B-TEAM XMAS BLOG


Hello Billy
Hello Johnny
Hello everyone

It was nice of Captain Quiff to ask us back for Christmas wasn’t it Johnny
Yes it was Billy and hello to all our nice friends at the Pot Black B.
How have they been getting on Johnny
Well last week they lost in the league to Ex Servicemens A but we know because we were there weren’t we.
Well you were but I might as well not have been cause I didn’t win a game all night.
We were doing ok at 2-2 after the doubles but then we lost the first 5 singles thanks to Legend, Quiff, You, Shoot em up and Wall-E.
Hold on isn’t that last one a Robot
Well if he is he needs an upgrade
There must be a song about that
I then won followed by a loss for Yid before my bruvver won the last game
So we lost 8-4 but we were a bit short of players weren’t we
Yes we were missing Clint and Mozzie
What’s mozzie?
It’s Moysie and Ozzie, you know they always come together a bit like Jedward
Oh good so what happened this week
This week was the KO cup but you missed it Johnny
I know I was feeling a little queer
Now there must definitely be a song about that but couldn’t you have done that on a different night
No I was ill you pillock
Oh sorry Johnny
Anyway we had to play 2 matches against LSSCSCCSCSCCSCSCSCSSSC followed by the factory Arms and we won 5-2 and 5-1 to get to the next round
That’s very good and nice to win the last night of the year before Christmas

Speaking of Christmas Johnny, I’d like to sing some Christmas songs for all our friends.
That’s a good idea Billy but remember to think of health and safety and make sure you don’t offend anyone
What do you mean Johnny
Don’t worry you just sing and I’ll look after the rest

OK then lets start

The Rocking Song

Billy

Little Jesus, sweetly sleep, do not stir; we will lend a coat of fur,
We will rock you, rock you, rock you, we will rock you, rock you, rock you

Johnny

Fur is no longer appropriate wear for small infants, both due to risk of allergy to animal fur, and for ethical reasons. Therefore faux fur, a nice cellular blanket or perhaps micro-fleece material should be considered a suitable alternative. Please note: only persons who have been subject to a Criminal Records Bureau check and have enhanced clearance will be permitted to rock baby Jesus. Persons must carry their CRB disclosure with them at all times and be prepared to provide three forms of identification before rocking commences.

Jingle Bells

Billy

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh, O'er the fields we go - Laughing all the way ...

Johnny

A risk assessment must be submitted before an open sleigh is considered safe for members of the public to travel on. The risk assessment must also consider whether it is appropriate to use only one horse for such a venture, particularly if passengers are of larger proportions. Please note, permission must be gained from landowners before entering their fields. To avoid offending those not participating in celebrations, we would request that laughter is moderate only and not loud enough to be considered a noise nuisance.


While Shepherds Watched

Billy


While shepherds watched their flocks by night, all seated on the ground

The angel of the Lord came down and glory shone around.

Johnny


The union of Shepherd's has complained that it breaches health and safety regulations to insist that shepherds watch their flocks without appropriate seating arrangements being provided, therefore benches, stools and orthopaedic chairs are now available. Shepherds have also requested that due to the inclement weather conditions at this time of year that they should watch their flocks via cctv cameras from centrally heated shepherd observation huts. Please note, the angel of the lord is reminded that before shining his/her glory all around she/he must ascertain that all shepherds have been issued with glasses capable of filtering out the harmful effects of UVA,UVB and Glory.


Rudolph the red nosed reindeer

Billy


Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeerhad a very shiny nose.

And if you ever saw him,you would even say it glows

Johnny


You are advised that under the Equal Opportunities for All policy, it is inappropriate for persons to make comment with regard to the ruddiness of any part of Mr. R. Reindeer. Further to this, exclusion of Mr R Reindeer from the Reindeer Games will be considered discriminatory and disciplinary action will be taken against those found guilty of this offence. A full investigation will be implemented and sanctions - including suspension on full pay - will be considered whilst this investigation takes place.


Little Donkey

Billy


Little donkey, little donkey on the dusty road; Got to keep on plodding onwards with your precious load

Johnny


The RSPCA have issued strict guidelines with regard to how heavy a load that a donkey of small stature is permitted to carry, also included in the guidelines is guidance regarding how often to feed the donkey and how many rest breaks are required over a four hour plodding period. Please note that due to the increased risk of pollution from the dusty road, Mary and Joseph are required to wear face masks to prevent inhalation of any airborne particles. The donkey has expressed his discomfort at being labelled 'little' and would prefer just to be simply referred to as Mr.Donkey. To comment upon his height or lack thereof may be considered an infringement of his equine rights.


