London Meet Up - Tuesday 14th

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

I'll give it a try.
June has suddenly become a very busy month and I'll have to check finances.

Hmm...

That I could do, but I just last week got put on the Club committee. And Helped agree that people missing training for pissups get barred from the strating 11 till they pay a fine.

[composite word including 'f*ck']!

I could always lie my arse off though... I'll consider it.

so what's the plan? looks like my "probably" has become a "definitely" (i'm sure you'll all be pleased to hear!)

when, who, what, where?

Guten Tag, mein freunds.

Snarl, remember when you were learning to ride your bike? You were so brave, trying to prove that you could take the corners as fast as I. Remember how you crashed and skinned your knee? And how I cuddled you and sang, "Love Lifts Us Up Where We Belong" while I wiped your tears away?
I'm sad to see that special moment means nothing to you.

MV, should I assume this will be at the Post?

The Blue Posts works for me (obviously) - I'm sure we can get food and stuff like last time, and if a certain barmaid's working we can quiz her about her secret Transfans past :D If no-one else has any suggestions? It's right by Oxford Cirus, so it's about as central as it gets. Those who've not been before (Lee? Anyone else?) it's on Kingly Street which is between Regent and Carnaby and it's directly behind Hamleys.

Sound good?

Having helped draft this:



I fully appreciate that people are studying/working/on holiday etc, and as such have not been too concerned with attendance. However, punctuality has been shockingly poor. I, and indeed the club, put in a lot of work to try and improve the fortunes of this club and make us more successful. As your manager, I am demanding of you from here on in to show the same level of effort and dedication.

As of Tuesday 21st June, nobody has anymore exams, and unless I'm mistaken the only person on holiday will be Pete. From that date, I will be taking training EXTREMELY SERIOUSLY. If you won't, maybe Spartans is not for you. I fully intend to have an excellent season this season, and I only want players in my squad who are as committed to that cause. This is not arrogance or stubborness, just me saying that I really want to win things this year, and it's not fair on those who feel the same - and there are many - if a select few let the side down, literally. So I say this to you with the utmost sincerity:

If you want to play for my team, turn up to training regularly and ON TIME. If you cannot do this, stay at home on your sofa. Of course, if you have other commitments that make you a bit late, thats not a problem. Just come and see me so I know. Otherwise, please be punctual. We are not on Greek time. Have a think about whether you want to play for a winning club or a mediocre one. If its the former, I'll see you on Tuesday at 7.



I would be an utter, utter kent if I didn't go training on Tuesday, so alas I will not be able to fondle all of your lovely features come Tuesday.

It is possible that I stated that in my account that got 'hurt'

My new profile merely mentions egg a lot.

Besides, I'm allowed to grow as a person, I have decided to only be a kent on Wednesdays and the w/e. Unfortunately, this means I have to stick to my regular schedule on Tuesdays.
