Fk me, I scored 25!!

 

 

[CANV EFM]

im going to aim for 40

[Laz]

I only got 21 !

[The Caretaker]

Who's a good boy then.

 

I only scored 20 .... but then again I couldn't remenber some things so I guessed <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

[EFM's Librarian]

hmm, rather embarassinly I only scored 7 <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I think that's almost certainly worse than being a confirmed alcoholic

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

I've texted you Libro, you moron!

 

 

[EFM's Librarian]

I know why does that make me a moron? Unlikely i'll be joining you for your planned activity. I've got to spend the next 2 and a half weeks working very hard in order to have a couple of weeks off. You never know though, I may change my mind at the last minute

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Cool, man!

 

I'm packing this lot in for good, I reckon. I was looking at their season tickets - only £250. That's gotta be good value (assuming 3rd Division football next season).

 

 

[EFM's Librarian]

Heard on the radio this morning that they might be getting a former world cup manager for the remainder of the season. Not sure if that's true though?

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Yeah - it's been confirmed!

Blimey!!!!! I never drink that often, due to the fact that i have to drive home, and havn't got the luxury of living in St.Albans and so i am always more than likely sober.

Bearing this in mind, i've got a score of 8, which by the above statement, i maybe condsidered to have a "drinking" problem.

Is it coz i am a light-weight?!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Yeah it's the former Senegal manager, although I don't think he has been confirmed as Cambridge manager but is having talks with the club.

[YELLOW]

Scored a rather paltry 8. Let's face it I don't feel guilty after drinking and most of my mates are alcoholics anyway so why would they be worried about me drinking!!

[Chubbhead EFM]

I got 10!bit pathetic really. Although I'm glad no-one's been hurt as a result of my drinking! Plus, I think I lied on a few of them

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

He is the former Cameroon manager and a big hit in Thorns Towers is old Claude!

 

I got 22!

Now onto my drug problem <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

[YELLOW]

Yeah of course, apologies for my mistake. He's the dude with the glasses and the funny hair I seem to recall.
