WELL the deed has been done and the draw made.

First match to be against France....let's see!

I am to film for ITV on Wednesday the 10th. This was originally to be in London, but the company have kindly changed it to Manchester. I am to work with Matthew Middleton, a David Beckham lookalike who I have worked with on a previous occasion. Don't know what it's about yet but, as always, all will be revealed!

The 20th. December, which I have already mentioned, is a Hotel gig in Bradford along with none other than...Matthew Middleton again. His partner, Nerys, is also attending and it may be interesting to note that her "fame" came through an original email from the Bolton Evening News site, to me. What a story, Posh and Becks lookalike together in real life. This event is also to include Paul Coyle as Alex Ferguson.

Finally, we all know we've made it when we end up in the "top Shelf" magazines! Well not quite, but I am currently help grace the pages of Maxim Magazine, along with the lovely ladies and other bits of debateable journalism. I was photographed during the World Black Pudding Throwing Contest earlier in the year, and all credit for the publicity and invitation goes to Phil Taylor Photographer ARPS at www.philtaylorphoto.f9.co.uk/

Thanks to Phil for his help in giving me a leg up to the top shelf!!!

Whilst noting URL's, don't forget my escapades and all the local news at www.thisisbolton.co.uk (Sven's Diary) and my new address at www.svengoraneriksson.net. This is the original site but will be updated soon.

More soon.
