I don't know who decides, that's officialdom's job and you lot wear the uniforms. At the moment Si Hill is dealing with it, cheers Si. As far as I know, things are in such a state at the moment that we'd struggle to work out who won such and such a tournie two years ago if we didn't know it was Shotgun. We should be archiving this shit on the web. You guys want to look back and tell your grandchildren don't you? 'We came second in this....'. More seriously, it's good for publicity/recognition/sponsorship/history (when we're the biggest sport in town rather than the smallest pondlife wearing cleats) etc. SERIOUS READERS PLEASE LEAVE THIS MAIL NOW. On a lighter note: 4) Sort it out you load of noncers! 5) Chris Hughes may think he can delegate to me, but Chris, you delegate down the food chain, not 400 generations into the future. By the way, how's your pet sabretooth? 6) Quote Ben Ravilious: "I am grateful to you for the British Open. I am not *quite* so grateful to Roger who seems to have had an awful lot of 'good ideas' just as I'm in a blind panic trying to get Tour 1 organised! I just don't like being lectured by players who dont *appear* to do any organising themselves." Shit Ben, do you think the best team in this country runs itself? Well it doesn't. Nor does the Gun website, the Gun accounts; oh and while my memory's working, Strange Blue didn't start all by itself either all those years ago while I was at university. I've brought my quota of good ideas to life, but I'm not asking for a bucketful of nails and a cross. The trumpet I've got will work just fine thanks. 7) As for not getting the Indoor Regional Trophy - AND? This morning I didn't get the mug with the cat's face on it, but my toys are still in the pram. Flame all you like - but didn't your Mum ever tell you: 'don't play with fire'? YOU'LL ONLY GET BURNED!
