Sorry Peter, but you did have the option of an isle seat and you can fidget monstrously. Still, was able to distract myself with Kieslowski's finest Trois couleurs Bleu - Juliette Binoche, sigh... must learn more French - have been v lazy with lessons of late. Steven was gently mocking by pretending to speak French and hopping from one foot to the other when we landed. Steven is v dull.</p> <p>Rather forgot myself on the pitch this week and may have uttered a few expletives. Will not be repeating here I assure you! Always mortified by myself on the pitch at times like these, should learn to resist the urges to be quite so vocal but must admit I do enjoy the sudden release that accompanies a string a vulgarities. Also bad language does wind 'Aloysius' up wonderfully, and so is always worth expelling. Aloysius is a man lacking both a sense of humour and any semblance of a personality. Swearing makes us British, or English if you will, it is a guilty badge of pride. How time have changed!</p> <p>Reading up on the form and thinking that a few guineas on the Germans would be a wise move - not gambling myself of course (except for Bridge which is going v well so far - £50 up I believe!) but you may take this tip yourself and make of it what you will.</p> <p>Must dash! </p>
