I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH GARY LINEKER

y'know, i went to school with gary lineker.

i don't suppose that means all that much, i mean, lots of kids went to school with him, i know, i saw a lot of them.

except i remember one day, for some reason, me and gary decided to have this race, like, around the total edge of the school, all the way round.

you have to understand, at that time he was this spindly little kid who, to me, seemed about half-size, with spindly little legs like a crane fly.

well we ran from about half-way through the playground (the older kids bit) and through the spinney and then round the infant school and then back through the other half of the playground (for the younger kids).

some kids were waiting for us at the finish line but i don't remember anything about them. anyway, gary won by about a football pitch and a half.

except i didn't want to tell you about that bit, i wanted to tell you that my dad now sometimes plays chess with the teacher who taught gary lineker how to play football.

small world?

1 et praeparavit Dominus piscem grandem ut degluttiret Ionam et erat Iona in ventre piscis tribus diebus et tribus noctibus
2 et oravit Iona ad Dominum Deum suum de utero piscis
3 et dixit clamavi de tribulatione mea ad Dominum et exaudivit me de ventre inferni clamavi et exaudisti vocem meam
4 et proiecisti me in profundum in corde maris et flumen circumdedit me omnes gurgites tui et fluctus tui super me transierunt
5 et ego dixi abiectus sum a conspectu oculorum tuorum verumtamen rursus videbo templum sanctum tuum
6 circumdederunt me aquae usque ad animam abyssus vallavit me pelagus operuit caput meum
7 ad extrema montium descendi terrae vectes concluserunt me in aeternum et sublevabis de corruptione vitam meam Domine Deus meus
8 cum angustiaretur in me anima mea Domini recordatus sum ut veniat ad te oratio mea ad templum sanctum tuum
9 qui custodiunt vanitates frustra misericordiam suam derelinquunt
10 ego autem in voce laudis immolabo tibi quaecumque vovi reddam pro salute Domino
11 et dixit Dominus pisci et evomuit Ionam in aridam
