A message on Swansea City Supporters Trust Facebook page, from Neil McBurnie, Oli's dad
"My son Oli has made a big impact since going on loan at Barnsley all good for his development, hopefully the Swans will get behind him and when you get a spare minute go to the Barnsley website and vote for him as their player of the year."
"He's lucky he didn't have a blow out': Cops catch Mercedes driver receiving sex act while doing 103mph"
When police drew level with the car, in Eastbourne, East Sussex, they were "surprised" to find the driver and passenger "busily engaged" in an act not mentioned in the Highway Code.
Traffic police spotted a woman performing a sex act on a driver as he sped along in a Mercedes at 103mph.
A surprised officer did a double take when he drew alongside in an unmarked car.
He forced the driver to pull over and nicked him for speeding before seizing the car in Eastbourne, East Sussex.
Traffic cops confirmed a colleague followed the Merc after clocking it at 103mph.
They tweeted: “Imagine our officer’s surprise upon drawing level with it, still at high speed, to find the driver & his lady passenger busily engaged in an act not mentioned anywhere in the Highway Code.”
It said of the driver: “He’s been reported for his speed, as well as driving without due care & attention. Plus it turned out he wasn’t insured to drive the car, so we’ve seized it. He’s probably had better nights.”
The life expectancy of pilots in action in WW1 including those in the Royal Flying Corps was only 18 hours, and they were unfortunate members of the "Suicide Club"
Fast forward to WW2 and life expectancy flying Spitfires in the Battle of Britain had risen to 4 days!!
I saw a report on Sky last night about the use of Snus, and that some players are using up to 3 pouches of Snus a game. A nicotine intake the equivalent of smoking 9 cigarettes in 90 minutes!!
One manager said, "It's absolutely rife, it's a disaster. It gives you a buzz and you've got players putting it in before and during games. Next time you're watching a game, look at how many players look like they have something behind their top lips. That's a tell-tale sign."
i must admit I had noticed this top lip protrusion lately but thought that these players were wearing gumshields, as did Sean McCarthy when he played for the Swans in the 1980's
We've all complained about the lack of penalties awarded to the Swans in recent years......
BUT....on Saturday when Jordan Ayew put away his penalty against West Ham, the Swans became Penalty Kings in the Premier League.
It was the 20th penalty the Swans had scored in the Premier League from 21 attempts...giving them a conversion rate of 95%......the best conversion rate in Premier League history.
Scott Sinclair was the only one to miss when Joe Hart saved his pen against Man City in 2012
