PHILINFRANCE

Today's was very much the same. All the letters after three attempts, but, a la Eric Morecambe, not in the correct order. Wordle 1,011 4/6

As I mentioned earlier, I was only missing the fourth letter, and would have inserted a ‘T’, but that had already been excluded. My infrequent failures to complete WORDLE have all been due to a choice of several possible correct words with my final letter on my last attempt, sometimes several attempts.

Perhaps, but over and above his involvement in the playoffs, I still consider his goal against Scunthorpe to be one of the best I have ever seen live.

It is, of course, better known as a forename, but is also the second word in a well known phrase, hence my comment in my earlier post about the fact I completed it on my fourth attempt. Re. failures, I have failed WORDLE on a few occasions, but never failed to complete QUORDLE.

I did, actually, in my first go, along with the fourth letter, both of which were green - obviously a fortuitous start. I had four green letters by my third go, and the obvious choice for the missing fourth letter had already been ruled out, making it a formality to complete. I have posted previously that I far prefer QUORDLE. I do both most days, but find WORDLE very much a game of chance.

I actually completed it in four, which I thought was slightly amusing - forth and all that, assuming it was the same word. Why might there have been some ructions? I also completed Quordle to maintain my long successful streak (completed, but not in four), but I cannot for the life of me remember the word.

Unfortunately, the link says (for me) that the site cannot be reached. Any chance of a copy and paste? Thanks in advance.

Hopefully, at the expense of Forest.

Did you form the impression that their proportions are huge? I have been to Portugal and Madeira on several occasions and, apart from the quality and (by UK/French standards) fantastic value for money, I often found difficulty in finishing my plate. As you say, their markets, especially their fresh fish and seafood, are quite spectacular.

The artichoke looks absolutely wonderful, as did the ox cheeks in your previous post, both very well presented. Over here, Jerusalem artichokes are called topinambour, are frequently eaten mashed (like potatoes) and look like this.

Any particular reason why @Silvio Dante and @GrahamC showed national flags for all the countries, yet wrote NI?

Sure, we may have been crap today, but did you watch us against Southampton?

Indeed. Right man perhaps, but wrong job. A shame, nevertheless, that he appears to have tarnished his reputation once again. I wonder seriously whether he regrets his decision to change roles, for he does appear to have a deep affinity with the club.

OK, I’ll have to stand corrected as I didn’t attend the Rodriguez match.

I don't think anything could be worse than Gerry Sharpe against Middlesbrough - the crack as he broke his leg could probably be heard in Greville Smyth Park.

I have read the book a few times over the years, and I still chuckle (or find myself frustrated ) when I read or hear something that reminds me of one of the chaotic (and unfeasible) situations in which he found himself.

Good response. On a totally different subject, and in reference to your username, I wonder how many on here have read the book.

Actually, I was going to copy/paste the BL article on this thread as I thought Wael’s thoughts were very good and well written. Interesting, as you suggest, although I question whether asking for a percentage of any transfer fee is or would be a goer - quite ridiculous to be fair, although I understand the sentiment.

All of which gives me a mental image of Alex Scott breastfeeding me, but that is probably for another thread or site even .

Congratulations on introducing an equestrian term in the middle of Cheltenham Week .

I don't think anybody is disputing the highlighted section of your post, and neither should they be. I believe that the problem is that BT appears ill-equipped and totally unsuited to his current role, which requires communication and presentatation skills that, unfortunately, he appears manifestly to be lacking.

Are you quite sure about that? Marvin Rees @MarvinJRees · Follow City Hall is lit up red tonight to celebrate @bristolcitywfc: @BarclaysWC champions Congratulations on your promotion back to the @BarclaysWSL

I don't think so.

Yes, I know what you mean. This was always one of my favourites back then. As was this one.

I have seen this in several bakers, and was once witness to a particularly irate woman (on her mobile phone at the time), who complained that other clients were being served before her.
