While away on England Under-21 duty, Paul Gascoigne says Julian Dicks kept him awake all night, constantly trying to persuade him to sneak out to a pub.
Gazza insists he did not even want to go, but Dicks went on and on and would not let him sleep.
So the next day, Gazza decided to get his own back. He went out and bought some fireworks, waited until Dicks was asleep, then crept into his bathroom and lit what he described as a big banger.
The explosion, Gazza says, was incredible. He then ran into Dicks’ room shouting, “Evacuate, evacuate, evacuate!”
Dicks leapt out of bed and ran straight into the hotel corridor completely naked, convinced the place was about to blow up.
Gazza then locked him outside, leaving hotel staff and other guests coming out to find a terrified Julian Dicks standing there with absolutely nothing on.
You'll want to be sitting down for this bit.
Water companies are currently £82.7 billion in debt, have paid themselves £85 billion in dividends, leak over a trillion of litres of water per year, dump sewage for almost 4 million hours per year, have been convicted of over 1,200 criminal acts since 1989 and an average of 35% of your bill goes on nothing but paying more interest and yet more dividends.
And not a single company has ever lost their operating licence. 👇

@0contextrovers How are lower league clubs suppose to develop and keep hold of young players, when premier league clubs can come in, flash loads of money then stockpile them in there youth system? Really infuriates me.
