    Cars

    Getting itchy feet with the whole car thing, may well have to say sod it to the finances and treat myself again (yes I know I said elsewhere that the mortgage was my priority but....). Which of these would you go for: M5 - Top end performance and handling in a subtle style: 645 Sport -...

    Life In The A-League

    Before I headed off to Oz I said I'd write a regular blog about what it's like supporting a team on the other side of the world. Here is my first effort by way of an introduction to the Queensland Roar - Queensland Roar vs Adelaide United – 24th August 2008 Come On! Imagine this scenario...

    INBREDS PLAGUED BY DISEASE Colchester United fans are suffering from genetic diseases following years of inbreeding, an investigation has found. A BBC documentary says they are suffering acute problems because incest is emphasised over health when breeding. The programme shows Colchester...

    Workers Compensation

    Who decides how much money to print

    A bloke in the office said "who decides how much money to print". Presumably something to do with the Bank of England. If every country agreed to print the equivalent of an extra £10,000 per person they had living there, they could give everyone the ten grand and everyone would be wealthy. Or...

    Play-Off Omens?

    With us ending up in sixth place, I thought I'd look back through the history books to see how well teams had done in the play-offs from that position. And not too well, I'm afraid to say. In the 21 years of the play-offs up to last season, the team finishing bottom of the play-off group in our...

    Baldness

    Woke up this morning after a traumatic nightmare which involved me losing my hair. Was relieved to find the glossy locks still intact after a moment of panic. My question to the more follicle challenged members of the board, are you happy with your lack of hair? Is it something you learn to deal...
  9. French Football Fans

    Last weekend, a few of us went over to Lille for a night out and to catch a game. I wasn't too sure what to expect really; Lille and their opponents were both mid-table teams and the only household name in either squad was Pat Kluivert who was a sub for Lille. A bit like watching the...

    Useful Web Sites

    Easy one this. If you have any web sites that you think will be useful to others then list them here with a brief explanation. I'll start. If you don't like ringing 0845, 0870 or even 0800 numbers because they aren't free, here's a good web site. If you type in the number (or company) it will...

    The difference between Promotion and Relegation - Leon Clarke

    Here are some shocking statistics - I had an idea that there would be a marked contrast but didn't imagine it would be this extreme Games played with Leon Clarke in the side P 16 W 9 D 2 L 5 Points 29 Average 1.81 ( equivalent to 83 in a season ) Games without Leon Clarke in the side...
  13. Blackout rugby

    Just wondering if anyone else has a blackoutrugby team. It's basically the rugby equivalent of hattrick/battrick. It's still fairly early on in the game (only 4 games into the first season), but so far it seems good. I'm still in the Cup at the moment, but once I've been knocked out I wouldn't...

    Women's World Records Car Parking The smallest kerbside space successfully reversed into by a woman was one of 63ft 2ins, equivalent to three standard parking spaces, by Mrs Elizabeth Simpkins, driving an unmodified Vauxhall Nova Swing on October 12, 1993. She started the manoeuvre...

    La Lower Liga

    If anyone is mildly interested, I will be making a fool of myself on Sky Sports 1 this evening at 5.30pm GMT on the special 'La Lower Liga' - "exploring the English influence on Spanish football, focusing on CD Javea, who play in the equivalent of the Blue Square Premier League and have a large...

    SZ & SUFC Players

    I read a few months ago that Darren Byfield was a member of the MillW@nk equivalent to SZ and that to prove it he said he would bang his boots on the post if he scored which he did! Also Lenny Pidgely the GK joined up aswel and said what can i do to prove to you it is me & some fans said Try...

    Spencer Prior

    Spinner is appearing as a co-commentator and pundit on a show called Total Football on Fox Sports (the equivalent of Sky) in Australia. According to my sources he mentioned on there that he'd like to play for an Aussie club. However considering their A-League plays through the Oz summer I...

    America's Cup

    Greetings from New Zealand where the locals are all going mad for the America's Cup sailing. Because of the time difference races are on at 1-30 in the morning and many of them are still getting up to watch the sporting equivalent of paint drying (even duller than golf as a televised event)...

    April Fool's Day

    Whilst April Fool's Day isn't recognised in Spain - our equivalent is on December 28th (Dia de los Santos Inocentes) - I am reminded of the ShrimperZone spoof we ran about four or five years ago featuring a certain Icelandic striker signing for the Shrimpers and an exclusive photo and interview...
