deserting a sinking ship?

Hmmnnn.

 

This gets curiouser and curiouser. The person has taped over the number to prevent identification, clearly. What have they to hide? I hear that someone went to the boardroom after the game on Saturday and asked for his money back. Rob, himself, suggested that he was going to sue the club under the Trades Descriptions Act, or words to that effect. They don't need anonymity to mask their views, so why should this person? If they were moving away, for example, that's entirely innocent and a jolly good reason to sell the ticket to someone who could make best use of it.

 

I suspect that it is a dodgy ticket. Counterfeit. Run up on a John Bull printing set, no doubt. Unless it's a professional job. either that or the person concerned came by it in nefarious circumstances.

 

Somone has just sent me a PM. Apparently one of the rules of e-bay is that tickets for football matches from the Premiership down to the Conference Nationale are prohibitted from being sold. Perhaps Mr E-bay doesn't know that we play at this level. Hmmnnn.

 

Hi Wench.

 

My Secretary tells me that 'kittenheels are like stilletto heels only smaller. I'm none the wiser, to be honest.

 

Laz. Heel - Hell - Hill.

 

It's that bloke Calder and the Essex Mafia again. I can't wait for the next matchday programme and the views about our good friends from The Muff. I'll keep an eye out on e-bay and probaly pick one up early next week.

I can picture a scenario like this, AFF:

 

'kitten' rings up the club and speaks to someone who we will only call 'Steve' to protect their real name.

 

kitten: 'Hi Steve, I'm fed up with us losing all the time, and can't stand all the bad language and moaning each time we lose, can I have a refund on my season ticket?'

 

Steve: 'Sorry love, no money back, no guarantee, why don't you try and sell it on ebay? Best to tape over the number on the front though, once those awful people on the message board get to hear of it, your life will be made a misery. Oh, by the way, that will be 25% commission for me to keep shtum'.

 

kitten: 'Cheers Steve, you're a star. xxx.'

 

[all names and characters in the above are of course completely fictional]

No, Wench. 'Caveat emptor' and all that. It would be better to leave the purchaser to be nicked when trying to enter via the York Road turnstile, and then the professionals can trace it back. E-bay are more likely to co-operate with the Serious Fraud Squad than with us saintsfans.

 

Next time there's an appeal for additional funds to purchase David Beckham or someone, those involved might do well to first appoint an Executive portfolio-holder to handle security. The place appears to be leaking like a sieve.

 

I'll bid £25 for the Runners-Up cup for the Conference South 2005/06.

Hi Rob.

 

[sigh]. One of the things that I like about you is your naivety Rob.

 

Just to change the subject, I attended a meeting the other day and it was necessary to elect someone to be 'in charge' of a small group of people to adminster the thing what they do in part of their spare time. After hours of bUllshit, I decided to take the bull by the horns and I spoke up. I started by stating that I liked the people involved a lot [that's the 5 other people present], but that I was going to tell the meeting what I thought of each of them in the field what the meeting was all about. And I did.

 

They then asked me what I considered my own faults to be.

 

"I recognise that I have two main faults", said I to them, "the first is that I am too sensitive, and the second is that, too often, I put other people first."
