I thought the gaffer did seem distracted all day on Saturday - he definitely wasn't his usual self was he ? I did hear a rumour that Luton were sniffing around but it seems he's been saved from that pile of horse manure as it looks like mad Nathan is on his way back there.

Has anybody actually seen the gaffer since full time ? I’m concerned he’s been abducted by those pesky Turks we played against. He’ll turn up over there having been forced at knifepoint into managing a new Turkish club. He will be most upset, after all, he’s never been a kebab lover. He’s got half a packet of my custard creams and three of my slippers in his bag aswell... 🙄 Sherlock Quietman's on the case. Currently following a trail of rose water and icing sugar.
Fellow EEFCers will be delighted that the Turkish Delight essence is presently heading well away from the eastern Mediterranean. In fact it seems to be wending its way more towards Mow Cop and following ley lines.
Although the tracking's been confused somewhat by copious gin vapours emanating from Chateau Murph and horse linament from Deeside Towers.

Darned good stuff is the ole horse linament, stings a bit initially, stinks to high heaven, difficult to get off but does a good job. Come to mention it I think I know someone who fits that description. 🤔

Wasn't suggesting that you were imbibing - in fact, D & Chuffed tell me the way you neck it, there's little chance of even fumes escaping.
I'd investigate that new installation Mellors has in his potting shed, though. Deliveries of two old immersion heater tanks, 100 yards of copper piping and a ton bulk bag of juniper berries? Sounds suspicious to me and there was a definite alcoholic mist creeping out of Chateau Murph like the rolling fog in one o' them creepy movies.
It's either a gin still or Crispin needs to change his aftershave.

Pooh! You hit THAT nail on the head, JD --- I tell Crispy about it every day and it gets me like THIS because it's mega-potent stuff and he splashes it on like our 'Enry used to do and it fair knocks me 'at off. Bleuuuuuggghhh! I've taken to calling him Poncerella, as in ''you SHALL go to the ball, Poncerella."

Oh, and they're right --- those were the days, my friend, we thought they'd never end...... .......wearing clothes with 'this way up, please, if found' printed on them...... regularly having to be carried back to base by Bisp. I've told Vlad about the potting shed, thanks, and he says he'll sort it out. Not going in there myself on account of the inhabitants with 8 legs, you understand.

Are you saying you've got Abba locked up in the potting shed? Thought they'd been quiet re cently. As for incohol-fuelled adventures, I recommend my magic beer boots. Sup to your fill, click your heels and the magic beer boots get you home. It might take days or even weeks and take you places you can't imagine but they'll get you there eventually. Looks like our esteemed government are starting to ease restrictions and the season might restart so the gaffer will be pleased that I'm doing a bit of hearty pre-season training. Mainly involving watching Keystone Cops films and eating pork pies and gherkins.

Indeed profuse apologies there was a hiccup regarding alcohol and the Trabsponsor fixture, and then it all kind of fizzled out... I'm down a dice, lost during lockdown so there's little chance of any play until it's been retrieved... I have very good intentions and love the thrill of the throw, roll and shuffle etc... but the collation of stats and facts gets a little burdensome... {I suppose I could do like the Govt. and make 'em up.}
As far as I can tell EEFC were never relegated from the Prem... If next season kicks in we will replace AV as the lowest finishing non relegated Prem team, in the fixtures... Any road in these unusual circs it's difficult to give it the full full ommmmmmmmm. We'll..

Just so I know, should I be doing post season warm down or pre-season warm up? I'm going for the long hot bath and cover myself in a layer of Deep heat until the restart, everyone at work will just have to put up with it. A word of caution, look out for some Kellogg's snack bars with a slightly different flavour.

Right, pin yer lug 'oles back, children - significant anniversary alert: Ulcergate.
It was exactly one year ago 2nite (well, to the day but one year 2moro to the date) that yours truly swapped the usual back of the Roller for the back of an ambulance + a stretcher en route to the big stripey place for a week-long stay.
Knew you'd want to know. And I'm still off the sauce.
I'm putting this on here as this was where the news first broke.

Great stuff murph, I was intending to bring my 'A' game along for the re start and hit the opposition hard from the off but I might be further along the alphabet than intended by then. Lots of work still to do.

