Broken leg fears for Hargreaves
"Owen Hargreaves has broken his leg," I call up to Jimmy.
"United will be pleased they didn't sign him."
"That's a really stupid thing to say, because if United had signed him, he wouldn't have been playing for Bayern Munich and wouldn't broken his leg. And I am sure it is a stupid thing to say because it was my first thought but I had realised the illogicality before I told you."
A bit later he's on the sofa and wants to watch TV. He asks me to walk over and switch on the TV (good exercise for me, apparently...) so I offer also to operate the TV remote control. We then discuss where we're going tonight; after a while he says "Why do you want to watch this rubbish?" This rubbish being All-In Gimmicky Wrestling...you know, we pay a fortune for hundreds of TV channls and have a shouted conversation over...wrestling. So he uses the other remote to change chnnels and declares that a One-on-One with Gordon Brown is no better than All-in Wrestling.
And inspiration strikes! Rather than arcane arguments over OMOV vs Electoral College, we could settle the Leadership via a wrestling match. And Deputy Leader via tag wrestling?
Jimmy says that he should have put money on Alan Johnson, who scored again for Everton. "Alan Johnson?" I say "but Harriet Harman's entered the race. Oh, Andy Johnson. Did he score again?"
It's a laugh a minute at Gert Cottage...
