The England Team and the Havana Cigar
We do not take the Sun newspaper; we are Telegraph readers and, as you will know as a regular reader of this blog, we often feature bits and pieces that we find of interest. I have been told however, that today we are featuring a banner headline from the Sun. This feature will tell you many things I know about the composition of my household from a psychological point of view, but mostly it will tell you that we have a closet Sun admirer and reader in our ranks. It could only be one person couldn’t it? Yes of course my scribe.
Yesterday’s banner headline, for those of you who were not fortunate enough to read it on the news stand at Morrison’s, stated; ‘Sunny outlook in many areas but depression over Heathrow as shower drifts in from South Africa.’ Today we notice, (they have her interest for sure, because she is Googling them now and has added them to her favourites bar), the Sun is aiming their penalty kicks in much the same area; today’s headline states ‘Are you Havana Laugh,’ and shows interesting pictures of the England team enjoying a post drubbing, ‘boozy party’ (the Sun’s words of course, not mine) they all look to be having a very good time, a cigar is featured. We are not sure how it can be ascertained from the photo if this is infact a world famous Havana. We must however bow to superior knowledge. Check it out don’t take my word for it, it looked to be some party from the empty glasses on the table.
All this is very interesting, it masks the fact that life is slipping back to normal after our journeys, in the ‘Grock,’ (the new caravan) which I have to say is a vast improvement on the nylon house, I loved it. For once it did not ‘rain on our Parade’ and we all enjoyed the Lake District in back to back sunshine. This has to be a first. Has anyone else ever been to the Lakes when it has not rained? The sun shines on the righteous it is said, they must be good persons this year.
We await with interest the Sun newspaper headlines tomorrow, I know you will think this is treachery from our point of view, but for now we are content in admitting that we are, newspaper wise, ‘running with the fox and hunting with the hounds,’ for the persons at the Sun truly make us laugh and laughter is the best remedy for just about everything and everybody; even disappointed footy fans.
I am of course
