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

[Kernow]

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.

Ask!, Ask! what is this asking thing. Tell her that's what you want to do.

Ooops better go the missus is calling.

Coming dear


Anyway shame you can't be there TBJ is buying the beer all day now apparently

 

[shiny_arse]

Got notification the other day on who is going to be playing in August and from the football side of things, the bods arranging it have done a sterling job.

So the more important question arises as to who is hanging around for a night on the pop in the night time delights of Uxbridge?

My fading memories conjures up nights of getting legless in the Met Bar (now Scruffy Murphys last time I was in town), pulling in the meat market that was Continentals (long gone - barstewards) and final resort, that old queen of grot nightclub that was discoteque royales.

The last time I was out in town the Old Bill had been open for a couple of months so just goes to show what an old fart I am (shiny-scot - I'm sure you'll read this so feck off already with your comments!!)

So from those who have visited a lot more recently, what are the bars of choice in Uxbridge these days?

Edit - suggest Goaters bring along an ident - we're bound to be the bunch who kick off the first game half cut!

Count me in mate, as it is on the door step I should be up for one or 2 sherberts. Though Royales has changed hands and name now, can't remember wwhat to will have a look when I pop off for a kebab.

So who is coming down, not seen any details at all.

 

[Woodja]

I know that Churchills has re-opened ( the old naafi) - being run by ESS means that it will be almost mess prices (pound a pint etc) and they are looking into getting a late bar sorted

 

[Kernow]

Well we are only a few days away from what could potentially rival the World Cup, has anyone cried off, have more signed up (if not why not!).

 

[Woodja]

We are down to 11 teams at the minute - one pulled out last week (cannot remember who - will bug the organiser tomorrow)

Pegs are out - problem arranging a licence for her to operate here, as it would cost £100 for one day, which she was not willing to pay, and we cannot afford.

Churchills will be open at 1700 for after match drinks, plus the sports pavillion will be open all day with cheap drinks and plenty of sarcasm (just wait till you meet the barmaid, all will become clear)

We do have a small problem with refs though - seems we only have one proper ref (a PTI) - we have been unable to source more (if you know anyone available please let me know - will have a VERY relieved organiser)

Oh, and Royales is now called Liquid - never been there though as CinC home command has other ideas.....

See you all here on Saturday morning - bring your drinking heads DT_Xtremez_28:

Uxbridge are gonna have a hard time this year though - last year we got the plate and the cup (had 2 teams obv) - only one team this year and more (maybe even better?) competition

I did post in this thread about a page ago on this subject.
Sorry to butt in, (I'm not a shiney) but I am a qualified ref, and I'm just around the corner. There are 2 or 3 more on my unit that I can approach too. Possibly not available first thing Sat, but I can help out later in the day at least.

PM me for more details so I'm not Hi-Jacking your thread.

I thought MiB was heading over for the weekend, if so I am sure he would happily ref.

Hope you haven't got TS on the Uxb Team sheet!!

Depends if he's allowed out to play - coming over to pick the family up after 3 weeks alone in SHAPE, not sure if he will get a pass from the boss

Wasn't sure if MiB was still coming over as SHAPE aren't able to field a full team.

 

[Kernow]

He's not, I ill make sure of it LOL

I'm sure MiB will shed some light on his plans once he reads this tomorrow, though he had mentioned that plans were afoot. If he ain't coming over to play then he is a big girls blouse!

Plus if the old get needs a place to crash I'm sure I can assist. But he needs to make sure he bring enough colostomy bags and that he changes them himself!

It's weird this year - last year we had 12 players available and made up 2 of the 5 teams in the competition - this year we can just about scrape together one team. Just who's bright idea was it to send half of our players to work in London? And for those who have been to Uxbridge PSF before - you would be shocked at it now (just 6 clerks and 1 sgt now in the office - thats including man servs + 1 sgt in P1)

 

[Kernow]

Be grateful that you can muster 1 team, no-one here seems interested.

Whats the Team line up, as not seen any Admin Orders or anything else here.

Not seen the admin order? why didnt you say earlier? I sent a soft copy to TBJ as he had doubts if it would get past his WO PSF.

Will check with the organiser tomorrow on which units are coming over (and I'm sure you can get a game with one of them/us if you really want to )

It's fine on the Admin Order Front as I had asked around anyway even though we are very thin on the ground, just couldn't muster much interest. Overworked, underpaid etc.

I was thinking that I would assist in the quality control of the Park Club rather than playing, will have a think about it though.

 

[Woodja]

Park Club won't be open - will be the little pavillion next to the main football pitches which will be open during the matches, with Churchills open from 5 to carry on.

Sorry Kernow, we ain't coming. Tried to form a joint team with Brunssum with no success. We decided against travelling with only 3 players. Colostomy bags were all packed as well as my Devonian passport to allow me entry into a Cornish house.

Sorry guys, if it helps, I would have refereed as well.

Hopefully next year.

 

[Woodja]

Teams this year who have registered with the organiser are as follows:

MOD London
RAF Cranwell
RAF Leeming
RAF Benson
RAF Lyneham
ACOS Manning (Innsworth)
RAF Honington
RAF Coningsby
JSU Northwood
RAF High Wycombe
RAF Uxbridge

plus a few folks from Brize

 

[Humble Scribe]

Biggest trophy to go to the team that can kick the biggest lumps out of the ACOS Manning Team!!

Only Joking!!

I could do with someone fatter and less capable than me on the Coningsby team if you want to play.
