OK...Mrs G and me will also be up for a couple of weeks. See you in the Innes (hopefully) on the 29th.

Hi Dmacca.....I can't remember whether you travel up by rail to Inverness or have the sense not to, however, if you are using the rail network please be aware of the latest news:- RAIL STRIKE: RMT signaller members will be asked not to book on between noon on Friday 21 July 2006 and 11.59am on Saturday 22 July 2006. Also for members not to book on between the hours of noon on Thursday 27 July 2006 and 11.59am on Saturday 29 July 2006.

Unfortunately not Harry. Not sure if its possible to do either - I don't have that power I'm afraid. The NPL will be the same format as previous season's with a few 'tweaks' here and there.

Many congratulations to TM4TJ in winning this contest. :clapping04: :clapping04: :clapping04: I let myself down in the later stages by against 'my rules' and shot myself in the foot - having said, I think TM4TJ was just out of reach anyway. I also enjoying my battle with Harry and Scotty for the runners up spot - well done Harry, you were just that bit better. Thanks also the Scotty for running the contest which kept the interest in the WC alive for many. A great game and all good preparation for the forthcoming NPL (wonder if I can get as points in that one...)

Maybe we'll get two minutes coverage now instead of one! :007:

Hmm..good point guys...maybe we'd better not help Brum after all... :015: :015:

Another clean sheet...thats seven games now without conceeding a goal, now thats got to be good.

Gotta get me one o' them....

:015: :015: :015: I always look forward to spending time with you two... :004: :004: :001: :015:

Can I urge you all to spend as much as possible at JJB stores over the next seven days. We can't risk Wigan falling short of raising the £5.5M for Heskey. :015: :015:

Who said I'd be looking forward to that?... :004: Ah, go on then.... looking forward to ... miles and miles of walking in training for HM5 ... hours and hours of swimming in training for HM5 ... blisters (not!) ... the smell of Deep Heat ... Jnr's farting ceremony every piggin' morning ... the camaraderie (spell check on...) … the route planning (which reminds me – must get some more pins!) … the sheer exhilaration on completing the march … the ‘excitement’ of not knowing where were going until the last minute

Superb... :015: :015:

Mate of mine calls them Salt & ****** crisps...... :blush02:

Thanks for the update Charles - not a tough work out then!. Helps with match fitness I suppose. Always nice to see ICT hitting double figures though, but I doubt it'll send shock waves through the SPL.. :004:

Well I can't find bog all about this football team on t'internet. I've Googled it...the lot...result...zilch. Is Montecatini a boys club side or what. I've gone through all the Serie A B C D F etc etc - nowt. Is the team actually called Montecatini ? Wouldn't mind knowing a little about the side really...just adds a bit of interest. Nearest match I could find was http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A.C._Montichiari Nice colours though... :004:

Well done ya brainbox.....I'll buy some chicken dippers to go with your drink. :clapping04: :clapping04: :clapping04:

Got to agree with that - they were the only guys talking any sense.

To quote DS from the News Story... "....working closely with the Board and Chief Executive Mike Smith, who has full responsibility for the club's administrative and commercial arms..." Why does this worry me? :confused07:

....another season of… … travelling hundreds of miles in my quest for entertainment. … meeting ‘new’ nutters. … getting matches called off – just because I’m there. … banter in the Innes. … banter outside the Innes. … buying another feckin football shirt. … watching ICT winning. … watching ICT fluke a defeat. … watching ICT run rings around the ‘so called’ big boys. … match day ticket hassles. … planning a trip up - only for the date to be changed to satisfy TV. … being treated like a leper by some stewards. … chicken Tikka Massala. … pies. … having a dislike for all things OF. … SFA Cup draws. … laughing at Livvy. … laughing at County. … tabloid bullshit. … cheering every ICT goal whether I’m there or not. … kicking cats or other objects that get in my way when we concede a goal. … taking points from the OF. … reading about car parking problems. … drivel and excuses from managers of teams we have beaten. … the utterly dire Scotsport. … watching the world go by from a train window. … watching the world go by from an aircraft window. … superb refereeing! … saying 3-1, 3-1, 3-1, 3-1 on the 8th of Feb. … signing “Oh Inverness is wonderful….” … attempts to actually get the home support to make a feckin noise. … NPL mayhem. … of transfer shenanigans, rumours and bullshit. … supporting ICT, HMS Sneck and all who sail in her.

Just a typical schoolboy rounders tantrum - he'll be ok when he's had his tea and will be coming out to play again soon.

My pre NPL season training is going well so far. Had a bad result last night the French but I reckon I can pull this one off with four games left. Its going to be tight.

:015: :015: :017:

I'd like to know how you'd get on it in the first place if you was pished......last roundabout I saw looked like a bed, round and round and round it went but I was blowed if I could get on it.

BORED?...feckin BORED?.... my feckin erse. Kids today pah!!!... You've got too MANY things to do...how the feck can any kid today possibly be feckin' BORED??
