So a cracking day of hot weather n music in KPGs beer garden this afternoon.

Rumour has it that after the power went off, Pool’s floodlights came on with a very intense beam to guide in a spaceship…..aliens arrived, went in for talks, came out shaking their little silver heads and took off muttering abuse.
The floodlights dimmed and the power came back on ….

So basically we're swapping Raj for the baldy bloke out of Hot Chocolate and Karen Carpenter..?

I fucking knew that neither of them were really dead..!

Might even tempt me into attending games again, especially if Elvis gets the catering contract...

If Elvis is involved, will The Passion Killers be playing in The corner Flag?

Latest development is the aliens are from the planet Frido.
Apparently they offered Raj the option of being allowed to take over or …. they’ll turn him into a glass toby jug…
They new board will indeed consist of Errol Brow, Karen Carpenter, Reg Varney, Mussolini, Jamie’s masseur, Josef Stalin and Sooty.
Signing players will present no problems as players refusing to sign and play their puddings out will be ‘snapped’…then turned into confetti.
Entrance will be 10p on the day and season tickets for life anvailable all at one price of 99p ….terms are available…plus free shirt and polo shirt every season with free transport and accommodation for away fixtures.

Everyone in the town with solar panels will be laughing their t!ts off just now.

Basing installing solar panels on the strength of a 3 hour outage is burning full afterburner.

I saw the Russians were marching up Church Street last night.

I thought it really strange that my mobile signal went down at the same time, that doesn't usually happen when we have a power cut!!

I reckon China. Russia are still on Dial-Up and North Korea are still working on how Ker-Pkunk works!! :uhoh:
