England player dives to win a penalty in their semi-final against Japan.
Yes I agree.
Some of these players men and women fall easily in the box……….I was hoovering up once knocked the telly and Emil Hesky fell over.
Opps…..Eating my words…… the shove on the Japanese player was outside so technically not a penalty.
The English girl had her ankle stepped on so technically a fair penalty.

They just played the England penalty back, and it was not a dive.

Offline Mid to high 30’s even in the 40s is normal here night times are hot too …….However, we have air-con. The Uk in general isn’t well set for extremes of heat or cold……. So I feel some sympathy.

Offline If that was against England the whole country would be going mental calling her a cheat and demanding diving was driven out of the sport and she be banned for 5 years. England player does it and its find any contact whatsoever to justify it and claim it wasnt at all soft.
It makes me the laugh the hypocrisy.

Ahhh, so that’s where you’re bound. No wonder you were half-packed a week early. 
Weather sounds the same as here.
Have fun in Hong Kong I’m sure you will.

Which is why Scotland is wonderful. Stupid temperatures such as that know better than to come here at night.
And that’s why you UK-ers have to drink all that hot tea. Not so much preference in some cases but simple survival. 
I like my tea, but it’s difficult to pull it off when it’s 95F (35C).

We were watching the game, so it was what was happening in our lives, which is why meanmistermustard started this conversation in this thread. I simply joined in.

Offline My fault in where they were and so they have been move out.
There is no ‘what are you doing right now’ thread, it was merged a while back with ‘In My Life – What’s Happening…’ but I found a post from Joe (which i’ve now lost*) which said that the ‘In My Life – What’s Happening…’ thread should be kept non-trivial so they have been moved in here.
*Found it again – i had it open in another browser.

Offline Recently, @meanmistermustard posted a video that featured characters from Sesame Street. One of screen shots in that vid was of a childhood favorite, Guy Smiley. A quick Google search of images made me realize what a true Renaissance man he is. There is nothing he can’t do. That inspired me to work on the following, sung to the tune of ‘Everybody’s Got Something To Hide Except For Me And My Monkey’. If you would like to sing my lyrics along to the original song, a video of the song is under the spoiler. The numbers in (Brackets!!) next to the lyrics correspond to the numbered pics below which inspired said lyrics.
With no further ado, I present to you my tribute to the man, the myth, the Muppet…Guy Smiley.

ZigI say in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. I am then asked if I know of any artists who pulled that off. I reply, 'The Beatles did'.
