Catering Manager 2012
Jun 22nd, 2011 by 'holic
Let’s get this straight from the start. I don’t care if they do have Norfolk DNA, the chicken balti pies are a key component of the matchday experience. Unless Delia pays the going rate they are staying put. The fact that she has said that her budget for the summer is a poultry, I mean paltry, £3.50 encourages me. Four quid or nothing sweetheart, so let’s be having you.
That’s not to say we shouldn’t be having a bit of a clearout of the inconsistent performers. Let’s face it, the pizza slices have blown lukewarm and cold for some years now. Potential they may well have had when we moved to the Grove, but at some stage potential has to be realised or abandoned, and frankly, we could do with the dough.
Similarly the replacement of the reliable old British slinger with the foot long hot dog has been an expensive failure. We’re yet to see a really first-class import from the States make their mark in the top flight, and it is time this tired old banger was sent back across the pond.
The clearout will provide space for some stars of the future to make their mark. It’s time to stop casting jealous gazes in the direction of Spain and splash out on some of their brightest talent. We should be looking to emulate the fast-moving tapas stars. Who wouldn’t be impressed if the reconstituted hot-dog was replaced with a mesmeric chorizo number. Nearly eight quid for fish and chips? That sort of money should get you a decent portion of deep fried squid with patatas bravas.
I blame the catering manager for us getting into this position, but it does look as though the need for menu change has been embraced. He has been described as stubborn for sticking with with his old recipe for too long, but hopefully rumours of him losing patience with his current offerings have some basis in fact.
Final suggestion chef. We need better fluidity, so dump Foster and Smith. There are some really creative types available, for example Stella and of course Fuller, the pride of London. That Arthur Guinness would add to our dark side when required as well. What about it?
Hit <esc> to end game.

makes me hungry…and thirsty. i’ll have a balti and some fromage blanc, with a bit of the red from rioja.
wow, first drink! a round on the house (once they trickle in), ‘holic.
Rioja.
That too scruz. Well in 😉
Heh, Holic’s got the Munchies.
Hello zico.
Not doing the Dubaibury Cup I suppose? I’ll be at the Sunday session.
So ‘holic, which one were you there then, Gareth or Gervais? 😉
Hadn’t really considered the pre-season stuff, Holic, I’m trying to work out if I can make the Scouser game, but it depends on what Murdoch does and when.
The Emirates cup will only be on for me if I can get my employer to send me down London way on business that weekend (without realising that the real business is the Arsenal, if you get my drift).
Shame, you could have experienced the half-time queue…
Ha, takes me back. 🙂
You will get your wish re the beer holic. My understanding is that for the next few years the bar will be serving Carlsberg and bloody Tetleys. No improvement if you ask me.
As for the food it is typical over priced footie fodder. You buy it if you are rich or starving.
Hows about a Royal with Cheese as the say in Paris ( or marseille Mr Nasri )… By the time I get the flights, bum a sofa off the oul fella on the seven sisters and buy my ticket I can only laugh in the face of the dinner ladies..
On the odd occasion I have eaten I have to say the pies are far and away the best tasting grub available to the common man at the Grove.
I have, just once, eaten in a box and that is hospitality par excellence. Goodness knows what it would cost payers though. In relation to what goes on downstairs I’m guessing no change from a nifty.
Remember the zico mantra, Holic, “solids are for softies”
Guinness is one part meal, one part alcohol in any event, isn’t it?
Heh! Many the matchday I haven’t eaten at all, and have a difficult job explaining that to the management while dribbling Guinness 🙂
Had to laugh at the pie and mash on offer at £8.95.
As if 😀
You say that Mark. Wouldn’t work with stadium catering obviously, but a pie and mash shop on Holloway Road would make an absolute killing on matchdays.
Would it be enough to carry the rest of the year, I wonder?
Eels and liquor ( the parsley kind ) would be good followed by a mint Mojito , that should fit in with the new Islington crowd.
Them balit chicken pies are tasty on a cold day and the fancy box they are served in after being taken out of the pukka pie wrapper make the £ 4.50 seem like a good investment.
Them wrappers are a mare to open and paying double the price to have somebody transfer it for me is a life saver.
I thought I saw one with it written on the window? Almost opposite the petrol station, just a bit up from The Rocket? (opposite side of road?)
Not a ‘proper’ one mind… gotta have the eels with it lol
Heading to Archway? I must investigate 😉
What’s that you say ‘Holic – Chicken Balti Spies ?
