It was cold.
Driving down the Motorway it was –2`C. Really, really cold - so cold that there were icicles hanging off the cobwebs on Clarky’s wallet timelock… and of course the game got cancelled.
Which meant we all piled into the Hotel Bar to have a few beers and wait for everyone to gather.
NigeD apparently thought the hotel was called The Unicorn (that’s given him an idea for his next procedure !!), Foxy - The Bridge .. and Ady, who was Un-Coordinating, - The Plough (goes to show – if you are wrong enough times, sooner or later you’ll be right).
Man U –v- Liverpoo on the telly and those naughty boys wouldn’t shake hands – mind shaking hands with scousers can lead to things going missing…
Dave Walls looked very comfortable, sitting nodding his head saying “Yuss” a lot
“Want a beer Dave?” called ‘Volunteer of the Month’ Smudge (he changed a light bulb)
“Oh Yuss” nodded Dave.
Strauney was on the ‘pull’ he was determined to find a Goblin Teasmaid for his room – hallucinating again, paying for his own beer does that to him.
A couple of the Lads did a recce on the Pub next door,
“Open fire, good pub food, real ale and a big screen TV” claimed The One and Only Rob Taylor… and The Game kicks off at 4… time for a few more beers.
Turbo was well in – there was a beer named after him, though it was thick, slow moving and left a dull after taste, not surprisingly.
“Nother Beer Wallsey?” – “Ohh Yuss”
Adam & Jaco were trying to work out who was hooking next game – ParaAdie suggested they toss for it – he’s got previous in these type of game allegedly, whilst over in midfield Dave’TheAgent’Ivermy was filling in Harry’s application for the England Footie Manager’s job (he’s the Bookies favourite)
“You from Stoke?” ‘English is second language’ wrote Dave,
“Bus Pass?”… ‘Cheaper for the Team Coach on away games’ wrote Dave…
“Full working knowledge of the Rules?” - OK we’ll skip that question
“Salary is £4,000,000 a year – is that enough?” “Ohh Yuss” fifteen voices responded
England –v-Italy. Scrappy game. WorldCupNick and ScotchAdy came over all Latino and cheered Italy’s 2 tries, whilst DamoS went to the Bar
“Want a Pasty Wallsey?” – “Ohh Yuss”
Keiran was keeping well out of trouble – he supports Liverpoo but has learned not to shake their hands – and to count his loose change afterwards. Ian was struggling to stay awake!!
France –v-Ireland was frozen off at the last minute so because there was a Brewery across the road, Ady The Un-coordinator was sent over to organise a party…
‘Nuff said!!
Food time.. The Royal Beagle. The food was ok – tasted of chicken
“Want a Curry Wallsey?” “Oh Yusss”
…. And much, much later, in dribs and drabs the usual suspects all gathered back at the Hotel for a sing-song, Clarky & Harry failing to remember the words of Sloop John B – as usual.
The One and Only showed his winnings, Ian failed to stay awake (did anyone take a picture of the flower he grew out of his ear?), Strauney bought himself another beer (twice in the same day!) and Smudge talked us through how he changed the light bulb – a ‘lack of action’ replay
“It’s your round Wallsey!!” “Ohh Nooo Nooo Nooo”
Ady couldn’t find his jacket “I was at this club talking to a scouse bird…..”
Some brave souls were still there at 3 o’clock – the conversation would have been scintillating wouldn’t it?
Thanks to Ali for organising it all – beaten by the weather!! Great effort Mate |
