Why so formal mr G? But thanks. (Erm, you actually said "formal roof" in Swedish).

Bummer, I really wished the Three Lions would win!

We did it again! Yay! Hope is still alive!( Even if the Charlton fan might not be.)

That means both countries are empty. If they aren't actually playing, they will all be friends and family of the teams (tiny states).

I hope it stays quiet - no cheers for Greek goals! 

@john g. We, i.e. Sweden, are playing Greece tonight.

Trouble at Wembley. Hungarian hooligans embarrass themselves. 1-1 at half time. 

Just thinking that countries/states are rather a new concept. Historically. And there are "countries" that are not recognised. Like Kurdistan. I think most or many, are actually not that concerned what state they are citizens of. Look at Europe, borders have changed so many times. The pride of country was a thing around 1880, if I remember rightly. For heavens' sake. People have been migrating for ever. Who to say who belongs where? My ancestors came from Sweden, Norway, Finland and Belgium. That is as far as I know, but who knows where they came from originally? What I mean is: we are all kind of clannish, or most of us. Maybe the actual country we are told we live in doesn't matter that much. Since it may change. Where I live in Sweden, the area used to be part of Norway, but then Norway was taken over by Denmark. And then after wars, it got to be Swedish. So nationality is rather arbitrary. Yes. OK, I've had a couple.Just my two öre.

I read that too, and thought the same! Bless him!

@torThank you for the illustration to my post!

I just hope that there is no one who voted for Brexit to get the foreigners out who is currently on the dole instead of taking a job in e.g. the meat industry ."The Poles are taking our jobs!" Well, I guess that's a positive then : they wanted them out - now they are out.

Now I'm starting to regret I got rid of my more- than- shoulder- length corona hair. My mum always said long hair doesn't become old ladies, maybe I had that in mind when I cut it to two inches below my ears.  It is streaked in light brown, grey and white. @emkay I thought beards would be "chest length", not hair.

Positive or negative, I have no idea. Mostly just confusing. No more GB sticker on car plates, it's being changed to UK. But why?https://www.bbc.com/news/business-58734265

Please stay dear @Techsmex! Strangely enough, you are a voice of sanity around here!
