OFFSIDE OFFSIDE A cock and ball story
A diffi cult topic to report, this one, but it appears that parks in Melbourne, Australia have a very specifi c problem that can only be seen from space. They’ve all got giant (ahem) todgers drawn on them.
Three separate parks in the northeast of the city have been adorned with phallic glyphs
that can be seen on Google Maps.
Reddit user u/adrianmtb was the fi rst to report the mysterious symbols before it was quickly picked up by local media. The giant phalli have been compared to Peru’s famous Nazca Lines - ancient symbols that can only be appreciated from space. It was said that they were drawn to please the gods looking down on the Earth.
Quite what any god would make of these eff orts though, I am not sure. Perhaps she would like to enlighten us?
Fricken hell!
A Florida man is facing losing his home after racking up fi nes of almost $30,000 for letting his grass grow too long!
Jim Fricken has been fi ned $500 a day in code violations, for nearly 60 days, by the city of Dunedin, for tall grass when his lawn grew taller than 10-inches last summer. The city is now foreclosing on his home.
The problems fi rst began in 2015, when his mother fell ill and he began making trips to South Carolina. He enlisted the help of a local man to keep the lawn maintained during this time, but he died unexpectedly.
The city of Dunedin is now pursuing Fricken for a fi ne total of $29,833 on his home, which has a market value of $125,541.
Coming to a care home near you?
Clock Cricket has been created by Richard Hill, the England and Wales Cricket Board’s (ECB) Disability Cricket Support Offi cer. The goal is to encourage the less able or active to take up a physical activity or try something new.
Its ingenuity lies partly in that Clock Cricket is a simple format played indoors with a foam bat and a sponge ball that has a metal rattle in so it can be tracked by those hard of hearing.
Richard said; “There is a bit of naughtiness to it. As a child, you are told not to play ball games indoors. But Clock Cricket is designed to be played inside and you get the ball being hit off the ceiling, off the walls, off the furniture and, quite often, off each other. But, because it’s made of sponge, no- one gets hurt and everyone has a laugh.”
The game is being trialed, to rave reviews from residents in North Herts and Yorkshire.
160 PC June/July 2019 Silverstone sink hole
Silverstone Golf Club’s Deputy Head Greenkeeper, Lorraine Sands, had a lucky escape when a sink hole opened up whilst she was mowing on a Jacobsen 5111.
“We’ve been over this hundreds of times, then suddenly, down she goes,” commented Course Manager Tony Hunter.
The incident, posted on Facebook, received its usual share of comments, including; “women drivers eh!” and “we had a 5111 which would have been better for all if it had sunk without trace!”
Divine intervention?
The Premier Soccer League (PSL) is the national sports association responsible for administering the two professional football divisions in South Africa; the South African Premier Division and National First Division.
But relegation from one to the other is a costly business. Just ask Free State Stars, who have confi rmed an exodus of staff - from the head coach Nikola Kavazović to their groundsman - in an eff ort to make ends meet next season.
All but fi ve players have also been given the ‘boot’, but even they are attracting interest from Premier Division sides.
The club play at the 35,000 capacity Charles Mopeli Stadium not far from Bethlehem. Perhaps some divine intervention is required?
