Dale Wimps out of Self-Flagellation
Last night Dizzy bet me a tenner I couldn't mention the phrase "self-flagellation" during my interview on the Today programme this morning. He was right. Despite spotting an opportunity, I wimped out. Shame on me.
It's pathetic Iain when you think about it - the esteemed captain of our national football side can usually be relied upon to utter his stock two word phrase at least 15 times during a 3 minute interview and you couldn't manage it once. If this wasn't worth a tenner, money must come your way very easily!

ReplyDeleteDear Ian
ReplyDeleteBravo, Ian, there are great military virtues in Cowardice, on suitabgle (especially very public) occasions
My late mother used to say :
"He who fights and runs away lives to fight another day"
Is the £10 tax-deductible (or tax-deductable, as many of your fans would spell it) ?
