Why didn't I like them? Can't recall much now. I just had a strong urge to remove all their music off my itunes. Maybe they don't suit stadium venues?

I used to like Pet Shop Boys until I saw them live. They were the Opening Act to Take That about ten years ago at Wembley Stadium, lol. Put me right off their music.

Croatia 1 - 2 Morocco 3 yellow cards.

Casual mention that Janey Godley's cancer is back and has said her current tour could be her last.

He's my MP. Can confirm. There is a reason local residents call him Absent Adam. Not had anything through the post though about elections coming up (I vote by post).

I do think that referee had a bias or must have had a talking to about giving out too many yellow cards after his colleague gave out 18.

Argentina 1-1 Croatia 5 yellows.

I think the manager is annoyed by Ronaldo for some reason and was teaching him a lesson. However, I was expecting him to be back for this game.

It depends what type of cancer. Shannen Doherty has had stage 4 breast cancer for the last six years. She's even gone back to acting.

I actually like that song and so you'd be pissing me off as well, lol. You can put it down to me being ill right now (I had to leave my work xmas dinner early) and I was using my phone and I needed to do an easy hit. I'm having trouble with these selections because I actually love the majority of them. Kate Bush gets my heart though because of my dad's love for her.

Morocco 1- 3 Portugal England 2-2 France 4 yellows.
