Ferry works great, just be careful when disemBARKing.

Hoi An yes. Siem Reap too. And I preferred Hanoi to Saigon personally.

Agree, and with an extra dose of regret because they were my tip to win. If they hadn’t won the group game, they’d be in the final I’m sure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Kids, having had mine aged 41 and then 45.

Agreed with everything you say except the last point. France and Belgium are both top teams for this tournament. Just because Argentina and Spain, say, have good tournament histories didn't automatically make them top teams for 2018. For example I tipped Belgium before the whole thing began; to...

It's certainly feasible. Whether it's the real reason is another matter.

A lot of these are great, but I have to confess to also laughing at the final frames of the David Squires strip in the Guardian today…

Good Technology by Red Guitars. A list of all the ways technology is transforming life, with the twist at the end that, ultimately, all it means is we'll just sit around watching TV instead of doing anything. 36 years old now, this song, but still prescient. If they'd predicted Facebook...

This summer will be one people remember for the rest of their lives. The World Cup. The never ending sunshine. These kids will look back on this film in 30 years or more and still remember 2018 as a perfect childhood moment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If Kyle Edmund's playing, The Edmound. If Johanna Konta's playing, Kontamanjero. If Katie Boulter's playing, The Boulterrace.

Me too. And the fact that you could have several hundred crosses in effectively the right place and they'd find some reason to discount them all.

That story can't be true. Because not a single one of the Scots that it includes brings up "fookin' 1966". In my experience, most English fans rarely if ever refer to 1966, whereas all Scots are utterly obsessed with it, banging on and on and on and on about it, in the most blatant example...

Well, duh, yes, because it's colder in the UK. That's a pretty pointless comment really. And conversely they probably would have been able to get out sooner if it was here, as while we might get a flash flood that floods a cave system for a brief period, we don't get a 4-month monsoon season...

Agreed – that length of absolute pitch blackness must have been mentally very tough to cope with, especially for kids. Added to the uncertainty of not knowing if anyone will ever come, or come in time.

Hal Robson-Kanu.

Was his name Hal, and did he steal the kayak from his son?

Rather than one song, I'm going to go for a band whose entire output is instrumentals, and who have taken the genre to places no-one else has: Dirty Three. Sadly there ain't many good live recordings, but here's Some Summers They Drop Like Flies from Whatever You Love, You Are...

Great thanks – that sounds like the answer! Much appreciated. I had considered wifi on a laptop as a last resort, as it's likely to be ropey at best (and seriously lacking in atmosphere!).

Long shot ask – but does anyone know if there's anywhere I can watch the England game at LHR T5 on Thursday night? This is ARRIVALS side, unfortunately not in departures (where I'm sure there'll be bars with TVs etc). I'm on a flight that lands at T5 at 6pm on Thursday, so by the time I'm...
