But I Think Fulham Forgot to Pay Their 'Leccy Bill.

Once upon a time far, far away in this great continuum known as time Manchester United attempted to play an English Premier League game against Fulham at their home ground "Craven Cottage." At the stroke of the 43rd minute one of the naughty red shirts stepped up to take a corner kick when all of sudden the flood lights went out. Then after a moment of confusion the lights suddenly came back on so the same player stepped up to take Man U's corner once again. And once again the flood lights went out. The referee then ordered the players off the pitch and back to their dressing rooms. There then followed about ten minutes of cheap filler while someone at the ground sat with his hand on the Milgram like dial playing "Lights go up. Lights go down." Eventually the players returned to the feild to play the remaining 2 minutes + stoppage time (1 min) before going off for half time. After the regulation 15 mins they returned to play a totally uneventful second half in which I believe Wayne Rooney scored Man U's winner although by that point I was far too busy punching a Jack Russell in the face.

Basically there's lots of really interesting things going with 'Chinese hacking issues' so this was Britain attempting to force itself into those conversations by bringing up the spate of flood light failures in the 1997/8 season of the English Premier League that was eventually traced back to a betting syndicate in Singapore.

In order to make it relevant I've been down to Brighton. After arriving back at my mates we proceeded to sit down very quietly with some tobacco, some rolling papers and a herbal substance of questionable legality. Eventually he decided to tell me about how he got rid of all the rubble from his garden after the local council served him with some sort of Environmental Nuisance notice. I think it had something to do with a lorry, a skip and a painful degree of money but as he was drawing this out to me on his iPad we quickly got lost in "Shade goes up. Shade goes down."
