Left holding the baby

I was left holding the baby today.

I also suspect that John Logie Baird may be spinning in his grave. Excrutiating, doesn't even come close.

In tribute to some of yesterday's blippers.

Ronaldinho, Zinedine Zidane and James McFadden are standing before God
at the throne of Heaven.
God looks at them and says; "before granting you a place at my side, I
must first ask you what you believe in."

Addressing Ronaldinho first he asks, "what do you believe?"

Ronaldinho looks God in the eye and states passionately, "I believe
Football to be the food of life. Nothing else brings such unbridled joy
to so many people from the slums of Rio to the bright lights of
Barcelona .
I have devoted my life to bring such joy to people who stood on the
terraces supporting their club."

God looks up and offers Ronaldinho the seat to his left.

He then turns to ZiZou, "and you, Zinedine , what do you believe?"

Zidane stands tall and proud, "I believe courage, honour and passion are

the fundamentals to life and I've spent my whole playing career
providing a living embodiment of these traits."

God, moved by the passion of the speech offers Zidane the seat to his
right.

Finally, he turns to Faddy "and you, James, what do you believe?"

"I believe" says Faddy "you're sitting in my seat."
