Wild is certainly, unexpectedly, the word in this case. Banville is an absolute master of prose composition; his capacity to present elaborate lexical flexes in minutely precise prose is unparalleled. But there's a sense that something has broken apart here, plot-wise. In a good way, hatching. Wild.

Well we did use it to watch C4 Italian fitba in the early 90s. Otherwise mostly Sega Megadrive...

My brother rescued a portable TV from a skip once, looked very like that.

Ha ha. Very appropriate

This is as good as it gets.

Man perfectionism is a curse

Worse ways for a prediction to go wrong tbf

Scored what looked like the 3-2 winner on about 89 mins then they scored twice in injury time to make it 3-4, so your prediction wasn't far wrong

2-1 down at half-time, all to play for & no even raining 💪

I have indeed 😅. But predicting results at this level is a whole other level of crystal ball gazing anyway 🤪

Forgot to say @pjdlondonscot.bsky.social we had the annual exchange with Orient last weekend, 5 of them up from London in the Woodside with us before & after the game #LOFC

Definitely nil nil now then 😉

Generally prefer the wireless tbh, unless it's a Friday night with a few tins sort of thing. Otherwise I get fuck all done 🤷‍♂️

Aye pretty much the same deal as the Orient app, except you need to listen through the website, that's what I'm on atm

All these Tuesday night games are a pain in the arse, just not feasible (for me) to get there after returning from missionary work in Ayrshire. Finally sorted out how to transfer my season ticket through FanBase though 🏆
