Don"s son has been chosen to represent England in the Synchronised Swimming Event at the forthcoming world Championships in Split, Croatia.

Roberts Junior will be part of a 12 man team in a new event for Males being trialled at these Championships ahead of possible inclusion in the 2016 Summer Olympics

Don said

"My son was enthused by my ability to walk on water, and decided to branch out from swimming at our local baths, joining a synchronised swimming team. Less than six months later he has shown uncanny ability to breathe underwater whilst displaying physical characteristics similar to myself in Coventry.I am delighted and look forward to seeing him doing the splits in Split"

Waking up and not realising the date... checking Don"s twitter to see what he had to say about it... I"m blaming the Guinness from last night  ;D

Cheers Tighty,

Thanks for the free publicity, Junior is coming on in leaps and bounds under my expert tuition, and I fully expect him to make a big splash in this event in the not too distant future. However this sport is massively under funded and in order to keep participating at such stellar venues as Split more sponsorship is required.

With this in mind anyone who would like to donate to the cause please see me at the bar in Coventry where I will be happy to receive all donations, which I will invest wisely. (33 black is this weeks investment choice), tally ho.