We Three Kings

Billy

We three kings of Orient are Bearing gifts we traverse afar -Field and fountain, moor and mountain

Following yonder star

Johnny

Whilst the gift of gold is still considered acceptable - as it may be redeemed at a later date through such organisations as 'cash for gold' etc, gifts of frankincense and myrrh are not appropriate due to the potential risk of oils and fragrances causing allergic reactions. A suggested gift alternative would be to make a donation to a worthy cause in the recipient’s name or perhaps give a gift voucher. We would not advise that the traversing kings rely on navigation by stars in order to reach their destinations and suggest the use of RAC routefinder or satellite navigation, which will provide the quickest route and advice regarding fuel consumption. Please note as per the guidelines from the RSPCA for Mr Donkey, the camels carrying the three kings of Orient will require regular food and rest breaks. Facemasks for the three kings are also advisable due to the likelihood of dust from the camels hooves.


That’s all for this year
Goodbye Billy
Goodbye Johnny
Goodbye everyone

MERRY CHRISTMAS

B-TEAM REPORT


(inset - Paparrazi shots of Ozzie at home playing with his bowls - 'THAT's PORN!')
Well a couple of weeks have gone by with mixed fortunes for the B-side. A defeat to our A-team on 27th November was probably no surprise although we didn’t give too bad an account of ourselves with the score at a respectable 4-3 at one point before we lost the remaining games to lose 8-4. obviously we hadn’t anticipated the outstanding performance of their star player – no not Hooky, or Linx, or Craig or.... oh sod it ill put you out of your misery because youll never guess FLATTY! That said he did go on to win through to represent the A-team in the singles AND the doubles and was only not in the trebles because the rest of the team got a cob on and wouldn’t let him play! Well done Gaz.

This week saw us away to ex servs B and back in the points. An initial loss from Billy and Oz was followed by three straight doubles wins from Goochy and Stridey, me and Clint and Hos and Yid. Stridey then got us off to a good singles start with a win before I lost (against a 134 finish!) and so did Shawn. Four wins out the last five with only yiddo losing saw us home to a good 8-4 win.

Back at the club and a game of bowls broke out between me and billy (unbeaten over the proper distance of 21 points) and Shawn and Oz. a good game which we enjoyed revealed something strange about Ozzie. A good shot from me was followed by a cry from Oz of “that’s porn”. A bit later and a good shot from Bill and a cry from Oz “it’s porn”. Now we were all enjoying the game but we didn’t think it was that exciting! This continued all through the game with Ozzie seemingly obsessed with porn. I don’t know if you can read anything into this but maybe it explains why his eyesight is so bad!

Home to ex servs A this week and hoping for no injuries as we are down to the bare 8.

See you soon

A-TEAM REPORT (ON TIME!!!!)

Thought long and hard this week about doing a blog! Last week took me 1h 30m to prepare and Ready was a 'snail' and it never appeared in time for Friday!

Well I didn't want to disappoint you all, which is what Harry Burgess and Jimmy Shaw done to us!!!

At home (3rd week in a row now) and a tough match against the Ex Serv 'A'

With the draw completed it was important that we got a good result in the doubles! It was what we wanted with a 3 - 1 advantage going into the singles and a very high probability of us winning the match! With Jimmy Shaw and Harry Burgess on in the first three singles matches we thought it might be a bigger lead going into the tougher matches later on! Jimmy had a rocket up his ar$e and Harry's darts must have been thrown by someone else!!!! They played bl00dy brilliantly and we found ourselves 3 - 4 down and it was Plan B we had to rely on now!

I cant really remember the order of play, not because I was too drunk but distracted from the discussions of buying a drink after the match for the winner! Nigel Niblett was the guy everyone was laughing about after several players had recollections of Nibs requesting Pints or Bottles of Bulmers after winning his leg! This couldn't be true as Nibs is not a tight man, but doesn't win that many legs either!!!

Back to the darts and I beat the usual suspect Ian Burgess as we always get drawn against each other 4 - 4! Then it went 5 - 5 with Bash up next! Bash had 48 darts start to beat Harry Jarvis but was comfortably beaten in the end, OUCH! We needed to win on last with the Skip to get us a point and he was sold! 6 - 6!

I'd say well done in the end but if we'd put the gas on early then it could have been a little better for us!

Looking on the bright side this week (hopefully), Smasher and Skip wont feel the urge to play on the quiz machine before the darts this week (What a NOB)!!!

