Anyone know what's happened to Beany? Hasn't been on here for a while.

John when you say "in the back next to the dog hair and the tools..." Browny's going in his own car and Stevie T isn't coming this year. I'm confused.

Presentation evening we don't know about yet - we need to have an end of season night out sometime soon - how about next Friday or Saturday (22nd or 23rd)? We should do it soon cos otherwise it'll be too close to Newquay and we'll be getting too late to sort out voting and trophies for the presentation evening.

Which, in turn, brings me on to more serious matters - management. Subsequent blog required for this I think...

Ever get the feeling your being ignored? Ever get the feeling you could say anything you wanted and get away with it? Then sign up for the James Green invisability school in three easy lessons of just $13.95 we will teach you how to avoid conversation how to mock your friends with a smile sign up today for your free pair of Enscribed underwear!
Its certainly the blog you have written that makes the most sense Smurfy! Me and Crabbeman are both booked in with Genghis as well, but there will be no pre-shotgun malarky. Either we take it in turns nicely, or we race for it, because I'll win that. Actually, 7 hours next to Mikey....you can have it Smurfy. Ill get in the back with the dog hair and tools.
Forget the Sharks I think with the amount of beer we are gonna be taking on board most of us will look like Beached whales!! Except for you shane i expect you to be Riding the tube of the wave.........hmmm I'm sure that was meant for Neil any how enough of the Gay jokes!
Dont worry about them sharks chaps they will be more worried about me biting them.
Bring on Newquay im so excited i could crush a grape.
Ghengis am i booked shotgun in the Ghenginator mobile? And if so who is coming onboard with us?
Why has Neil bottled it?

I am thinking of signing on next season but only as an emergency emergency emergency cover and if any one tells my Mrs that, they will need an emergency ambulance.

When is presentation evening?

Think that is the longest blog i have ever written.

P.S Shane i love you
"Sea-water alcohol levels off Britain's South coast have risen above legal safety thresholds" a spokesman said...
I know, reason I said it was that I thought maybe we should warn the local fisherman that they probably wont catch anything that weekend due to all the fish being scared off.
Basking sharks mate - nothing that'll do you any harm. You're better off worrying about Smurf.
Nicely done, like I say, if your happy to text me your a/c number I'll pay it straight into your account. I think Crabbeman is going to pay Stronachs money, I had an email from the Robster yesterday and he is definitly coming.

Surfing sounds cracking, I can see myself standing on the board and floating a long, long way out to see.

There have been shark sightings in Newquay, you know...
Right, I have decided to bite the bullet and pay everybody's deposit for Newquay, otherwise it just wasn't gonna happen.

Not moaning about it, it was as much hassle for me to get the money off everyone as it was for everyone to get the money to me - so it's my decision to go ahead and pay the deposits, so it's cool.

So far, only one person from the list has told me they're not coming, that's Neil. Which leaves 16 of us, and at £15 a person that's £240 I'm sending off today.

So, you'll appreciate I'd like that money back without having to do too much chasing. I know everyone is pretty good with that sort of thing otherwise I wouldn't be doing it. Can somebody kindly stump up for Stronach's £15 and then get the money off him if that's ok?

So now it really is on, and I can go ahead and book up surfing lessons - I take it no one's bottling that are they? Even Smurf's having a go and he's got a broken leg...
A ha ha ha haaa...

Monday morning, good to laugh.

Firstly, A note to mr. sills Blog Tuesday April 5th 2005, My Idea of the last game of the season as i was told was a mess around as it didn't make much difference weather we lost or won!
Secondly, I was also told we would all be playing out of position to make it more interesting as it was mess around!
Thirdly, with genghis at right back me at left back ashly in goal crabman in the center of midfield you on the left wing andam in the center of midfield and paul curtis on the right wing pretty much was the normal shefford sunday team,
Forthly, My stinking hangover Did not allow me to run anywhere it only allowed me to keep watching the ball and doing the odd one "shite" touch into touch!!

Anyhow its been an up a down season on the whole and for me i'm looking forward already to the new season with high hopes!

