Palacios = Gladstone Small

[maninasuitcase]

Is it me or does Palacios look like he has no neck a la Gladstone Small.

Well im obviously uncool as i didnt have a clue who Gladstone Small was, but with the help of google images i can confirm Wilson does indeed look like Gladstone Small.

Perhaps hes always on guard against vampires

Craig Bellamy is the same. I have an inherent mistrust of no-neckers. You show me a good one ?

There is a Gladstone Small joke which everyone trots out whenever his name is mentioned:

Ian Botham and David Gower are in a restaurant overseas and both decide to have the "special of the day"

This special turns out to be the local delicacy of sea turtle.

When they both order it the waiter goes to check they have enough left and returns 5 minutes later saying there is a problem and they only have 2 left but one is still alive but the chef cant coax the turtle out of his shell so he can chop his head off and cook him.

Beefy then steps up to the mark and tells the waiter he will deal with it.

The waiter tells beefy he is welcome to try - but the chef being a seasoned expert hasn't been able to sort it so doesn't think he will.

Beefy gets the turtle in one hand and with his other sticks his index finger into the rear of the turtle, the turtle then stick his head out and the chef chops it off....job done.

Amazed, the waiter asked how Beefy knew what to do

Beefy" I'm used to it .....we use the same technique to get Gladstone Smalls Bow tie on for the post match Gala's"

I just read about Gene's "Indeterminable age" on wikipedia. ;D
