Poor George Best says he is devastated at missing the late goals in last week's European final when he left the ground early. I managed to see these goals thanks to an amazing stroke of luck.
Having switched channels to hear the late news and lottery results, I almost forgot about the final match result.
Suddenly a voice announced there will now be a Tory party broadcast, and I couldn't hit the channel changer fast enough - just in time for the two late goals that gave Manchester United victory.
So it was my good taste in politics that saved the day.
