Tuesday Ramble - TV Football - and "stuff"

... watching Benin v Mozambique at the moment - 2-1 to Les Écureuils (The Squirrels) at the mo - aiming for something else later "dans la pub" (probably Spanish).

... something that's been bothering me since they installed fancy-dan departure boards and speakers at Mossley Station - the platform towards Manchester seems to have been named "Platform 1" - at Stalybridge the (main) platform towards Manchester is called "Platform 2" - strange, or is it just me ?

... and just for the hell of it - a list - the Africa Cup of Nations team's nicknames:

Algeria - The Desert Foxes
Angola - The Black Antelopes
Benin - The Squirrels
Burkino Fasso - The Stallions
Cameroon - The Indomitable Lions
Cote d'Ivoire - The Elephants
Egypt - The Pharaohs
Gabon - The Panthers
Ghana - The Black Stars
Malawi - The Flames
Mali - The Eagles
Mozambique - The Mambas
Nigeria - The Super Eagles
Togo - The Hawks
Tunisia - The Eagles of Carthage
Zambia - The Copper Bullets

... what do we have ...

England - The Nearly Men ??
Wales - The Never Men ??
Scotland - The BraveHearts ??
Ireland - The CraicHeads ??
