Shuggie leaves for New York. Sometime after this the city experiences its worst power outage in its history. Coincidence? Maybe not!

So far at cheddarheads.co.uk we are able to confirm the following half-truths after one month in the Big Apple -

During his flight over the Atlantic, he managed to sustain a serious hand injury after an altercation with a bar stool. These are some the perils of business class!

Despite living in a swanky Midtown Manhattan condo, he has been roughing it all month - as the apartment has a distinct lack of furniture! So an inflatable friend has been keeping him company at night!

Attended the Jets preseason game versus the Saints at the Meadowlands and wished Cheddar Hall of Famer Danny Kight the best of luck. Danny was cut the next day (on his birthday of all days). Maybe the Jets weren't so impressed with their kicker chatting to fans in the stands when he should have been practicing his kickoffs!

Has also been witness to poor preseason performances from Craig Nall and Ian Allen. Stop watching ex-Claymores please!

After finally purchasing a big screen TV to enjoy ESPN, New York is subjected to its worst power outage in history. Still no word on the rumour that the powering down of Manhattan coincided with the powering up of said TV!