Other News

1/ Chillo is much worse than first thought at playing darts! (true story)
2/ Table bowls goes into a freenzy this week as people try to secure a doubles partner before the tournament in January!
3/ Gloomy faces around Pot Black as we find out there are no Turkey Crowns available for Christmas!
4/ Wally didn't get angry this week!!!
5/ Gottsfreecabs has broken down again it would seem!

A-TEAM REPORT

Welcome back to another edition of . . . . . .

What the f### do I write in the blog this week???

Away this week which is normally a bummer, but when you're playing the the Pot Black B side and you don't need to do a thing all night other than chuck a few arrows! HAPPY DAYS!

No Skip this week, Ash had called off so it was another turn out for Gottsfreecabs! With me picking the pairs anything could happen! Thankfully the doubles went as I had hope with a 3 - 1 advantage to the A side. Onto the singles and it was a different story! Winning only one of the first four games made the scores level at 4 - 4. Some indifferent performances from our lads with PH not being able to locate a double to finish and Nicky Lark not finding one to start!!!!

Larky, in need of some further attention to his overgrown barnet, but too scared to be caught at a womens salon he braved it against Quiff in the singles! After 3 throws Quiff was sitting on 129 and Larky hadn't started! I was bursting for the loo so missed the next few darts!!!! Question: What starts with 'White' and ends in 'Wash', Answer: Larky!

Larky is now the most nicknamed player with his latest being 'BASIL'


Back to the match and 4 - 4 could go either way now! Stevie Norfield was on last so we thought that might be ours but the rest were tricky! First up was our best player this year, 'Smasher' and 20 darts later we took back the lead. Next was me and again 20 darts later we'd secured the draw! Fluffy next and 18 darts later the win was secured and finally Bardy in 21 darts made the final score 8 - 4!

Well done lads. Back to winning ways and may it continue for the next three weeks!!!

Table Bowls

Wally wanted to join in so badly this week after Jedward had challenged me and PH to a game that he got into a big sulk and reluctantly joined in with some liar dice with the B team! (If Wally try's to change the story then he's lying!!!)

To the big match and just pride was placed on the table for this encounter! After 5 ends we all realised that the bowls do not actually work on the backhand, but my partner, PH, continued to roll some horrendous deliveries which in the end had cost us the match! PH version of events was that he was brilliant, the table and bowls didn't react as they should've and Shaun & Deadwood were the luckiest bowlers he'd ever seen! My version of events was I should've listened to Wally and hoped to get him as a partner, PH was horrific, Shaun was a little lucky and Darren was consistent throughout! You make your own minds up!

Play-offs

Saturday evening saw the A team play off for the singles, doubles and trebles! Not sure everyone wanted to play darts (probably just me) but it wasn't a night to remember for most of us!

The trebles were picked out! Done

The doubles draw saw Me & Serious take on Smasher & PH. It was like me & Serious playing Smasher at singles and in the end we managed to fall over the line and get through!!! The other match saw Skip & Larky take on Ash & Fluffy. After a long three leg tussle it was the 100% finishing from Ash that caused the first shock of the Night! Great to see Skip take it in his stride and tap Fluffy on the shoulder after the match "If Ash can't make it to the doubles, I'm your man"!

Singles next and as usual Serious drew Skip in the top half with me and Fluffy in the next! Bottom half pitched PH against Larky and Ash against Smasher!

Semi finals

Serious vs Fluffy (I was awful and didn't try according to the rest of them)
PH vs Smasher

PH played darts for a change and made Smasher work hard for his 2 - 1 victory!

Serious and Fluffy saw an indifferent match. The spectators (Me, Chillo, Skip, Smasher, Ash) were discussing having a tug at work and impressions of professional dart players in a charade style comedy sketch (was absolutely hilarious)! Serious 1 - 0 up and all going to plan until he started to play bad and couldn't block out the background noise (mainly me) and it was soon 1 - 1. In the last leg Serious was even worse and couldn't help chipping into our conversation about 'tossing' at work! Somehow the biggest shock of the night saw Fluffy finally hit a double and make his way into the festival singles! Well done!

I was a little annoyed with Serious' reaction even though I know he's a bad loser! To blame losing the match on me and then saying I've got to play with that 'hunt' in the doubles was a bit harsh! I hope it's just a spur of the moment thing and we'll be on fire come festival doubles night! I can't hold a grudge or get angry like Wally(if you mention Wally getting angry once more Links! I (Wally) will get really, eh! Hmmm, what can I say a-a-a-angry, oh shit! that didn't help much!) so we'll be back kissing on Friday (I hope x)! and I really want those Turkey Crowns buddy!
