Things Are Not Always What They Seem

It seems we are still no nearer discovering who will be the next prime minister so to take your mind off the subject here's a lovely little tale........


The Hull City Manager flies to Afghan to watch a young footballer play football, is suitably impressed and arranges for him to come over.

Two weeks later Hull City are 4 - 0 down to Chelsea and with only 20 minutes left, the manager gives the young Afghani striker the nod and on he goes.

The lad is a sensation, scores five goals in 20 minutes and wins the game for Hull City. The fans are delighted, the players and coach are delighted and the media love the new star.

When the player comes off the pitch he phones his mum to tell her about his first day in English football.

"Hello Mum," he says, "Guess what! I played for twenty minutes today and we were 4 - 0 down, but I scored five and we won! Everybody loves me - the fans, the media, they all love me!"

"Wonderful," says his mum, "Let me tell you about my day. Your father got shot in the street and robbed, your sister and I were ambushed, gang raped and beaten, and your brother has joined a gang of looters and all the while you were having a great time!"

The young lad is very upset."What can I say mum? I'm really sorry!"

"Sorry?!!! Sorry?!!!" says his mum. "It's your bloody fault we came to Hull in the first place!"
