An OK Weekend

Monday, December 18th, 2006 | Dean Saliba Dot Com with No Comments »

I was dropped from Acton Town’s starting line up for the first time in three seasons on Saturday. The excuse I was given was that since I had played in almost every game since I joined them (I missed one a couple of months ago) that it was time for me to have a rest.

I did not even get to play as I forgot my shinpads and no one would let me borrow theirs, not even the guys that had already been subbed. So I had to stand on the touchline in the freezing cold and try and stop Jayson’s dad from starting various punch ups with the opposition’s manager.

At one point I had to be stopped from venturing onto the pitch and thumping one of my own team mates. He was fouled and instead of giving the bloke a bit of verbal he decided to SPIT at him, that is one thing that makes my blood boil! I fully expect him to be diciplined by the club - the dirty bastard!

I went to The Hayfield with Reiss in the evening. We were joined by Adrian, his brother Mark and Jen. Reiss decided that coming to the pub with me was a better option than going to some Irish folk dancing thingy.

Reiss got me an awesome Bullseye poster which is going up on my wall.

It was actually an OK night, until Adrian decided to go and be a dickhead and offended Jen. I took him to one side and told him to calm down and he actually did for a couple of hours but then he went and offended Jen again so I had another word with him and got him to apologise.

I wanted something to eat and Jen showed me some curry place and I bought a nice-looking chicken curry, when I got home the cartons were leaking over the kitchen counter and I was left with a bright yellow stain which is still not coming out even now.

I managed not to offend Jen so that was a good night.

Mum Sues Over Ruined Nude Pics!

Tuesday, December 12th, 2006 | Dean Saliba Dot Com with No Comments »

A German woman is suing a foster agency, after her teenage foster son ruined valuable naked photos of her - by comitting an act of self-love all over them.

Marietta Anton, 50, who now lives in Portugal’s Algarve, was 25 when she was photographed naked by her boyfriend at the time, Sigmar Polke. After they split Polke went on to become a world famous artist, and the old pictures were valued at over £35,000.

But when Anton’s 15-year-old foster son Mehmet found the old snaps, he thought he had unearthed a secret porn stack, and proceeded to do what teenage boys will do.

Immigration Forced Soular To Cancel Their UK Tour

Monday, December 11th, 2006 | Music with 2 Comments

Prior to American band Soular’s much anticpiated 9-date UK tour, and after travelling for nearly 24 hours, guitarist Brian Lee was denied entry into the UK on October 20th forcing the band to cancel their tour before it had even begun.

Immigration officials at Heathrow Airport would not let Lee into the country due to the fact that he did not have his return ticket to the US with him.

His return ticket was with lead singer Marsh Shamburger, who Immigration officials had already accepted into the UK, and refused to allow Shamburger to come back through and hand over Lee’s returning ticket.

Because Lee did not have this return ticket on him the officials came to the conclusion that he intended to illegally seek work in the country.
