We've just had an April shower here with stair rods and all but now the
Big Yellow Eye that hurts us, Precious, is out in the big room with the
blue ceiling. You can almost hear the grass growing; I expect it'll be
knee deep by tea time.

I find it most bemusing that a team of random (seemingly
interchangeable - well they often get swapped) chaps can suddenly become
'My' team and are automatically far superior to 'Your' team.

I was introduced to Scrabble as a child when we played as a family,
which was, I think quite a normal route into scrabble. What else was
there to do, saying 'snap' soon bores?.

Dumbed down Scrabble is an attempt to hook children into what is quite
an enjoyable, competitive game.

But it's the tribalism of those who have no actual connection to the
tribe which they attach themselves to - most notably football
"supporters" (in particular Manchester United supporters)

and ... (although I am reluctant to bring politics in to it) a
significant chunk of the Labour Party membership
