Not content with being docked ten points and getting us out of the relegation zone, it's possible they'll go out of business and have their results scrubbed, including the stuffing they gave us at Fratton Park. I've never been such a big fan of Harry Redknapp.

How are you sir?

I am well thanks, mate.
My Mrs is a Pompey fan so she's a bit gutted. Still, a woman supporting fitba? Who cares?!

Is that the way it works, if you don't complete the season then it's like you never competed?

Apparently
Is there precedent? All conjecture at the moment

Interesting.
They need someone with money quick. In another couple of weeks they will struggle to be able to afford to make away games.

That's their own stupid bastard fault for being practically French
Actually I saw a projection of how the table would look without their results this season and it doesn't look too clever for your lot mate, you'd be 3rd, 6 points of the top albeit with games in hand

Wrong on two counts!
Real answer; working.

Slightly more interesting but palpably untrue answer; conducting an in-depth survey as regards the correct use of the semi-colon. Unsuccessfully; as you can see.

Still very much in your debt, provisionally arranged to go to the June 28th date with Labs last night

Not been too bad thanks fella
Had a good night last night, ruined only by the fact the DJ is a prick.

Feeling reasonably healthy this morning, helped by Diet Coke. Just a shame work is ridiculous at the minute. Jobs aren't huge, but they're either seriously fucking complicated (10 man hours for a £200 job, WTF?!), or the customer keeps changing their mind about what they want on the cards after we've already processed the data.

Fuck em all.

Tell us more of this DJ prick
Best of all the pricks

He'd spend 20 seconds introducing EVERY SINGLE track, change tracks halfway through, to songs that were completely different
Within 2 seconds of a new track starting, he'd be turning it down to talk over it, before turning it back up again. He'd do that every few seconds. He was taking the piss out of everyone, but wasn't funny in the slightest. Then, at the end of the night, he joined in on karaoke, but hadn't turned his mic down, so was fucking deafening.

Such a prick.

I fucking hate that
It's not a stand-up night FFS, shut up and let us dance. Also; play the WHOLE SONG

I think I've told the story on here before
of the time that I rather unsubtly requested that a DJ not do that, only to be head-butted by him for my trouble.
You try to offer a bit of constructive criticism...

I hadn't heard that
If it helps, had I been there I'd have stuck up for you and your cause. Verbally. Quietly. From the other side of the bar.

Aye, utter tool
The only reason I wasn't out for the entire night is because I knew he was there, rather than the usual guy

Morning mate
Yeah not bad cheers, bit pissed off with the world of competitive Ballroom at the moment but I can't imagine anyone wants to hear that. How's you?
(, Fri 2 Mar 2012, 10:14, Reply)
How on earth can you be pissed off with it? What's up?
Only gaylords would flounce, surely?

I'm good thanks, on balance. Been feeling a bit meh this week - most of my colleagues are off sick and I've had to valiantly battle on in their absence, despite feeling pretty ropey myself. Love life definitely picked up of late, indoor cricket nets start next week. The world may in fact be full of win - and I don't say that very often.

Plus, Rangers FC in admin of course, which is fucking brilliant.
(, Fri 2 Mar 2012, 10:23, Reply)
I dunno mate, pretty soon there'll be no competitive football in Scotland at all
*tries to keep a straight face*

Competitive Ballroom is bollocks basically, we keep losing to these friends of ours who we are very, very obviously better than - but they go to more comps and get seen by all the judges, who rate them just because they know them. Merit doesn't get a look-in. Utter bullshit.

Glad to hear things are on the up with you sir :-)

Oh LOL
There's not usually much competition in the English Premiership - until this year anyway.

I was at the Celtic game at the weekend and the banter was brilliant. Loads of songs slagging off the currant buns. I cannot wait for their demise.

Oh that's not so good. So it's all a bit too matey then? Surely that must cause a bit of strife between you and your mates, or are you managing to just grit your teeth at the moment?

Yeah my love life has been er..complicated...but starting to look pretty good just now. Stay tuned for the next disaster though.
(, Fri 2 Mar 2012, 10:46, Reply)
It's a grit your teeth and smile situation, yeah
Yeah I bet Celtic are fucking loving it. If the weedgies (is that right?) sink without trace they'll win every title for the next fifty years.
(, Fri 2 Mar 2012, 10:49, Reply)
Oh dear, how long will you manage to keep that up for? Stick a bit of butter on the sole of her shoe or something FFS.
Haha, nearly! Weedgies are anyone from Glasgow (i.e. Glaswegians) so both sides are weedgies. I usually just refer to them as the currant buns (i.e. huns).

Well the thing is that the footballing expert that is Mark Hateley (WTF?) this week proclaimed that Celtic would be winning a 'tainted' title this year, as the huns had been docked 10 points for going into admin. What he failed to realise is that Celtic were already 4 ahead (having previously been 15 points adrift) when Rangers had their 10 taken off them. PLUS every trophy that Rangers have won over the last 10 years has been tainted because they've been spending money on players instead of giving it going to HMRC.

The fuckwittery of the man is breathtaking.
