There was quite a lot of emotion
Hastings go three-up in double-quick time and then hang on to beat Beckenham 3-2

I have completed the 'Survival' level of Icelandic Online.
This means, should I be stuck in Reykjavik, I could tell someone that my coffee machine is broken and that I would like more red wine.
I think the makers of Icelandic Online really get my priorities TBH.

Hey, I wonder why so many people (relatively) are watching this stream of a Greenland airport
Oh ...

There was rain, there was Bovril, there was only one goal in amongst a lot of effort across the pitch and a fair few flashes of drama. Plenty of fun at Eastbourne Borough v Hastings United even if the game went, as expected to Borough.

I genuinely find it staggering that I put up some silly words and some not-great photos after a match and then literally *more people than were at the game* click on to read and look over.
I will never stop being surprised.
Here's one from 2008. ISO 800 beyond the camera's tech.
