Review of the year.
Where shall we begin. At the start I suppose.
I can't remember that much of the year (or remember anything of interest) so I'll let you fill in the gaps.
1: Firstly It's a rollover year as no one "knocked the back doors of" Jacks sister. The prize is now a massive £5.
2: Burley has now become, what we all knew he would, a bum. Sponging of his parents and the state. Living with his new 'partner' in Sheffield. Burls is now job seeking and is willing to anything!
3: On a brighter note. Turks has successfully managed to avoid a tricky, all but inevitable commitment with his Girlfriend. Weather this takes the form of a ring or simply co-habiting together. You made it thru the year! Good luck with 2007 Mr Turks (your gonna need it)
4: Big Rob is now a big cheese at Lloyds, hes on some kind of 'Team' but he still hasn't headhunted his mate Andy, much to Andy's annoyance.
5: Jack survived the year of living alone. I thought he would have electrocuted himself by now doing his own wiring or poisoning himself with his terrible cooking. Well done Jack you haven't killed yourself......yet!
6: Toms gone on holiday for 4 months (I'm struggling to think of much else)
7: Shorty's disappeared from the drinking scene. Sighting the fact that he's become more mature and can't go out boozing all the time as he now has a family. Not cool Shorty.
8: James is back! Sadly its because of a relationship that ended but at leased you'll be out on the piss more and we no longer have to call him 'Peterboro James' just plane old James now.
9: Steve (as has been previously stated) has moved in with his 'partner' in Sheffield and has a new bird in Lincoln. He now spend his time driving between Yorkshire and Lincolnshire like some kind of blood gypo!
10: Dave. Comfortable milling along minding his own business.(I'm not doing this anymore if that's the best I can come up with)
11: Me. I'm doing fuck all as usual.
12: I think that's everybody. I'd just like to thank you for reading. Whats that me, thanking you gentle reader? That's right it's been a fucking pain in the arse writing this as nothing good happened this year (remember the world cup) and now I've had to re-live it. Thank you.
Balls thats good enough I'm posting it.
Fantasy Football
The Giraffs of Doom to win!
However my metro fantasy football team has a total of 92 points so i think im pretty much last in that

The End of Another Year
First things first, blogger has changed, and I'm not sure how that's going to affect you all, you may all have to sign up to Google to post from now on, you may not. let me know what happens when you try to post if you have probs.
other than that another year passes, me and Steve have moved to Sheffield and posting things
for me has become allot more difficult but i will when i can
so a quick run down of the past year for us all, just my views post your own post to give us your own last years history if you want
Burls:
The year has been crap for me as I'm currently unemployed but i hope to find employment soon. other than that this year is still the same as any other
Steve:
Moved to Sheffield (with me). Got promoted and from what i hear, well deserved, but having to work hard at the mo with it due to staff shortages. Currently going out with a lovely lass called Sharon and also cooks one of the best Tia Curry's I've ever had
Ric:
Still the same but of to Afghanistan soon so I wish him well with that and hope he keeps his head down
Turks:
Still the same but over the past year has given me allot of entertainment with Sunday football, especially with his goal keeping skills
Tom:
Currently in Iraq (sorry 5* hotel in Qatar). Lost his American bird which i an say we was all looking forward to meeting. These things happen
Andy:
The same as always, your my rock Andy and prob everyone elses as well, still always there to listen to us moan about anything
Shorty:
Still got the Sprog but now has a house, never been but sometimes house warming parties can take months for the invitation to come though
James:
Bad news for James but good for us, he's moving back to Scunthorpe! please take him out and get him pissed whenever possible
Dave:
Same as usual, but Leeanne is blind at the mo so take advantage of her as she just had laser eye treatment (don't take advantage like that, dirty people)
Mungo:
Moved out! and didn't tell anyone! sure the house warming party invitation is coming though soon
Jack:
Still the same, but prob one of the best postman, ever, always on time when Jack is on my round
If you want to post your own past 12 months history do so (Im waiting for Ric's. no pressure ric)
Other than that Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year

