Bruegel the Elder

An interesting piece of irrelevant trivia. Why am I not surprised that it was assembled by an Illogan associate rather than say, Wendron, Perranwell or Redruth?!

Planning to start a bit of divot filling from boxing day tomorrow...yes..boxing day if the wind dies down at last!
And time to plug a few early weeds out at the same time, I'm going to go easier on the selective weedkiller in future as I do not like what I'm reading about the decreasing  number of bees that this stuff kills!
When I do use it I will be spraying before they flower or remove the flower heads by mowing a few days before use with the mower.  Do not spray for a few days after cutting to let the tillers seal on the ends.
Time to consider the wildlife methinks.

Hi Keith, Am back. They’ve done the urgent work, although left a few dents in the bodywork! Now I have to book in after Easter for a full service! Hope you are all well. I see the Forum is much busier now that there are subjects to discuss. It’s nice to come on and find lots of posts to read, much better than coming on day after day with nothing but the odd item from the usual suspects. Mind you, usual suspects, it would have been an even less interesting lockdown without you! 

WHAT? You have to book in? And they expect me to hand in my cloak of invisibility? What is the world coming to? They’ll be expecting us to stop playing inter-ward football next.
Incidentally, in the last match the maternity unit beat us 40 - 0! (It wasn’t fair they had at least two extra little feet each as well!)

The title says it all, do let us know if you’re successful.

 
 

If the cap fits............!

Thank you for the advice, I’ve sent them my homing pigeon so I’ll be first to know!

With social distancing and no football training, it would be interesting to know what their keep fit programme involves

If you know how the Combo League is run you should hear in August via fax.

Well Isaac, that should take up more than enough time to take us to the end of the “season” and beyond. A very smart idea!

Hey Bruegel, get well soon buddy.
Unfortunately hospitals are a waiting game...tell me about it!
Busy, busy people. 

Agreed Keith, shows a killer instinct I don’t have, I’d have stopped the scoring at half that number, or at least let them walk one in!
Am playing the waiting game here, I wish they’d just get on with it, probably waiting ‘till I’m match fit!

Part of the learning curve 100%, they gave it a try then and watched it drain reserves and so know that they can’t afford to do it again now. It’s a shame but better to lose a few games of football now, than a few teams into liquidation by over-stretching!

Hmmm, the stats may well be impressive but surely meaningless as a game of football, a bit like my grandson’s nursery playing Liverpool; pointless (unless it’s three for a win!).

Hold the tournament over 3 weeks in late May/ early June. Opening ceremony at the Eden Project, matches held covering all the areas in Cornwall ( What about Mousehole, Falmouth, Liskeard, Launceston, Newquay and St Blazey with a final in the new Truro/Stadium 4 Cornwall/whatever it's called ground), get the Cornish public behind it with a big media blitz (have Nigel Martyn, Martin Gritton and Kevin Miller involved in the publicity with a few Cornish based celebrities) and make sure you have a strong Kernow squad that could win the thing (imagine a few thousand waving flags and belting out Trelawney's Army in the final). Bring it on!

It’s OK Keith, I too am of the Union code. At school they didn’t approve of Soccer, so it was being beaten to a pulp (I was only a scrawny little runt) once a week on the rugger pitch, I learnt very quickly to get rid of the ball fast. My son played for the Navy, despite having his teeth rearranged while playing at school!

I'm a big fan of the CONIFA events. Went to a few games a couple of years ago, including the final, and was impressed with the standard of football and atmosphere (especially the large and very noisy contingent of Turkish Cypriots in the final at Enfield). Think it would be a great competition for Cornwall to host at some stage.

The most difficult job i ever had was selling Doors, door to door. It was slightly harder than selling hearing aids door to door!!! I also had a job as a set designer but i got sacked on my first day. I left without making a scene. My current boss has stated that he is going to sack the person with the worst posture in the firm. I have a hunch it maybe me!!

I thought that I’d share this offering from the letters page in The Times today:
A woman walked into a bar and asked for a double entendre, so the barman gave her one!

I think we went in 6th seed if remember right. 
The games can be viewed on Mycujoo.tv which is free. Unsure on radio and other platforms but will find out.
Some great teams in competition, a couple of games may be one sided but the rest tight with some good football played

Na, it wouldn't turn up....
