Wayne Bridge has made himself unavailable for the World Cup squad Tony as he said his selection would be 'untenable and potentially divisive'.
So the guy that was let down by his childs mother and former best friend is now forced to withdraw from a squad because it might lead to a 'divisive' camp. Yet the guy that did the dirty on him still thinks he could be Engalnd captain again.
I don't agree Bridge was forced to withdraw from the squad. I think his decision is pretty weak actually and it's one he'll definitely regret. The guy has a realistic shot at going down in history by winning the World Cup and he's prepared to let JT rob him of that?? If England win in SA all the players including JT will be legends for life. How's that gonna feel Wayne? Even if England don't win Bridge robs himself of the opportunity to perform on the world stage and bag himself a lucrative new contract when he gets home. Bridge is seemingly letting JT screw every aspect of his life. So if Bridge is too much of a pussy to treat JT as a random anon and get on with business then I'm glad he's sitting this one out. |

I think my old golfing buddy from Blackpool Ivor Lefton deserves at least a mention in despatches.

Jenny Taylor is a cracker too, and good old Ivor Lefton the golfer would be a great job/sport related name, a little like the old Detroit quartetback Chuck Long.
There were some job names in there too.
Dr Leslie Doctor, Dr Thoulton Surgeon and Les Plack - a dentist in San Francisco, tho he really should be French for the gag to work better ;o)
Two names I missed off the list were
Doug Hole
Hazel Nutt.

There was a lady who used to have a policy with a Scottish friendly life assurance company who went by the name of Fanny Tickler - and yes that one is true.
I also had a client once in my lawyering days called Peter Ness. Which isn't very funny until you see the file which just abbreviates the client's Christian name.

There's a counsellor (don't know if he still is or not) in Stafford whose surname is Mycock. His first name? Ramon.

For my book I would take a good military survival handbook. Something like SurvivalIQ - The Wilderness Survival Handbook. Or The US Army Survival Manual. Or maybe Ray Mears Outdoor Survival Handbook. (If I could get a sneak preview of the terrain pre casting away, I could make a more informed choice)
With one of these and a little application, you could provide yourself with endless luxuries.
For my one "Allowed" luxury, I want a dog. I know that's against the rules, but I can be extraordinarily persuasive when I really want to be.
If, despite my best efforts, I definitely can't have a dog, I would consider it a luxury to be cast away on an island with wolves or foxes so that I could start my own domestication programme.
Granted - if you leave the moles in peace. |
