    It is a well known fact that Howard Carter found a Palace scarf among the other riches in 1922 and the tomb had been sealed for 3245 years.

    A venture capital firm claims it has had two bids to buy the world's oldest football club, Sheffield FC, rejected.

    Yorkshire AI Labs said it wanted to bring a "once in a generation" investment worth "hundreds of billions" into Sheffield, including supporting plans for a new 5,000-seater stadium and 'Home of Football' museum.

    Hmmm ......


    "He said: "Let's face it, in our lifetime we've never celebrated Sheffield being the inventor of the game that's now the world's most popular sport. We invented the corner kick, the goal kick, offside.

    "The rules of the game were invented here, and the fact that it's not celebrated in the way I think it should be, and many of us think it should be, is really something that needs to be corrected."


    Nobody's ever said that, have they? Surely this couldn't be a venture capital guy spouting bullshit, could it?
