come on North America... we're all supposed to be thinking in terms of tasty tuck and relaxing evening while you guys still have shift to put in.... what do you all say? Or do I detect - because it is football - an attitude of "overseas dons' game" lurking
there in the background?
Whether you want to play or not, please don't let Ms Negative (aka Sarah) have the last word, here.

Good Man, Ken!!!!
i'll register, naturally.
But name-wise, are we bound by ODG? Can't we just go with any old name?
If not... Official Distraction (for) Goons would be my way of keeping the ball in motion.

Dear All
I hope Jason will forgive the topic drift, but I would like to let you all know that my colleague, Colm McGrath, has set up an "ODG" fantasy football league on the official English Premier League website. The season's start is just a couple of days away, so
if you would like to play just click on the link below, register on the site, and select your team:
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/my-leagues/338180/join/?autojoin-code=815260-338180.
The link will take you directly to the "ODG" league. Registration is quick, easy and free. The biggest challenge is to select your squad of 15 players, and to find a suitable name for them. (No pun too corny to be rejected.)
We are also looking for a rather more exciting name for the league than simply "ODG", so please send in your suggestions if you have any. To get the ball rolling, I will suggest "Old Duffers' Graveyard".
I hope some of you will be persuaded to play along - if you are, then please remember to enter your team before the big kick-off.
Best wishes
Ken
