He's a snowflake...and ain't he wearing a rolled up ski-mask. Anyway, it could be, so it's implying all snowflakes are burglars, innit:shrug:
Good spot, on the racism:-|

Extra passenger was snow joke for birthday-boy Alan Hutton
By JJ:
Groundsmen are worth their weight in gold at this time of year. The weather can really play havoc with your preparations and when I saw the snow coming down on Tuesday I thought our week would be ruined.
The manager gave us a special treat on Monday as we spent the day at Champney's Health Club — some of the lads used the opportunity to relax, others went in the gym.
But it was crucial that we spent some time on the training pitch at Chigwell ahead of tomorrow's match at Birmingham. I was amazed at how our grounds manager Darren Baldwin and his team managed to dig out half a pitch for us to use.
They collected the Professional Sports Ground Management Team of the Year award at the Institute of Groundsmanship Industry Awards last week.
Their work has meant we have still been able to do some vital practice and, while it may only have been small-sided games, you can't beat having the ball at your feet.
The snow did give me the opportunity to continue a club tradition, though. Every member of our squad knows the significance of birthdays.
Alan Hutton was 26 on Tuesday. He didn't tell anyone and tried to keep it a secret. Sadly for Huts, his wife let me know. I only told a couple of the other lads so he wouldn't find out what we had in store for him.
True to form, Huts came to work in his scrags. In the past, suits have been known to get ruined on your birthday by practical jokers. You never know what is going to happen to you. I remember on one of my birthdays Jermain Defoe stole my car keys and parked it in a bush.
Tom Huddlestone and I were both having treatment on our injuries, so we weren't training, so when Huts was out we built a snowman . . . and left it in his car!
Tom did the head and I did the body, we both thought he would be furious when he saw what we had done — but he wasn't. Alan took it in very good spirit but I am sure that he now has both mine and Tom's birthday's marked on his calendar.
Mine isn't until 18 February but I'm going to make sure I go to training in a taxi wearing shorts!
Tomorrow's game at Birmingham might come too soon for me as I am still recovering from a calf strain.
I have trained for the past three days and am desperate to be back but will listen to the advice of the physios and the manager before deciding whether to play or not.

:rofl:
Thats hilarious.
The Defoe thign reminded me of a prank my boss did at his previous job. He used to work at an outboard motor testing facility.
The CEO parked his own personal yacht at the facility as it had slip access. It was his pride and joy, and he wasn't just a monthly sailor, he was obsessed with his boat. He parked it directly behind the slip. So it was on a trailer, with blocks etc to stop it from rolling on the slight slope.
Since they manufactured the same boat at the facility, they hid his boat on the weekend, used the same trailer his boat came on and backed it into the water and anchorerd it to the bottom with part of the trailer showing above water. They placed the same mast/sails submerged with just the tip sticking out of the water.
He said it looked exactly like the whole boat had sunk to the bottom and just the trailer and part of the boat was visible.
The CEO came in: He was so shocked, that he couldn't say anything, and then he went a funny color. They literally had to spill the beans on the spot because they thought he was about to have a stroke.
Engineers man. They don't do anything by half.
