A seven-year-old boy was at the centre of a

London courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over

who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by

his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in

keeping with child custody law and regulations requiring that family unity

be maintained to the degree possible.

The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him

more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When

the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy

cried out that they also beat him.


After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning

that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge

took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should

have custody of him. After two recesses to check legal references and

confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody

to Tottenham Hotspur Football Club whom the boy firmly believes are

incapable of beating anyone

Brilliant - my Dad supports Norwich and I remember that so well. I don't think I have cringed so much in my life.


You know when you wake up and try to recall the night before? That moment has got to be the worst, worse than any hangover you could EVER possibly have. :-$

Leaving aside Lawro's innate pessimim (he wasn't always like that BTW - when he played for the Republic he was quite hapy to have a pop at goal from 50 yards several times a game such was his youthful optimism) he might be onto something


Several draws on the trot, coupled with spirited but less than glamorous football suggest a dose of realism has descended upon the team. Over the season that might work in our favour but for now I can se Monday's game being a draw as well.


Of course it might be a watershed as well but I'm a leeeetle bit nervy. Anyway:


Derby 0-2 West Ham

Liverpool 3-0 Fulham

Sunderland 1-1 Newcastle (forgot this was on.. juicy)

Birmingham 1-2 Aston Villa

Bolton 2-2 Middlesbrough

Chelsea 1-1 Everton

Man Utd 3-1 Blackburn

Portsmouth 2-1 Man City

Tottenham 2-0 Wigan

Reading 0-1 Arsenal

England squad: Robinson, Carson, James, P Neville, Campbell, Richards, Brown, Lescott, Shorey, Bridge, A Cole, Beckham, Wright-Phillips, Bentley, Gerrard, Lampard, Hargreaves, Barry, J Cole, Downing, Young, Smith, Crouch, Defoe, Rooney, Owen.


Hmm :-S


Ferdinand suspended (muppet!), Terry injured, Richards not fully fit. Just so long as Lampard doesn't get his place back, I don't care if he is scoring for Chelsea!

The year we won the title at Shite Hart Lane he played and put in some x-rated tackles and moaned about everything, just because he felt he had to, as he had been (as in once upon a time) a big star and therefore had the right to do so. He was one of a gang of players that Spuds decided to take on in their superannuation scheme that they were running at the time for several players that were over the hill, and wanted an easy life. >:D<

Oh.


I don't really remember him at Spurs. I mean I remember him going there, but don't remember much about it, other than him being injured lots, which unfortunately was always the problem. I for one thought he was a wonderful player at his best, but along with Fowler, Liverpool had 2 players who could have really had great England careers had they not had so many injuries.


As for Macca, everyone said he never did it for England, but I thought he was one of the best players in Euro '96, making a load of goals, and he looked good in 2000, but then got injured again.

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      By HeadNun · Posted

      Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's.

      When does a family run business become a chain?

      By Sephiroth · Posted

      In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
