Ladies' Update
The Adjustment Bureau
Our filum of the night and well worth a viewing. The plot from IMDb:
Surely it would have been even neater to name the third Harold?
Do we control our destiny, or do unseen forces manipulate us? A man glimpses the future Fate has planned for him and realizes he wants something else. To get it, he must pursue across, under and through the streets of modern-day New York the only woman he's ever loved. On the brink of winning a seat in the U.S. Senate, ambitious politician David Norris (Damon) meets beautiful contemporary ballet dancer Elise Sellas (Emily Blunt) - a woman like none he's ever known. But just as he realizes he's falling for her, mysterious men conspire to keep the two apart. David learns he is up against the agents of Fate itself - the men of The Adjustment Bureau - who will do everything in their considerable power to prevent David and Elise from being together. In the face of overwhelming odds, he must either let her go and accept a predetermined path...or risk everything to defy Fate and be with her.
Trivia
The names of the three main members of the Adjustment Bureau are Thompson, Richardson, and Harry: a play on the term Tom, Dick, and Harry, which is slang for any anonymous persons.Surely it would have been even neater to name the third Harold?
Shaping Up
Sweden and the United States are into the quarter-finals of the women's World Cup after maintaining their 100% records at this year's tournament. Sweden's second straight 1-0 success in Group C defeated North Korea who are now eliminated, and the United States brushed aside Colombia, who are also out, 3-0.
No Idea
A parliamentary inquiry wants Fifa to conduct an independent review into the corruption claims that have dogged the organisation, according to BBC Sport. Football's governing body has been criticised for its response to the 2022 World Cup bribery allegations. Fifa is also criticised for its handling of corruption claims in their recent presidential elections.
The Culture, Media and Sport select committee's report is due to be published on 5th July, which will criticise Fifa's "contemptuous" and "dismissive" response to evidence submitted to the committee by the Sunday Times which accused two Fifa members, Issa Hayatou and Jacques Anouma, of asking for bribes to back Qatar's 2022 World Cup bid.
However, the ethics committee decided allegations of vote-trading between Spain and Portugal, who were bidding for the 2018 World Cup, and Qatar, who were bidding for 2022, were unfounded.

Does anyone even think for a moment that Sepptic Splatter will even consider the committee's findings? Fifa has always stated it will not accept any interference from MPs and yet here we are with puff up wind bags demanding all sorts of things.
What a waste of time, effort, money and energy.
