Scorpions Announce Managerial Coup The Scorpions Football Club has just announced that they have signed former Manchester United manager Travis Webber as co-manager with their already existing manager Adem Kolar, who is a former Portsmouth and Arsenal manager himself. "This is a great moment for the Scorpions as we look towards our first season in the CPL", said Scorpions CEO Cristiano Fabregas. "We aim to be there or thereabouts at season's end." Webber himself said; "I am absolutely stoked to be a part of this fine club with such a great club culture. I can't wait to dip into the transfer market in bring in some big names to Scorpions Football Club." "We have an outrageously large transfer budget for this summer and we're aiming to spend big. I'll be working closely with Adem to bring in only the best players for this football club." Webber's co-manager Adem Kolar was unavailable for comment because he was eating fried scorpion, a Mongolian delicassy, at a local Ashfield restaurant.
Welcome to the two new Scorpions FC signings; Dani Alves from Barcelona and Sebastien Frey from Fiorentina.
I feel the Wind of Change blowing through this team with some massive Germanic superiority. Hark, is that the sound of a whistle intro? I do believe it is!
Dammit! I know that song. You had to beat me.. Your supposed to wait and give me a chance to answer you old bat. "Where the children of tomorrow dream away In the wind of change"
What were you doing the day Ceauşescu got shot? <DD>I follow the Moskva <DD>Down to Gorky Park <DD>Listening to the wind of change </DD> Gotta love German power ballads.
Apparently I was in the testicles of a hairy man, or so they say. But, if I stayed here with you, girl, Things just couldn't be the same. 'Cause I'm as free as a bird now, And this bird you can not change.
In 1989? Mind you, that's nearly 20 now. Sigh. He was a proper bastard. Worse than Frank Bananarama or even Winston Peters. Anyhoo, I was watching it on the good old BBC news. I was swanning around the South of England at the time, staying with some rellos for Christmas before planning the next stage of the big European tour. Heady days; the fall of the Berlin Wall only shortly before but even then I didn't expect Ceausescu to go. They showed him (and his wife) being shot on the BBC 6 o'clock news (presented by Nicholas Witchell and Sue Lawley, I suspect). I remember thinking it was a momentous event at the time. Nothing equally momentous has happened since, though my mum tried to convince me that Diana dying was important. Can't see how the death of a self-gratifying oxygen thief is that important myself.
Yes the Diana "tradegy" really hasn't rubbed off too well on me either. I fail to see such importance in the death of a self-proclaimed born-with-power blonde and it's significance.
Yet I do remember the day that Diana had an unfortunate run in with a concrete support pillar. I always used to think that someone had attempted surgery on her nose using only a concrete support pillar as a tool, so I personally found it quite amusing that she met her end in such a way. I was asleep in bed when the phone rang. It was a mate of mine called Robert (as an aside, I haven't seen Robert in about 7 years. Hopefully not due to the fact I diverted the traffic from his road round his semi-circular driveway after a particularly drunken night at around about 7 years ago) who simply rang to tell me Diana had died. After a bit of swearing and cursing from yours truly complaining about being woken up in the early afternoon, I hung up and went to sleep again feeling mostly non-plussed.
Put simply, Hybrid... Back in 1989, the Iron Curtain was collapsing all across Eastern Europe. The Berlin Wall separating East and West Berlin was smashed down and people streamed through Checkpoint Charlie from East to West. Not long after, Nicolae Ceausescu, despot of Communist Romania was overthrown and executed. To cash in on these momentous events, a German band - The Scorpions - wrote a song using the old Harold Macmillan cliche Wind of Change. This enabled them to rake in vast amounts of money as they caught the Zeitgeist and sent the song surging to number one across Europe. That, and the fact that a group of German Power Balladeers are significantly greater than the abhorrent soccer team you have picked so far.
