My name is Matthew Gilgore, and the truth is... we were playing American football in March. I wasn't tackled, but dove for a catch. It wasn't even that muddy then. Found the ring in the ground. Didn't get around to cleaning it and posting it for like a month or so. Got it cleaned up, posted it on gumtree and like a week or two later got a response from a PI in Edinburgh hired to find the ring. Not overly fantastic, but a nice story nonetheless.

Not much of a story until you add the words "tackle" and "mud" though is it?<br /><br />Still John, your faith in human nature is very touching...:)Total Flankerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06368624271678527333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7101694739527706614.post-32468221179744603692010-07-07T18:20:50.286+01:002010-07-07T18:20:50.286+01:00Far be if for me to doubt your doubt, but...

Chances are this did not happen last week and is a local story that the Record has picked up on, so as the local paper is probably a weekly that means the events would have happened at least two weeks ago, probably longer.<br /><br />2. They had to research the owner of the ring - who was not a local, or even UK citizen. I am not even sure how they managed to do it - but however they did that too would have taken time.<br /><br />3. I think that pushes things back well into May, maybe even April, when it was very wet indeed!John Birchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15062999762082583258noreply@blogger.com
