In undated, I nun dated... whatever the word is for "desperately

something a bit more interesting."
BTW Donal seems to think that he can wind me up with idle chat about

When I was in France recently, they had a whole channel devoted to
old games. They also had a channel devoted to contemporary games.
Switching back and forth, I found clear evidence that contemporary
players are faster, stronger, more agile. How short were Cruyff's
shorts! And yet he brought poetry to the game. Those of us who care

Your Feet You Stupid Sod, round the back, just ask for Bobby.
