Grey

It wasn't as cold overnight, nor as bright and blue this morning. It was grey and cool, but this is just fine for a morning of football.

The Gorse Fox climbed in the car, plugged in his audiobook and pottered across to Worthing. We had a good turnout and even teams of 6-a-side. In the first hour, the Gorse Fox played for the red-bibs, but for some reason kept thinking he was playing in blue. A couple of times he played some telling passes to the opposition, thinking they were his team. Never mind, he eventually snapped out of it. We lost the first game, drew the second game, and won the third game (with a goal from the Gorse Fox).

In the second hour, we re-arranged into 5-a-side teams. This time the Gorse Fox was playing in blue. The pitch was beginning to seem a lot larger in this second hour. We managed to win the first game, lose the second, and then win the final game. The Gorse Fox had covered just under 10 kilometres and, as he writes this, his legs are protesting at the abuse. Never mind. He has to build his stamina back up bit by bit, and today was a good push.

So it appears we may be about to have another election. The thorny question appears to be regrading whether EU citizens and 16-year-olds should be part of the electorate. The Gorse Fox believes that they should not. The 16-year-olds will just parrot the electoral bias of their teachers (not parents), and we have seen how the drip-drip of left-wing dogma has been leeching into education. As for EU Citizens, the Gorse Fox has now issue if they have the right of residence and intention to stay here; otherwise, it is just trying to load results.
