I don't know why this particular crime has affected me.  I really liked Ann, loved listening to her speeches and debates.  I wasn't a Strictly fan but did see her 'dancing' on it, she didn't care what people thought of her. It does make you feel vulnerable as a woman living alone and knocking on a bit like Ann.  Scrumpy said she closed her windows last night.  Sad isn't it ?

England struggled at times in this game, which was nothing like the Mexico game but was nerve wracking and not in a good way !  Thanks to the wonderful Jude Bellingham we managed a win and now face 39 year old Messi's Argentina.  They beat 10 man Switzerland 3-1 but had to wait until extra time to win.   We can't afford to worry about their reputation, if we can conjure up another Mexico type performance and we have unbiased officials  :rolleyes: we can beat them, fingers crossed.

Brave woman, but she could have been knocked down and injured, or even killed.
She was lucky this time, but I admire her.

Crime generally should be punished far more harshly.  I know I have said this before, but I believe that is the reason why there seems to be far more criminal activity today, along with the apparent lack of policing ability now.

I'm sure it is more than a coincidence that such things have become much worse since Labour became our government.

Tricky word for guessing. Four possible first letters and the one used probably the least common word of the four.

I imagine the heat messes with everyone's sleep. I wake early and can't drop back off. Then nod off in the day,  Go to bed fairly late. Rinse and repeat.

Quote from: Scrumpy on Today at 10:04:13 AMExcept that lovely old lad who .. when seeing a robbery take place... hit the robbers with her handbag..
 The robbers didn't raise a single finger in retaliation.. They would call that 'Respect man'..
Assuming it's the same one this is the story of the Northampton Citizen Vigilante with her trusty bag...

Quote from: Scrumpy on Today at 12:22:07 PMJBR..
You are so right.. Thugs.. killers.. and the like have no fear of facing a judge.. policeman.. or prison..
They rule inside and out..

The police have their hands tied.. and the judge is guided by others as to what sentence is dished out..

We are a weak country.. That being the reason for so many uninvited visitors..

Yes,   I'd agree with that.   :upvote:
