Bored Thursday night ramblings

Anne's on nights and it's not really worth going up to have pint with my Mum and Dad and our Ste so I'm home alone and a wee bit bored.

I’ve been meaning to post this for a week or so…it’s from the Waterloo programme and corresponds to the all important Esher game (the last bit made me chuckle) :

Phil Winstanley “Before the game we had been given two separate changing rooms. As is usually the case the forwards and backs split. Believe me that I realised 1½ hours before kick-off I could do no more. As a coach you are always tempted to say a little bit more but on Saturday I could see that the forwards were more than in control and I resorted to spending my time stepping over hairdryers and make-up in the backs room”

The Esher win is especially gratifying for ‘loo because, as I’ve mentioned before, Esher have enjoyed sniping at the men green, red & white.

Esher RFC: Match Report - Waterloo

"Esher may feel the more aggrieved not to have taken the full points as at least they tried to play some decent rugby, and may not have got the rub of the green or should that be mud. Waterloo play a style that will not win many plaudits in the entertainment stakes."

“Esher may feel the more aggrieved not to have taken the full points as at least they tried to play some decent rugby, and may not have got the rub of the green or should that be mud. Waterloo play a style that will not win many plaudits in the entertainment stakes.”

They also included these comments in the program before the Esher – Waterloo game. A fact that was commented on more than once when everyone met up at St Anthony’s. It is just fuel to the fire when a team arrives at a ground to find that they’ve already been bad mouthed. The team-talk was already written for them. ‘loo put on a show and took Esher to the cleaners. Saying that by all accounts the hosts where more than gracious afterwards and even played Waterloo by Abba after the final whistle!!!

Esher local newspaper report

In other news Radio 4 are repeating That Mitchell & Webb sound on Thursdays at 6:30….this is possibly my favourite ever Radio 4 comedy. Tonight’s was the one with the German SS trooper questioning whether the skull & crossbone on their caps meant they were the baddies and the National Milk Helpline that has received 346 calls asking "Why the hell would anyone want a national milk helpline?" and 1 from a young man who wanted to know if it was true that you get banana milkshake from milking monkeys.
