It's not nice to gloat!

Before starting this story I should point out to any dyslexic readers that this Blog is not connected in any way to the previous Blog “Do you take this gloat to be your lawfully wedded wife?”.

Now when bringing up a young family there are many things that you try to teach them along the way, so that they reach adulthood espousing the attitudes and values that will stand them in good stead in society.

These values include honesty, integrity, humility, compassion and modesty

Sadly, for the last six weeks such values have been decidedly lacking between father (yours truly) and son. The reason - our performances within the Telegraph Fantasy Football League.

The “Moog” has been extremely lucky in reaching a position of 17,000 ish, whereas (as previously reported) my skillfully selected team is close behind in 239,000 ish place.

Well this week I actually scored more points than him, climbing 6,000 places whilst he fell over 20,000. At this rate I should overtake him by Christmas!!

As for the above mentioned values....forget it! From here there's only one direction that I'm going in (& sadly it is most probably downwards!)
