Arguably the biggest story of the week was the sexism row. Andy Grey and Richard Keys had a Gordon Brown moment. Calling into question whether Sian Massey knew what the offside rule was.
Very much what you would hear at any pub around the country. In I've had the pleasure of seeing her with the flag during a Sunderland match. And yes, that exact question was raised by all around, and "She's allowed to change her mind a few times".
The list went on and on. In fact she had a superb game.
Grey and Keys must have thought they were with the lads, but they were not. Slip of the tongue...or numerous slips. Now out of a job, harsh possibly but fair as well.
Now this brings me to Friday. I was sat on the train back from University. I was browsing twitter when I saw an interesting tweet from @RBuxton_LFC saying: "Sian Massey withdraws from officiating another game this weekend. The biggest loser in all this mess isn't Keys or Gray sadly, it's her."
This got me thinking, one why she was getting hounded for doing a perfectly good job. Secondly, who would I like to see take over. Without much hesitation I tweeted "I say the new sky commentators should be @stephenfry and Brian blessed."
Within about a minute I see five retweets, all from people who don't follow me. I refresh and see more, and more and more. But then it all made sense, I scroll down and see @stephenfry in my replies, I rush to his page and see my tweet there...This is the greatest moment of my life I am thinking...and I did feel slightly orgasmic.
Around an hour later I am still getting retweets and replies. Sitting in the hairdressers chair,
phone out just refreshing to see more and more.
Then I see to my shock that "Adam Brown, @mackemab is now trending in United Kingdom http://trendsmap.com/gb" I cannot help but think to myself "I am famous, this is what it feels like to be known. I like this." and there were also tweets saying I was trending in London, and later I received one from Manchester.
Now...this was and still is all a bit strange to me, I was famous for about three hours. Since everyone has their "15 minutes of fame" I fear the rest of my life may be boring as I had 12 times that!
Anyway, it was however sad it may be the greatest moment of my life thus far, a man I look up and too and admire greatly retweeted me, this also sparked a question and realisation that.
I how ever short it may have been, made Stephen Fry laugh. I'm afraid just the thought of it makes me feel all fizzy inside. Anyway Life is now complete.
