    @BenCotto the technology may be present and may even be properly used in top professional level football - tho not all pundits think so - but it most certainly isn't in the lower divisions.Ā  Ā There is so much money in football these days that it is open to cheating, fixing and all sorts of bad behaviour on many levels and it is just naive to think technology stops all that.

    There are, I'm sure, many honourable, honest footballers, coaches, managers, agents but there are also plenty of rotten apples who spoil it and that's without including all the atrocious tribalism in certain groups of fans.Ā  A dose of community gardening would do them a power of good.

    I’ve got loads to plant out, can’t even get a trowel in the ground, can’t water with hose here. Ā Longing for rain, they’d better be right with this forecast.Ā 
    I've been watering with gay abandon over here.
    I’d be here all night at least watering my garden.Ā 
    Not if you use a sprinkler?
    Take even longer, I’d never get round the whole lot, the first bit would be dried out. however, a lovely drop of rain now and everything’s doing well.

    For about 4 days last week I pretty much had a sprinkler going all the daylight hours we had.
    It's been raining nice and steadily here, with virtually no wind, which is even better.Ā 
    Perfect gardening rain.

    I can't summon up sympathy for anyone with 13 children on lockdown at the moment. I imagine it is tough when your family comsumes a massive amount of food and resources but maybe having 13 children isn't the best of ideas at any time. If you can't deal with them all when you're at home 24/7 how do you manage normally? Relying on other people and subsidised by the tax payer no doubt.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    It's still raining - all right, I know it's very good for the garden and I'm trying to be patient, but ......……...Ā
