Got him to sign it at half-time.
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.

A sheeps foot and a bucket of last months ale.
Are you trying to do us out of our hard-earned cash @ndy? It must be worth at least two buckets.Quote:

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.Quote:

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?Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
Bloody students! :D

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.
