I had a meeting in London this morning and whilst waiting for a colleague at Liverpool station I saw the most amusing bunch of folk wandering round.
They were Arabic or potentially Egyptian, mostly women and hugely fat; nothing amusing in this you say, however, they were all decked out in Burberry gear - the eye-catching house check no less. At first I thought it was a branch of the Aberdeen Soccer Casuals who's 'members' can often be seen in lairy Burberry jackets, scarves and hats but no, it was obviously some rich family who were on holiday and had just come back from a trip on Oxford Street.
They had headscarves, shorts, shirts, coats, wraps, socks and other stuff all in the famous check - I thought it was hilarious because they obviosuly thought they were the height of fashion but alas no, they just looked stupid!

Thorne in my side
The first exciting signings of the season have arrived, Peter Thorne and Barry Conlon. Two experienced strikers that will no doubt be leading the front line next season for BCFC.
When players are described as 'experienced' it generally means 'old bastard' or 'played for every other club in the football league'. I must admit that I am not a fan of Peter Thorne, but he may be suitable for basement level football - I think he only scored 2 goals all last season so not exactly a great record. He has changed hands for big money in the past though so maybe this will be one last hurrah for the 34 year old. I can't see him being as prolific as Windass, however, he will probably cause a lot less problems on and off the field.
Conlon has played over 300 games so again he can be tagged as experienced which is probably what you need at fourth division level.
We must now have a squad of 8 full time professionals; at least they can now have 4-a-side in training. I think training last week must've involved canoeing across the training pitch as it was heavily flooded. They might actually get to kick a ball about this week.
Lets hope we get a new goalkeeper and some midfielders in the door this week.

Diana concert
Did anyone else think the Diana concert on Sunday was utter shite? I only saw bits of it as I was busy constructing a nursery for my forthcoming progeny. The whole thing look dull, uninspiring and completely full of upper middle class twits. The line-up was dreadful - felt sorry for Ricky Gervais at the end, having to fill in for Elton John whilst he was pissing around backstage with his toupee.
What exactly did the 'peoples princess' actually do for the country? Slept with a couple of Arabs, told the Royal Family what she thought of them and died in a car crash. Not exactly a huge contribution to British society is it?
I also saw the documentary recently about the Diana car crash - why are certain people still insisting that there is a huge conspiracy around her death? A pissed-up driver going too fast crashes in a tunnel, passengers dead - that's it, end of story.
