Schumi wanted to take a picture of him, but Kerr was having none of it!

You must have been in early to get a STIG - colour printer went, so we had only a third of the copies we wanted - we'd sold out 20 minutes before kick off...

He was at the Fulham game today aswell. He fairly gets around, doesn't he?

That was about the only brightspot of last night, I left after John O'Flynn got his hat-trick.

The worst we've played in a long, long time. Robbie Mac especially had a nightmare as did Alan "I'm an inconsistent git" Cawley.

Who was responsible for the Blue Review?

Good stuff anyway, the bits about old UCD games were great.

It's not what it's worth, it's what we get for it that's important! :D

Are you trying to do us out of our hard-earned cash @ndy? It must be worth at least two buckets.

Well I reckon it's worth three skeeters and a gazebo. I remember when we used to call a gazebo a dime hut, because they cost a nickle. I went down to the dime hut store with my pet donkey, then I tied an onion to my belt which was the style at the time.

You write 6s 7d, you say 6 and 7 pence.

I reckon that it'd enough to buy approximately 7/16 of a rood of land in Western Australia.

So by Andy's current fanzine-sale predictions, we should own the whole state by the end of the season?

6 and 7 rather than 6 and 7 pence, and besides he's writing it not saying it so technically he's correct to write 6s 7d now back to my story...

I was going to buy a gazebo so I entered the dime hut store and I asked the attendant to show me a tellywicker which was the trade name for a dime hut or a gazebo as it's now known. Anyway I had an onion tied to my belt which was the style at the time and upon seeing the tellywicker I remembered back to when I was a boy and the times my dad and I used to go out buying gazebos, which is the modern name for a tellywicker or a dime hut as it was also known.

You could say 6 and 7 or 6 and 7 pence. Technically, 6 and 7 could be £6 7s (if you were buying a house or something), so 6 and 7 pence then differentiates between the two. 6 and 7 pence would have been more commonly said.

And anyway, sure I write things as I'd say them - that's what makes the fanzine such a riveting read!!!:D

And I'm not the only one to write things as I say them, as your lack of punctuation shows...;)

Now where was I, ah yes I was reminiscing of the old times I used to have with my father out in the tellywicker, which was the trade name for a gazebo which used to be call a dime hut. We'd sit out there watching the fish go by in the river, of course we didn't know what to do with fish in those days. We were a simple folk who were afraid to eat them because we thought they might give us a bout of the Pat Burke's and be constantly slagged in some magazine. Anyway I was talking to the clerk in the dime hut store and he showed me the tellywickers he had and I said to him "You call those tellywicker's why back in 19-dickety-6 we knew what a tellywicker was, it was a dime hut, and that ain't no gazebo." This confused the clerk as the word gazebo hadn't been invented yet.

Whaaaaattt!!! Matlock is starting in five minutes, ah nuts to this I'm going home.

Right back to the land of the sane I reckon there's the bones of a Grandpa Simpson guest column in my post, I'll fiddle it about a little but it was important that I told this story.
