Apparently he set the car running in his slightly sloped drive... took the hand brake off by accident.... then got out the car, walked round the back of the car to do something and fell over.... just in time for the car to roll over his head.



genius.

I'd like to imagine him, on the floor - he's tripped yeah, little rip in the knee sort of thing, so he's on the deck, he can see this car coming hurtling towards him and he's just lay there, locked with fear screaming "STAY NOW ..." at the car.

Genuis is right, Ronan Keating, Gary Barlow or Brian McFatten could not have done that.

Well, he had to be a genius at something, certainly wasn't music.



"....and if you ever, fall over again

you must be sure that, it's not behind a Merc convertable"



ok it doesn't scan, but it's a damn site better than anything East 17 have ever done....and I mean that Deep Deep Down

Love the 'fell over' bit, as you say, genius.

Wasn't he throwing up and then drove over himself?



Truly, the logistics are amazing.

Agreed.

Not sure if its been mentioned already but if they are doing this for 'help for heroes' which I think is a fabulous cause, how come only £5 per shirt gets donated?

Where's the other £40 (adult size) going as they probably won't cost anything near that to make.

I'd rather give the £45 straight to the charity.

Great idea from the club. I'm hoping they keep the idea for each season.

Exactly. It wouldn't be my choice of charity personally (nothing against them per se before anyone starts, but I prefer to see the club do tie ins with local charities like St. Rocco's), but irrespective of that it just smacks of an excuse to release a third kit, charging the same price as the others, but slap a token charity donation in there and watch the plaudits and sales roll in. Cynical marketing in my opinion.



If 100% of the profit was going to the charity, or the shirt was being sold at a significantly lower price (£20 maybe) then I wouldn't buy one myself but I would respect the idea in principle. As it is I don't agree with it.

You seem to be working on the assumption that those shirts are cheap to produce? I've always been told that profit margins on individual shirt sales are minimal (sorry, can't name the sources, too long ago and I forget who said it, but it's mostly from people involved with the clubs!), and the reason the shirts cost as much as £45 in the first place is because the shirts cost so much to produce.



In a limited production run like this one, the cost of production per shirt will be even higher as bulk order discounts will be less favourable/none existent.

I won't disagree with that. And on a related note, I hope everyone bought one of the scarfs?