Blimey Murph I remember your "ambulance adventure" but didn't think it was 12 months ago already ! Not wishing to "dis-spirit" (see what I did there) you but my stomach problems have been ongoing for 8 years now (2nd June 2012) and I haven't been able to touch a drop since. Hope you're back to your, ahem ....."best" asap !

And that there won't be any re-occurence.
I've tried multiple variations of incohol since the first kidney stone appeared (September last year ???)
And sadly discovered that the only thing I can drink that doesn't bring on acute pain or body-wrenching acid reflux is a very weak shandy
BTW "big stripey place"? Call me old fashioned but I insisted each time the ambulance came for me (4 times in all) that they took me to a hospital rather than a circus tent.

Been with them 10 years & in my 50's so job prospects probably a bit slim on the ground.
On the plus side, that should leave me plenty of time for training. Or eating pork pies & watching box sets.
Depending on which regime wins out, I'll either be fit as a butcher's dog for the new season or the shape of Pat Butcher.
It's odds-on for porky Pat at the moment. Still, should make it harder for the opposition to get around me in matches. Just don't expect any lung-busting 80 yards sprints from me, gaffer. Unless there's a giant pork pie and a pack of Woodbines waiting at the end of it for me.

Indeed bad news Q,we can only hope and keep everything crossed for you that this is only a short term glitch. Good luck (although you shouldn't need it). Pork pies have many natural ingredients in them and are a vital source of nutrients, can't vouch for the Woodbines though. 🤔

Woodbines? Tobacco's a natural product so they've got to be good for you. I'm limiting myself just in case, though.
I've put the Woodbines next to the tv & thrown the tv remote in the bin. That way I have to get off the sofa & change the tv channel before I can have a Woodbine. I'm currently on 60 tv channels a day.

Sorry to hear that JD - best of luck in your search mate ! On the plus side looks like we are all getting onto tiptop shape in readiness if the the gaffer decides we are playing this season.

That's freeview nailed then (see appropriate thread) get to the end and go around again, don't get drawn in by Naked Attraction or Pimple Popping though, far too much information going on there!. Stick to the good ole Aussies and you can't go wrong. 👍

Quite right, too, JD. After all, they're full of leaves, so just a quarter of a packet provides you with your Five-a-Day. Same reason I used to have plenty of slices of lemon in my G&T and similar liquid refreshments. Whilst we're on the subject, here's a useful emergency measure to remember for future reference with the above Woodies scheme: If your chair is ten feet away from the TV, get a piece of string 12ft long and tie a running loop at each end. One loop goes tightly round the packet, and the other round your wrist. No further instructions needed. Robert's your uncle.

It's like you getting Mellors to do all the running & stretching for you in pre-season training whilst you lie back on the sun lounger & top up your tan. Oops ! I let the secret slip. Ignore that, gaffer, Murph is 100% toned & on top form. Honest, guv.
As for me attemping to tie knots in a long piece of string with my extraordinary manual dexterity, it could only end one way:

Training runs continuing on what's left of the beach as most of it seems to have migrated to Harlech a few miles up the coast due recent summer storms, they probably need the sand more than here anyway. Kicking a ball against the neighbours wall is becoming a bit repetitive and he's getting fed up with the noise but then again it's his holiday home so tough. It's all about fitness.

I braved training*** outside of the back garden for the first time in 6 months on Saturday.
I have to say I took it fairly steady, doing it very gently over a 5-hour period. It went particularly well, and I felt surprisingly good on Sunday. Very few aches and pains. I must have been looking after myself better than I thought.
*** Training = 5 pints of Ringwood Boondoggle, zaalouk (peppers, aubergines, garlic, olive oil with pitta bread and hummus), lamb tagine (with apricot and prunes), a bottle and a half of spanish red.

Bad news on the diet front, recently discovered Coop own brand white chocolate XL cookies, consequently the fitness regime has been increased to walking up and down the prom twice and throwing stones at the tourists swimming in the rip currents. I think they're safe purely on the distances involved. Few days of *flexible furlough* coming up so more time to think of innovative fitness drills just in case the gaffer comes calling. Fingers still crossed for you Q in the job dept.
