In the local Tecso convenience store, there's a magazine section and within that there's a sub-section dedicated to "Men's Interests". To be honest, I'm not the sort who shows much interest in archetypal men's things, like golf, football, motorbikes and thrash metal music (all represented here), but being a regular in the store, I found myself repeatedly clocking the image of Alex Ferguson staring out at the punters - it seemed to have been there for several weeks. More than that though, his image caught my attention because of just how hideous his face actually is. Ferguson's flesh is all puffy and blotchy and, for me, his expression seems to permanently betray an especially hard and unforgiving character. Sometimes we play those games when we imagine who we'd like most to sit next to at dinner (Jesus, George Clooney, Katie Price etc), but in Ferguson's case, I think I can say he's one of those people who I'd be happy never to ever encounter at any point in my life, thank you. In fact, although I haven't thought about it too deeply, I think it possible that there is literally no-one I'd less like to meet. Incidentally, I wonder if using the phrase "men's interest" in a store might be politically incorrect or even technically illegal?
