  5. ME complaints - Allan speaks out

    Don't know if anyone spotted this, but it's worth a read.... Some Complaints About the ME By BT-allanfc on 11/03/2011, under General Information. Over the last couple of weeks we have received a number of emails complaining about the match engine, and I thought the best place to try and address...
  6. OD - Match 10

    BATTY SHRIMPERS v the_yak_pack BOT-bashing today, so rested a couple and set everyone to V. Attacking. We can tell you that BATTY SHRIMPERS won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking slow and low. Tough for everyone. Could be a low scoring match on this sunny day. We've dropped...

    A rant.

    1. Chanting '****ing Useless to our own player who puts his ****ing heart into his performances, doing what nobody else wants to do, the ****ing dirty work. 2. Cheering when Rhys Evans catches the ball. Brilliant. 3. Constant moaning. 4. Chanting the Seagull louder than anything else. 5...
  8. Car trouble...

    We have a 52 Renault Clio. Really reliable motor, until recently. Been finding that occasionally (maybe once a fortnight) it won't start. It'll crank but it never catches. However every time after about 5 mins of trying it'll finally start. I'm fairly relaxed about it, but Mrs Pubey isn't. It's...

    Monday Joke

    Paddy and Mick were walking down a street in London . Paddy happens to look in one of the shop windows and sees a sign that catches his eye. The sign said: "Suits £5.00 each, Shirts £2.00 each, trousers £2.50 per pair". Paddy says to his pal, "Mick, Look! We could buy a whole lot...

Although stealing lighters is despicable and morally wrong, it is always going to happen whether it be an accident or you're going all out to steal it.So I have written the OFFICIAL rules of stealing lighters so we all have a...

    Battrick - season review and player of season

    Well, it's been an unmitigated disaster. Bottom of OD Level IV, just scraped through FC to stay in my division, and did not much in 20-20. The only good news is Jeffers is now an exceptional/remarkable batsman. I need decent bowlers. Anyway, back to the player of season malarkey. Will do OD...

    The Referral System

    End this farce now. Having watched a fair bit of the 4th Test against the WIndies and some of the Saffers v Convicts, I am totally against this ridiculous system. Harper is bad enough in the middle but sat on his useless convict arse in front of a tv replay screen is even worse. I've always...

    Utilising the squad.....

    With two big home games coming up on Saturday and Tuesday, there is one squad member who we desperately need to come good: our number thirteen. The team is currently woefully short of confidence, but we know with the crowd behind them that we can take on anyone - we proved that against Chelsea...

    Stanford Super Series

    England beat Middlesex last night in a warm-up to the $20m game. Not the most inspiring of games on a slow scoring pitch. No-one really seemed to get going, although Shah - playing against his county - top-scored for England and probably looked as fluent as anyone. Strauss dropped the easiest...

    Two goals from new-signing Dougie Freedman bring the points back to Roots Hall. After an early scare at the other end, Dougie nets his first before the score is doubled through an own goal, this time following a cross from Francis on the right. A deflected goal then brings the home side back...

    Embarrassment on the train

    Sitting there on the train this morning minding my own business, train pulls into Benfleet where the usual gaggle get on to fight over the remaining seats. Woman who I would guess is about 35 boards but catches her foot as she comes in. Fortunately she doesn't fall down however much more...
