    I'm trying hard not to imagine any such thing.

    You've gotta hand it to The Heff. He seldom wore anything but a dressing gown, turned putting silicon into womens' bodies into an industry and turned dressing women as rabbits into something that people wanted to pay to see. He also smoked a pipe. When was the last time you saw someone smoking tobacco from a pipe?

    When I was about 10, a kid who lived round the corner from me, showed me his dad's Playboy Club Membership, which he'd found in his parents' room. I was gobsmacked at the time that someone who looked so boring was a bit of a player. I've long since learned that it's normally the boring looking ones.........

    I saw a documentary film on him a while back.

    For an industry he effectively supercharged into a multi
    billion dollar concern, there was a real sense of class/
    intelligence/humour in his ways.

    Contrast with the Spanner owners, who make
    Larry Flynt (who gave the Heff a serious commercial
    dilemma) seem like Noel Coward by comparison.

  4. Stokes & Hales suspended by England indefinitely.
    The video is damning on the face of it and certainly Stokes only possible (partial) salvation is if it is shown that he initially acted in defence of himself or another. That is the suggestion I imagine, as the guy he floored supposedly had bottled someone.
    But it's still a feckin' ridiculous way to behave - even just going out clubbing in the middle of an international tournament!! <doh>

    Larry Flynt is America. Everything good, bad, pretty or ugly about it seems to have been a part of his life.
    Nothing says Stars and Stripes more than a self-made millionaire that was shot and crippled by a racist serial killer for creating interracial porn.

    In that documentary, he and others gave Heff the dilemma
    as to whether Playboy should get involved in the 'flesh fest'
    arms race in the piccies dept (he was uneasy with the
    thought even though not doing so was obviously going to
    damage his then market share .

    He made the right decision. Playboy was marketed as a lifestyle. Hustler was marketed as basic porn.
    Waitrose don't maintain their customer base by trying to compete with Lidl. Know your market.
    Lots of companies fail that test and shoot themselves in the foot.

    Who is it again who has the most assists in 2017 in the top five leagues? Who seems to pull out some extraordinary piece of skill that serves a purpose every match? Just as well it's not common knowledge...

    £20 Adults and £25 for Club Wembley. Great value to see the Hammers get stuffed.

    Owen Coyle appointed manager of Ross County. It's taken a while for him to find his true level as a manager.

    I predict a combination of team lineup + manager attire /
    facial hair that will cause you to have a major seizure. :)

    Just seeing Serge Aurier in a Spurs shirt has already given me 2 or 3 seizures this season thank you.

    And that is just his beard, let alone the on-pitch stuff.

    Come on, you know that's not true. It's the little highlighted bit in his hair.
    The Premier League's silly haircut quota dipped below the line when he was sent off, so the Spam sent on Masuaku.

    It seems to have got worse for Stokes.
    He's on video mocking Katie Price/Dwight Yorke's disabled kid. That self absorbed idiot Price is fair game, but taking the mick out of a disabled child isn't going to win him many friends.

    Extraordinary to see last year's Champions Middlesex relegated today, just two points behind 4th placed Yorkshire.
    Never looked in the running for relegation.
