miroslav Klose scores. Sad to say about England, but over the years the Miroslav Klose/Lukas Podolski duo has given me more pleasure to watch then seeing the English team not get through....yet again.

Thought I would amend this

"Although [STRIKE] fairly backward[/STRIKE], being one of the best places to live in Britain, with one of the best natural harbours in the world (Plymouth), being able to get to Europe without having to endure the pesky, time consuming, hassle of flying/driving/taking the train for a very modest £25 quid or so, not to mention a humble population, leery about shouting out Devon's superior (to most of Britain's) living standards lest all of England and half of Scotland decide to move there en masse, ...
Devon does use sterling."

I would love to live in a place where, if you're having a bad day, you can just pop over to France on a five hour, time to read a book, relaxing ferry service, for a bit of R&R. And no, Eurostar doesn't quite fit the bill.

Sadly, Scotland is also a great place to live, so I don't ever envisage being a southerner again. And Rosyth to Zeebrugge, or wherever it is they sail to these days is not quite what I had in mind...

Half the world HAS moved in here...seriously it was a cheap joke and no offence meant. 2/3 of my children are Devonians.

Proper update to follow in the next day or two, I've gotten out of the habit.

• Mrs E and I won an improbable 4/4 free spins on roulette (like guessing a coin toss 4 times in a row!) £80 profit :j
• Also made about £20 from matched bets today. We had a good weekend - we made about £100, spent nothing!
• Have started saving again (as opposed to putting a bit aside as and when).
• Signed up for my second half marathon.
• Off to watch Ratatouille, because I'm dead mature :eek:

I love that film! You could always say that you are watching it for the adult themes that always under lie these films??? (maybe, maybe not!)

Try not to be too put out by FB - I know it's hard - but your time will come...