You've seen the crappy pics. Now read the crappy story!
15:05 :-After picking up mini-Dave the convoy set off for Leeds. Directions provided by the internet but it's pretty straight forward to get to Leeds or so you would think!
15:45 (Approx) :- The incompetence of the driver was all to apparent when I simple instruction such as "Take the exit at j29 then follow M621 to Leeds city centre" was some how interpreted as "Take j29 exit then go straight on back on to the M62 and carry on towards Manchester". This early gaff was made even worse for Turkey as he started laughing as the chase car took the CORRECT exit and he shouted "Where are those Idiots going" oh dear.
15:50 :- After the little detour we found the hotel without any problems and even got there before the two in the car that went the right way! (Maybe they were idiots after all Turks) Checked in with minimal fuss and retired to are rooms for a well earned rest.
18:00 :- Hotel bar up first and AS USUAL I got the first round in. A slight moment of confusedness came when a taxi or walking approach was to be decided. Even though I wanted another pint shanks's pony it was!
19:15 :- First real bar of the evening and in true Scunny style it was a weatherspoons. There was a clamor to the bar as the cheapskates all tried to get there round in. Surprise, surprise we stayed for another pint here as it was cheap and it was Ratty McTaggarts round.
20:50 :- The slug and lettuce. Nice bar not too expensive, the only problem with this place strangely was that you had to up some stairs then down some stairs then up some stairs again to go to the loo. Not a big problem I grant you but It got us all railed up for some reason.
21:45 :- Browns. Non smoking bar (so it's defo out of the crawl if we ever go again)
22:25 :Food. We stayed away from the usual drinking snacks and went to a Subway???? Half a BLT and we were on are merry way again.
22:50 :NU. Don't know what that stands for and can't remember it so.....
23:35 :-TigerTiger. Jack got us all I.D'd and mini-Dave has picked up his older brothers frugal sense (Tightness)and decided it was to expensive so we didn't even stay for a drink!!!
23:45 :- Yates. Can't really remember this place but I did play one of the worlds greatest pool shots to pot the black and win the game. Even the bouncer said it was a class shot so we moved on! (Think I was Sick here)
00:30 :- Oceana. Was suprisingly good. There was a moment of controversy when Phil and I were separated from the main party (This was because Phil got confused with a mirror?!?!?!?!) this resulting in a split round and one hell of an argument between me and Jack. Guess who was right. In the end, as it all ways does, a deal was brokered at the situation diffused (Jack was the bigger man and bought every one a drink. Turkey still hasn't got his second round in yet and the phrase "It's us three in around now" was used more than once but anyway that's enough of that....For now)
03:00 ;-Dancefloor. Throwing some mad shapes and falling over a bit was the perfect way to conclude the drinking.
03:45 :-Food. I got some chips and fucked off. The others went wandering round leeds looking for a Chinky and could only find a piss soaked afro wig which Turkey put on his head and danced around!
That was just about that. All in all a top night out. Would of been better with all the boozers there of course.
P.S
Once back in Scunny we went to the Queensway for a bite to eat. I could only manage a coke and Jack had to ask behind the bar for some aspirin!!!!!
Maybe we are getting to old for this!
Tally Ho & God bless the Booze!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mine and Steve's Trip to Poland
In respose to Jcks photo's of his weekend (and by the way i like that slide show thing Jack and will have to see how you did that soon) here's the pictures of our weekend (disclaimer: we didn't take any photo's but this should give you some idea)

This one shows the bloody 5* hotel we slept in with the best beds ive every slep in, and yes, steve snores, and no he doesn't give a reach around but you could bite the pillows forever
Ah the Casino, me and steve, sorry steve showed them, how us English gambled, by the end ( about 7:30 am Steve was passing me chips like I was his bitch, which i was) we had been drunk for 36 hours. it was CLASS
But then the naked lap dancing, we'll tell the story in person, you must be 18!

