Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s “ZigZag Man”!

One of my work buddies, Mel Dawson, inexplicably took this photo of himself on his camera phone. For some unknown reason, he thought it would be a good idea to tear the label off a bottle of Sprite, remove his shirt and stick the label to his body. As if capturing photographic evidence of this madness for his own use wasn’t enough, he decided to show off his physique to everyone at work. He presented the image to us as his superhero alter-ego, ZigZag Man. I’m not sure what sort of special powers ZigZag Man possesses, although I believe he has the ability to delegate work faster than a speeding bullet.

Mel obviously has issues – I think he may be a little mentally unstable. Part of me feels guilty about laughing at his photo. That said, it’s very funny

EDIT: You know how Batman has his Batmobile? Well, ZigZag Man has his own superhero vehicle – the ZigZag Bike!

Well done to Ouija Board for winning the Prince of Wales’ Stakes at Royal Ascot today. The 5 year old mare, ridden by Olivier Peslier, was third favourite behind David Junior and Electrocutionist.

Two of my work colleagues, Daz and Mel, tipped this horse to win. I had a look on Betfair this afternoon and Ouija Board was trading at 9.2, (just over 8-1). After a hefty loss last week on the Mexico v Angola match, the dollar signs appeared in my eyes and I saw this as a chance to recoup my losses and make a profit. I put £25 on and, as they say, the rest is history A nice £205 win that will come in very handy for my daughter’s birthday next month!
