Olafur Gottskalksson

What a strange Icelandic name. There is something stranger about his story though. He was a professional footballer with a decent career. He was even capped for Iceland. He was about 35 and playing second fiddle for Torquay United when the drug testers came.

His was the random player to be tested but he refused. He then asked to see the list of banned substances. He then ran away, he disappeared and left Torquay and his life and girlfriend behind.

Check him out on Wikipedia.

Warning - some loser does something

I was sent this link by Bren a few days ago and I dismissed it at first but it just came back to me as I was checking the news on Sky News.

I really dislike (I'm avoiding the word hate) so called comedians who stage stunts like this. It just annoys me because it is such attention seeking nonsense.

It reminds me of the 'comedy terrorist' Aaron Barschak. Don't worry the article I've linked to is by Jon Ronson so it will be intriguing

Confusing Racism Story

Some stories make little or no sense, and this one is very strange. How about you both shut up!
