Tg17 5-a-side - Uxbridge - Sat 04 Aug 07

[Woodja]

Only 10 teams have expressed an interest so far - and we have only received one deposit.

Hopefully we will receive additional details this week, as the original cut off date is 30 Jun 07.

Those of you interested in coming down for the day - go kick whoever is organising the teams at your units to get the paperwork down to us asap (please!)

 

[KingGuin]

So you are going to make it to Uxbridge then KingGuin. Bit far south for you innit.

Would love to my dear FN but being bound for sunnier climes I have to decline. As an aside I put the gen out to 31 other TG17 at my unit and, despite, hastening, have had not one flicker of interest. Youngsters - bah!

 

[Man in Black]

We are hopefully be bringing a team from SHAPE. Very much looking forward to it. See you there.

Me thinks I spoke too soon. Very unlikely that SHAPE will be bringing a team now, although if that changes, we will let you know.

If you can't put a full team together, just come over with as many guys as you can get. I wouldn't say no to a couple of extra subs - more importantly I could do with some Jupiler for my Perfect Draft. DT_Xtremez_30:

Sod Jupiler - I need Leffe refills for my perfectdraft (and damn Philips to the seven hells for saying that they have no plans to release the system in the UK - bah)

On the other hand - I know the organiser would be happy to hear that there is at least one ref coming :raf:

If you haven't seen this site before, well worth a look. I have just had 4 barrels from them including a couple of leffe. Delivery took about 10 days in all.

If you're still short of refs give me a PM. There's 2 of us just round the corner at the other unit. Can't speak for the other guy but I should be free.

As much as we would like, it just isn't cost effective for 4 of us to come across from Belgium. Sorry guys, unless we get more players, we ain't coming. And I would've brought my refs kit as well.

LOA, duty free petrol and a cheap weekend return on the eurotunnel (or 2 even cheaper day-returns if you pay cash in the Amex travel shop). It sounds like an excuse to me.DT_Xtremez_28: You could even make a profit on the weekend if you think creatively. 5-a-side tournaments are thirsty work if you know what I mean.

Yes but your thirst lasts one or two cans and thats you out of the game!

MiB, Come on, make the effort mate, be good to catch up! TBJ has offered to get the first round in for everyone!

It makes for a cheap night out! I'm only getting the first round in for ex-UKSU and current NAEW staff. Anyone who worked (lol) in J6 can get their own drinks in. ::

Would that be J6 and then NMR staff? Or am I still a million miles away?

We haven't given up hope yet, we have contacted another Unit across the border to see if they have anyone. I appreciate all the comments from Kernow (I hate using that word) and TBJ and we will if possible bring a team, but getting a weekend pass from the Mrs and then coughing up the eurotunnel costs doesn't bode well for the hen-pecked MiB!

Nah I never worked in those sections LOL

Don't worry about the tunnel costs simply go down to calais and keep an eye out for some illegals and jump on the back of the same lorry.

If Mrs MiB says no then I will have a word!

I never actually used that word, as I assumed I was correct in my deductions (I am aren't I!). I'm not normally brave enough to argue with Mrs MiB at the best of times, but now she is pregnant............

Right so we are agreed, you sneak out of the house on Friday night (tell her you are getting a paper or something - wimmin are stupid anyway), catch the first available moped to calais, sneak on to a truck at calais, hitch a lift to Uxbridge - Have a hooli, maybe ref a bit (not too much as you are getting on now) and simply reverse the trip come Sunday (oh and don't forget the paper as she may get suspicious)

The good (?) news is that NAAFI have bugger all to do with Uxbridge - the bar will (I think anyway) be run by ESS with cans going for the normal £1 - and the organiser has been trying to arrange food to be supplied by Pegs (tm)

And I take it you will be buying the beers for all of us ex-SHAPIANs then (except J6) - I keep seeing SHAPE plates turn up at the gate every time I am on guard.

Off Topic Oh, and TBJ - let me/your best man know how you do on the board this week - am on guard atm so no idea whats going on (nothing new there then)

Yeh can all get tae feck and I will sit drinking my Jupe on me own.

Won't bother mentioning that I may possibly taking orders for perfect draft barrels if you play your cards right!!

Coo - now thats a nice offer - I even have 2 empty barrels to trade (for the deposit)

Had a look at the website mentioned earlier - the £23 quid a keg seems a bit steep for me (£2 a pint?) compared to what I seem to remember the SHAPE prices (less than 20 euros if I remember correctly) - and yes, I know that they were duty free, but it's still expensive

ps. Could be worse I suppose - you could be drinking Belikin

Nah it's too late the moment has past now!

Ah feck it, I will have a chat with a mutual friend when he returns and see what I can organise, no guarantees.

If Tommo could swing by on the way thru then the beer stock would be even greater, Fancy using flying to the falklands as an excuse!

Good to see they have you doing guard will try not to run you over in the chelsea tractor when I see youDT_Xtremez_30:

I did ask the missus if I could go 2 days early so I could get p1ssed at Uxbridge. God my head hurts just thinking about her response. I'll be there next year though and I will bring back a car full.
