Hello Britdiscers,
Apologies for my original cowardly posting. Fortunately I was able to use
the anonymity provided by my work address, which doesn't receive mail, to
avoid having to delete scores of death threats from my inbox.
I must also confess it wasn't me who wrote the incredibly funny piece, the
last paragraph was my work though. We as a team agreed that it should be
made available to a wider audience but no-one dared put their name to it so
I posted it.
Just a couple of replies to points raised in the aftermath. Damo, I would
love to share the pints offered with the piece's author, I missed most of
the party due to going to Safeway to buy a crate of Stella and having a very
good Indian in town. Also Fosters out of plastic glasses isn't my idea of a
perfect pint, I am also too young and wasn't drunk enough to appreciate the
groovy tunes being played, so we sloped off to Si's van to drink and be
serenaded by Tigger's guitar playing.
Wayne Retter mentioned something about not being happy with paying for
rubbish facilities and not going.
This is something of a gamble, if you never go to any tournaments you don't
waste any money but you don't get to play! I am quite happy to gamble a
tenner on the quality of the pitches as it isn't much money and am perfectly
happy not to get a refund. I do feel however that Nancy should get a refund
from the venue though I am surprised it was booked in the first place. It
was a gorgeous venue, shame about the playing surface.
Derek Robbins posted some photos of what I presume (I couldn't be bothered
to waste more work time checking) were golf courses, correct me if I'm wrong
but golfers have the luxury of looking where they are putting their feet (
big ruts etc) and don't have to worry about laying out onto boulders, glass
etc.
Finally (sighs of relief all round), prizes, don't get me wrong I'm a huge
fan of choccie biccies, however, when I was chairman of Superfly, the SU
were hugely impressed by the lovely silver plate we won. I doubt an empty
box would have had the same effect on swaying their opinion that Ultimate is
a joke sport, it also would have looked crap in the College trophy cabinet.
Similarly an empty bottle of spirits wouldn't impress people quick to
dismiss ultimate but it would improve team spirit and liven up the journey
back to York. I'm sure 40p out of each teams entry fee could have been found
to pop down the local bottle shop.
These views are not my own blah, blah, blah. I am merely a puppet under the
power of a higher and truly frightening megalomaniac. I was only trying to
introduce some humour into British Ultimate, I didn't realise everyone was
so boring or had such a crap sense of humour. I wasn't going to include my
e-mail address but I'm quite looking forward to having a heated discussion
with any stupid people out there with nothing better to do.
Thankyou,
Joe, Angels
