Do we need to replace Trident?

Shelagh and Nicky
What a dilemma and how well handled by you, guys. Chelsea FC as part of a divorce settlement. Brilliant! The travel guy played the role of regular football supporter well but it was taking the Teddy Bears to bed with you article that clinched it for me. "Taking Teddy to bed" - as Danielle Lloyd used to (allegedly) perhaps with Mr Sheringham? That when the thought began to fester.
Roman Abramovich and his wife Irina divorce! "An Inconvenient Truth" about to come out. Injunction? No. "FiveLive listeners want the truth. They couldn't handle the truth!". Apt that is paraphrase from the film "A Few Good Men". Injunction slapped on ourselves? No! A strategm. Let the fans know but gently.
That animal rights guy, Andrew came to mind when I recalled Douglas Adams "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" where it turned out the white mice were experimenting on mankind running Earth - NOT the other way around. The Guardian Unlimited piece on the Abramovichs' divorce doesn't even give Irina's her first name! That is how little she has mattered to date. How will some very macho Chelsea fans react to find out she is Mrs Big - Chelsea was just a giant "Subotio" set for Irina? A few good men indeed!
"Pieter, Didier, Frank and John, That is how you should be, Roman. Look how smart they are - how fit"
"Do you know the way to Senor Jose, Roman?" Buy "The Special One" a club to be special in. Now it is rumoured he is moving towards Spain. Hmmm
Yes Shelah and Nicky - I have been puzzling over the football club that seemingly has everything, including success and an owner that refuses to go into the changing room recently, despite winning silverware.
Nicely done - nicely done. Oh and Shelagh, I NOT a Morris Dancer lover either - but I could just be a lov...... No Paul. Don't go there! LOL
Shelagh: Grown Men Take Their Teddy Bears to Bed because it provides them security. I used to take my football flag team [La Coru~na, Celtics, Manchester United] for the same reason. On another subject, I am E Mailing you another photo of Miami Florida. Cheers Roberto
