…we are, we are, we are the mods!”
Watched Quadrophenia last night. Top film.
Welcome back OD! I was getting bored of the blokey with his pneumatic drill.
Couple of stories from Ananova.com:
Goalie plays on alone in the fog
A goalkeeper played on for ten minutes unaware that his match had been abandoned because of thick fog.
Richard Siddall, who couldn’t see beyond his penalty box, assumed all of the action was at the other end.
He only realised when a fan told him the match between his side Stocksbridge Steels, near Sheffield, and Witton Albion had been called off after 30 minutes.
Richard told the Daily Star: “I didn’t have a clue. I just stood there waiting for a player to come through the mist.”
His manager Wayne Biggins, a former Sheffield Wednesday player, said: “We were in the dressing rooms but Richard thought we were still playing.
“No-one had a clue where he was until it dawned on us that he must have still been on the pitch.”

Schoolchildren banned from throwing snowballs
Children at a school in Norfolk have been banned from throwing snowballs at each other unless they ask their target first.
Pupils at Fairway Middle School, Norwich, have been told they will be punished if they launch surprise attacks.
The Daily Telegraph reports that if they want to throw a snowball at another pupil, they must now approach them first.
Only if their victims agree to be a target are they allowed to try to hit them.
Headteacher Douglas Gowans denied being a killjoy, saying the new restriction had not dampened the children’s fun.
He said: “We told the children that if they were playing a game they had to make sure that everybody who was taking part wanted to be in it.”
Peter Eldridge, county secretary for the National Union of Teachers, said: “With the litigious nature of the society we live in now, I can see where the head is coming from. It is a sensible thing to do.”

And a website;
Mysteries of Time and Space A strangely addictive point n click game.
Someone please tell me that this is a joke Please. It has to be.
Rant! Rant! RANT!
I blame Karyn. A while ago someone set up a website called Save Karyn. The idea was (get this):
The eponymous Karyn ran up $20,000 on her credit card. And then asked for donations to pay it off. She has shut down the site because she got her money.
Anyway, someone else is doing something similar. She wants us to fund her boob job
No word of anyone getting anything in return. She wants you to just give her money.
WHY? JUST PAY FOR THE DAMN THING YOURSELF!
Now, if it was to raise money for charity, I could understand. If you were buying something, and the money raised funded the op, no problem.
But this is just on-line begging. So, if you find another site like this, let me know. And I will award them one of my new Scrounging Bastard awards.
And on that note,
Toodlies.
