Well, that's next few weekends of rest, relaxation and rugby sorted out.

Yes, I know that the "bronze final" is missing from the second image. Don't blame me, blame the knockout page on the RWC website.

I see that the Beeb's proof-reader still isn't up to the job:

The characters and incidents portrayed are entirely fictional.

Yup, that's what's displayed in the end credits of Amazon's "The Man in the High Castle". Three seasons in and we've seen plenty of "entirely fictional" characters in this excellent series.

But what about Adolf Hitler? And Eva Braun? And Heinrich Himmler? And J. Edgar Hoover? And Reinhard Heydrich? And George Lincoln Rockwell? And Shunroku Hata? And Joseph Goebbels? And Josef Mengele?

Entirely fictional? I think not.

Young at heart

It was all over the news earlier this week - the NHS online "What's your heart age?" test.

I took it yesterday.

Bearing in mind that I've had a few "health issues" over the previous eight years I expected a result far in excess of my actual age. It was a bit of a shocker to find that my calculated heart age, according to the test, is a tad lower than my actual age!

 

 

I'm due to have my annual Vascular Review tests next week, and when I have the results from those I'll take the Heart Age Test again. Maybe my heart will be even younger later this month!

Take the test yourself - clicking the pic above should take you to the test website.

Bemused - why "Bobsleigh - Women's Two-man" and not "Bobsleigh - Two-woman"?
