From The Fiver

This made me laugh this morning:

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Dear Sir/Madam, We know that you are among those who do not always respect the rules during sports tournaments and, so far as we are aware, have been banned from stadiums or received some other punishment ... We want you to be able to enjoy this great championship in a festive, fair-minded spirit ... but please be aware that violence will not be tolerated ... we hope that we will meet again in pleasant circumstances. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us" - extracts from the letter sent by the Swiss police to 300 known hooligans today.

Nikki, I can't tell if this is made-up or not.

If not, DO THEY REALLY THINK POLITENESS IS THE WAY TO SCORE CRED WITH HOOLIGANS?

If so, go Fiver! Brilliant as always.

In other news, LESS THAN 2 DAYS TO GO!

I don't think it is made up. The Swiss, they are polite buggers.