Football Nepotism Alive and well!
Better look next time Lads. How many teams go down from this divison?
Div 5
Trinity FC (2nds) - 0 v Lock, Stock & Barrel - 6
Venue:
W.C.L.
Other details:
Trinitys defence had an off day as they failed to give stand in 'keeper Graham Dixon, any cover, resulting in 3 goals being conceded in each half. Trinitys attacking play, in which Jordan Morrison had an excellent game, saw several good chances being created but missed, whilst the Crowle outfit put away most of their chances, Dixon making several good saves throughout his first ever game between the posts! With Honest Lawyer loosing to Bridge, the title race looks to be heading for an exciting 4 team battle, while Trinity 2nds remain in the relegation zone.

A game of two halves....Yeah Right!
Div 5
Honest Lawyer - 8 v Trinity FC (2nds) - 2
Venue:
Co-op
Other details:
If ever a game could be described as a game of two halves, then this was the one. Unbeaten Honest Lawyer were given their toughest half of the season by a lively Trinity who matched them throughout the pitch. Trinity came close several times to opening the scoring with Phil Brumby, Danny Barnes and Jason Harper all going close. Honest Lawyer created one clear chance, a one v. one run through which ended well wide. Honest Lawyer opened the scoring on 39min when a loose ball in the Trinity defence was poked home. This was unfair on Trinitys 1st half performance but 2mins later, following a free kick,DANNY BARNES was on hand to score the deserved equaliser in a similar way to the opener. HT 1-1. Straight from the 2nd half kick off Honest Lawyer went 2-1 in front when the low sun deceived the Trinity ‘keeper and he misjudged the flight. Again Trinity hit back on 53min through JASON HARPER after the Honest Lawyer defence failed to clear a high ball into their box. This signalled a flurry of Honest Lawyer goals. On 55min a corner out of the sun was headed home, on the hour Andy Chambers made it 4-2 with a similar effort. Another 5mins passed before Chambers repeated the move to make it 5-2. A reasonable Refereeing performance was now spoilt by the awarding of a penalty to Honest Lawyer following a clean challenge by Chris Short being deemed a foul, this was quickly followed by a clear goal kick being mistakenly given as a corner, from which Honest Lawyer made it 7-2. (The game was lost by this time but these two goals finished Trinitys fight off). The final piece of salt was rubbed into Trinitys wounds in the very last minute to give Honest Lawyer an 8-2 win.

JACK HAUGHEYS BIRTHDAY
Event...my birthday
Date...Saturday 18th November
Location...Lincoln
Yes its that time of year again, my birthday!(and can be doubled with ricks which is a few days later)
Ive decided on Lincoln this year and like steves earlier trip to sheffield, will be fairly similar, drive down and at a decent hotel.
But of course being me..it will be better, pub crawl through lincoln.!!!
Ive looked around the net and looking for a decent hotel and location i have found..(this should keep tom happy)
The courtyard Marriot in Lincoln city centre.
The prices for 2double beds per room are £81 per room
This is the site for it so you can check the rooms etc out for yourself, of course feel free to look for your own accomodation.
After the collectiing money,paying for ourselves problem last time ive decided if you want to go, book it yourself. So if its 2 to a room decide who your with and you and your bedroom buddy can book between you or however you want to sort it?!
Ive looked on OPODO.COM and you can book the hotel and then pay when you get there, i presume this is the same with booking it through the Marriot site itself.
http://marriott.co.uk/Channels/globalSites/propertypage/UK/LCNDT
So thats the plan, if you want to go then wooohoo if you dont then no worries.
Comments welcome!

