    On Sky Sports news saying a players metabolism changes every 7 years and players in the mid to late 20s should watch their weight!

    Not much you can say to that really!

    He said 6 months ago he was up to 151kg (almost 24st). Now back to 100kg.

    It amazes me we ever signed him in the first place. That very short sub cameo was as funny as it was grotesque. Can't recall how much Cryne confirmed me were paying him, £4-£6k a week I think it was, which shocked everyone, thinking it was a cheap punt.

    Made his name in British footy from that initial season on loan at Spurs, then lived off that small success for the remainder of his career. Wasted talent by the looks of it really. Must be hard to stomach (no pun intended!).

    It was around half of that. He's never really been on big wages as he is related to some kind of royalty in Egypt and his family has always been very wealthy. I remember him being on a grand a week at west ham and that was 2 or 3 years before we had him.

    I recall that's what many of the fans believed so weren't too bothered. Can't recall if it was a fans forum, or one of the Q&A's Patrick did, but confirmed it was much much more than that was perceived and rumoured. Just like the up front Stones fee was much much less.

    You did ask........

    The origin of the phrase 'Scarborough warning' (Scarborough Castle gatehouse)
    You may well have heard the phrase 'a Scarborough warning' and wondered at its origins and meaning.


    In April 1557, during the reign of the unpopular Catholic Queen Mary, Thomas Stafford captured Scarborough Castle in a surprise assault, when he and his men entered the castle gatehouse (pictured) on market day in disguise and overpowered the guards.


    Thomas proclaimed himself 'Protector of the Realm', and attempted to incite a revolt against the queen. The revolt failed, lasting only six days. Sir Thomas was captured and taken to Tyburn in London, where he was hanged; meanwhile, in Scarborough, his men were publicly executed, then boiled and tanned.


    But Thomas Stafford's cunning and rather devious exploits were the ideal subject for ballads and stories, and the phrase 'Scarborough warning' soon entered the lexicon. As the Bishop of Durham wrote in a letter to the Archbishop of York in January 1603:

    "When I was in the midst of this discourse, I received a message from my Lord Chamberlain, that it was his Majesty's pleasure that I should preach before him on Sunday next; which Scarborough warning did not only perplex me, but so puzzled me…"


    So a 'Scarborough warning' is an attack and a warning — but the attack comes before the warning.

    There you go...

    and I thought it was about, like, going into work on Thursday and coughing and spluttering and making out you were feeling under the weather. And after setting the scene.. having the Friday off and going up to Scarborough for the weekend... Scarborough Warning..

    I always thought a Scarborough Warning was related to the sea fog in the town. When it comes in and is really thick on the beach, but the sky is blue over the castle. Or is that a Scarborough Threat ?

    I'm thinking the boiling and tanning were probably superfluous after the initial execution. Once I'm dead, boiling me isn't going to cause any more pain, no matter how vigorously you do it, and it doesn't matter how guilty you feel for killing me and that, taking my boiled dead corpse to a tanning salon isn't going to set things straight, I'll still be pissed off, even if you light some candles and burn some incense.
