Getting old but not past it

I have booked my airline ticket to Tours , courtesy of Ryanair and got a shock when I enquired about the train prices : £181 for a fix travelling time and that is with Senior railcard or £281 flexible time. It also means having to take the underground in London to get to Liverpool station to go to Stansted airport.
I hate going to London and even more so going on the tube so that is out of a question.
I shall take my own car to the airport and save a lot of hassle.

Football. Anyone watching the footie? I haven't seen any but I love all the videos of the Tartan Army, closely followed by the Dutch sideways bouncing loonies, the Vikings are doing a fine job with their rowing. There's one video of a group of Norwegian fans sat on escalor steps rowing their way up!!!! 🤣

I doubt America has seen anything like this. Apparently alcohol sales in Boston, where the Scotland fans are based, are at four times the level for an American national holiday.

I struggle with international football, tbh. I just have no affinity with our national team.

At best, I'll maybe watch last 8 onwards.
