View Full Version : Here's An Idea For You Joe
I think most people will have realised (hopefuly!) that my forte lies in writing rather that photography.

Keep trying Joe and maybe someday you'll rediscover your form.
Maybe James could bring you to an Illen Celtic game where you could study the game at it's most basic level!

I think you're an excellent snapper, Joseph! :D
There's a cover shot in you yet...even Peadar makes in it, when the price is right!
Gerry
so the programme guys are paying for contributions these days, eh?
:D

Well, we have a limited budget of twelve bags of crisps and 33 back issues, but we're hopeful of stretching that through the season. It's our attractive bribes like this that ensure the standard of guest writing is so high. We'd have a lot more to offer only Roddy Forsyth cost us six bags of Taytos, our only two Mars bars and a copy of City v Galway United.
The more I look at your first shot again, the more I feel like using it on the cover v Swansea or Scarborough - a real exclusive that one...

hey watch it Boez fan;)
Celtic are one of the west cork leagues newest and most up and coming clubs
I mean we dont have players like Hartigan playing for us but were doing our best.fair enough were relegated this year, but we had some shocking ref decisions go against us and some bad injuries. No doubt we will bounce back up to the premier this year.
at least now we have the skibb div 1 derby to look forward to
:D

I seem to recall that last year's City V Scarborough match programme wasn't edited by yourself, so what makes you think this year's one would be??????????
Gerry Desmond
18/07/2001, 11:38 AM
Jeez, Joe, I'm cut to the quick by that retort...:(
Gerry the deeply hurt editor
PS: No Taytos for you after that...
I'm sorry Gerry. I guess I just crossed the line. What can I do to make it up to you? Maybe I can give you a copy of the Scarborough programme?
Gerry Desmond
18/07/2001, 11:49 AM
I just knew the Taytos would get to you, I just knew it!!
BTW, I have the Scarborough issue - it's really brill (not)...
Also just heard they're cutting the grass @ the X; any chance you could pop over...?:D

check your mail Gerry
the groundsman has just sent round an email to everyone saying he has cancelled cutting the grass till after lunch
the sun is out now and you expect me to just drop everything and run over to the Cross to get a photo of a man cutting the grass?
btw check your e-mail

Bad news for me is that I've just started to build a Compaq ProLiant 8500 with Win2K and after that I have to install Exchange 2K so I wont get to Tallinn in time for the Bohs game.
For such a small fella I carry many people! :mad:
Gerry Desmond
18/07/2001, 1:03 PM
No, I don't think it would have been Jackie.
Probably Joe sneaking through the gate in disguise to get some more shots...he's determined to outdo Peadar! There's a strong wind blowing now, so he's more than likely gonna capture that. He may also be yellow packing for Academy Street, for all we know.

There was a fire in one of the other buildings so evreyone was sent home. I'm currently looking for something to set on fire in this building. I wish I was a joyrider from Tallagh, then I'd have a car to burn out.
just light up a fag and set off the smoke alarms. i'm sure no one will know it was you.
Gerry Desmond
18/07/2001, 1:41 PM
...the Finnish cigarette police! So, are you definitely missing the Tallinn trip, Peadar? They might hold the ferry if they knew you were from West Cork...they might even delay the ko!
Gerry
that remains me of the time i rang up St. Colman's Park to find out what time kick-off was and they replied 'What time can you get here for?'
:D
Gerry Desmond
18/07/2001, 1:50 PM
...there's a guy painting a wall in the X. Any chance Joe? Thought not!

Definately missing the Tallinn trip.
The next ferry would have me in for 20:40 with the game due to end at 20:15
An engineer came in to fix an array controller and he brought a NIC with him. It was a funny sight to see him try to walk out to his car with the NIC protruding from his rear end. He'll bring the right card with him the next time I'll tell ya.
Win2K is gone on so I'm starting Exchange 2K and then I'm off to try and find a bar with Estonian TV.
Some chance of that I'd imagine.

Joe I'm still laughing at the St Colemans Park story :D

If someone else posted on this thread it would have 80 replies.
Go on pump up the total.
Peadar
19/07/2001, 7:42 AM
Nobody is going to reply?
I suppose I'll just have to live with the fact that I never made 80:(
Gerry Desmond
19/07/2001, 9:01 AM
...a quiet life! Happy now, Peadar?
Gerry
.... to be part of the longest tread.... this will never happen again. methinks??..... cause a collection of people could not possably want to go thru this again
Gerry Desmond

But it was just a slow day at the coalface. One more like that and I reckon I'll be having my slow days somewhere else!

Why didn't you take Joe's camera and head over to the cross for the grass cutting and wall painting Gerry.
Although on second thought you might leave an opening for Joe to edit the programme and that's the last thing we want :p
Let me get this straight - not only are my photography skills being called into question but now my editing skills are as well?
Gerry,
Is it the comment or the signature which is right.......
Gerry Desmond
19/07/2001, 10:30 AM
...just log off again for another few minutes Joe, so we can assassinate your character some more?:D
BTW, I still think you're hot favourite for the next cover - the friendly against Shimizu S-Pulse.
Gerry
Peadar
19/07/2001, 10:40 AM
Where am I going to get a decent cover shot before the next game?!?!
Will a Finnish team do?
Gerry Desmond
19/07/2001, 10:45 AM
...I have to point out that Joe has set a very high standard, producing quality that has never been seen before :D He's also proved he's prepared to work in all weathers. If I can put it bluntly, you'll not be eating too many Taytos this season...:D
Gerry
Gerry,
you might want to retract that last statement as I am currently in negotiations with a number of publications and, as a free agent, am not in a position to commit myself to the matchday programme at this moment in time.
Peadar
19/07/2001, 10:52 AM
...I was planning on telling the wife to pack in her job because I thought the extra Tayto coming in would be enough for us both :(
I'll get you your cover shot, so help me god I'll get it.
Busty Finnish blonde wearing my away City shirt and nothing else? It's very short!!
Joe's creative genius wont last the whole season and you'll be back knocking on my hotel room door.
Peadar
19/07/2001, 11:15 AM
My little frien in the office here sent me this in a mail today.
"The thunder was really amazing. Actually I'm a bit scared of thunder but yesterday it was kind of beautiful.
This type of wheather is not very normal in Helsinki, I think I have never seen a thunder like that before and these have been the first thunders this summer."
Mother Nature Rocks!

Betcha! The best writing comes from the streets, maaaan!:)
Gerry
what like Fleet Street, Academy Street, etc.?
Leonard
19/07/2001, 11:56 AM
The only writing I ever saw on the street was a big "SLOW" sign writen on the road coming in about Tivoli. I''m not saying it was bad - as it was to the point and neatly written, but it wasn't really long, and I managed to finish reading it in about two days. Apparently a sequel, "BUS LANE" has now been written. Havn't read it yet, so don't spoil the ending for me please.
