WHY?

OK, OK, ignore everything so far, forget all that's gone before; this, this is what this blog is for. To delve into impenetrable mysteries. To muse over abstract anomalies. To ponder the imponderables.

Like this:


This pizza menu delivered through my door today. Why does it have a picture of the England football team on it? I have scoured the inside, but it's just a normal pizza menu in there, no Match-night Specials of the 'buy four kebabs get a sick bag free' variety, no football themed pizza toppings (Beckham and mushroom perhaps, ho ho ho), no rhyme and no reason. If it was the Italian team I could just about understand, or perhaps if they were all tucking in to some delicious pizza - but no. just this.


Perhaps it's just a very bad attempt at subliminal advertising. Buy pizza...pizza make you happy...like football...buy pizza...become Wayne Rooney...no I'm not getting it. Perhaps this is just a warning of the madness to come, an omen, - soon footballers will be on all pizza menus for no reason, not to mention breakfast cereals, crisp packets, drinks cartons, newspapers, fast food promotions, buses, billboards, newspapers, office conversations and in the minds and hearts of all true englishmen. *sigh*


If anyone can help - if I'm missing something, if it's a blokey football thing i don't know about, please tell me, I'll feel a bit dumb but it's a small price to pay to sleep peacefully again.
