In the spirit expressed on another thread of livening up the BBS by talking about wider issues, did you lot here about Wayne Carey? I'm guessing not (but apologies if this was discussed a couple of weeks ago, I'm on holiday and haven't been keeping track).

Wayne Carey was Captain of the Aussie Rules team the Kangaroos and is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in AFL history. He's only 30 and should in theory be at the peak of his powers. Big star over here, million dollar salary plus sponsorships etc. Anyway, it seems that part of his pre-season training has involved some extensive aerobic activity with the vice-captain's wife, who also happens to be his best mate.

Result? Carey has quit the Kangaroos. Unfortunately, he is not allowed to play for another team as the rosters for the coming season have been finalised. He can't be transferred to another team and there seems to be no prospect of him playing for the Kangaroos again.

Wonder how a premiership club would have handled the situation? Presumably by transferring one or other of the players involved, but as Aussie Rules isn't played anywhere else that's not an option. Almost makes you feel sorry for the bloke......

what do you expect though? he spends his life running around with an ovary shaped ball in tight shorts! it was bound to happen sooner or later :-)

exotic aerobics? I thought he sh%gged her? I have zero sympathy, brought him down a peg or two when pre season his entire team was in mutiny saying they wouldn't play with him, hence resignation, it's one up for average people (yes yes I know I should know!!;->)

Perhaps we can ask Kevin Philips and Chris Mackin their opinions?

Chris who?

Wasn't that the feller alleged to have been 'intimate' with Kev's wife?

I assume we aren't talking about the Archbishop of Canterbury here?

On the basis that Wayne Carey is probably a big nasty bugger - I don't suppose he could play centre-half for the Toon?

ps: when I saw this thread title I was praying it was a competition!!

You may be good, clarky, but there's no way I'm paying you more than the £50 we agreed at the outset...

I heard the rest of the team was asked if he should resign and they said no. Bit of a shitter for the vise captain to see his team mates side with the fella who boned his missus. Anyhow, didn't a similar thing happen with Cantona shagging Lee Chapmans wife - Lesley Ash.

Indeed (allegedly) - so this Aussie is destined for a career of upturned collars, unintelligable commentary and bit-parts in films

Hmmm - with a name like Wayne Carey, I'm surprised he had the energy.

I don't think I'd enjoy a shag knowing how much it was costing me, can we haggle first?

If you look at this from another point, a million dollars is only 300,000 quid.

If Gav had to lose that much for a shag he would only have to give up drinking for a week.

Sting - a much more difficult question than I would have imagined, but that could just be my age.

As I'm still contemplating Gav suffocating in LDM's cleavage, she has to be a 'firm' candidate with an amazing chassis - however, I'd be worried about how many different diseases I might contract that I then couldn't afford to have treatment for.

The object of Robert Redford million bucks in the film on this very subject would be another 'outstanding' candidate - is a picture emerging of my personal proclivities?

On a more cerebral level, I oft fancied taking a dink at Sue Lawley, and sadly- departed Jill Dando, and Felicity Kendall were former desires - however, they're either no longer with us or too old now to waste the precious Viagra on.

Decisions, decisions - I'll just have to give in to my repressed, baser desires in a real flight of both fancy and fantasy, and plump for giving Lara Croft a costly tantric howking (technical term)!

Sounds to me as though Clarky's ID has been nicked and is being used maliciously to blacken his character! Either that or he's opened the wrong bottle and taken viagra instead of his Phylosan this morning. I think we should be told.
