He could help guide Archer with his experience, little instructions like " Don't stand so close to me"

As an aside, what a horrible noncey song that is. Prince Andrew would be proud.

I've never listened past the chorus, but given the stalker sentiment of "Every breath" it's no surprise.

I am however a bit obsessed with "When the world is running down.." off that album

Apparently when talking about the song he said: "His recollection was that he'd "been through the business of having 15-year-old girls fancying me - and my really fancying them! How I kept my hands off them I don't know."

Strange how some people in showbiz can get away with it and others get slaughtered.

[Bad English]

Birmingham Mail....Gabby thinks...

Lost me at that point.

It's a very rickety bridge male teachers can sometimes find themselves on.  In his first job after leaving uni, my son was presented with a letter from a fourteen-year-old; I think she was, listing all the things she would like him to do to her. 

We asked did he present it to the principal? To which he replied ' straight away, let them deal with it '.  IIRC her parents were called in.

It's a pity he couldn't keep it, he could have filed it alongside the note he got from a mother of a kid at his next school (he only did a year at the first) asking for her son to be excused from games lessons as 'he had been shot on his way home the day before'.

No to Bale for me. He was largely a waste of time at Tottenham 2 years ago, including coming on as a sub when they were 3-0 up, wasting a chance and then seeing the opposition pull it back to 3-3 all within about 20 mins if i remember correctly. He's just a fucking poser these days for the most part.

I'd agree that I don't think we should go for him; very expensive and openly admitted he's basically just keeping ticking over for the world cup. His time at Spurs wasn't a complete disaster though. 16 goals in 34 games is pretty good going, especially when you consider most of those were subs (he averaged a goal every 100mins or so).

[Clark W Griswold]

To be fair I didn’t realise he’d scored that many, I only watched a few times and he generally looked like he was just muddying the waters a bit from an attacking sense. Must have done better in the games I didn’t watch then :-)
Still a no though !

[tomd2103]

Birmingham Mail with an article that Gabby thinks we should sign Bale. Quality player but not sure he’s the right fit

I just don't think he would be capable of playing on anywhere near a regular basis anymore.  Probably needs to be a bit part player in a less demanding league and the MLS might be a good fit.  Plenty of golfing opportunities in the US.as well!!

[pauliewalnuts]

Bale is a very talented footballer, but his attitude is absolutely awful.

If he can't be overly fucked about Real Madrid ('Golf, Wales, Madrid in that order' - that sort of thing) then imagine what he'd be like coming here.

He also looked totally unbothered on loan back at Spurs.

[algy]

I'm also in the "Bale - No" camp.  Not sure he's got much motivation left for the club game, and he doesn't play in a position we particularly need a player in.
