    Why, in your opinion, is Debbie Harry a “slag”?

    Before joining Blondie Debbie Harry was a groupie of repute.

     

    Slept with members of whatever bands were in New York at the time, three or four in a bed were not uncommon events.

     

    She eventually bedded the record producer who offered her the chance to front Blondie.

     

    The rest is history.

     

    The source was an original article in GQ magazine, or some other lads mag, in which Debbie Harry was quoted as saying it was a lifestyle choice for which she had no regrets.

    15m is Barcas offer for Gini? Tell 'em they're dreamin'.

    According to today’s Sunday Mirror, they have offered £10M and we are asking for £15M.

     

     

    One of the Saturday rags claimed John Henry is unhappy at the prospect of keeping Ginni for another year before he is released on a free.

     

     

    If these reports are true it looks like the transfer is imminent.

     

     

    Considering Pogba cost £80m, Barca are getting a bargain.

    Chill out Skippy, if Rico hasn't got a couple of Pheasants in the freezer the guests will have to settle for Beef Wellington wont they?  Beef Wellington incidentally is named after the duke of Wellington, so named because he insisted on wearing Wellies in his war with the frogs.

    Not true.

     

    He was made Duke of Wellington after his victory at Waterloo.

     

    The Wellington in question was a small market town in the West Country with which the Duke had no connection what so ever. To accept the title he had to be a Duke of somewhere, the town was chosen at random.

     

    The Duke was unimpressed by grand titles following his difficult relationships with Portuguese and Spanish allies during the Peninsular Campaign who exalted in grandiose appendages to their names. The choice of Wellington was a private joke, a one fingered gesture to his former allies.

     

    The Duke never wore dominatrix style willies when on campaign in India, Portugal or Spain. He found them uncomfortable in hot climates and wore sturdy, infantry style boots instead. He did wear his famous boots at Waterloo simply because he left his usual footwear in the UK.

     

    The source of pointless trivia is Elizabeth Longford’s, Wellington: the Years of the Sword.
