Falcon goes Nap
Falcon 5 Heardle 2
Original (7 secs) 60's (3 secs) 70's (2 secs) 00's (6 secs) Alt 00's (1 sec)

Excellent finishing from the Falcon, bagging a couple of easy chances late on.

Falcon hammered
Falcon 1 Heardle 5
60's (2 secs)
Match analysis
Could have been worse, but today's first effort from Heardle was ruled invalid for irrelevant foul-mouthed awfulness in the intro. Still falcon was on the wrong end of a 5-1 hammering, and the only takeable chance on the 80's was missed with a wrong shot selection.

Meanwhile in other Chez falcon wordle-ing a got it in one on today's Original Wordle.

That was the easiest one for ages. Bought her first CD from her own website in Oz, before she moved to the US.
She wrote all the songs and music, played all the instruments when she recorded the album in her dad's basement studio.
Left school at 14 to be a musician.
That track is not a very good example, too 'pop' and commercial.
She was, maybe still is, frontman for PRS.
And she is pretty.
And an excellent guitarist, singer not so much.

Two interesting asides on an episode of the Antiques Roadshow as they visited bits of Lancashire. In a Blue Rolls Royce Corniche Convertible.

What do Ditchburn of Lytham St Anne’s do, and what exciting project is due to open in 2023. :?:

They also visited Accrington, famous of course for its bricks
Name two iconic landmark buildings which had Accrington bricks in their foundations. :?:

The answer could well be in the FCF :!:
