When Matt Parker from Carlisle woke up one morning and had a wonder to himself about how hard footballers train, he decided to ask FHM for clarification. Naturally, we were only too happy to investigate by braving people from the north, El-Hadji Dioufs reputation and Sam Allardyces ire by spending time with Blackburn Rovers. Now say what you like about Rovers sure, Carlo Ancelottis probably never heard of them but theyre one of the top 15 football clubs in England, one of only four teams to win the Premier League and a squad of finely tuned and competitive athletes.

John Scott from Northampton sent a very polite email to access@FHM.com, inquiring whether the new Tesla Roadster was just a souped-up milk float, or an electric speedster worthy of the mantle of ‘sports car’.

Get this: Rio Ferdinand and Ashley Cole are two of the executive producers for Dead Man Running, a film that came out on October 30 and stars Danny Dyer, 50 Cent and Tamer Hassan. Yes: bosh! Wallop! Oi oi! Etc!

Then get this: in December 2008, FHM man Stuart Hood went down to see Dead Man Running being filmed in a secret location near the River Thames in London. Stuart looks cold, even though hes Scottish. But he got his freezing little arse in gear and minced around the film set getting interviews with some film stars, and also a rap star who would like to be a film star.

Watch the video. Its very good.

When we met Seasick Steve for a chat in a room up some stairs in a building on a nice square off a busy road in the Kensington area of London, we acquired the following knowledge:

1/ Seasick Steve has a bad memory.
2/ Seasick Steve has a big beard.
3/ Seasick Steve doesnt care that the NME once called him an elderly man pretending to be a tramp.
4/ Seasick Steve is an elderly man but isnt a tramp.
5/ Seasick Steve seems like a nice man.

When our chat with Seasick Steve was over we cycled home and went about making a moderately entertaining video based on our encounter. Watch it, above.
