George Best 1946-2005

The only tragedy that George Best has to confront, is that he will never know how good he could have been."

I have never seen the man play, but they say he was a genius.

Robbie Williams - Advertising Space; Apt.

"There's no earthly way of knowing,
what was in your heart
when it stopped going,
the whole world shook
a storm was blowing through you
waiting for god to stop this
and up to your neck in darkness
everyone around you was corrupted
say something

there's no dignity in death
to sell the world your last breath
we're still fighting over everything you left

I saw you standing at the gates
when marlon brando passed away
you had that look upon your face
advertising space

no one learned from your mistakes
we let our prophets go to waste
all that's left in any case
is advertising space

through your eyes the world was burning
please be gentle I'm still learning
you seemed to say as you kept turning up
they poisoned you with compromise
at what point did you realise
that everybody loves your life but you...."

I read this in the New Paper today, the funniest news story in a long time.

Dumb Dumber Dumbest caught by cops.

The police in a Melbourne suburb have encountered a drink driving case so silly, they have labelled the 3 drivers Dumb Dumber Dumbest.

Dumb-a 30 year old man from the Melbourne suburb of Epping, and his friend Dumber were driving down a road in Epping last Friday night when they spotted a "booze bus" - a police van that is used for random breath testing for alcohol.

Since Dumb was drunk at the time, he decided to do a U-turn with his silver Toyota just before the stop but was stopped by the police.

Police spolesman say they saw the car do a U-turn and so they pulled him over and took the driver to the bus for the test. Dumb's alcohol readings was more than twice the legal limit.

Shortly after Dumb was ticketed, Dumber decided to take over the wheel and headed once again in the direction of the booze bus. They got pulled over and Dumber also failed his breath test with a reading that was actually higher than Dumb.

The 2 men were then taken to the Epping Police station where Dumber rang his girlfriend to pick them up. The 33 year old became Dumbest when she took the same route on the way to pick them up and was pulled over by the same booze bus. She was breathalysed and also failed.

"I thought it was madness" the police spokeman said. " They all knew the bus was there, they were like moths flocking to a bright light."
