St Trinians

The return coach journey form Burton was, again, emotional. The coach we had used for our previous game was 'out of service' and so we were supplied with a St Trinians style one, complete with overflowing facilities !, and missing a vital ingredient for the card school, tables !!.
By the time the stagecoach rolled into town bodies were lying everywhere. A 2.a.m stop at MacDonald's kept the lads spirits up but by the time we returned to Devon it was like the set of 'The Living Dead' on board, just without the Ghoul and Mark Ellis !!. I must say, whilst on the topic of ghost like figures, a big 'all the best' to Mark and Stevie Adams who have both gone to Forest Green on loan. They are really good people who I hope do really well, in saying that though they are a terrible advertisement for the English Riviera. You couldn't have chosen two whiter lads to go out on loan !!!!.
Back to the trip and with Broughy cleaning up at cards, Bevs constantly taking pictures of himself and Ricey pushing the boundaries of bodily contact, it was time for me to take a 'Prison Break' ( good play on words eh !!!).
Before I forget, modern lingo has definitely reached new levels, in football anyway. Not content with 'Phat', 'Dark', 'Safe', "you dig me", and other 'hood' slang ( Danny and Muzzi can roll with the best of them ) a Burton player broke new ground last night. As Muzzi walked in to the changing room he saw a mate and said hello to him, the lad in question turned and replied...... " You blessed yeah" !!. What is that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I don't think the reply " Yes old chap, C of E, 1972 St Peter's church " was what he was looking for !.
Onto the new boys and firstly Ben Joyce, silent but deadly, limits his words to seven a day. Secondly Scott Rendell, scores goals, spends a lot of time on the old 'barnet' and hates talking about Wembley !!. Finally Kieran Charnock, loves " Uniiiited", loves weights and hates hotels. Seriously though they have all settled in really well and we are delighted to have them at the club.
