I didn't get a text invite either! Its like waiting to see if you have Live8 tickets! Beeney, are you sure you sent the text to anyone?! Because it seems you might not have got any replies because noone got the invitation!

Beeny puts himself in the running for the first game's Man Of The Match vote winner...

Sorry Beeny I didn't mean to cause such a backlash. Plus it does seem that Smurf (Manager) and Matt (Psychotic Killer) are the two people to take the most offense. Oh dear.

I didn't even get invited...! Bloody charming that is!

Grrr...

Yea Beenie i didnt want to go either and dont pretend to not have my number as i spoke to you the other day and you have my personal and work mobile.

You selfish so and so.

Hi Matt

Don't wanna go anyway Beeny actually. Actually. Don't need a gay cruise to buy beer, we have a Tescos in Andover you know. And it's jammed full of chavs. But thanks for the offer, hope you have a great time.

Watch out for sailors offering rum. Or Ashley offering you rum.

First training next Wednesday - I'd got myself all fit but have let it all go to pot. Fuck.

Thas ok Matthew as you will lose plenty of weight next season........................

Running the line !

I'll have a bet that more beer goes down my throat than food.

...and if your manager I can't get moaned at for being hungover. Hypocrite!

Thats right Matthew but i bet you eat hell of a lot more than a lettuce leaf.

Oh Oh is that the Fat Matt arguement rising again

Cool, the halfway's a good shout. Relaxing. Calm. Peaceful surroundings. No need for me to get uptight and angry.

Of course everyone is invited but the only two people that got back to me so far was crabbe and ash sent out a multi text to everyone but no replys had a look into it and its £48 a cabin leaving around the end of september but its probably over a weekend so would have to work it around football, maybe do it in the week, if people are interested then numbers would be a good idea! if your interested then i can look deeper into it and sort out dates deposits and stuff!

Let me know!

Beeny. Booze Cruise. Everyone invited? Charming.

It's at The Halfway. There will be a choice from a set-menu in advance and it will cost you £15 for the meal. That way there's no faffing about with "I only had a lettuce leaf" and all that crap. If you only want a lettuce leaf, best to bring it with you and eat it before you come in. Everyone can then just pay for their own drinks at the bar and everybody's happy.

As for what goes on after that - dunno really, we can get taxis into town and stuff, just see how everyone feels eh?

7.30pm Saturday 23rd it is then.

Im with you on this one Beeny no idea where we are going either, im guessing just on past presentation nights that it is at an indian somewhere in Newbury, I,e Nawab or something like that. Ill be bringing my Mrs along Smurf if that ok.

Dear All,

I don't normally make a habit of forwarding charity requests, but this seemed to be a particularly good cause. I know it touched me personally.

Mute Tourettes Syndrome has long been in the shadow of its more famous sister-disease, 'Tourettes Syndrome', and although much rarer, is even more tragic in its consequences.

While a child suffering from Tourettes has difficulty in containing its anger and frustration, a child with Mute Tourettes suffers the opposite fate, and is unable to express their true feelings.

There is, however, an answer. A great deal has been achieved by the Mute Tourettes Foundation using new art therapy techniques. However, their work can only continue with your help. Just £1.37 will keep a child supplied with crayons for a whole day. £5 will provide them with enough paper for a week.


Please see the attached image on how your donations can help.

Are you saying that all the people that 'tag along' are from Reading?!?! Nigel is in the USA so wont be coming, Craig would probably break his leg ten minutes before getting on the train even if he did want to come, poor lad, and Colin, well, Colin will probably sit on a table on his own or wait outside for us. I'll try to sort him out...

I don't know where the presentation is being held, I know its at a table?? But where illustrious leader??

Wonder what you mean, but thanks for joining in.

Good the table is booked then, Still wondering where missed the blog on where it is!

Well I'm glad we're all calmed down.

Table is booked for the 23rd. We're limited to 20 people because of the area of the restaurant we're going into, so if you can let me know if you're coming and if you'd like to bring a lady-friend guest that's fine. No additionals this time I'm afraid, so your nigels, colins, craigs, etc are gonna have to miss out. If we go over 20 on the players and girls then I'll have to think of something innovative. Like women are only allowed in the presentation area if they're partner is collecting an award... Or women allowed in if they're clothing doesn't take up much room... Women only allowed on laps, no spare chairs...

Yeh - reflexing on my comments I guess that was a little harsh. Although they would probably arrest me for my poor quality of dancing, before the arson attack.
