The thoughts of Michael Cadwallader. Coffee loving, history book reading, Cheshire man.
Last month, I had £20 in my pocket and went into the bookies. Weighing up the odds for the World Cup, I decided to have a punt on Argentina. Now I could have gambled all my money there and then, but instead I thought 'why not put a fiver on the Argies and keep the rest'.

You cannot have a proud and chivalrous spirit if your conduct is mean and paltry; for whatever a man's actions are, such must be his spirit. .
Demosthenes
Men are nearly always willing to believe what they wish.
Julius Caesar
The heart is great which shows moderation in the midst of prosperity.
Seneca
If you keep thinking about what you want to do or what you hope will happen, you don't do it, and it won't happen..
ErasmusThere are times when fear is good. It must keep its watchful place at the heart's controls.

Michael,
It's early days yet...
And I seem to remember you had something to say about Scots not supporting England...at the World Cup...
True, but they do look very tasty!
As for the Scots, well that was a cut and paste job, which I thought was hilarious.
However, I don't actually believe it is true. I'd imagine that a large percentage of Scots do actually want England to win. And an even large percentage will be like the Scot's I know; they want England to do well, but not too well, or they won't here about anything else for the next forty years!
Mihael.
Of course it's not true; but the drivelling ninnies of the Scottish Parliament must find some way of occupying themselves, one supposes.
