Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

Ronaldo Unpimps His Ride

You're looking at the remains of Cristiano Ronaldo's Ferrari, which he crashed into tunnel near Manchester airport earlier today. But no worries - Skippy as usual escaped real harm and hitched a ride in Edwin van der Sar's Bentley - really, I can't make this stuff up - and later participated in training.

I read that he walked away unscathed and won't miss being in the starting 11 this weekend.

There's a lot of carbon-fibre in the shell of a Ferrari and the aftermath of a prang of any consequence looks bloody awful.


Fortunately, Ferrari designs their sportscars so that in city driving conditions, the front end crumples against itself and protects the driver from crush injury. At really high speeds of course, just the kinetic energy of the crash causes massive trauma.

The tall one from Top Gear always praises the Italians for knowing that the kind of prat that drops $400K on a car will prang it.

I knew Top Gear was a great show.

I think he may be in trouble with his speed but it wasn't drinking.

Let's hope he CRASHES Chelski's defense!!!
Let's hope Chelski's defense crumbles!!!

Cristiano's car is like his recent free kicks -- no bend, just straight into the wall!
