WHEN I was a young lad, one of my favourite comic strips was The Numbskulls. It was in the Beezer I think, though I've a sneaking feeling they staged a comeback, a la Take That, in the Beano some years later.
Anyway, the basic idea was that there was this bloke who, instead of being full of organs, intestines and blood like the rest of us, was full of little people called the numbskulls, who fulfilled all his bodily functions.
So there were numbskulls shovelling food through his stomach; numbskulls pumping blood round his body; and more of the little blighters operating his brain and running messages up and down his body so that he could move around without falling over.
I REMEMBER the days when following a football team was so simple. Before the days of wall-to-wall television coverage; before that interweb thingy was invented; before Radio 5 Live interrupted Sports Report to broadcast live commentary on Portsmouth versus Wigan.
All you had to do was pick up your morning paper, turn to the back page and devour the latest news and reports, reading the paper from back to front (if you got that far).
Nowadays I have to order the Financial Times and the Economist to keep abreast of takeovers, accounts, ownership structures, credit crunches and leveraged buy-outs.
