Slow news day eh? It has all gone rather quiet.

It usually means quite a lot is going on in the background when it goes ominously quiet. Nothing about Reilly either! We may hear good news next week. Or then again we may hear nothing!

It's like an old fashioned Western. Somebody says to Alan Ladd, "it's all gone mighty quiet" and next second an arrow thuds into the middle of his chest.

My mums favourite was Alan Ladd,
He was a bit on the short side and used to stand on a box in some of his scenes, so me mum said

Or they dug a hole for his leading ladies to stand in, allegedly.

Audie Murphy is the best cowboy ever IMO. So given the choice between him and Alan Ladd for our next manager I'd go with Audie every time.
And don't forget Audie Murphy has been To Hell And Back so managing the Villa should be a breeze.

The General would love him, highly decorated war hero would be right up his street. Being dead for over 40 years should be no barrier to convincing Lerner he is the right man.

We'd probably need to add a clairvoyant to the back office team so that Randy could have his 3 chat a week with the manager.

Audie Murphy would certainly keep General Krulak up to the mark. Audie did not have enough space on his uniform for all his WW2 medals.

At one stage, wasn't Audie Murphy America's most decorated soldier?  I loved his films when I was a kid.  He had a very sorry ending didn't he?

I thought it was suicide.  Wasn't he charged/under suspicion for murder?  I'll have to look it up.

Nope, just looked him up.  Buried with full military honours.  No mention of  anything untoward.  How I got that into my head has to be filed with all the rest of the shit I sometimes post.

I think it was Dr Crippen you were thinking of Dave.
