We played golf at Dunham park yesterday and the pro there was telling me that Dean Furman had joined the golf club and was also a new signing at Alty..

Welcome Dean… Fancy a round of golf give me a shout …

The only English golf club that borders Iran!

Watching the Furman interview he sounds astoundingly articulate and intelligent. Another Parkie type player.

Really impressed by the way our signings are going - more optimistic by the day!

Oooh nice detail. Never thought of it that way.

Is this the story of the derelict house?

Yup. Iranian consular building.

Tht's the one! I've been telling friends Jennifer and I smuggled golf balls out of Iran a couple of weeks ago!

For many years a good friend of mine who lived opposite,.. had "people" living in an upstairs room of his house watching that place. They paid him  ;)

Worse places to be. That sounds a decent billet to me.

Watching the Furman interview he sounds astoundingly articulate and intelligent (and future management material), as does Bunney. Another 2 Parkie type players.

Do Iran still own that "embassy" then? I'd assumed it had been sold off.

As far as I know it is still theirs, though there was sheeting over some of the building the other week.

Getting back "on topic", I feel that these signings really have the potential to take this squad up another notch. I will be very interested to follow their progress.

They cannot have owned it for years....it has been undergoing renovation now for easily three years with a builder living on site in a caravan

Could they have a house share in the consulate?
