Dear Mickey, Unfortunatley, Miles is rubbish and been playing very poorly and I would like you to pass this onto your manger. However, since we are decent folk up here and we took him on loan, I think we are obliged to work on him and keep him here for the rest of the season Hope this willl be ok and tell your manager not to worry.

Sorry to report medievalmickey, but it looks like Miles Storey isn't a Swindon player after all - here's a snippet from this week's BBC preview of our upcoming match on Saturday: "Christie has also been on scintillating form and his return is timely for manager John Hughes, who also has the impressive Miles Storey to call upon. The striker, on loan from Newport County, has scored four goals in his five appearances so far and has yet to taste defeat since joining the Highlanders." So, you must be wrong in your assertion that he is a Swindon player because the BBC never get it wrong.......

Thanks for the replies. Duncan Shearer is a true Swindon Town great and will never be forgotten. Adam Rooney scored a few goals but was not exceptional. Lee Cox appeared to be a good player but, like Miles, was never really given a chance. Owain Tudur Jones joined us on loan, started brightly then faded and moved on after his loan spell. Maurice Malpas was appointed manager when a wealthy Consortium took over at a point when it looked as if the club would fold: not an envious task. He was appointed by the then Chairman whose aim was to make the club self sufficient. It was a difficult job for Maurice and he earned the tag of emotionless. We ended up with Paolo DiCanio but that is a different story. Don't worry Ronaldo, Miles could score close to a goal a game and Mark Cooper would probably consider this underachieving and when the goal return fell back to say one in two then he would be right. Sorry to go on a little. Best wishes to all.

I don't suppose our guest from Swindon wants reminded about the last of these....

No Laurence, even I would agree that IBM is perfectly entitled to make the point in question. I don't think it's particularly valid, but would still contend that he is being quite reasonable in making it.

Oh dear oh dear. That's 2-0 after 50 mins and it looks like the 4th loss in a row!
