I apologise to the good Pompey fans who visit this site, but I found this funny The Portsmouth manager flies to Kabul to watch a young Afghani play football. He is suitably impressed and arranges for the player to come over. Two weeks later Portsmouth are 2-0 down with only 20 minutes left The manager gives the young Afghani striker the nod, and on he goes. The lad is a sensation. He scores 3 goals in 20 minutes and wins the game for Portsmouth . The fans are delighted, the players and the coach are delighted And the media love the new Star. When the player comes off the pitch he phones his mum to tell her about his first day in English Football. 'Hello mum, guess what?' he says 'I played for 20 minutes today, we were 2 - 0 down but I scored 3, they call it a hat-trick, And we won. Everybody loves me, the fans, the press, They all love me.' 'Just wonderful,' says his mum, 'Let me tell you about my day … Your father got shot in the street, your sister and I were ambushed and assaulted, she would have been raped but for a passing Police Vehicle. Your brother has joined a local gang of looters and set fire to some buildings And all while you tell me that you were having a great time!!' The young lad is very upset. 'What can I say mum, but I'm really sorry.' Sorry?!!! Sorry?!!!' says his mum. 'It's your bloody fault we came to Portsmouth in the first place!
http://news.sky.com/story/1477156/two-shot-dead-at-anti-muslim-cartoon-contest Two gunmen shot at an anti-Muslim cartoon contest in America. I'm torn on this (because as a woman I am feel strongly about Islam...at least in its more severe forms) and I don't think something like this should be banned (on the grounds of free speech), but I question the intelligence of the organisers. Why be inflammatory....especially in a country when any nutter can get guns. And why insult decent Americans who are muslim. Hardly worth it.
New line up for top gear according to this article..... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...tor-Philip-Glenister.html?ito=social-facebook Meh
I'd have no problems with Guy Martin. We'd get some proper bike tests at least. Holding him back would be the problem. The only time he properly calms down is when he's doing 200mph on two wheels on the IOM. His recent series in India was very good though and showed another side. Couldn't keep off an Enfield Bullet though. Hopefully he'd still be able to do other things as well. The other two are fine as well. It's the chemistry between them that'll make or break the show. That's the essential difference between the traditional TG and the recent one. In the old one the presenters hardly ever got together, so it was as dry as dust, and for vehicle nerds only. Mind you, it was very informative, and at least you actually learned something of worth that you could mentally file away.
Gutted to hear the news about Greavsie. Forget Lineker, Owen, Fowler, Shearer and Rooney, Greavsie was the Guvnor, the best natural finisher that this country has ever produced. Get well soon Jimmy.
Yeah, I'd have to go with that too. Got himself injured during the 1966 World Cup and was overlooked for the Final. Something which disgruntled him for many years. Mind you, would he have scored a hat-trick..? I doubt it. Probably 4. And he got his winners medal eventually alongside our Terry.
I can't stand Guy Martin's voice. So guess I will have to mute when he talks. Kidd is ok, but Glenister comes off as a angry drunk a lot of the time.
Unfortunately I'm a few years behind in my viewing of Top Gear but saw the Burma bridge episode on Croatian TV last week - I know I'm a bit of a dinosaur, but really - they got reprimanded for that? I guess someone will tell me why slope is so offensive (and after living in Wales for 25 years, sheep shagging jokes aren't?)
