Whilst this really shouldn't turn into the Oh-my-God-it-turns-out-I-do-know-who-Sloper-is thread... it turns out I've met him on several occasions, including that particular trip to Font.

Yes - for those who are severely traumatised by Acute Sloper Syndrome (ASS) there is a self help group run by Lagerstarfish Enterprises. It meets in the Sheaf Monday to Friday with extra sessions on the weekend for those deemed wealthy needing extra treatment.

Just remember - self help works best if you pay a chunk of cash for it first.

Slightly off topic, but I heard that there is a deaf lady in Eastbourne who hasn't heard Joe Picalli having a sweary-crag-tantrum.

I know, probably just an urban myth.

I'm afraid someone's going to have to explain what's going on in that picture other than 4 blokes stood outside Pete's.

My guess is that Pete is wearing troll pants whilst chatting to people (who are possibly on the International Meet if the image name is anything to go by).

Walking through Burley this morning at around half 10. A couple of lads staggering home, seemingly after a long night out, still drinking cans of Tennents Super. As I pass I hear this little gem:

Quick! If we hurry home we can still catch the end of Jeremy Kyle!



It's life, Jim. But not as we know it.
