How did you do your eardrum? Isn't that incredibly painful? Doesn't it affect your balance? Does that mean you'll be shooting straight tonight?

"Will you marry me?"

"Interesting..."

I keep reading different stories about people seeing family members and friends being swooped away, it's horrendous.

John - Would it be easier if we did hand signals instead?

Sounds like there should be a fair few people there tonight then. Might have enough for three teams.

Its shocking stuff, I nearly had a fight with a customer yesterday during the three minute silence, she walked into my room and started asking questions, and when I didnt answer she got annoyed, so I tried to show her what was happening and she started saying 'Are you deaf?', 'Dont you know the answer?', and 'Whats wrong with you?' before she walked off.

Browny - I had the same problem on New Years Eve. The Networks are always so busy, I couldnt get through to anyone.

Ill be trawling the Reading boys up to training tonight. I would appreciate it if this time I didnt get taken out before the match has started by a scouse twat, making my limp for the next three days. Also, Ive got a perforated ear drum, so If you're shouting 'Man-on' do it in my right ear. Or, if you want to insult me, do it in my left ear.

Good to hear you might be back to work mate, nice one. I dunno where the game is but if Genghis doesn't come on here today then he'll tell us tonight and I'll tell text you.

The island that Julie and I have been to a couple of times in the Maldives was decimated by the tsunami - loads of tourists were swept away but fortunately over the island itself so managed to grab on to trees and stuff and survived. The resort manager was swept out into the lagoon though and drowned - in front of his wife and daughter. Nasty. The island was evacuated and everyone was picked up by a Pakistani Naval Destroyer the next day from the main island nearby. They're now needing to rebuild the island from scratch.

Leg is coming along fine thanks Shane,have an appointment at doctors friday and i am hoping that he will be signing me back to work on monday.Can somebody let me know were the game is this sunday please.

Congrats Browny

Brave taking jewellery into Bar Risa, but very romantic Browny proposing at midnight on New Year's Eve.

Plus if she'd said no you could have stormed the DJ booth and ruined everyone else's night as well. "C*nts!" over the speakers and walked out.

That was my first question! I emailed him. He said

"I knew I wanted to do it, but didn't know when/where, I had a ring and everything ready so did it at Midnight on New Years eve in Bar Risa"

So I take that as planned. I'm not sure about one knee, but if he did I bet he got his trouser knee dirty... The first job for the 'wife to be' !

Congratulations browny, was it a drunk thing or did you mean it? Assuming it was deliberate, are you setting a date or just saying like "next year" or something?

One knee or a bedroom job?

Hi all, Happy New Year. hope you all had a good one.

Just thought I would let you all know that me and Kirsty got engaged at New Years.

Hopefully see you all at training on thursday.

I got a wind-up penguin that waddles around the table and shits out brown sweets...
I predict that I'm going to get one. I hope that just because we're playing the Blue Ball people are still going to try and get the ball down and put together some good stuff. I'm worried that people will be shooting from everywhere!
They seem a nice bunch. Apparently on New Years Eve at The Blue Ball there was a massive scrap which took a riot van of police to sort out!! No I didn't go there.

Mr Curtis predicts himself a hat-trick eh? I predict myself warmth and a nice bi jacket to wear. Lets hope they both come true. Anyone get anything decent for xmas? I got some dog-tags from my Aunt, which I'm particularly proud of and have started wearing them whilst going out to try and buy a Burberry patterned fiesta.

Happy new year to you all, By the sounds of things we all need to go to detox or rehab, looking forward to seeing you there!! Training thursday?? I'm not availible sunday but I am for the following sunday.

Hey Smurfy how's the leg doing? Does anyone know how Dan's getting on?

Happy New Year all, i am totally the opposite of Shane and Matt as i am now on the beer more, such a hard life i lead.Ghengis i dont think i will be able to play this sunday sorry mate.
Matt think yourself lucky that you did not have a thong on when they helped you out of your boxers in Liquid.other wise they would of cut you in half.

I'm also right off the beer for a month now (well til January payday anyway) and have put my gym back up to get back in shape. Sadly as I checked it out yesterday afternoon to see that it all worked, I realised that where I actually sit I face out of the window and can see the corner of the pub. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

I'm kind of looking forward to Thursday, but dreading it at the same time. Gotta get going at some point though, so bring it on.

As for pant ripping, I did feel very sorry for you in Liquid, couldn't quite voice it though cos I was pissing myself laughing at the site of you literally being lifted up by your pants. I had nothing to do with it, though I did wake up the next day to find that photo of Lewis wearing the remnants of your pants on his head. You are a very strange group of mates. It's nice.

The holiday period hit me this morning when I just couldn't seem to get out of bed! I'm going to try and lay off the beer for a couple of weeks to try and get into shape, yes, just a smaller round sort of shape.

I won't be going to mad on Thursday as I haven't used my back since the HN game, other than to prop myself up at bars. And I'm not sure my arse has quite recovered from the massive wedgey at the xmas bash. I think pant ripping should be banned. Otherwise I can't afford to come to too many more Shefford nights out!

Make sure some sort of warm up is done before you go mad on ThursdayMike, No-one could walk for a week after that step up challenge the other month!!

Do we know when the cup game is and who it's definitely against yet? If it's OLA we need to put some work in on that one. Not looking forward to training this Thursday, have eaten and drunk way too much over the last 10 days, forgot what it feels like to be hungry and sober.

Well John?? Have I scored More than you this season??

Wheres Hilly? Why doesnt he come on the Blogger?! He is a lucky boy that I didnt go with him to Swindon vs Colchester yesterday...0-3! Three nil, away! Swindon? Who are they, bunch of farmers...