Must be those Venkeys popped down from Blackburn, sniffing around to see how well heeled we are. Never get the price down for the boy Samba now.
You’d be well advised not to mention foot long dogs around here too. Been some very dodgy characters about these parts lately.
Have we signed anyone yet ?
Daughter’s soccer team did a Newcastle tonight coming back from a 4-0 deficit with four goals to come out of it with a 4-4 draw, and like Newcastle they squandered a great chance to win it near the end. About time we got one for our side. 🙂
Holic, If you’re looking for a first class import from the States then you must look no further than the Minnesota bratwursts. So authentic they taste almost German. On the other hand if you are looking for lower prices it might be better to get them from your German supplier to reduce transport costs, but they will be close cousins at any rate.
Surreal.
Is it time for a new CM -yes as stated above and also there is another reason since the over 65s, who clearly form a significant minority, are not allowed to drink so much any more.
This is the time also for a change of direction financially, since reduced alcohol sales will impact the cash flow (but will it also allow the England-based over 65s to divert their meagre pensions into increased ticket prices – probably not)
Final impact for our beloved leader on this blog – will you change your name so as not to remind us of what we cannot have any more!
Forgot to mention that I told a local French friend about this ban and he simulated shooting himself
Fucking heh, ‘holic. What did you have to drink?
Cool post. Frog’s legs next?
Never had a decent pint at Highbury or the new ground. Not many grounds come to that. Back in the 80’s they used to serve Hurlimans at the Old Den (along with Master Brew as it was a Shepherd Neame’s concession) which was fucking excellent! As though ‘wall fans needed tanking up any further!
I miss Fullers pubs.
I think our great Leader may have been sneaking himself a bit of that Californian 🙂
Great post ‘Holic .
Me too Pip!
On some serious shit last night TaBS.
Bushmills 😉
Reading the tea leaves on arsenal.com I see that Samir Nasri has been placed on the cover of the July issue of Arsenal magazine, which is either a very strong indication that he is staying at Arsenal; or one of the biggest public relations blunders imaginable if he decides to leave the club. Which is it?
PR blunders, Nas?
Surely not?
Death. By. Boredom.
Someone, any club, do something!
Heading for the cabinet to entertain myself….
Same here, I’ll tag along if you don’t mind, Dr C
Always a pleasure, Ollie. Mind you, I’m a bit wary after your colossal Barcelona bender….
Aah, customers……gents can I interest you in some newly-delivered-fresh-off-the-plane, Californian?
Has a slight smell of animal…
I like it Dr Z I like it , vegetable and protein in one hit
heh tabs.
I’ll only be able to help with the drinks cabinet as I’m off to Poland for a fortnight on sunday. Vodka will be back on the menu.
Hate to poop the party guys (do people actually do that?) but Vela’s going nowhere according to Arseblog news. Let’s look on the bright side: he scored 2 goals while on loan at West Brom, and this was only from 8 starts. OK, it’s not scintillating and 4 would have been better but maybe this is his season…
Keepers up and down the land better be afraid of being lobbed when they come to the Grove.
Nice post ‘holic.
Got my reminising back to the days when all that was availabe was half or over cooked hamburgers or hotdogs (25p and 15p respectivly) from one of those dodgy trolley thingamijigs and inside the ground it was bovril to keep warm or the wait to hear the yell from the “GET ‘UR ROASTED PEANUTS” geezer. Not forgetting ofcourse all the “treats” on offer in the green shed of the North Bank.
Those were the days eh? Piss warm beer and botulism available on every corner. 😉
I’ll have one of those new fandangled pies please and a nice cold lager, cheers.
Still quite a bit of botulism on sale outside the Ems, H2H, based on my last visit there. With onions!
I want to see more of the Frimpong going by what he said at the club…
“Arsenal FC is pumping through my veins,” “I will never leave Arsenal even if I get released I will beg on both knees to stay they’re going to have to escort me out”
More players who bleed for this club please and am good….
Zico. Glad to hear that although many things have changed, there are still some traditions being held onto.
‘Afternoon all.
Nice post ‘Holic!
I think you’ve done a great and surreal mix of Ricky & Gervais meets Delia’s Championship Manager. Made me smile anyway. If it was, per chance, partly fuelled by the influence of our Californinan stuffed GT and all the nutty b*ll*cks that the usual suspects here have been exchanging these past few months then even better 😉
I’ll have a foot long Guinness please Mr.Barman with a side of chorizo fuelled Fuller. The CMC is open and I’m off to Hartlepool to buy some exploding trousers.
