Love the little shout-out to Enzo Maresca in Pep's post-FA Cup comments: "We had chances, but [it’s tough] against Colwill, James and Caicedo. They are so good. Enzo Maresca created a pattern that is really good. In the pockets, with Enzo Fernandez and Cole [Palmer], they are always dangerous."

Okay genealogical linguists: "Drinking will make a man quaff, Quaffing will make a man sing, Singing will make a man laugh, And laughing long life doth bring.” — Thomas D’Urfey   [wondering if D’Urfey is a fancy Norman version of “Duffy”!]

This reminds me of my old-timer insight that I learned a *ton* about publishing while filing (and reading) all the carbon copies of all correspondence. And became a better writer when using a manyal typewriter and *completely* retyping drafts. [contains quote post or other embedded content]
