B-TEAM WRITE UP


Hi Guys

Another week and another dart match and expectations were high with an away visit to the kevill arms who are struggling at the wrong end of the table. A good start with me and Bungle probably playing the best game we have all season to get us 1-0 up. Unfortunately Hos and Goochy then couldn’t start and Oz and Moysie got mugged by a 100 finish before Shoot em up and Clint got us back level. A solid singles from Steve got us ahead again before Goochy fell victim to their second high finish of the night and Stavros (making a rare outing despite still having problems with his stones) couldn’t finish. Clint then nicked us one back and Ozzie followed this with a 114 finish (using the Goochy system of hitting two doubles). A poor game from yours truly left it all square at 5-5 and the last two games were shared with a very good game from Bungle and a shame that Hos couldn’t get away in the last leg. 6-6 final score and another point on the board before we entertain HG next week.

Talking point of the night was provided by Goochy who turned up with four fingers in bandages. Now we are becoming increasingly aware that for many years his idol has been Jeremy Beadle and, whilst growing a beard to emulate the look of his fashion icon is one thing, trying to shorten his fingers does seem to be going a bit too far.

As a caring club and in the interest of health and safety here are some guidelines we trust you will find useful when operating hand held circular saws

1. Always plug power tools into a RCB (circuit breaker) as a safety measure against electrical faults.

2. Wear goggles to protect eyes from dust/chippings and a face/dust mask to prevent breathing in dangerous dust particles.

3. Always read the manufacturers instructions very carefully and follow them.

4. Always seek instruction / training from an appropriately qualified instructor before using any tools, especially power tools.

5. Make sure that the mains cable cannot be tripped over or that it causes a hazard in anyway.

6. G Cramp the material to be cut/shaped to a firm workbench before starting.

7. Fit an extraction bag to the circular saw if one is available. This will collect most of the dust.

8. Before plugging in to the mains, check the condition of the blade. Do not use the saw if the blade looks damaged or worn.
9. KEEP HANDS AND FINGERS AWAY FROM THE ROTATING BLADE.
10. KEEP HANDS AND FINGERS AWAY FROM THE ROTATING BLADE
11. KEEP YOUR BLOODY HANDS AND FINGERS AWAY FROM THE ROTATING BLADE
12. KEEP YOUR BLOODY HANDS AND FINGERS AWAY FROM THE.ROTATING BLADE YOU PILLOCK

Obviously latching on to this unfortunate injury was our very own self-styled king of the nicknames, Bungle, who is a legend in his own mind. Now Bungle, as you know, has several nicknames of his own but sees himself as something of a guru in allocating new names where deemed necessary. When it comes to choosing new names to be allocated nothing is accepted until given the official Bungle seal of approval (which usually means he thought of it). After much thought, consideration and lager, this font of all knowledge applied himself to the poor unfortunate circumstances of Goochy (aka legend, aka mother Theresa) and decided that henceforth he shall be known as FINGERS! Another good nights work from Bill although he still hasn’t found anything better for Clint (not for the want of trying)

We think there is something rooted in his ancestry that may be of Red Indian origin which enables him to select names based on sights or events. An Indian brave once questioned his father “how did my sister get her name? The chief replied “after she was conceived I left the tepee, looked up and saw a bright star, so I named her bright star”. The brave then asked and how did my brother get his name? The chief replied “after he was conceived I left the tepee and as I looked into the forest I saw a large wolf and so I called him Great Wolf”. The chief was a bit fed up at this point and dismissed the brave saying “enough questions now go to bed Two Dogs Shagging.

More to follow soon

All the best
