My mate Clive

I know it must seem patently obvious, but, in case you were in any doubt, I'd better say this up-front: I really don't plan any of this crap beforehand, you know…

A week last Sunday, I urged you all to listen to what World-Cup-winning former England rugby coach, Sir Clive Woodward, had to say.

This afternoon I quite unexpectedly found myself doing just that—in the flesh, so to speak.

Don't believe me, huh?

Admit it: you're mildly impressed.

  1. My gawd!!! Sir Clive has put on some weight..........oh, hang on YOU'RE the one on the left. Sorry. Scrub up well, donchya. Was this just a photo opp, or really a chance to chat to the man?

  2. Just a photo op, Keith: he gave us an hour-long presentation, after which, some colleagues asked me to take their photo with him.Then I handed one of them my camera.

  3. My dad grew his beard to in an attempt to hide his many chins; You must have grown yours for an entirely different reason. It's the only logical explanation.

  4. I think Nite Owl may have put the wrong data in the wrong box above. Maybe you could save him the spam by giving it a quick edit Mr C.

  5. Yes, he did it on the previous comment when he mysteriously referred to himself as 'Peter' too (which I fixed). Oddly, that isn't his proper email address either, but I'll fix it anyway.

    NITE OWL, you need to clear the 'website url' field when you submit a comment, but I'm guessing, if you do, the cookie fills it back in again. The solution is to clear your browser's cookies (or put in a valid website).

  6. I showed my ladyour site. Methinks he has been playing behind my back!

    I have 2 email addresses (1 for work & 1 for home) Sometimes I type in the wrong one....sorry

  7. Nite, I have told my comments system about both of your email addresses so that your avatar should work either way.

    Sounds as if Nite Owl Jr is a Beefheart fan too.

  8. All four of my kids were subjected to my taste in music from a very early age: Yes, he loves Beefheart as well as Korn & lots of modern bands & can hear the influences present. Although, as a child, ifmy wife played herplayed Janis Joplin albums, he referred to it as 'that woman screaming'. Unfortunately, my other three don't follow my tastes. My oldest boy is a well knownclub (hard trance) DJ. My daughter listens to the Sugar Babes & my youngest boy loves Judy Garland & Marlene Deitrich. Funnily enough, my nine year old granddaughter plays the guitar & writes blues songs. As you can see, we're quite a varied bunch
