I'm Gonna Get Myself Arrested
It's not April the first is it ? I was bloody sure it was when I read about the 'wisecracking parrot'. I always believed that parrots and the like merely reproduced the sounds they heard regularly around them ? Am I now supposed to believe that this bird not only has a vocabulary of nearly 1,000 words, but can also form sentences with them that show an almost human understanding of what's going on around it ?This is the second parrot story to hit the headlines in the past few weeks. Winston's foul-mouthed feathered friend was subsequently exposed for the imposter he was. It can't be long before N'Kisi and his headline-grabbing entourage are denounced as charlatans also.
After yet another gutless second half performance in front of the BBCs cameras on Sunday, City now have the lure of playing the PLC brand known as 'Man U' in the next round of the cup. If that prospect doesn't fire 'em up then nothing will.
Note to self: When an odious client expresses the opinion that, in his view, the company you work for has "made him look a twat", don't reply thus:
"No we haven't. You've always looked a twat."