Bring on newquay!!!

Dunno about times and stuff yet, but plenty of stuff to do in Newquay if you have to wait until you can check in. Wouldn't have thought they'd have people staying Thursday and not Friday so i'd guess anytime...
Its not quite as fluent on ehre as it used to be is it?! Where have Matty and Paul disappeared to? Dont try to tell me they actually work now...

Quality mate, should be a good crack.

Likewise if you give us your Account number and sort code then ill transfer it over.

As for driving im gona take a half day that day, will be leaving at around half 1. So if anyone wants a lift let me know?
Good work there Shaner. Ive got the day off on the Friday so I might walk down to Newquay. What time is everyone thinking of driving down? Is there an early crew? Ive just found out I start my new job role on the monday after the tour, so Im sure I'll make a good first hungover impression!

If you text me your account number and sort code, I'll transfer the money straight into your account (3 working days if your non HSBC...).

Sorry it wasnt more entertaining on sunday, I found Beanie's attmepts to play football pretty amusing for the first 20 mins of the second half. Got annoying after that.
Booked.

£15 deposit each, another £15 to be paid on arrival.

As there are 17 of us, I can't afford to pay the deposit up front, and with no games and no training, it's up to you lot to get the money to me. What do you think to a few beers Thursday or Friday?
Yeah I've had the same thing where I've typed out a humorous little post but then it freezes up and either doesn't post it or posts it twice.

Not much to say about Sunday really, other than it could have been more entertaining for those of us on the sidelines. Funny old season really, we've not produced anything like the quality we have for the last two seasons, we've been completely inconsistent and when we've been bad we've ben very bad, but then we've had some great results as well - Kennet, who we beat in the Bowness Cup (and deserved to) have reached the final of the Lambourn Cup (the Prem Div cup competition) and the semis of the Benevolent Cup (although that might mean that they won one game).

But it's all good experience. Bit of a shame, because I think the quality of Div One this season was sufficient for us to have won it if we'd got a bit of momentum behind us at the beginning of the season - I don't think Partick or Vodafone are that much better than us at all.

There you go, 4th, 5th or 6th place probable finish isn't actually that bad, and Kennet were in 4th place when they got hoisted up to the Prem division so lets hope that doesn't happen this season...

As for Newquay - just sorting out arrangements and finding out how much deposit they actually want. I've got a list of 17 names as follows:-

John Sills
Smurf
Browny
Beeny
Crabbeman
Peter Kay (aha ha ha...)
Dave Lewis
Matt
Adam
Jamie
Paul
Neil
Rob Stronach
Ashley
Shane
Genghis
Tony
Crossy

So that is what I'm intending to book. If anyone drops out then you will lose your deposit (whatever that is) - as these guys don't seem as flexible as the lot at the Gynway. If anyone else wants to come then fine but I can't guarantee you'll be in the same accommodation as us, might have to find a room yourself.

As for travel, I imagine the train journey will be expensive, but will avoid the traffic/country lanes - the main problem we seem to be finding with the trains is that there are no fucking trains. For example, if I leave Southampton at 2.10pm on the Friday afternoon, I can get to Newquay station for 10am Saturday morning. Useful? I think not. I should give up on the train idea if I were you and sort out cars.

I know there was talk about renting a minibus, but let's face it, who's gonna rent it, who's gonna drive it and who's gonna be happy in the back with Genghis driving? Exactly.

Sorry I can't offer anyone a lift but I'm driving from Southampton and then going back to Torquay on the way back.

As soon as I've confirmed the room booking I'll get us booked up for some surfing lessons on the Saturday. Browny, if you don't behave on Friday night again then you won't be able to come surfing ok?

It has been a bit quiet on here recently, Ive been trying to post stuff but it hasnt been letting me. I thought we were planning cars down to Newquay? I think trains are a good idea, then everyone can drink, but cost wise its probably cheaper to drive.

Last game of the season tomorrow, been a weird season thats for sure. I think we need to regroup over the summer, make some decisions about things and start fresh next year, and try to get promoted! We've got the quality.
