Chris Benoit 1967 – 2007

I heard the news late last night that Chris Benoit and his family had been found dead at their home.
For those who don’t know, Benoit was a professional wrestler with The WWE. His career stretched over 22years and he was an all time great. He was one of my personal favourites growning up!

The worst thing is at this point in time, it seems as if it was a double murder – suicide. Obviously more details will come out in time. But Chris Benoit will be missed by all wrestling fans young and old.

RIP Chris Benoit

**EDIT** Now that the full graphic details of this tragedy have came out, I have lost nearly all my respect for Benoit the Man, whoever, I will leave the tribute here to Benoit the Wrestler, he is still one of the greatests ever!

I just feel for a man who must have been in such a depressed state that he saw no other way!

How Many at a Home Game?

I was just reading on bbc.co.uk about Mike Ashley’s proposed take over of Newcastle Utd, He has bought Freddie Shepherds shares, taking himself to 70+% ownership of the club. However that isn’t what grabbed my attention, as you may or may not know, St James’ Park (newcastles home ground) has a capacity of little of 52000 people.

However, according to the bbc, it’s over 60000.

“The club, famous for its black and white strip and Magpies nickname, has sell-out crowds of more than 60,000 at most home games”

Britain HAS Got Talent!

Not that I usually watch reality tv, but I saw this on saturday night and it really really made me laugh!!!
If anyone can watch this and not even crack a smile, they dont have a sense of humour!

I’m still here…

Just a quick note, Sorry I’ve been away for ages! I will be back properly in the next fews days. I havent been around for a while because, firstly my site was brought down by people miss using the virtual barbershop! and secondly, it seems some Telephone Companies and ISP’s aren’t interested in keeping customers!

BT reckoned I hadn’t paid them, and told AOL that I wouldn’t be using my broadband on this number again and to disconnect it! I have subsequently got my phone back on and then I’m waiting for AOL to reactivate my broadband again. But they have given me free dial up!!! until then. woo hoo.

Once my broadband is back up I will be posting lots more and I will have new content etc…

Thanks for reading and please come back soon
