Wales v Deutschland

All talk at the station has been of the big match at the Millenium stadium on Saturday night. Fireman Flynn reckons the lads might get a draw, but most of us will be happy to avoid defeat. In deference to Fireman Muller, we have used a picture of a typical German fan. As you know, we do not like to pander to common stereotypes here.

Some of Bellamy's passes also manage to miss defeat.

We have placed Fireman Muller in an exclusion zone until Sunday's shift. He claims this is contrary to the European Human Rights Convention. I showed him an article in an old Readers Digest about internment on the Isle of Man and he seemed content.

Update:

There was a bit of a shock in the rugby. At least the boys turned it around. The football result was not unexpected. Fortunately, FT and some of the lads were able to watch the game at the Max Boyce Arms. We left Fireman Muller in charge of the station. We had a whipround to buy an FM radio from the local Barnados. Not sure if there were any batteries. Anyway we're hoping he'll be on a different shift next week. At least I'm off for a couple of days.

Mrs FT took yours truly to the shops today to get him kitted out for a relative's funeral next week. I am looking forward to it immensely. Been practising my dance moves for the after service do. Got some good shapes going on.

Today's random philosophical dribble:

If you cross Pavarotti with a mythical monster and a window, do you get a Loch Nessun Dorma?

Top tip: when your house is on fire do not wear BOSE Series X Noise Cancellation headphones as the scientifically tested acoustic enhancer will prevent you hearing the smoke alarm.

Anyway, have a great all singing, non-singeing day!
