Factoid

It was great to see Chris Todd at the game on Saturday. 'Toddy' had an operation on Tuesday to repair a tear in his stomach, the resulting scars are impressive. Hopefully the rehab will go well and we will see him in action again soon. He explained to me that it is very painful when he laughs so I with recommended a short stay with our driver Dave, that should do the job!.
Another player in the wars is Chris Robertson who damaged ankle ligaments last week. It's incredible how often you are injured after, not during training . The same happened on this occasion, 'Robbo', myself and Kev Nicholson had set up a few cones to do some sprint work and within 5 minutes 'Robbo' had turned his ankle. Unfortunately this means a fair few weeks out for the big fella so again fingers crossed it's a speedy recovery. I'm sure he will want to return quickly, he has been playing really well. His pockets are also that deep , I'm talking ankle depth, that his lack of appearance money will be driving him mad!.
STOP PRESS! The blog has been criticised and this is from friends of mine!. No it is not as you may think the punctuation or the grammar, apologies for both. It is in fact the lack of facts. I'm full of bizarre information and useless facts and I haven't included any. Get your pen and paper, a cup of tea and I will begin.


Every day we drink 165 million cups of tea, importing 150 tonnes a year. 40 million burgers are sold every day by McDonald's. A lightning bolt is 5 times hotter than the Sun, golfers beware!. The Sun is 330,330 times bigger than the Earth. A square piece of paper cannot be folded in half more than 7 times, I know you'll try that one!. There are no clocks in Las Vegas casinos, I wonder why !. There are 194 countries in the World, the smallest being The Vatican City, yes it's in Rome!. A cockroach can still survive if it loses it's head but only for about 2 weeks as it dies of starvation. The state of Florida is larger than England. Tom Jones real name is Thomas Woodward and Courtney Love's Michelle Harrison. The Amazon rain forest gives us 20% 0f the worlds oxygen contains a quarter of the worlds species and takes in one fifth of the worlds C02. There are 1.2 billion people living in poverty worldwide despite the fact that there are about 10 million millionaires.
And if you think that the 'war on terror' has gone quiet, it hasn't. America are still spending 100 million dollars a day fighting the Taliban,7 million is spent on the 11 million Afghans in need of aid. Still in Afghanistan during recent ferocious fighting with the Taliban Cpl Paul Knapp said : "In 18 minutes of solid fighting we dropped 176 mortar bombs and fired 9,000 rounds!.

I know what your saying 'Stato', 'Bore off' etc etc. Sticks and stones will not break my bones(were not in Roman times) and words will never hurt me, I have heard them all before: Gypo, where's your caravan, and your past it are just a few, and that's just from my family!.
