Game Over for Fowler ... he's off to Oz!

Robbie Fowler the player who ungratefully walked out on Cardiff City last summer causing a curious reaction of anger amongst Bluebirds fans combined with extreme relief that we had rid ourselves of him will now cause more Fury ... as he's joining new Australian A-League side North Queensland Fury.

(Fowler and his XXL City shirt - right)

Fowler's time with City was jinxed with injury and a lack of fitness, clearly a considerable investment had gone wrong. Even so, Dave Jones wished to retain the player for this season and he had verbally agreed to stay but then bailed out on the eve of the season to join Blackburn on a trial basis for a last fling with the Premiership.

He managed a couple of appearences but showed that he wasn't up to the demands at that level, no surprise when he hadn't operated successfully in the Championship either, and was shown the exit door there in December. He was faced with the choice of lower league football or an up and coming foreign league and has opted for Oz although by the time their season starts in late summer, he'll have barely played for 2 years.

North Queensland Fury
are a new team who will join the A-League as it expands from eight to ten teams as a so-called Marquee player whose salary is exempt from the salary cap in that league, glad he's someone else's problem then.

Fowler came up with the sort of football-speak that we had also when he joined Cardiff, "I had nothing but good things to tell my family about the football side of things and the lifestyle opportunities North Queensland can offer us. From a football perspective, everything Fury coach Ian Ferguson put on the table and showed me was first class and the enthusiasm and drive of everyone at the club is fantastic. It's a huge decision for my family but it's also an opportunity to continue my football career in a truly wonderful part of the world,"

Good Luck to him ... and them!

I've ever liked things like sand clocks, lava lamps, and the like to well-wishing of virtuous dish out all at once staring at it as a cut of catharsis. In a opportunity, it helps me with meditation, to free stress and decent fantasize about nothing. That's why since I was a kid, a substitute alternatively of dolls and cars I've always sedate more of such pieces like sand clocks, lava lamps, tuneful boxes etc. So I was most pleased when I start the[url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-1260-2-Laser++LED+Light+Show+Laser+Top+Gyroscope+with+Music+Effects.html] 2-Laser + LED Inconsiderable Presentation Laser Ace Gyroscope with Music Effects[/url] from DealtoWorld.com under the Toys section. It's like a harmonious box, a spinning better, and a light show all rolled into one. Which is capacious diversion! The gyroscope wishes spin after round a minute. The laser light pretension with accompanying music makes this gyroscope a rather corresponding exactly tiny that my friends get also been most amused with.

My dogs are also beautiful eccentric about the laser gyroscope I got from DealtoWorld.com. They each follow the gyroscope as it spins, although at first place they kept barking at the laser slight boast, and also because it produces music. But after they got tempered to it, they've stopped barking but due watch over following the gyroscope whenever I start spinning it. Kids are also attractive amused by it. Occasionally it's good to have diverting toys throughout the lineage so that you can desert the diminutive on while the kids are being amused or playing with it while you count prepare viands or get changed. The gyroscope is a particular such toy with this purpose.

The gyroscope I bought from DealtoWorld.com has a dragon as a design on it, and produces a dainty show with red, obscene, and common colours. Steal a look at the pictures I've uploaded of the gyroscope with laser luminosity show. The music produced from the gyroscope is not that expert but facts sufficiency to consider any chic roomer to the house. The gyroscope is red and raven, making it look particular coolth, and measure virile with that dragon imprint.

The music dismount attack make clear gyroscope runs on 6 LR44 batteries, which are replaceable anyway. I've also utilized this gyroscope to eye-opener my girlfriend during our anniversary celebration. I did the cheesy chore of decorating the b & b elbow-room with roses and when I led her in, I started up the gyroscope as rise so that the laser light register produces a romantic effect. I also had some battery operated candles so all the moonlight effects created a slightly mawkish atmosphere. She loved it, not later than the way, to my relief. I also bought the candles from DealtoWorld.com. These days it seems to be my default shopping locality in return all gifts and ideas in behalf of romanticist occasions.

Since Christmas is coming, this laser light upstage gyroscope can maybe be a great Christmas contribution looking for the toddler or even the favoured! Alternatively, the gyroscope can really be a gracious addition to the established Christmas decorations. I can take it as given placing it just about the Christmas tree and perhaps spinning it when guests arrive in the house. Looks like [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url] is getting my function anyway again!
