(KELVIN HOLDS HIS NERVE)
Sorry for the delay in getting the blog up and running again guys! Been a little busy at work lately and just haven't found time!!!!
It's two weeks running now that we've been down the Seabreeze, but at least this week we didn't have to play upstairs without a bar, no toilets, no heating and an 8ft Oche!
The draw was done and all eyes were on the player last in the singles. Not just because he would be calling the first game of doubles but in case the score managed to get to 11 - 0! Liquids (Kelvin) was on last, so he started drinking the stronger stuff, full fat coke!!!
With the Ex Serv HG trailing 5 or 6 legs behind us, Skip wanted to make sure we didn't drop any more legs than we needed too! A straight 8 players indicated his intentions and with the 'B' team facing our arch rivals it was sure to work out well for us?
Doubles went according to plan with a 4 - 0 victory so on with the singles. It was better to be on early than later as the wins kept on coming in, 5 - 0, 6 - 0, 7 - 0, 8 - 0, 9 - 0, 10 - 0, 11 - 0 and on with the most important match of the evening!!!! LIQUIDS.
He didn't let us down and lost in fine style to make the final score 11 - 1 with the boys all in fine voice singing 'you are the one and only'! All you needed then was a comforting arm from Sheepy (Spence) to tell you that there is always next week!
In other news:
1/ The 'B' team didn't take 2 many legs of the Ex Serv HG with the final score 10 - 2, Damn!
2/ As Skip will tell you, don't leave your car outside Parkers before the Pot Black if you want your bumper to be in one piece!
3/ Serious (Matt) lost his patients to me at Liar dice before losing to Liquids mate at darts!
4/ Line of the evening must come from the better half of Gottsfreecabs.com/not/always/available/anymore. When most of the taxi's had picked up the boys and I was then leaving with Fluffy to go back down the Pot Black, Weekend Sportsman (PH) was still playing pool and would get a lift back with Gottsfreecabs! Lauren then said to me . . . That's right, just leave us here to wait for that w-anchor !!! Brilliant stuff.
5/ Liquids won his match quite convincingly but I wanted to say he lost because I'm a git! Well done mate and put them tears away now!
6/ Actual result was 12 - 0
Joke
A man went into a clock shop and put his nob on the counter.
"Can you fix this for me darling?"
"Sorry sir, this is a clock shop not a cock shop!"
"Well" said the man.
"In that case, can you put 2 hands and a face on it then?"
Well done boys and lets hope we keep this up!
