Actual Real, True, Genuine News Item about a guy from Wolstanton. Let's call him "Wolstanton Guy":

In other football spectating news, a glory hunting Wolstanton Guy phoned a friend recently in a state of shock. The previous night he had gone to London to see his adopted team Chelsea play in a cup match, and he gave one of his glory hunting mates a lift home to Leicestershire after the game. It was around 2:00 in the morning and Wolstanton Guy was driving along a Leicestershire dual carriageway, it was pitch black with no street lighting and a fox ran out right in front of him. He was unable to miss the fox, but as he was travelling at around 60 mph decided that the fox would have been killed and he decided to carry on to his mate's house. Upon arrival, his mate told Wolstanton Guy not to drive straight off as the stop gave them chance to inspect the car for fox shaped damage, but on getting out of the car they were astonished to find said fox wedged length ways into the grill on the front of the car, and furthermore still breathing. Wolstanton Guy telephoned the police for advice, and they washed their hands of it, said it was none of their concern and gave him the number of an emergency vet. He called the vet who gave his postcode, so Wolstanton Guy set off in the middle of the night to find a vet in an area he has no knowledge of. Some 5 minutes later, he was flagged down by a passing police car, "Excuse me Sir, are you aware that you have a fox on the front of your car" ?? Wolstanton Guy regaled them with his story, so they escorted him to the vets. It was 3:30 by this stage and the world's most miserable vet came out, said nothing to anyone, touched the fox and mumbled "dead", pulled it from the grill and took it inside. Wolstanton Guy eventually arrived home turned 5:00 in the morning.

Ouch!



Joke of the year 2021. (Official)
The best joke at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival has been selected – and it’s a vegetable pun. Swedish comedian Olaf Falafel claimed the coveted honour of Dave’s Funniest Joke At The Fringe award after returning for the seventh time. The joke he won with is: “I keep randomly shouting out ‘broccoli’ and ‘cauliflower’ – I think I might have florets.”




Top Celebrity Death 2021.

Desmond Tutu
Died today aged 90. Mad as a box of frogs, this is how the clergy should be. Nobel Peace Prize winner, campaigner for non-violent protest against apartheid in South Africa and all round good guy. I had the privilege to hear him speak to a load of Stoke City fans at a charity match. He was with Banksy and Pele that day and still had the demeanour of a legend. R.I.P. Desmond.

Now the sport:

England are very poor at the moment, Australia are not.

Apparently, it's OK to change the rules during the last lap of the season in order to change the outcome of the race (and overall winner).
