Yes Strachan seems a good analyst.
Hope you're doing better on the AC cup? How long does it go on for?
Still got a couple of weeks to go. We won Slushie Slinger yesterday. It's a start. I hate that game...
Not bad 
slushie slinger sounds messy lol
It looks way too complicated that slushie game 
Well done... you are slow starters after all! 
G.O.T. wow just wow...
I always liked Varys
That we are... but we actually have the best record in that slushie game.
I was a little underwhelmed. I have a weird trust in Varys, and I did enjoy his "oh what has he done now?" face.
*Nods* his face was a picture lol 
Are they quite far through the books now?
Yes.. I think a book and a half left (of what's written...). I would say Arya and Tyrion have the most interesting stories coming up... as well as some people I can't mention.
Excellent
Apparently Lena Headley [Cersei actress] is hinting that a character called Stoneheart is coming? 
Think I have found a team to support at the WC - Mexico. They were disallowed two goals in their first match, and then held Brazil to a draw in their second. Yay for underdogs!
Yes... *doesn't want to say too much* Part of my disappointment with the finale was all that hinting coming to nothing. That'll be better for you if you try to forget about it until it happens.
What did you think of the children? Not what I was expecting them to look like.
I can tell you the 4 word summation of Bran's storyline now. "Bran finds a tree."
I haven't seen a full match since Sunday. 
Ah ok.
Didn't see much of the children... thought they looked like something out of Peter Pan. What were you expecting yourself?
I always picture them less human looking. She looked a little too much like Tinkerbell in Once Upon a Time for me.
Yes, tinkerbell... that's who I meant but couldn't remember the name, ta
Read that the G.O.T. producers don't think much of living in N.I. for half the year - describing it as not the most cosmopolitan place in the world 
They got a multi-million grant to shoot it there - they shouldn't complain.
She also did look a lot like Rose McIver.
Dudes?! You aren't there for cosmopolitan malarkey! You are there for ruggedly handsome scenery! *serious nod*
All my shows are off at present... do you still have Mad Men?
Sadly no, it was only a half season - the final 7 episodes are next year.
There's BB but its quite depressing... its the nastiest bunch theres ever been.
Ah.. mid-season hiatuses are the worst. Confuse me. *nods*
So, I'm hearing... Big Bro not helping matters either.
How've you been keeping?
Ooops sorry - didn't see you'd replied. Doing ok-ish thanks. Have had trouble with my care since I told them I was going to complain - visits cancelled and increasingly hard to get through on the phone. Can't even put in a complaint as I'm still waiting for my full notes, a year after applying.
I'm allright really... just grumpy. I have an advocate, so hopefully she'll help once the notes come back.
And there's World Cup and Wimbledon to watch... so alls well in the telly world.
How are you keeping?
Grumpy is understandable. *nods* There should be a way you could complain/kick up a stink without your notes. Where's Esther Ranzten when you need her?!
Yes, I came home and the England/Costa Rica match is on... Still not had an explanation of why we aren't watching the match that has Pirlo in it.
I'm ok... tomorrow between 1 and 2 pm my summer holidays start... and, as you know, I'm easily pleased about such things.
Sorry for the moan up. Things are ok really... its just grumbliness.
Yay for hols! bet you can't wait...
Uh-oh... Italy
Moaning is allowed. They have been prats. They are continuing to be prats. You need to vent. *nods*
Yes, even more annoyed now that I didn't see Pirlo and Gigi's last match of this world cup (cryogenically freeze them for 4 years? That'd work right?).
I am on holidays. I don't have to go into my cleaning... yay! *prepares a 6 week or so slob*
Yay! Enjoy enjoy enjoy! 
Sorry about Italy Saw bits of it... maybe not the way you'd want to remember them? They'd a man sent off for a horrible mid shin tackle. Potential leg-breaker... then things got worse... with the Chewy Luis incident.
Pirlo can retire with pride - to his vineyard [ yes he has one! ]. I imagine him swirling his wineglass in contemplation and being cool forever...
The match did sound horrendous. *nods* Especially that tackle.
The Suarez thing was, unfortunately, to be expected... He'll never learn and needs a decent punishment for a change.
Ah yes... Before the Italy/England match, pictures of Pirlo looking relaxed and cool (and vineyardy) flooded my twitter timeline. It was appreciated.
Hope you're enjoying your hols!
So far, I've crawled out of bed and taken fishcakes out the freezer... then logged on here... it's not been exciting. Just the way I like it. 
Niiiiiiice!
Indeed.
Baked a betty crocker cake (under orders) and nearing the end of my MST3K in order watch (season 10... the last one... has been started). I got busier. *nods*
Thats a good start to the hols. How did your cake turn out?
I made pancakes... no reason. Just that I'm a pancake monster 
Yeah, it's ok... just think I'd rather a non-carrot cake right now.
Pancakes are good. Always time for pancakes. I can't make them for toffee.
They're the easiest!
Cakes are hard, so well done. Last one I made didn't rise at all, my notorious "rich tea biscuit" cake
uh oh. Wrong flour? No baking powder? Eggs too cold/unbeaten?
I like rich tea biscuits, I would've liked that cake. XD
Too little baking powder and not enough egg - it was tasty though lol.
Hows you be? Getting into Holiday mode yet?
Ah... *nods* as long as it was edible. That's the important thing.
Yes, It's sunny, I have the house to myself for a week, dye (and tinfoil) in my hair and the last slice of cake for breakfast. It's all good.
lol
Maaaan is that all the mischief you're getting up to, now you have the place to youself ?
I'll have you know I defrosted and cleaned the fridge freezer today. During the Brazil/Chile game. I underestimated how many towels I needed to put under and around the basin at the bottom of the freezer... Did you know Vileda mops are crap? *ahem*
I'm not so good at mischief.
lol ... Girl you crazy! Not using enough towels thats living on the edge!
Been pretty wild here too. My plants are yellow and wilty... probably humidity, and the containers not having enough drainage. Gonna have to replant the lot.
Oh dear... I hope they can be perked up.
We haven't had any humidity... I've been wrapped up in a blanket the past two days. Looking brighter today though.
Repotted the plants...*fingers crossed*
Hope it brightens up for you. Have you any more wild antics planned?
*crosses fingers also*
Umm... washing/ironing to be done... Whoohoo... 
Only a day or two of the AC left (yesterday we draw-win-win-win. happy.) and I have three MST3K episodes left... and a Gamera t-shirt set to appear (with the uber exciting game of "will it come to the door or will I need to go to the GPO?")
It's non-stop excitement here. *ahem*
