The away supporters were banned from buying tickets to avoid possible trouble. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/10/2/127-killed-after-stampede-at-indonesia-football-match

Firstly, this is not a new printer I'm trying to connect for the first time. It has been working perfectly well for quite a few years. But the last two times I've needed to print something I've not been able to. When I turn the printer on certain buttons have flashing lights which become solid when ready. But the button that shows Wi-fi has connected either has no light at all or constantly flashes but never goes solid. Normaly it would flash about 10 times only. The wi-fi is working as this laptop and a few phones all connect ok. HP's help tools are not much help as they can't find the printer due to no connection. Bit of a catch-22 situation. Only thing I can think is to unplug the router and start it again.

I've had my nephews kids here all day, so I had the Cbeebies tv channel on. One of the programmes is called Bing. Starring Bing the bunny rabbit and Pondo the panda. In todays episode Pondo has a new skateboard and he lets Bing have a go, but Bing falls off. At the end of the programme Bing recaps the show. This is what he said. "Today Pondo had a new skateboard and he let me have a go. You have to bend your knees, hold your arms out and push with one foot. When I started to go down the hill I got scared and falled off" I was like, it's fell off not falled. You're teaching kids wrong English. Next week the story of the Three Blind Mouses.
