Comment on September 11 – FA Cup Stolen by renrut

renrut — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 20:35:32 +0000

I have completely, totally, utterly no interest whatsoever in football and the theft of the cup of no consequence to be but the idea that it still exists is intrigueing. The idea that a petty criminal had access to such sophisticated resources to make coins takes some believing so we plump for it being extant and reappearing one day.

Hi everybody, Happy Fool’s Day!

Two beggars are sitting on a park bench in Ireland. One is holding a cross and one a Star of David.
Both are holding hats to collect contributions. People walk by, lift their noses at the man with the Star of David and drop money in the hat held by the man with the cross. Soon the hat of the man with the cross is filled and the hat of the man with the Star of David is empty.
A priest watches and then approaches the men. He turns to the man with the Star of David and says, “Young man. Don’t you realize that this is a Christian country? You’ll never get any contributions in this country holding a Star of David.”
The man with the Star of David turns to the man with the cross and says, “Moishe, look who’s trying to teach us Marketing!!”

Happy April Fool’s Day!

Hi there,
I write to see if I can ask a favor of you. I am trying to get the word out about our site and do some small amounts of humble marketing.
Would it be possible for you to make a mention of my site for your readers in your next blog post? I would be happy to pay this advertising either in cold hard cash or with a favor in return.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Comment on August 28 – Fowler Gets His Hat-trick On by Jonathan Winsky

Jonathan Winsky — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 16:35:30 +0000

Make that four goals for Defoe in 18 minutes, or three in 15 if you are just talking about his 2nd, 3rd and 4th goals!

Has Fowler ever scored four goals in 18 minutes?

On current form, you would have to say that there is a strong possibility of Tottenham finishing ahead of Liverpool.

Jonathan Winsky — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 16:27:51 +0000

After Jermain Defoe scored a seven minutes hat-trick for Tottenham v Wigan today, I typed ‘Liverpool Arsenal August Fowler” as I wanted to know how long it took Fowler to get his hat-trick for Liverpool v Arsenal in 1994/95.

Fowler: less than 5 minutes
Defore: about 7 minutes

So, Fowler still holds the record

Thanks for the information.
