Not so for CA4PSH. His QRZ page is most excellent. Just look at this beam.
I’ve not worked much again. And the weather has been dull, not BBQ weather at all.

Footy: Stoke lost their first real test against top opposition losing 3 – 0 to Fulham who were by far the better side. We drop to 5 th place. No footy this week as it’s an International break. Stoke City’s next match is at home to Huddersfield in two weeks.
As I write this it’s transfer deadline day. Harry Kane is staying at Spurs who are top of the Premier Division having won 3 out of 3 matches. Arch rivals Arsenal are bottom with no wins and no goal from 3 matches. That’s as good as it gets for Spurs fans.
And of all things Ronaldo has transferred from Juventus back to Manchester United for a fee of about £19M (€22) and will be earning £500,000 (€530000) a week. I hope he pays all his tax.
Cricket: The 4 th Test against India starts at the Kia Oval on Thursday. All square at 1 match each, everything to play for.