Afternoon zico, was the Californian smuggled inside the llama? It has a certain edge to it today….
tabs, I think it may be protein overload. Still seems to have the same effect though if a toke goes down the wrong hole you don’t cough so much as bleat.
H2H, thanks for the memory of those ‘peanut men’. Sorely missed by this ‘Holic.
Dr.C & Ollie, easy on those benders fellas.
Drinks chaps?
Re: Zico @33 If the Nasri cover is a PR blunder could it be IPA’s latest caper and extra grist for TABS’s mill?
Capers and (salt)mills ‘nasri? You’re doing a fine job of keeping the culinary theme going 😉
TS @ 46 – trade secrets.
You ain’t seen me, right?
Seen who?
😉
🙂
Slow drinks day. Everybody drinking sloe gin?
I think my frivolous approach to no news month is not popular with the ravenous majority 😉
Never mind. Golf tomorrow. 36 holes, lunch and dinner with plentiful liquid refreshments.
Marvellous 🙂
‘holic, Enjoy the golf and the indulging but if you see Donald Trump on the course please forget to miss him with your four-iron. 🙂
Hey, I want John Smith to stay at the Emirates! I have been told it’s an old man’s drink (I’m still 37 for another month so I don’t qualify as old yet, I assume) but I like it!
Pint of Boddingtons, please.
Heh!
Both crap Lars 😉
Get some proper ale down you next time you’re over…
Early night all. Early start to get to the course in the morning.
Have fun.
You’re back studying, ‘holic?
*Checks back a few drinks*
Oh, I see. Enjoy!
Truth be told, ‘Holic, I’d be more than happy to try other ales and beers and I do that quite often as well.
Pint of a proper ale of the ‘Holic’s choice, please!
Barca have made another 30m bid for cesc.I wish the board or wenger would just ask them to piss off.35m for sanchez and cesc is worth only 30m,is he?
Chatting to Barca fans at party last night (*Boilk*). – most of them getting very bored with the Cesc saga, and don’t expect Barca to sign him this summer. They understand Arsenal’s point of view completely.
Don’t hate Barca fans just because of their media. Remember – we have Le Grove!
You can, however, hate them for other reasons of your choosing!
Morning All ,
CuoCo ! New club motto ?
Have a good one in Poland Ollie . Could you please bring back a decent centre-half as well as the vodka please .
TS and Dr Z – I am laughing quietly in the corner , but I aint seen you right ?
Nasri @47 – that , and more , my friend 🙂
Enjoy your Golf ‘Holic .
Right , stiff Bloody Mary please , Barman .
Morning All.
Nice one Dr.C @ #61. No hatred here, wonderful city, great football team. I mostly blame the media for all the b*ll*cks surrounding our captain.
Hair of the dog?
Whoops! Moniker retuned to normal now 🙂
Bloody Mary might just work, TS. A spicy one, please. #CUoCO
Dr C , Morning , I have to say that pre-game Paris 2006 , I found the Barca fans a very agreeable bunch .
Post- game , I thought they were c*&ts 🙂
TABS – you should try being married to one! Or maybe not.
Join us in a Bloody Mary?
Morning tabs & heh! There was me trying to be all civil and avoid the phrase Buck Farca 🙂
Just seen Van de Faart’s comments. Got to say, I think we should be looking to bring in some more Dutch guys – they all have a bit of an edge to them (Denis and RVP etc), which makes them do well over here.
“Puta Barca”, if you want them to understand! 🙂
Gracias hombre
Apologies fellas,
More stiff and spicy Bloody Mary’s please Mr.Barman for tabs and Dr.C an ale for agent Larsh and wodka for comrade Olliski. I’ll have something with lemon in it and skip the protein please.
Cheers all and happy Friday.
Dr.C
One further point on CUoCO (copywright Blogs) -> it works both ways right? 😉
Dr C – thank you for the drink and Cheers .
Morning TS , and a happy friday to you too , Sir .
Btw , am I the only Arsenal fan praying that there will be no transfer activity before tuesday ? – signings would require urgent revision of the ArsenalNation St. script 🙂
I’m praying with you Sir William tabs 🙂
… or ‘tabspeare’ maybe….
You’re too kind Sir . PHW as Lear ? … now there’s a thought 🙂
Afternoon all,
TS – if it wasn’t for Yogi’s byline on todays blog @ ACLF I would have sworn it was you that wrote it.
It was an interesting exercise in schizophrenia to jump from there to Le Groan (like the aftermath of a car crash I tell myself I won’t look but find myself continually doing so, against my better judgement).
