Very sad - extremely talented lady and she came over as a really nice person. RIP and condolences to her family and friends

 

**** cancer. Rest in Peace Sabine

 

Wimbledon will only be making tickets available to online this year on a first come first served basis. No ballot and no queue/ticket resale. It's going to be a massive free for all when tickets go online!

 

Personally I think it's risky planning anything...having 3 holidays, 1 day trip and 2 theatre tickets cancelled....with the subsequent hassle of recovering the money...I am planning nothing and certainly not till next year. Why people are stressing themselves out by trying to second-guess Covid is beyond me.

 

The 2 holidays we had to cancel last year we just deferred them to this year, and I think both will go ahead.
The holiday we should have been on this week, we decided to get a refund and FairPlay to TUI we had the money back within 3 days.

 

New series of Drive To Survive, covering the 2020 season, out today on Netflix.

 

and why people can’t bear to go without for maybe a second year, is beyond me too. It’s not ideal, but some patience needed

We have last years deferred Greece trip booked for September. If it looks dodgy I’ll happily defer again.

We really need though to get things back on track as we need see our daughter soon, been 2 years and the grandkids have aged from 1 & 3 to 3 & 5. We’ll never get those years back.

They probably think granddad and nana are just 7 inch people on a phone screen.

 

Don't know if mentioned, but unsurprisingly there will be no foreign visitors allowed for the Olympics.

 

I swear England have the worst discipline in world rugby these days.

 

I just have to wonder if anyone in the English team can actually think on their feet when they’re playing these days? It seems to me that they come out with a tactical plan but they can’t change it if things don’t work out. They keep box kicking even though they’re losing out on the kick chase. It’s awful - Ireland must be laughing .....

 

Red card for Ireland...

 

Correct decision, but too late for England, who ended without a recognised fly-half or number 8 due to HIAs .....

 

My day just keeps getting better! I put a fiver on France at 12/1 when they were 10 points down!

 

Incredible game. Well done France!

 

Best game of the 6 Nations this year ....... why, oh why, can’t England play with that intensity? We have the players, so I have to wonder about the coaching - I think Eddie has taken any spontaneity away from the players. They seem to have to follow a plan regardless ........