The Magic Of The Cup!
Trinity F.C recorded their best ever result in there long history with an impressive 6-1 victory away at the mighty Duffs Dynamos. The arduous task of getting a result was made alot easier by a magnificent away support, who acted as a 12th man, the fun and games started when Phil 'fat boy' Brumby went racing down the right flank, going by 3 defenders like they were stood still, to fire home a wonder goal. 'Fat Boy' grew up learning his skills at the Rich Brumby school of finishing and it showed. Duffs then went on to what can only be described as 'clown defending' at times it was as if they were playing in their baggy trousers and massive shoes, the only thing missing was that little car that falls apart just like there defence! Trinity's second came from a hopeful punt forward only for a Duffs defender bizarrley called 'Twiggy' to deftly loft it over his own 'keeper. Then just when the jubliant fans thought it couldn't get any better Jack 'Carlos Vallderamma' Haughey scuffed a shot which picked up a lucky deflection, then bounced up on a divot to thwart the hapless 'keeper. As the ball feebly trickled over the line hysterics broke out in the away end not for the sheer jammyness of the goal but Jack's inappropriate celebration, the Joey Deacon walk.
It got even worse for Duffs Clown Troop when a free kick from 40 yards out was puntted into the box by Chris 'Barrats' Holmes and it fell where there was literally nobody and bounced over the onrushing 'CoCo' and into the empty net. Halftime and commanding the game 4-0 everything was looking good. 10 minutes in and 'Fat Boy' made it 5 with a nice piece of footwork that wouldn't lookout of place on Strictly Come Dancing, coincidently his favourite show (Gayer). With the game now well and truly in the bag, time for club captain Chris 'sicknote' Short to make an apperance. It didn't take him long to get stuck into the action. With the ball at his feet and a seemingly open goal in front of him he sent his shot stright at the only man who could possible stop it and stop it he did. He looked like he wanted the ground to open up and swallow him, as it had done previously a few days ago when he fell through a man hole cover thus resulting in him being on the bench in the first place, oh well. Trinity quickly put 'Sikenotes' glaring miss behind them and Danny 'Noodle Head' Barnes made it an easy 6. Duffs clown brigade still had one trick up there sleeves, and it wasn't that one with the squirty flower, whilst applying pressure though a number of corners there new 'keeper Krusty , CoCo having swaped over with Krusty early in the second half, found himself unmarked in the box and fired home the volley for a consolation goal. Graham 'Avin Some' Dixon and Steve 'Mini Dave' Peugh came on as late substitutions and did the square route of fuck all, but I'll give them a mention anyway. With passage into the next round secured and a confidence building result in the bag the fans and players went home happy. All in all a good afternoon from the much lambasted Trinity team and a nice break from getting stuffed every week.

Now for the real report:
Chall Cup Round 2
Duffs Dynamos - 1 v Trinity FC - 6
Venue:
Luddington
Other details:
In front of a boisterous set of Trinity supporters, the team recorded one of their biggest Challenge Cup wins in recent years with this 6-1 win at Luddington, over Duffs Dynamos. Trinity started at a pace and soon had a fragile looking Duffs defence in trouble. PHIL BRUMBY opened Trinitys account on 8mins when he made progress down the right before unleashing a fierce cross shot into the top corner. 5 mins later and a strong Chris Harper run from midfield was unceremoniously stopped by a Duffs lad who’s efforts resulted in a booking. With 25mins gone the fragile Duffs defence cracked again as Jason Harper chased a through ball, putting the Duffs centre half under so much pressure that all he could do was chip his own keeper for an OWN GOAL. As half time approached, Trinity virtual had the game sown up as a JACK HAUGHEY shot was partly save by the ‘keeper, but the ball just managed to trickle over the line and a CHRIS HOLMES free kick from just inside the Duffs half deceived the’keeper and went straight in. Half Time 0-4. It took ten minutes of the second half before PHIL BRUMBY scored his second and Trinitys 5th. Brumby being replaced by Chris Short, who soon after somehow managed to miss an open goal with his early effort. This did not hamper Trinitys progress as DANNY BARNES made it six with a well worked goal. Duffs got their consolation goal just before the end when a series of corners ended with their GOALKEEPER volleying home at the far post. There was just time for Duffs founder Steve Duffy to receive his first ever booking for a clumsy challenge on Danny Barnes.

