The Riff-Raff Element Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 A chap I met after Saturday's stunning game reckoned that Zizou wasplanning to enter the political arena after this current world cup.He'd had a few drinks, I'll admit, but spoke with great authority,stating that Zidane had spurned the socialists as being "completelyuseless" and was planning to support the interests of the UMP. Well, Ican't find anything on the old www to give me any indication thatZidane is going to do anything other than potter around the garden andfinally tidy out the garage once he hangs up his boots, but I supposeanything is possible. Has he given any important hints that I may havemissed? Are he and Sarko drinking buddies on the sly? Does he visitnaughty night clubs with Chirac? What is going on?

PossumGirl Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I don't know about politics, but if I was a movie producer, I'd try to see if he has any acting abiiity at all. He has amazing presence and could be a great on-screen action hero!PG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patmobile Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 According to my well-placed sources, until recently Tony Blair had been trying to persuade Wayne Rooney to stand in the next by-election in a safe Labour seat. The plan was to bump him up to Deputy PM as soon as he got elected.As you would expect, after Saturday's debacle the No. 10 press office is flatly denying this story.Rumour has it Blair is now attempting to "tap up" Peter Crouch instead.Eric Cantona played the French Ambassador in Elizabeth, I think. Rooney for Secretary-General of the UN?Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Love it! [:D]Question is, would Rooney be any more intelligible than the incumbent Deputy PM. Can he chew wasps and does he pack a punch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]I reckon he will but more on the charity side of things, promoting sport, kids, ethnic minorities, inner city youth and all of that. He is a good guy and certainly have not heard or read miles of gossip column like you would read of Beckam or Rooney!...In temperament I liken Zidane to Lineker. Because he is quiet doesn't mean that he does nothing with his life. He is a good man.But tonight Zizou you must get your team to win against Portugal!...

But the site's had so many hits now (not from Zizou, from visitors) that it has suffered meltdown, I think!Did you hear the Irish priest on UK radio doing a thought for the day refer to Zidane as Zizi? Not the same thing at all as Zizou! French slang for part of the male anatomy.[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcazar Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I've seen him referred to as "ZZ" in the French press, and our American cousins will pronounce THAT "Zizi", so I suppose that's where he got it?Alcazar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
