    Notice Simeon Jackson has been put out to grass by Norwich and do you think we should take a look?

    That brings me back to my question as to whether we want another Canadian - who was the other?

    I would love him here. SADLY he is a championship striker and we wouldn't attract him. He'll go to a top half championship team easily. As for the other Canadian player. I don't now

    Canadians are good at chopping down trees and not much else.

    Good luck <ok>

    Got it in one wize as I knew you would. I met Jim when he was playing for Canada vs Brazil at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton and the crowd was 60,000 and the game was tied 2-2. Now before you doubters say that Brazil was probably playing an understrength team I will tell you that you would be so wrong, because all their World Cup players were on the field.

    However the groundskeeper decided to let the grass grow under their feet (literally) because he left it sooooo long that they couldn't get the ball moving at all. Now who said there isn't more than one way to skin the opposition and perhaps we should try it AG sometime.

    As a follow up I asked him why he left BCFC and he said it was mainly down to some foreigners running the club, and I think he also said something about Bjork!

    He use to use a pub in " gas " territory called 'The Three Brooks' in Bradley Stoke, I used to go there early on a Sunday night to drink with a mate, there was always 3 of them, Beadle, Millen and Jim, Beadle full of life, Millen always sullen and playing on a fruit machine and Brennan with the most beautiful woman, I think she lived local, never too much to drink and they always left by 8-30 PM, they were always respected and left alone by the local fruits, amazing when you consider we were all in the dark zone...

    Must confess when I met him he seemed like a really nice bloke and was more than willing to chat for quite a while but sadly he didn't introduce me to any of his women because he was late for a tree chopping festival (LOL).
