What is it with footballers?. I can't recall anything like this happening to a cricketer - but no doubt I'm about to be corrected... Fred Trueman and the exploding Yorkshire pudding? Ted Dexter and the champagne cork? Colin Cowdrey and the vole?
Sure you can answer your own question Nige if you ponder for a moment - not just this clown, but footballers as an inbred species generally. It's somewhere in the wonderful Yiddish word 'kitsch', which you will need to rearrange, dropping one letter, to make another word
Although funnily enough I just almost teared up watching Villa's Martin Laursen announce his premature retirement due to injury. Commendably dignified and stiff upper lippy.
An England rugby prop - Colin Smart - once drank a bottle of aftershave in over-exuberant post-match celebrations. But then most self-inflicted injuries incurred by rugby players are brought on by a misplaced sense of fun.
Nige, who, like Mr Kenneth Horne, prefers to remain anonymous, was also a founder blogger of The Dabbler and a co-blogger on the Bryan Appleyard Thought Experiments blog. He is the sole blogger on this one, and his principal aim is to share various of life's pleasures. These tend to relate to books, art, poems, butterflies, birds, churches, music, walking, weather, drink, etc, with occasional references to the passing scene. His book, The Mother of Beauty: On the Golden Age of English Church Monuments, and Other Matters of Life and Death, is available on Amazon or direct from the author.
Because no true cricketer would sink to poaching an egg in a MICROWAVE, that's why.
ReplyDeleteI'd never thought of poaching an egg in the microwave before. I wonder is it's possible to hard-boil instead? Time for some DIY science I think.

ReplyDeleteIf it's a footballer, let's just be thankful he wasn't trying to use the microwave as a sex toy.
