New bird

[gertcha EFM]

Now that Sniffer has his new bird, I'm expecting we won't see as much of him as we used to.

 

City crowds will be down by one, as will attendances at Pipettes gigs.

 

I have to say he was the one bright spark in a pretty horrible existance for me. I'm just hoping that he'll still find time for a pint every few weeks as that'll make me a little more cheerful.

Bit of a long-distance relationship though, isn't it?

 

Where is it she lives? Worcester or is it even further away than that?

 

I can see him moving over there in time, especially once the gaffer moves Fiona into the flat.

 

Wonder who his local non-league team will be?

[gertcha EFM]

I'm guessing it will be Taunton but don't quote me on that, it might be Tiverton. I'm not sure.

 

Do you reckon he'll be out of St.Albans before Christmas ?

 

I wonder how this affects his Ibiza holiday with Adam ? She might not be keen on him going away with a mate.

[Electric ~soul~]

Nah. Thornsy's as faithful as the day is long, mate. I'm sure she can trust him.

[gertcha EFM]

We know that, but it's early doors in their relationship. He needs to prove that to her, and I don't think heading off to Ibiza with Adam is the way to do that.

I can't think of anything worse than a week in Ibiza with just Adam anyway whether I was single or not! Besides we all know what that can do in the downstairs department so she'd not be worried <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

 

You're concern about which non-league club I will follow is very flattering but once a saint always a saint, unlike gertcha I can't just wander off and support the latest fad and totally disregard the team I've supported for years, pre and post liberation.

 

And the young lady in question is hopeful of moving to the area soon, so that'll be nice and you don't need to worry about not seeing me as I'm not one of these blokes that go under the thumb, unlike some of my mates.

Not quite sure what that means, could you please clarify it for me ?

I've supported Man Utd since I was about 4 mate, and that has not changed. I still support them as you well know.

I followed my local non-league side for a bit when I moved to the area, but stopped being bothered about them when Cockram left and I've never said any different.

You seemed to give up supporting Wimbeldon pretty easily.

[gertcha EFM]

Ignoring this one Sniffer ?

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

When Sniffer said all those years ago he was a Wimbledon fan, Gertch, he was obviously talking of his passion for tennis!!

[gertcha EFM]

when I first met him Wimbeldon was his first team. like United was mine and Spurs yours.

Nice use of the past tense, mate!! ;}

COME ON YOU SPURS!!!!

[gertcha EFM]

it's late ! I meant are my first team !

 

Spurs very much my second team though.

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Spurs are my first team, followed closely by Orlando Pirates, Man Utd and Motherwell.

 

Saints are in my Top 10.

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

No,I'm here, you used to love City for years even up to the trophy season, they were your number 1 team.

I was talking about your love of Spurs.

 

I still follow Wimbledon (MK Dons now) but I haven't been for a couple of seasons.

[gertcha EFM]

No I didn't. Peter and Alan will confirm that after Cockram left I lost interest.

 

Obviously I wanted them to win the Trophy and I went to the games, but so did a few thousand other people that no longer bother.

 

If I moved somewhere else I'd follow that local non-league team to.

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

You're keen.

 

If I moved, I wouldn't support a non-league team if you paid me!!

[gertcha EFM]

You know what I mean. If you fancy going to watch a game of footie it's easy to pop down and watch the local non-league side.

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

I guess so.

 

Problem is, you tend to become too involved at non-league level. I prefer the anonymity of watching a match with 36,000 other people.

[gertcha EFM]

yeah, but as you know with Spurs, if you ain't a memebr you can't go on the spur of the moment.

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Yeah, that's true.
