Steak & Kidney Pie

[Robinia]

I really really fancy a steak & kidney pie. What's the next best thing to home made? Plenty of excuses for not doing my own at the moment! (individual please, not family size....so sad).

Now, now jude, don't start on Fabio, I like him. None of the other managers have done any good since 1966 have they!

Ha ha Robinia ..my lot reckon that if they tied my arms behind my back I would be struck dumb .I'm a hand waver and gesticulator par excellence :)
Mr.S and co were very sporting though and said that if England had won they would have supported them.
I'm no football expert but I think the Germans play as a team . They play for their country .
Our lot are far too hyped up in the press and behave like overpaid divas .

exactly shaney!

jno jnr's analysis is that Fabio comes from the Italian leagues, where they're all very defensive and 1-0 is a standard score. He also hauled a lot of ageing players out of retirement rather than seeking out new blood. He said he valued experience, but the only experience any of them have ever had in world cups is losing. The Germans on the other hand were all very young and eager and ran rings around them.

I wouldn't know, I was watching the cricket instead, where - though nobody seems to have noticed it - England have just thrashed the Aussies three times in a row and won the series even though there are two more games to go. So there's reasons to be cheerful, part 3, with parts 4 and 5 still to come.

Don't panic Jno ..cricket is also a talking point at Shaneytowers .Picky being a very good leg spinner in his days playing for Rutlish . Shame he didn't keep it up .I've washed many cricket whites and helped with lots of cricket teas in my time :)

I like Fabio too Neti!

A german won the Grand Prix today!! I do enjoy me Grand Prix.

And my Dad played cricket for Rutlish way back in the 50's until the 70's when he took his exams to become a cricket umpire. Unfortunately, he died in the early eighties when he was only 63, bless him. I spent my childhood at cricket matches. Those were the balmy days just after the war. Magic!

(I went to Rutlish's sister school!)

[shaneystar2]

Oh yes Lofty ... Ave, cara juventutis. How many times I have heard that sung at parents days and sports events :)

I didn't say Fabio wasn't nice I said, more or less, that he was too nice to be a football coach/manager... Take Ferguson he's not a particularly nice person (publicly) but he can get his team to do things other teams can't.
Well that's me done on me soap box for today!
Back to supporting my favourite team soon :o)

[shaneystar2]

They're now watching Argentina and Mexico :)
I give up ...hahhaa...The barbecue thing is still sitting out the back .They had bolts .
They bolted round the table ,and bolted back to the front room .......
Never mind ..I have a trifle .....all to myself ....cackle ,cackle ....

[netibiza]

I know jude, I wasn't having a go at you, I just hate the way the footballers are lauded. I feel so sorry for Fabio, he is so nice!

[Jude123]

I know you weren't Neti I was joking mostly. I agree that the pay they get is scandalous but I just love footie. My favourite sports are Wimbledon, football and Ssooker in that order so now I can concentrate on the tennis. ;-)

[Jude123]

I think that should have been snooker*

[LoftyLottie]

And the only sport I am interested in is F1. Sad isn't it!! But I do feel sorry for England now. One wonders if only that stupid referee hadn't disallowed their goal whether lifted spirits would have carried them through.

But they are paid too much, so what the heck............................

[swedeheart]

Well thanks very much for hosting the World Cup and in a butcher shop at that, Robinia, I've enjoyed it immensely;-) There can be only one way to put this thread out of its misery: BLOW ME! http://www.spitorswallow.co.za/blowme.php

[Robinia]

How d'ya like me to stick that where the sun don't shine Sweedie?

All these visitors & no one made me a pie....tut

[swedeheart]

He he he!
