    When they spoke to it was it a bit gruff?

    Have the right to protest then have the right to protest against said protesters.

    If someone is offended by you have the right to be offended by them being offended.

    Personally, I think it's just being made a scapegoat.

    Nigeria is a crazy place and some of the things in the newspaper are laughable. I remember seeing a headline in a paper there "Fatal accident, fortunately, no one was killed"

    Great article, slightly marred by an out of context paragraph added and then I think a chunk missing.
    What a story, about two incredible women. How emotional that must have been for both when she was on her first podium. I wonder how many undiscovered Fatima’s are out there? Sadly, not as many Margaret’s who would sacrifice so much for a kid struggling.

    I was sufficiently curious to look at her life on Wikipedia…….


    Whitbread wrote in her 2012 autobiography that she began a personal relationship with Norman shortly after his divorce in 1986.[7]: 242–244  In 1993, journalist Cliff Temple investigated claims that members of the Chafford Hundred Athletic Club, which was run by Whitbread and included leading athletes personally managed by her fiancé Norman, received preferential treatment from Norman in his role as promotions officer of the British Athletics Federation (BAF). Temple authored an article in The Sunday Times suggesting that there could be a conflict of interests.[42][43] Temple killed himself in January 1994. It emerged during the inquest into Temple's death that Norman had threatened and falsely smeared him.[44][45] Norman spread rumours that Temple had sexually harassed Shireen Bailey, whom Temple coached.[46][44][45] Bailey denied the claims.[46] Norman was dismissed from his job as promotions officer for the BAF following the federation's inquiry into the matter.[47][48] The inquest concluded that although the end of Temple's marriage was a contributing factor to his suicide, that the allegations by Norman were the other factor, and had "tipped the balance".[44]

    In 1997, Whitbread married Norman in Copthorne, West Sussex.[49] The couple, who had a son together, divorced in 2006. Norman died of a heart attack in 2007.[50][51]

    Thanks for asking mate, I'm OK. Still out of work, but I'm sure it will come eventually.
    A cracked rib doesn't help, I never realised just how painful it could be :emoticon-0120-doh:

    Note to self: put glasses on before picking up phone.

    I read that as Outrage this morning, as celebrities worldwide lose their blu tack.


    How will they attach their posters to their bedroom walls?

    Good luck to you. If you want a ticket for Saturday pm me.
    Pain? I tore my calf muscle 'playing' walking football last March, never known pain like it. Then I fell asleep with an ice pack directly on the wound 'to bring the swelling down' and it stuck to my skin. It must have been less painfull getting my leg amputated with a rusty saw. But pain passes. UTT.

    I hate it when you can't tell if your message has been read.
