Thanks guys.

She got a solid sleep and no more fluid ejections were had. She's just complaining of a headache now which is understandable. The job today is trying to convince her to eat something, she is a bit gun shy about food now.

They played well i had a bet on them when they are 0-1 down 16-1 wahooo . when they equalised they were still way too much money at 9-2 . They out played Belgium fair and square and the better side won.

Re: 400kmph

I would give it a go( not on a bridge though).