By the way, how’s the “Llamaweed” going down with the natives? 🙂
Afternoon Dr Z , Yogi away all week and his blog been given over to guest posts . One of the better ones today , I thought . Maybe it was TS after all ?
Can’t face Le Groan til I’ve eaten .
Llamaweed very good , but a little pongy – has it been cut with something a little unsavoury ?
Posted by YW it says, tabs
“has it been cut with something….”?
The reason the Happy Train is such an attraction to all good thinking travellers, from near and far, is that they know the purity of the offerings on board.
If that doesn’t sell, then just tell em “trade secrets….”
Understood Boss 🙂
Yep , you’re right , posted by YW . Apologies . It appears I have been badly advised by IPA 🙂
Tabs, There appears to be about a snowball in hell’s chance of a signing before Tuesday so I think you are safe. I do have a few doubts as to whether “Has it been cut by something?” is the best PR slogan for the GT’s guaranteed 100% pure offerings. But I must say that ArsenalNation St. is a highlight of the summer so far, so more episodes please.
Nasri , i have been advised by the Boss to say ” Trade Secrets ” .
As regards signings , tinternet appears to be awash with rumours of renewed vigour that we have signed Alvarez . Can’t be announced until July 1st though , so should be safe .
Evening chums,
I think I reported y’day that the new ‘Lllama Flavoured Californian’ (LFC) was just as effective if a little…. unusual. Strange side effects too. I was bleating all night in my sleep whilst experiencing nightmares involving a Weegie King poaching half of our team and scuppering every transfer deal that we attempt in the summer.
I did read the rantings of Gervais this morning and wondered if he just hasn’t had sex in rather a long while? Took a shower after reading that post.
It’s Usually a pleasure reading ACLF, so I’m flattered that you boys thought that I may have had a small, drug-induced contribution. Sadly not.
Roll-on the next episode of ArsenalNation St. or Behind The Arse as I like to call it (with apologies to tabs) 😉
I havge no idea where we are with deals, so many BS and conflicting reports. NewsNow seems awash with ‘Alvarez deal done’ and ‘Gervinho offer rejected’. Who the f*ck knows? I suppose Arsene knows 🙂
Evening TS , willing to bet here that Gervais has never had sex . 🙂
Heh tabs!
Got to be worth a tenner hasn’t it? Let’s make it double or nothing and put the same bet on Ricky…. well not with a woman anyway…. 🙂
tabs, a thought – if PHW is King Lear and Bendy is Hamlet (cos he’s Danish), does that mean that Lady Nina is Lady Macbeth and Le Boss is Banquo (if he gets any thinner he’ll be see-through)? How about Denilson as Bottom (he’s already made a right ass of himself)?
Heh TS 🙂
IG as The Merchant of Venice ? Sagna as Othello ?
I think Gareth and Gervais probably have sex with each other – probably involve the ubiquitous Pam , their extremely well-informed contact at the club , on special occasions 🙂
Behind the Arse is an award winning title for our Red soap opera, TS.
tabs, this is why all the best writers need editors 🙂
Fantastic tabs esp. IG as MoV 🙂
Talking of PAM, he’s probably the tea-boy or apprentice boot cleaner. Knows everything and everyone of course. Poor And Manky? Prattish And Moronic? Purrs And Mews (when in a threesome with R & G)?
Dr Z – fair point , will incorporate ” Behind the Arse ” into the title and the Baftas , Golden Globes etc will surely follow . 🙂
Think I need an Editor for next week’s episode , which appears to have taken on a life of its own .
TS – Piss and Mucus gets my vote 🙂
What about Plug and Mug?
(With apologies to Mug who occasionally posts here)
🙂
tabs, I’ll offer my services as editor. Will it take a horrible bribe to secure the role?
Dr. z
Plug And Mug best so far…..
One more go from me: Posh And Mucky – describes the LG twins quite well? Plus it proves there is no PAM. PAM is them!
OK, the voices are back in my head now and I need to lie down. Nurse?
Agreed, Behind the Arse is a real improvement. Tabs, I’m sure you need no reminding that sex sells in soap operas as in life. Onward to the GGs.
Hi honey, I’m home *hic*
… And where are the photos of food and beer consumed?
Excuse me, can anybody tell me what the hell is going on ?
One evening out of the bar – I drop in for a swift ‘alf and I haven’t a bleedin’ scooby what’s happening.
What is all the P and M, M and P, Plug and Mum stuff all about ?
