Anyway.....
The Judge turns round to a little girl at a custody hearing and says:
'Who would you like to stay with, your mum?'
The little girl says 'no sir, she beats me'.
'How about your father then?' says the Judge.
'No sir, he beats me as well' says the little girl.
'Well, who would you like to stay with?' says the Judge.
'Liverpool Football Team please' says the girl, 'they never beat anyone!'

Not sure about the title, but it's not a bad video:

It was a bad afternoon for Cowdenbeath's Jordan Garden, as he managed to concede a penalty after diving in his own penalty area

By the looks of it he was throwing himself in front of a shot he thought somebody was going to take, only to realise it wasn't going to go well.
Plain stupid or badly disorientated?
Reminds me of a certain Captain, Leader, Bellend while he was playing for England.
Congratulations to Lewis Hamilton. Britain's most successful F1 driver, at the head of a list of true greats. It's not for me anymore and not a patch on motorcycle racing but being the best in the world in such a prestigious sport is a wonderful achievement.
Now, we need a new Sheene, Read, Hailwood, Ivy, Surtees, Duke.

There'll never be another Surtees.
Incredible achievement to be the best on two and four wheels.
Away this week as it's half term.
Been to Northumberland and visited Alnick Castle on Sunday morning (the last day it was open to the public before the family moved back in).
Saw the statue of Harry Hotspur on his horse and noted the two lions flanking the shield on the Duke of Northumberland's crest, which has similarities to the Spurs' crest.
Why is a Northumberland nobleman from the 14th century the inspiration for a London football team founded 500 years later?

He was outrageously sexy.

'As a tribute to his speed in advance and readiness to attack' on the Scottish borders, the Scots bestowed on him the name 'Haatspore'.

1. A football club seeking an on-pitch ethos of
"speed in advance and readiness to attack"
would have no better namesake to take.
Sir Jose Dirgefest and Richard of Huth (Leicester)
never had the same appeal.
2. Tottenham is in the ancestral feudal lands that
were given to the Percy family.
As with most successful, monied sons of 'the north', Harry Hotspur aka Sir Henry Percy, spent most of his time in London, at court. His family owned land and he lived in the area of Northumberland Park [named after the family seat] which includes the location of WHL/New Stadium.
The club was originally named Hotspur FC as it grew out of Hotspur Cricket Club formed by grammar-school boys from the Bible class at All Hallows Church. The name was altered to Tottenham Hotspur FC in 1884, 2 years after formation, because there was another club named London Hotspur FC already in existence.
Our original headquarters were named Percy House. That building has been renovated as part of the development of the new stadium and will very soon contain our charitable arm - Tottenham Hotspur Foundation.
Given the strong influence The Percy family had on the area, it's not as surprising as at first glance.
I'm amazed that the present Duke (Ralph Percy) still lives at Alnwick Castle part of the year - although he also has a London home.
With a £350M fortune, he would have, wouldn't he?
And you want to see his drinks cabinet!!
It must have taken forever to travel between London and Northumberland in the 14th century.
I live in "the north", but it's 170 miles south of here!
He never learnt how to drive a bus (they weren't invented then), let alone learning how to park one.
He was known for opposing a dubious interloper with dodgy French connections who had repeated failed campaigns in Europe.
