Herge's Adventures of Hampden.


Recommended Posts

A whirling vortex of bilious blue blistering barnacles lifted the Karaboujan from Ostend harbour and passed her sturdy hull into the safe draught of the Hampden swirl. Tin Tin and faithful hound Snowy alighted on to the hallowed turf. Captain Haddock bellowed, "ten thousand thundering typhoons" . Thomson and Thompson chorused, "get going, we are all set". Through the floodlight glare, TinTin saw all in pastel shades and declared, "Snowy, it's plucky little Belgium against Scotland".

 

Enough of the fantasy, let's endure the reality. This is going to be sore.

 

Still, throughout, if it helps; let's remember Herge was a collaborator.

"Zut alors", cried TinTin; those Belgians are from pot one, we are in the bam pot. 

 

The differential between Belgium and Scotland is worthy of Professor Calculus and his best effort. However, Tom English still believes Steve Clarke is the man. If you think that is far fetched, Billy Dodds has just uttered, "we need Scott McKenna back". 

 

Billy needs his sense of perspective back.
