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.

      Handyman Review

      By mgk · Posted

      A belated recommendation for Iain and Paul od Oddbods who came to help me with various jobs before Christmas.  Painting ceiling, renewing silicone around bath, repairing a window sill which was almost beyond repair and hanging a large mirror.   Very happy with their work and they are friendly and very reliable and excellent at communicating.  No hesitation in recommending them.

      Plumber recommendation - Niko the Plumber

      By ssn · Posted

      I just wanted to post for all my neighbours a recommendation of Niko, the wonderful plumber who works locally. Niko has done work for me over the years, including large and small jobs. He recently replaced four radiators in my house which have helped us really be warm for the first time! I recommend Niko so whole heartedly because (1) he is completely straight forward and will advise you not to do something / a cheaper solution, if that is what is best for you; and (2) he is one of the kindest and most honest people I have ever known. He goes the extra mile to sort out problems, particularly urgent ones.

      The Mansion Tax

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.

      The Mansion Tax

      This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
