Something for the weekend Sir?

Friend of a friend of a friend sent me a joke:

I went to visit Ryan Giggs at his country retreat.
As I was pulling into his drive I caught a glimpse of his horse as it flashed past my car, sprinting away from the barn at top speed.

I ran to the door and shouted, "Come quickly Ryan, we'd better go and catch your horse. It's just bolted".
"Give me a couple of minutes", he replied as he strode out of the house, "I'll just go and close the barn door."

Anyone got any idea what it might be referring to?

So, now that Giggs has been 'outed' does that mean that the 'married actor' is out of the heat, or will he be the next to have his name splashed across the papers in the next couple of days?

Difficult one to call - but I think the big issue here is that we have seen a large number of footballers who clearly want to have their cake and eat it.

I believe the public psyche dislikes seeing such antics from people who are considered to be overpaid, arrogant and think that they are beyond the reach of the law etc. As such, there is a collective determination to bring them back down to earth.

I blame it on their respective wives.

Similarly...

Imogen Thomas' singing career seems to be finally taking off after doing gigs in Manchester.
