Cheltenham 2 up now
The scorer was Andy Williams.
The commentatorβs comment, Andy Williams scored, is this to good to be true?

Cheltenham did beat Forest Green Rovers 2-1 It's the first time Cheltenham has beaten since FGR were promoted to League 2. Cheltenham back into 3rd place.

You certainly could do serious damage
Some time ago I watched a 1958 film called "Rooney". Set in Dublin, though not with Irish leads. About a rubbish collector who plays hurling at weekends. There's a bit of hurling seen during the film but not a lot. Film is watchable but nothing exceptional. The film is available on Youtube if you really want to watch it.

Hi El
I noticed the time on your post is 1/11/2020 @ 9-45. How can that be?
Moonie, similar gusts forecast here but during this evening and tonight rather than during the daytime. So gales rather than storms.

That's due to the States changing their clocks (when their daylight saving time ended this morning). That hour difference happens for any posts made in the hour of change, So my post would have been made at 8.45 but gets shown as 9.45. I think that only applies to posts made at our 8.00 to 8.59 am. Quite often I'm the only person posting at that time.
In the States their DST starts on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November.

Ah, right, thanks El
I just noticed something, in the last re-shuffle did all the threads lose their likes? You'll probably know the answer EL, what a shame if that happened.

Squiggle, I'm not aware that threads have lost their likes. Can you post a link to one you think has. The icon of 3 small circles with lines making it look like a < Copy link to reply at the bottom right of each post. Click that and then paste into your reply box.
Well all of them EL. Perhaps they went a while ago and I'm just unobservant. The Buddies thread used to have 16 likes for the thread not individual posts and I was rather fond of that as some of them were from people who are no longer with us.

Squiggle, there was a change when the forum moved from version 1 to 2 back in June. What happened was that likes which had been made on the thread (rather than replies) were shown as hearts on the very first post, the one you made back in 2010.
https://www.gagajoyjoy.com/topic/169745744989931261
You will see 15 hearts and you see all the people who had liked this thread if you go over the heart symbol there.
If you look at the Big Brother list of topics, you will see that the third entry for this thread is a heart from Velvet. A quirk of this site is that if a thread has been liked, the third entry shows the like made by the first person shown on the list of those who have liked it.
Evening all
Horrible day weather wise - rain and wind all day.
Iβve been awake since 2.30am so Iβm going to watch the Strictly results show then Iβm having an early night.
Hope youβve all had a good day

Good morning everyone it's relatively calm this morning after a very stormy weekend. Thanks for the explanation EL. I hope you slept better last night Yogi.
Enjoy your day everyone
Good morning everyone
Forecast to have some showers here and rather breezy but nothing too bad, I hope the weather for all of us is better than the weekend
Yogi, I hope you caught up with your sleep last night
Thanks Squiggle
I hope everyone has a good day
Good morning everyone
A sunny but breezy start to the day. The forecast is for sunshine and showers. Shopping done. Washing in the washer
Thatβs me sorted for now
*wonders if Moonieβs mallet worked on Yogi?
Have a great day everyone
How to you pronounce the word croquette (the food) ?
I pronounce it as crow - kett
I noticed that my brother pronounces it as crock - ett

I would use your version

Let's see what the others think
It's quite possible that my mother pronounced croquette in the same way as my brother. My parents did pronounce a few words in a different way to most people. They insisted on pronouncing the word asssume as a-zoom much as the sume in presume is. Azoom. azoomed, azumption.

Indeed, yes
Apparently this is how assume is pronounced in India when speaking English,