I was just off securing the services of a guide for the Lake Superior camping trip – one Mr Guy Ropes – and on my return everyone is smoking llamas and gone completely nuts.
If we’re looking for Shakespearean Arsenal players we surely have to re-sign Quince Owusu-Abeye. Shakespearean and Dutch btw.
One Hundred !!
I’m off to read Arseblog – he’s normal !
Trev, don’t desert me. They’re barking 😉
Never ‘Holic – back now.
The rain must have oblitterated the moon over Eire today – the most wholly normal post he’s ever done.
O.K I’m officially scared Cesc will leave this summer.
If we agree to anything less than 50Mil then there should be another black scarf walk…
It’d be an outrage. Alexis Sanches and Cesc are both worth 35Mil? No chance in hell…
Ricardo Alvarez’s Wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricardo_Gabriel_Álvarez) says he has moved to Arsenal as of today’s date. All hail (or curse) Wikipedia.
Now it appears they have added “it is rumoured” to the phrase about his moving to Arsenal. They also say he is a left footed attacking midfielder who has scored 5 goals in 3 seasons for Velez Sarsfield. Not sure he will be our saviour whether he is actually coming or not.
Barman, glass of Argentine Malbec please to toast what could be.
Snir, I think you can relax. Barca don’t really seem that keen on getting him and quite frankly Cesc doesn’t seem all that keen on going either if you ask me. For all the media speculation, Cesc has still not once said that he wants to leave anytime soon and think that the way Barca have behaved this summer and the last has not helped them at all. If anything it has just put Cesc off the idea of a move. He is an intelligent young man and he will not move to Barca unless they want him as a footballer and not as a trophy signing.
Morning All,
Thinking of issuing a ‘Holic Health Warning (HHW) for the use of the LFC (see above). 2 consecutive nights and the side-effects are taking their toll as can be gauged by the quality of my drinks last might. On the bright side, the protein extract from the residue may excite Dr.Atkins and his followers. With all due respect to PIK & Dr.z for their Herculean supply and transportation efforts earlier in the week 😉
Lars @ #107 – Well said that man. I cannot imagine Cesc moving without assurances that he would neither be a bench warmer nor a trophy signing. I agree, Farca’s tactics do seem to be back-firing but it could all be a complex game of double-bluffing. No point worrying too much about things that we can’t effect with all due respect to Snir. Actually, looking at the all the b*ll*cks on NewsNow, “Cesc Is Moving – Snir Officially Worried” is probably as genuine a headline as they could hope to re-post 🙂
Drinks please Mr. Barman for anyone that can stomach them. I’m buying for a change. The Lars tab needs a rest.
Note for Snir: Just in case, previous post designed to make you smile. I’m on the phone to the NewsNow ‘editors’ as I type this 😉
Hit to end game?
Heh, that gives an erase, I guess ‘<' have different effects on comments with the closing bracket.
Try 'Hit "cesc" to end game. 😉
A surprisingly cynical arseblog on alvarez.I think If we keep cesc nasri and get a quality centre back(not samba) we can start dreaming of the title.the new signings would our squad.
@nasri – we should know better than anyone that stats dont mean much.Big Nick gets a goal every 2 games,doesn’t mean he’s quality.He’s just effective.That said I would start to worry if alvarez and big forehead have been lined up as replacements for cesc and nasri.
midas, You and arseblog may be right about Alvarez and certainly his stats don’t look impressive. There is also an Arsenal club in Argentina so is that where he is really going?
Afternoon All ,
Quiet in here today . I’ll join Nasri in a glass of Argentinian Malbec please Barman .
Apparently , the increased speculation over Alverez is not down to the words of the Palermo President – oh no ! – it’s because Pam over on Le Groan has decreed that the transfer is happening ( I kid you not ) .
In other news from Le Groan , they apparently want increased interaction with the wider blogging community . Well , I’m happy to oblige Gentlemen . Let’s knock this one around for starters and see where it takes us ;-
” Pedro and Geoff are a pair of ill-informed , sensationalist , micro-brained self-publicists who have no concept of what it is to support a football club , and whose c*ntheadery knows no bounds . Oh , and Pam is probably a slag . ” Discuss .
Trev@ 99 🙂 Good stuff as always .
TS @ 94 ” Behind the Arse ” ? I think the ayes have it . Behind the Arse it is then .
Thank you for your very kind offer , a couple of beers and proof demonstrating you are certifiably insane , how does that sound ? 🙂
I am pleased to report that last-minute contractual difficulties have been resolved , and Zsa Zsa Gabor has agreed to play Lady Nina in this week’s episode . The script is in the can , and shooting begins tomorrow 🙂
While we’re mentioning Arseblog.
