[HUGH]

WEDNESDAY NIGHT,

KEN,

I LIKE THE ONES ABOUT THE PIPER CUB AND THE HELICOPTER - VERY DROLL.

IT'S HUMID AND VERY WARM HERE. WE HAD A THUNDERSTORM THE OTHER NIGHT, BUT THE RAIN DIDN'T COME TO MUCH.  I DON'T LIKE TOO MUCH SUN.  I HAD SUNSTROKE IN COLOMBO ONE DAY WHILE WORKING ON THE MOTOR LIFEBOAT ENGINE.  I WAS WEARING A CAP, BUT NOTHING ON MY NECK.  24 HOURS LYING DOWN IN THE DARK WAS PRESCRIBED BY THE MATE.  EVER SINCE I'VE COVERED MY NECK.

READING ALL THE HOO HAH ABOUT THE EXIT OF ENGLAND FROM THE WORLD CUP I THINK ON THE WAGES THESE PEOPLE GET AND WHAT THE LIKES OF STANLEY MATTHEWS GOT.  DURING WW2, WHEN MOVEMENT WAS RESTRICTED, I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF WATCHING BOTH STANLEY MATTHEWS AND TOMMY LAWTON PLAYING FOR GREENOCK MORTON.  IN THOSE DAYS FOOTBALL WAS FLUID AND EXCITING - A WINGER COULD RUN 50 YARDS WITHOUT BEING CRIPPLED.  AND NOBODY HAD ANY INTEREST IN THEIR WIVES -  FOOTBALLERS WERE HEROES, NOT CELEBRITIES.

ANDY MURRAY IS THROUGH TO THE WIMBLEDON SEMIS, BUT HE PLAYS NADAL.  CAN HE WIN?  OF COURSE HE CAN.  WILL HE WIN?  PROBABLY NOT.

REGARDS,

HUGH.
