MY POWERCUT EXPERIENCE AT HOLSWORTHY ,DEVON.
On the 5.-06-2017 around 12.15 midnight my wifes hospital alarm awoke us we found the house and outside in complete darkness which at first give me a fright due to just woke up.We then went on to have multiply mini power cuts and had to put on reserve candles and torch to hand ,we did all back to sleep.
WRONG
Terrorism is wrong in whatever name it is given as innocents suffer and nothing is resolved.In a way it is a form of bullying to make us live in fear and hatred fro groups of people involved ,yes be sense able but keep going as it the right thing to do.
TURN TO PRAY
I always like the fact how people mostly knock region whatever your faith or belief maybe.But in times of trouble or personal problems like in my own case at moment of grief we turn to pray.Pray is a way too find comfort and empowering yourself to help your state of mind.
England beat Venezuela 1-0 in the Under-20 World Cup final.
Yes it has finally happened in my lifetime ENGLAND have won a world cup in football ,the under 20 world cup 2017 making it the second greatest success in world football since 1966 .
England won their biggest international title since 1966 by beating Venezuela 1-0 in the Under-20 World Cup final.
It was England's first appearance in the final of a global tournament since their World Cup victory 51 years ago.
Everton forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin's first-half goal was enough for victory thanks to Newcastle goalkeeper Freddie Woodman's second-half penalty save.
Woodman denied Adalberto Penaranda from the spot after the Malaga forward was fouled by Kyle Walker-Peters.
- Can England dare to dream after Under-20 success?
- Who are the England Under-20 squad and how much have they played?
With 17 minutes to play, the referee pointed to the spot to signal a penalty before immediately referring to the video assistant referee.
The decision stood - there was the slightest of contacts - but Newcastle keeper Woodman's strong palm kept out Penaranda's effort.
In the first half Ronaldo Lucena hit the post with an audacious long-range free-kick that had Woodman well beaten, while Tottenham midfielder Josh Onomah saw a powerful effort strike the underside of the Venezuela bar after the break.
After the match, England forward Dominic Solanke, due to join Liverpool from Chelsea on 1 July, was awarded the Golden Ball given to the player of the tournament. Previous winners of the award include Diego Maradona, Lionel Messi, Luis Figo, Paul Pogba and Sergio Aguero.
Woodman was awarded the Golden Glove, given to best goalkeeper of the tournament.-read more and see video highlights of game

Dogs and wolves share sense of fair play
The sense of fair play is an important human trait, but new research suggests that it's a key behaviour for dogs and wolves as well.
In tests, if one animal was given a more substantial reward when performing a task, the other one downed tools completely.
It had been felt that this aversion to unfairness was something that dogs had learned from humans.
But the tests with wolves suggest that this predates domestication of dogs.
Scientists have long recognised that what they term a "sensitivity to inequity", or a sense of fairness, played an important role in the evolution of co-operation between humans. Basically, if others treated you badly, you quickly learned to stop working -read more
