www.justgiving.com/loubigfoot The golden opportunity of being the first on-line sponsor STILL awaits the lucky first on-line sponsor. It's still not too late.
French singer and sixties heart-throb Sacha Distel died this week. He had a string of hits during the sixties and seventies, none of which I can remember.
The BBC have informed me he sang "Raindrops Keep Falling On Mee-Yed". Can't say I haven't heard that now can I?
TOP STORY:
Mrs. Pointon Completes the Challenge!
08/08/04
Mrs. Pointon crossed the finish line of the Cheshire Bigfoot Challenge today and announced "That was the hardest thing I've ever done!". The total money raised to date is 858 English pounds. Well done to Mrs. Pointon and thanks to all who sponsored her.
ENGLISH MAN DIES.....
... Of Malaria. James Garner, aged 21, died of Malaria following a trip to Thailand (report from the Sent-null). I know at least one reader who may feel slightly luckier having done something very similar and survived.
HANDLEYS HAVE LANDED:
The Handley family have arrived at the destination of their latest adventure, St. Helena. The Editor is hoping they send something daft enough to be included in The Wolstanton Weekly. Good luck for the rest of the two years on the tiny island miles from anywhere.
Still doesn't seem very peaceful to me!
Circle Flies:
A farmer got pulled over by a state trooper for speeding, and the trooper started to lecture the farmer about his speed, and in general began to throw his weight around to try to make the farmer uncomfortable. Finally, the trooper got around to writing out the ticket, and as he was doing that he kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around his head. The farmer said, "Having some problems with circle flies there, are ya?" The trooper stopped writing the ticket and said--"Well yeah, if that's what they are--I never heard of circle flies". So the farmer says--"Well, circle flies are common on farms. See, they're called circle flies because they're almost always found circling around the back end of a horse."
The trooper says, "Oh," and goes back to writing the ticket. Then after a minute he stops and says, "Hey...wait a minute, are you trying to call me a horses ass?"
The farmer says, "Oh no, officer. I have too much respect for law enforcement and police officers to even think about calling you a horses ass."
The trooper says, "Well, that's a good thing," and goes back to writing the ticket.
After a long pause, the farmer says, "Hard to fool them flies though."
AngryNews:
Guitars and Bass are now added to two tracks. There's even a vocal on one. The new official website will soon be at www.angrysongs.co.uk
"Bigfoot Finish Line. The end of fifty miles."
Footy:
The new season has started,. and this time it has a new name and sponsor just to confuse old guys like me.
07/08/04
Div 1 (Old name):
Crewe 2 - 2 Cardiff City
Div 2:
Walsall 3 - 2 Port Vale
08/08/04
Stoke City 2 - 1 Wolves
A perfect start to the season for Stoke fans then.
The three hottest days of the year covered the Bigfoot challenge just to make it that bit more difficult..
The D Road is still the most exiting thing happening locally. Maybe I should do a roving report from Stoke town centre.
Had one from British Gas this week.
