As any fule kno, only the doctor puts his hat on the bed when he visits the patient. So if you are not the doctor and you put the hat on the bed, you or the bed-user will get sick and require the services of a doctor. When I was a kid doctors still made house calls so it’s a thing.

... and your point is?

Came here to say this. At best, middle-aged. Expected to see Mr Magoo get his glasses crushed.

Before you criticise someone you should always walk a mile in their shoes. That way you will be a mile away and they have no shoes

But he’s also dead in the TV show,brought back to life by Red priest magic, or did you miss that?

Ex Davos isn’t one of the seven. It’s Thormund. He’s toast.

Decisions in sports should be decided on the players on the field. They should have a playoff game to decide

I have a vague memory of Muhammad Ali on TV making my Dad crazy. My first specific event would have to be 17 October 1973: I was ten and it was the first sports event I saw live in the stadium . It was a World Cup qualifier at Wembley when Poland beat England 1-1. That game propelled Poland to 3rd place in the finals…

Ok, so for big money sports, go back to amateurs only. I mean who can remember, among soccer fans, who won the Olympics? Guys who can list every goalscorer in every World Cup Final since 1930 don’t give a rat’s ass about the gold medal unless it’s their country. Some competitors give it all they’ve got no matter the…

Pesky auto correct. You just need to miss one of the damned things and burn yourself.