It all makes perfect sence now........
Mr liability (Jack) had 'other commitments' and the team performs well. Manager KIETH HARPER did a sterling job impersonating the team clown by bagging an og that the great Jack McRatty himself would of been proud of.
Heres the match report
Div 5
Trinity FC (2nds) - 3 v Valley View - 2
Venue:
Co-op
Other details:
The boot was certainly on the other foot this week as far as Trinity FC were concerned! 7 days earlier, they lost to a late, late goal away at Duffs Dynamos, this week, they completed an excellent comeback, to score a winning last minute goal of their own. Trinity, with several players missing through injury and other commitments, started well but were hit by an excellent Valley View 20 yard free kick on 15 minutes which flew into the net. Things got worse for Trinity on 25 minutes when Player Manager, Keith Harper headed a long Valley View throw in, into his own goal. To the credit of the Trinity team they kept plugging away but the chances created were all missed. As half time loomed Trinity were awarded a free kick wide right. A floated cross cum shot from DANNY BARNES eluded everyone and ended up in the net to give Trinity some hope. The second period saw Trinity continue to press stongly, but valley View were still dangerous on the break, with Trinitys standin 'keeper, Chris Short having to be alert on a couple of occasions. On the hour, Trinity scored a deserved equaliser, with JASON HARPER on hand to poke home after the Valley View 'keeper had done well to block a shot, but got no support from his defence with Harper reacting the quickest. This should have been Harpers hat trick at least, having missed several earlier openings. With the score at 2-2 and time running out Trinity lost Phil Brumby through injury, being replaced by young KELVIN HOLMES. With only seconds left as the Valley View defence let a high ball into their box bounce he nipped in and headed the winner home!

It Used to About the Booze... Sheffield Style
Thought I'd put a message on for once.
I'm going to the Scunny match with Rich and Rob, therefore why don't I park down there and us three and Turkey leave our junk in my car and scoot off once the match finishes? I'm cereal.
I've arranged that we'd meet some peeps from work in The Common Room on Division St. at 5pm ish. Thus enabling us to play pool, drink our own weight in beer and fall into a stupor by 8pm...
Then, we can frequent some of Sheffield City centre's finest (and not so finest) hostelries, until we head on down to the Leadmill.
Excelsior!
I'll see thee.
Sheffield- The Plan. Update......
Me Steve and Tom are going to drive so it seems like a good plan to meet in the Queensway between 2 and half 2 (1400 hours Ric), when were all there we'll scoot over to Sheffield and get booked in, get changed and head on out and commence drinking. Our hotels only down the road from yours so there's not going to be any problems (I hope). I look forward to engaging in the art of the booze with you gentlemen

A third defeat on the bounce not looking to good this season eh boys? Was that grandad still playing? you know the one that 'skined' Shorty a few years back after he claimed he fell down a rabbit hole?. A bad mix up in the defence lead to their goal, I'm I to assume that this was Jacks 'bad mix up'? Well I'm going to anyway. How crule the game can be "after once again playing well enough to gain at least a point" Jacks incompitance and lack of ability throws it all away. An 87th minute heartbreaker for the no doubt hungover (proberbly still pissed) Trinity. Can you hear that? thats right it's divison 6 and it's calling your name!
Better luck next week lads! (You need it)
Div 5 Duffs Dynamos - 1 v Trinity FC (2nds) - 0
Venue: Luddington Other details: Trinity suffered their 3rd consecutive defeat in the League after once again playing well enough to gain at least a point. Both teams created and missed several openings and both managed to hit the woodwork. The deciding goal, when a 0-0 draw looked certain, came in the 87th minute following a bad mix up in the Trinity defence presenting Duffs all three points.
Date: 24-9-06 Time: 3.00
Maybe it's time to bring Dave 'better than Peter Crouch' Holloway out of retirement? Remember he did hit the bar from the halfway line once!
Jack now you can put your comments like "well at leased I bother to turn up" "You can't even get in the team" "Remember your 45minute debut, you missed a sitter" and all your old favourites.

