The penultimate blog of the year…….
Who is going to polish Alan Brown’s Stroke Rail!!!!??? Who is in the process of learning a song for the Vets’ dinner in case he is asked to sing?? Who said of one of the Girlies……… “She must have been a fine looking woman in her time”??? And who was the fine looking woman??? Who arrived at Falls BC from Mossley BC to play an away game only to find that the game was actually at Mossley……Brendan Rice’s cousin that’s who! Who spent the morning rolling up on each lane in turn in advance of a singles tie, then promptly lost the tie……our resident horticultural engineer – that’s who! Which current bowlists are known as the “Penthouse Poppets”? Which drinker of pink cider allegedly played a game last weekend nursing a massive hangover? And…………which drinker of pink cider is attending the Oktoberfest in Belfast this year. You know it’s the one where there is lotsa beer, knee slapping, carousing and leatherwear!!! Perhaps he could stand in the background and do a Morris dance with his wrist as limp as Larry Grayson – the real one not our one!!!! Should Jimmy “the Sharpener’s” handle be changed to “Pass Remarkable”. An ex president would think so!!! Which of the Scissor Sisters cannot talk if her hands are tied behind her back! It is said that John Tierney makes his own dinner of an evening when he gets home from the Club. Listen laddie, the only thing you make when you get home in the way of eating, is a phone call to the local Chinese!!!! As the blogger “Top Half” has been outed as “ Billy T Aiken - Grayson I now have Dizzi Rascal narrowed down to two……one male , one female – one not a bowler, the other a bowler!! New consignment of dummies needed apparently! Four pieces which did not make earlier columns due to lack of space………. Who dropped some DVDs for the “discerning gentleman” through his mate’s door only to find that the aforesaid mate actually lived one door up!! Who did not turn up at the appointed time for his dinner and was forced to eat crisp sarnies while his dog burped and farted a lot!! Which senior bowler was spotted sitting uncomfortably outside the womens’ changing room in the lingerie section in M and S Which host served up a homemade beef consommé to his guests at his sophisticated dinner party who were more than suspect that it was Bovril with bits of Andytown Meats mince in it. Shudda bucked in some sherry lad. That wudda fooled them! It works for me! ……….I have been told to say nothing about the new mats and jacks locker……….so I won’t! Pat Butler is married twenty three years this week folks – only seems like …well twenty three years ago. And talking Butlers……….the happy couple were invited on to their old cruise ship by their travel company as it parked in Belfast Dock, for a liquid lunch. As it was free, Butsie readily availed of the opportunity of a gratis nosebag and a multitude of recreational beverages and ended up buying his next year’s holiday at the end of it. Got a good deal apparently……….course you did laddie!!! OK you do have a balcony and there is no such thing as a free nosebag! Dan Cregan……seeing I carried you in the semi final of the four bowls pairs (Vets) how about spending some of the fifty quid you won on the horses and which you kept to your self!!! As you have no doubt heard, mine is a large one!!! OK so you dropped nine shots to Billy T Aiken-Grayson and were distraught. Get over it McGarrity although in fairness he would be hard pushed to get a similar score against your mum! J Peter “Sports Direct” Thompson is retiring again at the age of sixty eight. He is being passed into the care of Age Concern or the Community, whoever will take him first! One more year Petesey Babeee and it could have been a sixty nine for you! Apparently Brian Smith is stepping down as a selector. You will be either missed or replaced Brian! Annual In The Ditch Award Deferred to Next Week! Still time to get nominations in to [email protected]….anonymity assured!!! Keep the chalk wet……..If it wouldn't be too much trouble....

I thought the vets practiced songs by waiting around drinking shandys and then bursting into some old song that make young people despair but somehow have a hypnotic affect on the older generation. As they either join in or stop any conversation they are having.

Sorry Blogmeister, I think you need to re-adjust your thinking. I have only ever been on one side of the bar and I wasn't one of the members enjoying a game on the time specified.
