“We used to take the kids and walk between our house and the Coffee Emporium, and we’d always walk down this street,” Russell said. “I’d say, ‘Honey, when my boat comes in, we’ll live on this street. But you pick the house.’”
Portsmouth admit they want to sign former Newcastle United striker Mark Viduka - when his boat comes in. The Australia international was released by Newcastle following their relegation to the Championship. But Pompey executive chairman Peter Storrie confirmed they would be interested in Viduka.
I blame William Crapo Durant, the man behind General Motors. He was the guy who said, if you make X number of dollars, you buy a Chevrolet, and once you start earning more money, Mr. Chevy Man, why don't you move up to an Oakland, or, heck, even a Buick? Maybe, just maybe, if your ship comes in, one day that big, fat Cadillac could be yours. GM got so nuts with slicing and reslicing the pricing pie that it launched four "companion make" brands—Pontiac, Viking, Marquette, and LaSalle—to fill in the gaps between the original four. Curiously, upstart Pontiac survived while the other three plus Oakland didn't. Until Pontiac didn't, either.
