*        Hello, Mum!

†        Morning, Irene!   I think you meant Anfield, and Goalkeeper, rather than Enfield and Alison Becker?   Still, 8/10 is a good score.

‡        The Yearly Reviews are longer, Debbi!

        Oooh, a subway series … !   I was wondering what a US equivalent of an Old Firm Derby was!