Joint Birthday- The Plan
God I feel like crap. Either the curry kicked in a week late or I'm paying for not cleaning the kitchen for a week. Either way, 3, yes 3 toilet rolls in a day. That's a personal best. Anyways thought I would mention that as well as:
THE PLAN:
After talking to Andy and Steve we have decided that we would like to go to Sheffield for a night out. No gay limousines or owt just a piss up and a hotel for the night. Looking at the 30th of this month. Prob get there for 2-3 o'clock check in and all that then get pissed
Dave suggests this hotel
http://www.hotel-bristol.co.uk/tariff.php . Your looking at£55 for that
I checked theMarriottt Tom and its fully booked.However there is also:
http://www.hilton.co.uk/sheffield. Says £90 odd on the website but £68 on lastminute.com
Also
http://www.premiertravelinn.com/pti/checkHotelAvailability.do;jsessionid=CE6897B26CA3B4B46208370398E60ACB
for your bog standard. We all know what their like and come in a pound cheaper than the Bristol at £54
There's plenty of small bed and breakfast that charge less, But I aint stopping in one of those so If anyone wants too they can take a look for themselves
Cheers

1 Year Old- So many memories, all blurred by beer
I guess at the time I was bored (and more than likely slighty pissed) and fustrated at our seemingly ineffectual attempts to plan any sort of event or day out. Im happy to report the "About the Booze" website has done nothing to help with this at all and has at times made things worse. But hey, at least we get to see funny photo's while were at it
One of the other reasons for me (and where the name of the blog came from) was the fact that were all getting older, moving about more, and getting into serious relationships (for some of you at least). For anyone who dosen't know, "it used to be about the booze" is a play on "it used to be about the music" a reference of what the Beatles may, or may not, have said to John Lennon when he got with Yoko Ono. Thanks to our resident comedian Ric for that one. However, as I can't even play a triangle and I would guess the rest of you are just as musically gifted, we have to stick with what we know, which is booze.
Another point is that although we don't all post or comment, everyone looks at it. We get the usually suspects but its good to know that it looked at by us all. I think this is one of the main reason we've managed to last this long. And too be fiar its quite an acheivement. This is from a recent report:
"Perseus claimed that the average duration of the remaining 1.63 million abandoned blogs was 126 days, with some 132,000 blogs being abandoned after a year or more. The oldest abandoned blog surveyed had been maintained for 923 days. "
So the average blog is 126 days old. 365 aint bad
Also this
"Apparently the blog-hosting services have made it so easy to create a blog that many tire-kickers feel no commitment to continuing the blog they initiate. In fact, 1.09 million blogs were one-day wonders"
I wonder what the year would have been like without the blog? who knows it may even have been better but I for one have enjoyed reading it
Some statistics from our blog
365 Days old- Yey!!!!

ENGLAND vs MACEDONIA
Tickets start at £23(including admin and booking fees) for the cheapest seats, but i can also get other seats at £33 depending what everyone fancied, having said that are seats were £23 and the view was pretty good for what we paid.
Let me know asap, and id need the money in full...asap
If we can get 8 people we could get a mini-bus straight there and avoid the shitty train journey, which going there was fine it was just coming back...tram broke down,then a train that stopped at every village in the north...and they didnt sell any beer..grrrr
So let me know names and numbers quickly and il see what i can do

