Harry Kane should maybe have tried a David Narey ‘toe-poke’ instead. It worked for Scotland against Brazil in 1982. I’m not a football fan and rarely watch, but some things stick in your mind forever. Jimmy Hill got a lot of stick for the comment for years afterwards.
https://www.bbc.com/sport/av/football/36327548
Unfortunately, it was Scotland’s only goal against Brazil who went on to win 4-1, but we’re used to that! It’s called snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. I dont’t think it was that year, maybe 1998, when I seem to remember being on a train here in the north when the driver or guard announced over the public address system that Scotland had scored a goal against Brazil! Although the train wasn’t busy, there was a muted cheer all round! We lost that one, too, as a result of an own goal!!

#20…….If “getting out of Dodge” has become an internationally recognized idiom denoting a hasty retreat from trouble, I wonder how much is actually known about Dodge City and the history of the Kansas cowtowns, with the likes of Wyatt Earp, Wild Bill Hickock, Doc Holiday,
Bat Masterson and other old west gunslingers.

Tris…..I do wonder about the fashionable attire sold in “OK Clothing” of old Dodge City. 😉
Surprisingly, some of the old western towns like Dodge City did have laws against carrying guns within the city limits. Widely disregarded apparently! By all accounts, the old west was every bit as violent as Hollywood movies would have us believe.
Dodge City is located in southwestern Kansas, some distance away from principal cross-country Interstate highway routes, and I’ve never been there. Changed a lot, but keeping its cowboy history alive for passing tourists who may still remember it as the locale of the long-running TV series “Gunsmoke,” in which fictional US Marshal Matt Dillon told a lot of old west miscreants to get out of Dodge.
BTW……Dodge City was named after nearby Fort Dodge of the US Army. Fort Dodge was named after General Grenville Dodge who established the fort, and after retirement from the US Army, was principal engineer of the Union Pacific Railroad. For the transcontinental railroad route over the Rockies, Dodge found the Wyoming route between Cheyenne and Laramie over Sherman Hill. Grenville Dodge is the guy on the right, at the center of the famous Golden Spike “joining of the tracks” picture, shaking hands with his counterpart, Samuel S. Montague of the Central Pacific Railroad, on the left.

It’s quite some distance from you.
As for OK Clothing, I remember that the UK side in the Scottish referendum, had a slogan that said “Better Together”, which seemed to me a good enough slogan for their cause.
Then someone for no reason I know, decided to change it to UK OK, which was bad on two accounts… first of all, of course, if the best you can brag about your goal is that it’s ‘OK’, maybe you need to think again. You know … “holiday in Paris. It’s OK” ins’t the best advertising you can do.
Secondly though people laughingly read it as U KOK, which was quite insulting and slightly embarrassing.
Oh how we laughed!

Grenville Dodge, after his prominent Civil War service, did what many Civil War generals such as George Custer did, and effectively had a second US Army career in the post-Civil War west, during the era of railroad building and the Indian wars on the plains. After Dodge retired from the army, he joined the Union Pacific Railroad as chief engineer, and had a long career as a railroad executive. He also served one term in Congress.

Finally being able to travel across the mountains and the plains to California in relative speed and comfort had been a dream for decades, so the Golden Spike celebration at Promontory Summit in Utah was well photographed and documented. Several photographers were present that day. That most famous picture was taken by Andrew J. Russell, a former Civil War photographer who was employed by the Union Pacific.
No less than 28 people in the photograph are known by name. The two men leaning out from the locomotives with wine bottles are the two engineers who drove them…….George Booth of Central Pacific’s No. 60 “Jupiter” on the left, and Sam Bradford of Union Pacific’s No. 119 on the right.

LOL Tris……At least one of the Union Pacific executives (the VP I think) was apparently hung over after too much booze the night before at the big UP party in Ogden. 🙂
It was indeed an amazing feat of civil engineering in a relatively short time. Before the railroad, to an American on the East Coast, California might almost as well have been on the moon. Hard to know which was worse…… a 2,000 mile overland trip across plains and mountains west of Kansas City, or a 13,000 mile ocean voyage from eastern ports around South America. Two ocean voyages and a trek through the jungles of the Isthmus of Panama was a much shorter alternative than the voyage around the Horn, but there was that jungle crossing to endure. 🙂

Early this morning the government asked for 2 coal fired power station to be restarted.
They have been off grid for nearly 2 years now.
This afternoon that request was rescinded.
Reason given is that there is plenty of wind generation to cover.
Where I am there is no wind but hundreds of windmills not turning.
Best if luck, government, of bringing on line old coal fired stations at short notice, hope they can get a coal delivery.
