Just watching a bit of the EFL Trophy prior to switching to see the England v Croatia game. The trophy is now sponsored by Jersey Mikes - the US Sub chain. That’s Sub as in the sandwiches that Subway sell for UK readers. Here’s a thread about it.

Another set of ads that baffle me - the ones for Argos which have a bunch of toys coming to life to kidnap members of the public to take them to Argos to convince them that Argos isn’t just for toys. The problem is - nobody ever did think Argos was just for toys. Also - Abduction ? As a USP ??

Just seen Win Win with Peoples Postcode Lottery on ITV. I think this is a new low point for ITV - programming dictated by a profit making gambling company. Set up in direct opposition to the Government sanctioned National Lottery. It’s also god awful TV Won’t watch that again.

The all-child crowd at the Croatia- England game is very cute especially at the pretty little stadium between the mountains and the sea. That cage for the away fans behind the goal looks a bit cruel & unusual though.

Watched the end of Series 2 of Ludwig on BBC iPlayer. Well it’s a bit of a spoiler to reveal that there will be a series 3. Or at least one is planned. I found the series disappointing. Took a long time to get into its stride, and is ultimately just teeing up Series 3. Bummer.

Does anyone know know what the opposite of “bare” is ? In the sense of “bare” meaning “lots of” This is in the dialect known as Roadman, for those not aware. Eg. “Man want bare mayo wit dem chips bred innit !” Would mean you wanted lots of mayonnaise on your chips. But for just a bit ???
