Thanks MVP and ladies: honoured I am to have such esteemed company in the PR thread. Sarong-wearing tall poppy now has explanatory footnotes. And Michael Owen is now only once a teenage sensation.

Re: post 12 (sorry I seem to have missed that).

The Entry says "His death was the only football-related fatality of France ’98." Post 12 says that "German hooligans nearly beat a French policemen to death." Do you know if the French policeman has died, or if he remains "nearly" dead?

Thanks.

Sorry, misunderstanding of 'fatality' on my part. smiley - blush

He survived and is still alive, if only just, and is massively handicapped.

That is unfortunate. It adds perspective I see but I will not detract from the death of Mnsr. Lentin in the entry.

Unless as maybe the case, your French policeman was just one example of a number of acts of violence some of which did end in recorded fatalities?

It's the only one I can remember. I guess it was the only one discussed here at the time. I hadn't heard of the case you mention before. As I said, it was my wrong understanding of the word fatality, so there's no need for you to alter anything after all, except if somebody recalls other deaths as a result of the tournament.

Thank you thank you. I'd do a lap of honour if I could, but failing that I'll just have a lap dance.