Below are four (4) questions and a bonus question. You have to answer
them instantly. You can't take your time, answer all of them
immediately. OK?
Let's find out just how clever you really are....
Ready? GO!!! (scroll down)
First Question:
You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What
position are you in?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Answer: If you answered that you are first, then you are
absolutely wrong! If you overtake the second person and you take his
place,
you are second!
Try not to screw up next time.
Now answer the second question,
but don't take as much time as you took for the first question, OK?
Second Question:
If you overtake the last person, then you are...?
(scroll down)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Answer: If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong
again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST Person?
You're not very good at this, are you?
Third Question:
Very tricky arithmetic! Note: This must be done in your head only.
Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it.
Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000 . Now add 30.
Add another 1000. Now add 20. Now add another 1000
Now add 10. What is the total?
Scroll down for answer.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Did you get 5000?
The correct answer is actually 4100.
If you don't believe it, check it with a calculator!
Today is definitely not your day, is it?
Maybe you'll get the last question right....
....Maybe.
Fourth Question:
Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini,
4. Nono. What is the name of the fifth daughter?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Did you Answer Nunu?
NO! Of course it isn't.
Her name is Mary. Read the question again!
Okay, now the bonus round:
A mute person goes into a shop and wants to buy a toothbrush. By
imitating the action of brushing his teeth he successfully
expresses himself to the shopkeeper and! the purchase is
done.
Next, a blind man comes into the shop who wants to buy a pair of
sunglasses; how does HE indicate what he wants?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He just has to open his mouth and ask...
It's really very simple.... Like you!
PASS THIS ON TO FRUSTRATE THE
SMART PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE!

Thats right I'm the 'DICEMAN'
Start time 1330
Finish time 0130 (well about 11 for me, curse my old bones)
The problem is me and some of the other 'boozers' are off to Manchester to watch England on Saturday so I have a number of options of how to spend my friday night.
1: Complete the walk back and head home to Scunny bright and early on saturday and go stright to Manc (the obvious pitfall is I wont get up in time, the last time I tried to do this was after the Beer Festivel and i didn't make it back while gone 1700)
2: As above but head stright for manchester meet you there missing out scunny
3: Just do the first few pubs then head back to Scunny (Pissed up but will at leased be there)
4: Stright home stright to bed! (well almost if I take this option I'll be home around fiveish friday afternoon, My prefered choice but will the dice be kind??)
5: Go watch scunny play gillingham friday night, head home stright afterwards or saturday morning public transport permitting. (bit of a wast in time/money/life)
6: None of the above!
Let the Dice decide! you can play along at home to if you like just roll a die check the number with the corrosponding option and tell me what fate has decided for me. Remember the dice say is final!
I'm now operating on a higher plane than you idiots who let your brains to all the hard work like a bunch of suckers. Just sit back and roll the dice.
Has anybody got any dice I can borrow?!?!?!?!?!?

Laws I Hate You!
Well, well, well
another perfectly good saturday wasted. The day started of badly and got worse. First we got the wrong train and had to change at Donny (Where the R.A.C lived up to there name by running away from some mean looking girls). As we approached Rotherham or Barter town (from mad max 3) which it looks a lot like, we we're again forced to use are running away skills from this nasty looking bunch of school children. Next up find a pub! Easy or so you'd think. Asking a copper where the best place to have drink was he said "follow the road down and theres a nice little boozer". What he ment was go down here and theres a shithole selling pissy beer for £2.50 and no sky sports. On entering the ground (£20 to get in and it does look a bit like the thunderdome, Steve said he thought he saw Tina Turner but it turned out to be Mad Mick in a wig) we were witness to what can only be described as complete and utter dog shit, the third worst football match I've ever seen. (The worst being loosing to Donny 5 nil and the infamous 2-1 home defeat by Chester City). When the horror show was over the terror continued with a two hour train ride home with people that can only be described as human vermin! So to sum up the day £40 down the drain and 8 hours of my life I'l never get back. Why do we bother?
But I won some money off Shorty so its not all bad!

I made it to day 49 before my arm got tired (and I've got a lot of practise with my right arm over the years) Good night and Good luck.
