Not really an elephant in the room is it?

The situation is dead and buried... Instead of the looking to past we need to look forward, preferably in the same direction.

I may be looking at this all wrong but in my opinion there's no offence here!

She's admitted she lied about her age, he met her in an over 18's only nightclub where one could reasonably assume she'd been ID'd by security before gaining entry! What has the guy done wrong?

This could have happened to any single one of us! How many times have you met a girl on a night out and asked her to produce a form of ID before you take her home?!?

Quoted from Shilts
Jolly sound great and is making all the right noises but the knockers will pick up on that old court case of his, the Lincoln forum is already full of it.

As luck would have it I have a mate who works a Falkirk uni (where jolly worked when the incident happened), he did me some digging and below is his reply.

I'm actually delighted as even through this incident Jolley comes out smelling of roses with people singing his praises.

THE REPLY:

I've spoken to Barbara about your new manager and the verdict is in. I'm sorry to say that according to Barbara... he's ace. I just mentioned him to her and she basically gushed for 10 mins. I said 'why dont you get a room with him' but then remembered that Barbara's not 15.

She said that that thing was really unlucky as he rarely went out drinking and he just got framed by a local chav. He was on his masters course and teaching here at the same time and apparently he was acing it getting 80s before the uni dropped him. By this point he was already a super impressive economist and trader who'd given it all up because of his love of football. It's crazy (and obviously great) that clubs at our level are now going for intellectual managers as opposed to just Chris Sutton or Sol Campbell.

I reckon if he can keep your rabble up this year, then you'll do well next year.

He was at Stirling University not Falkirk, my daughter is studying at Stirling at the minute.

And the only reason he was done for it was because they abused him verbally and attacked him with a bottle so he called the police. Somehow that ended up with him being arrested,put on probation and the sex offenders register for one year even though the girl admitted she lied about her age. I imagine a lot more than these teenage parasites got for a punishment.

It was that long ago that I was a teenager I can not remember much,

I do remember I was attracted to older girls though,( older than me )  

So never in trouble in that way.

I  can see why some lads are taken in because a lot of 15 year olds do look 19.

Having read MJ's statement on this, there is no room let alone a flipping elephant.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I used to keep a photocopy of ID of all the lucky ladies I brought back home for my records but I found out I was breaching the data protection act so had to bin the sheet. I mean er... filing cabinet.