I like his new slogan “CUoCO”, but isn’t that the surname of the actress that plays Penny in The Big Bang Theory?
Maybe she can do a guest appearance in one of tabs shows?
Maybe I shouldn’t have drunk so much last night, ah well, Bloody Mary (again) please.
Bloody Hell! H2H , good spot , Kaley Cuoco , quite attractive too , love interest for IG ?
Lucky IG.
Is he a bit nerdy, ‘cos that would fit right into her comfort zone.
Although, I picture your show more as a Spitting Image/Special1tv style puppet show rather then an actor based piece.
But, like I mentioned above, maybe I shouldn’t drink so much 🙂
Join me in a pint of whatever, mate?
Pint of vodka thanks H2H
Good choice, a nice little warm up drink.
Cheers.
Right, don’t know how it happened, but I’ve found myself in a real bar and there is a ring cordon of full pints of Guinness surrounding me. Just me and them. It’s obvious I’m going to have to fight my way out of this, just me and them, taking them all on one by one.
The one thing I need to know before I wade in, are they all on Lars tab?
I could be a tad incoherent (whats new?) if I pop in here around closing time. Be gentle with me – its all in the name of research.
PS Trev, Guy Ropes – nice one 😉
Cheers mate .
Dr Z , don’t be taken in by their appealing look and gentle demeanour – they fight back eventually . Good luck .
They are full of menace and trickery, tabs, I know, but how else will I get home? It’s a fight – last man standing (or staggering) stuff.
Tell Laura I love her…..
Spicy chicken wings with hotspurs
Yummy beats some spent gunbo soup
Evening boys. Apologies, but combination of post-golf-day hangover from hell, and management feeling unwell, have rendered a new post impossible today.
Picking up now I have had a couple of Guinness. Hopefully a good night’s kip and we’ll both be a bit more productive tomorrow.
Lars bill can rest easy today. All drinka are on the house 😉
So finally, Cusop returns – and only 6 weeks or so late for St. Totteringham’s. Has come running in with spicy chicken wings and hot spuds, whatever that’s all about.
Doubtless he has dropped in to say that the Spuds squad will be stronger than ours next season – power shift in N London – finish higher than us in the league . . . . . . .
oops! sorry, – dozed off.
All this mention of Lady Nina and Kayleigh (albeit with a different spelling – see the tabs post @116 or thereabouts) always get me thinking about Marillion, my all-time heroes. And I might just add at this point that I am slightly drunk so any incoherence in my post is due to the wonders of Green Goblin Cider.
Ok then, quite drunk. Not just slightly.
Holic, thanks for letting my tab rest for a bit. It really needed that…
“Lady Nina
I’d love to take you home with me
But I love my life and my family
I’ve got a good job
Responsibilities
And I need to keep respect
From society”
Guess I’d better bog off to bed… Pint of water, please!
Cusop – fack off you LWC
Holics I love u all – even Gaz 😉
Sex, footballers, betrayal and narcissism. No, not the next episode of Behind the Arse, just a link to an entertaining article in the Guardian:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/jun/26/footballers-wags-make-up-holiday-photos
Morning all. Black coffee to start with, and some plagarisation of Freddie Flintoff’s tewtter page, where people have been sending him jokes.
This one tickled me;
vincent van gogh sat in a pub. His mate walks in, ‘alright vincent, fancy a pint?’ Vincent says ‘No thanks, I’ve got one ear’
Tewtter? Twitter
*boilk*
And that is straight from the FA.
Pint of orange juice, please.
Morning All ,
Blimey , were Dr Z and Lars out together last night ? Did Dr Z , outflanked and outnumbered , emerge triumphant from his dual with the Black stuff ? Did Lars play Air Guitar ? The World at large needs to know .
Whatever , I’ll have a pint of Green Goblin Cider please Barman .
Dear Marje Proops ,
Yesterday , whilst pretending to do some work , but in reality hopping between various Arsenal Sites , I had coverage of the Glastonbury Festival playing in the background .
The only music that made me look up , and distracted me from the task in hand , was a lady called Rumor . She had a very pleasant voice , but was a bit Karen Carpenterish .
I am very concerned that I am getting old . Can I still wear my Speedos on this fine Summer’s day .
Thanking You in Anticipation .
Wolfgang Smallballs .
Oh…..Orange juice please and 2 of them white parrots-eat-em-all for my aching head. 🙁
Heh, smallballs.
