Who/What Are You Following?

Remarkable story:

67-year-old Sabine Moreau originally planned to drive 38 miles to Solre-sur-Sambre in Belgium to pick up a friend from the station, the Daily Mail reports, but when her sat-nav decided to take the scenic route, she ended up some 900 miles away in Zagreb, Croatia.
Such was her faith in the sat-nav, she failed to realise she had driven through six countries with different languages on the road signs. She stopped multiple times to refuel and, incredibly, even parked up in a lay-by for a few hours to sleep. When asked whether the length of her journey seemed strange, Moreau said: "Maybe, but I was just preoccupied... I was a bit absent-minded as I had a few things to think about, I suppose."
It's too nice a day to spend ages on a computer unpacking this particular parable......

The Transfer Window is Still Open

One head coach is apparently still looking for new players, of any ability and background.

The full transfer price has already been paid up front. There are no hidden charges, intermediaries or agents fees.

All kit is provided, including footwear.

The coach has a keen eye for potential, watching all prospective players from their first kick. He knows their game inside out, even how they think, and knows exactly which part in the team they would be best in.

The team goal is world domination, but oddly enough, losing is one of the key team tactics, and is surprisingly effective.

All team members are signed up for life, there's even a chance to become immortals of the game.

Full-time one to one mentoring is provided by the team captian, however there is a large amount of group work, much of it in groups of two or three, which the captain personally attends.

The opportunity is open until the final whistle. However, nobody, not even the team captian, knows when that will sound.

PS Apologies to those who've already had enough of cheesy football metaphors.
