April fool
Pinch punch first day of the month...

Dan, the last time 2nd in-line achieved 1st was when the prince of wales shagged the yankee reject. In any case, at the moment 1st is Big Ears and surely second is his eldest.

'I saw GMTV's april fool this morning... i cant believe they thought anyone would seriously fall for it. Cows fed on strawberries are producing flavoured milk...'
Erm...i'm saying nothing more on this.
never underestimate stupidity

It took me two paragraph's to twig on the Mirror's story about using sheep to graze on Wembley's turf to keep it in mint condition ("Wembaahley").

As if a player would ever say, "Boss, I hate to say this: I think I may be allergic to the pitch!"
For f**k's sake.
'never underestimate stupidity.'
You mean like an American witha machine gun in a foreign country?
Dan, you bastard.
Slap kick etc...
