Why I was late"On the way to the station, I got hit by a bat, it almost took my head clean off. Then the machine would not accept my ticket and the guy at the gate didn't think I looked like the photo on my travel card. So I had to go home and get my passport.
Then the train was 45 minutes late to the station because of the dangerous badger threat at Carpenters Park.
When I was on the train it took and hour and a half to get past the biscuit factory because the driver was really fat.
Then there was a delay stopping at the station because the train in front had heard we were coming and decided to play a practical joke with a rubber shoe on the track.
That is why I couldn't get here on time today."
What's your best excuse?

Long distance illnessLast year my mate came up to Newcastle from London for Alan Shearer's testimonial game. Being a cheap sort of chap he got the megabus for a quid and arrived in Newcastle at about 6am after setting off at about 9 the previous night.
By 8am he'd managed to pester me into coming into town before anything was open and was calling his boss in London to say he was feeling a bit dodgy and couldn't make it in. Didn't mention he was about 300 miles away...
Good match though.
Length? 90 minutes.....
