Timing

As the somewhat startled winner of both December comps it falls upon me to set the next contests.  The question is, do cherished colleagues want them immediately with a closing date during the festive season or do you want to wait until after the final New Year burp?  I’m easy either way, but any suggestions/comments/guidance would be gratefully received.

Photo. Comp. #35 – The Winner

Eclectic, is that a real word?  Probably the first time I have used it.  That’s what they were, a small selection but the essence of the year was there.  Echos of the Olympics in Ara’s 1948 notice  and JM’s golden pillar,  a fine piece of  building by Pseu. , the artwork, well not my kind of thing, I’m more Gainsborough than van Gogh, but to each her own.  Then  couple of events by OZ, one tragic and one dramatic (see what I mean about eclectic).

I should know better. WARNING

What a weekend. IT started in the week when I downloaded a programme to get a file sent. The programme was Frostwire.

First I did an uninstall on both, even tried system restore. Yes both said it had gone… No it hadn’t

Frostwire installed and by default even though I ticked NO it installed a website hijacker called Funmood. It has taken all day to remove this bugger from my PC. Continue reading “I should know better. WARNING”

Happy Bloody Christmas America

Eighteen children under ten and ten adults said to have died in Connecticut school.

Link here

Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States is the right to keep and to bear arms.

Right, or is it?  How bloody sad for the parents of these children, and the families of  their teachers who were slaughtered.

I doubt very much that the citizens of the United States would want any restrictions to their right to bear arms but is there any way these killings can be prevented?

Only My Opinion

I’ve been hoping that someone else would post on the ‘Great Australian Media Hoax’. But since no one has – I’m going to stick my neck out …

As I am sure most here are aware – two young Australian radio presenters phoned the King Edward VII hospital pretending to be the Queen and Prince Charles. The call was put through. The nurse who put the call through has, allegedly, committed suicide and the two young people have been accused of causing that death. Continue reading “Only My Opinion”

To get to the RWC…

… All Cyprus have to do is:

Win European Nations Cup Division 2C – the win against Slovenia put them top with two wins from two.
Beat the winner of European Nations Cup Division 2D in a straight knock-out – likely to be Norway or Greece.
Beat the winner of European Nations Cup Division 2B in a straight knock-out – Israel are favourites to win that
Beat the winner of European Nations Cup Division 2A in a straight knock-out – Netherlands currently lead the way
Beat the winner of European Nations Cup Division 1B in a straight knock-out – Germany, Ukraine and Poland are possible opponents
Beat the third-place team from European Nations Cup Division 1A in a straight knock-out – Georgia, Romania, Russia and Spain are among the Division 1A sides.
ONLY THEN WOULD CYPRUS QUALIFY FOR THE REPECHAGE COMPETITION
Win a repechage semi-final against a team from Africa, the Americas or Asia.
Win a two-legged final against the other semi-final winner.

Piece of cake 😀 Go Moufflons!
