Fur Coat And No Knickers

Good morning.

The morning after the night before. They gave us a parachuting Queen – complete with the most ridiculous continuity error ever shown on telly since Jacques Santini was unveiled as manager – jumped off the chopper in daylight, landed in darkness. Betty’s dresses certainly hold the old wind back, eh?

We got JM Barrie, a homage to the NHS and GOSH, IKB aka KB who couldn’t stop smiling and as he was so ITK that we’d also be seeing a Bond, a Bean and a Becks on a boat not to mention a Beatle …all twirling endlessly on a giant model railway baseboard with psychedelic scenery. 

Like drunk sex it felt good in places, but I would have felt more comfortable watching a cleverly sequenced movie that did the same job and cost a whole lot less.

That was three million quid less than Andy Carroll. Andy Carroll has been lauded as a waste of money, but he was bought with private cash.

I find it impossible to feel good about the money burned last night and the £480m piece of junk stadium that will be left behind. Will they hand the athlete’s accommodation in the Olympic village over to Shelter? Will the NHS get a fraction of the money being burned in this miserable middle class ethical car crash? 

So from fur coat to the lack of underwear. Or rather the lack of Under Armour. 

Don’t get me wrong, the kits look good but where’s the jacket that Bale was wearing in LA? Where’s the polo top Villa-Boas has been sporting? Why are there two mishmash offers on the Under Armour site and the Official site? Why are some garments available in more sizes than others? 

I see the OS is offering free shipping on orders over £40.00 Presuming that best selling item must be the short sleeved home shirt at £45.00 this suggests screams that they aren’t selling as many of their best seller as they had hoped to. 

UA and THFC would do well to set up a call, relaunch and watch the basket value increase.

People shopping at jumble sales don’t tend to buy a lot. 

Liverpool later on. 1800hrs here in jolly old Blighty. You can it watch live on both ESPN and Spurs TV. At this stage it would be beyond ambitious to have a pre-match prattle, other than to say that this will be the first game actually worth watching for obvious reasons.

    good,going to watch the footy later on the old stream,

    i thought the opening ceremony was enjoyable enough,its hard to please everyone on nights like these and best to keep politics out of it for me as what’s the point,

    was a bit late for the kids though wasn’t it nearly 1:00 am,seems a bit silly to me

  • fist says:

    HH, this is a most unwelcome headline

    I expected some pictures of naked ladies wearing fur coats & no knickers, what do I get?

    a rant about the feckin limp’ics, I have been ranting to anyone who’ll listen what a waste of our money this thing is going to be, 9 billion and counting for a load of white elephants that we’ll be paying for until 2042 or later.

    hopefully now we’ll do a great job & project a positive image of the UK hopefully resulting in more investment & jobs but I won’t hold my breath

    back to spurs, where’s our strike force for next season? have spurs been hit with a transfer embargo or something? Cheatski have been signing world class players every week and we’re sitting on our hands, time to show some ambition Mr Joe Lewis

    • Peter Ogden says:

      Who is going to be our strike force for tonight?Daniel/Joe sign Damaiao urgently.
      Condolencies to Defoe he is having a real hard rime losing family mermbers .Thoughts and prayers go out to him.

      • jfdit says:

        if we leave it to the last minute as usual we will end up with no one decent up top, no club will sell a world class striker with no time to replace them, Levy’s last minute sniping just don’t work as business done in previous windows has proved.

        everyone else is improving their squads whilst we’ve just replaced king & got a back up to VDV, I was hoping for a lot more

    Quite a bit of animosity between Spurs and Liverpool ATM. Would love to see Sig bag one against them. No idea what squad the GFG will pick with what he has to chose from out there.

  • Why have the Olympics? They could have even created a movie that had all the events staged as well.Mr Rowan Bean would have grabbed all the spoils for sure. (9.8 for tongue in cheek)
    Im sure the Barack Obama campaign will cover half of the cost just for the NHS promotion in America.
    I enjoyed it except for one thing.I have always,like most people on the planet have loved the Beatles music but isnt Paul done? He could wear all his medals and stand there stately and thats where the film should come in.That hill definately had a place over it for Paul.
