Mrs Blog is a Footie Fan

Following the sad passing of the football legend, Pele, Mrs Blog questioned my assertion that he was the only player to have won three world cups. 

"What about the other one? Whatsisname... the one who used his hand... Armadillo ?"

Advert Algorithm Attacks

Several years ago I began to fall victim to a rather unpleasant advertising algorithm

It clearly knew I had retired early and was therefore of a "certain age" - it pestered me with adverts for incontinence solutions.

Recently it has upped its game - myriad clips of warden assisted apartments.

Then yesterday, it knew something I didn't. I became alarmed. Why do I need to see adverts for "Caring Cremations"?

Language learning No1

This is likely to be a recurring theme of blog posts - it has been road-tested on the Sussex-blog-boys and met their high standards.

During lockdown I decided to learn a little Polish. Being tight-fisted I turned to the free app - Duolingo. (Being a free app, it isn't hampered by the inconvenience or cost of someone checking the content so it provided some interesting phrases to be translated).

"When I was cleaning your bedroom I found a knife"

Makes you wonder about holidays in Kracow...more on this shortly!
