Ever been the victim, or perpetrator, of a dressing room practical joke?  At Queens Park Stevie Canning and myself started leaving each other’s window wipers up after training.  It started to escalate to letting tyres down etc. and eventually it got so bad that we started going to each others houses on nights we weren’t training and doing different things to each others cars, until finally I egged and floured Stevie’s car and put dog dirt on the car handles!!  When Stevie went to open the door, the obvious happened.
