Phew, that was some day!  PZ01 kindly arranged a people carrier and we were collected at 0730, got to the ground at 1515 but it was a great game, all credit to Barking for staying up in the league.  The supporters were friendly, the weather wasn't - hence some of the shots being a bit blurry (it really is grim up north).  PZ01 did a sterling job of getting us all home again - think we wobbled in about 2am.  Enjoy the pics (sorry BoP - have completely forgotten your words of wisdom re putting pics on a link but Imageshack is being particularly giving and quick this morning however so not as frustrated as usual).


TDH and BoP cracked open the sherbets for medicinal purposes only (we got stuck in horrendous traffic through London)


While the Boarding Party got stuck into their burgers, the boys got stuck into the game




I finally got one of Tom!












Another photo of Tom!


Conditions were "all the Ws" - wild, windy and wet






Tim was taken off the field in the 2nd half




Tyron and Chris in action

I hasten to point out that I was NOT in the process of clunking down an entire bottle of JD - Fish had simply provided me with a nip of "something to keep the chill out"!

Think this is the 1st pic of Chris that I've posted, well played


It's like buses - you don't see one for ages then 3 come along at once














Jamie Semmens took on the kicking role


Most of the Boarding Party there




Unfortunately for us that was how the score stayed






Unbelievable!  Tom's posing again(!)

In my opinion Jon was man of the match, great play and played peacemaker on a couple of occasions


The boys had to wear their shirts back to front but Danny Clackworthy should have won the prize - he even managed a tie


Not sure who I should have warned here - Merlin before boarding the team bus or the team that Merlin was joining them


Tommy and BoP finally make an appearance to see the boys off


The next time we saw this lot was about 1130pm as we passedthem on the motorway


More BP members are dragged out of the bar






BoP held his own cheese and wine evening


He even invited TDH


Fish forgot the cheese


PZ01 forgot to smile


Luckily Freddie Fish was on hand to cheer up proceedings


Spotted outside toilets at services - has Bay Boy got a secret 2nd job?

Excellent pics Hope, I took a couple of pictures too, which I'll post if I can be arsed.

tHAT ARM OF THE REFEREE NEEDS TO BE AMPUTATED WITH A SAW.

TDH if any of them involve me in snoozyland then please don't bother!

I think I may have one of those somewhere...

TDH, if you can be arsed, where are you going to post them?

Hope, another excellent set. No wonder TDH is not posting his.

Another good day out it would seem.

My secret is out, it's worth doing for the overtime though.....I get time & a turd!
No doubt someone will come up with a crapper job than above or it will all descend into toilet humour.........

A bit of toilet humour? We could soon be on a roll on this one.

Ladies and Gents, I think all toilet humour should be panned otherwise we will just get bogged down in silly posts that leave us all feeling inconvenienced.

What a load of old sh...

Two words sum up the previous posts..Armitage Shanks.

A civic reception for Mounts bay would not go amiss, unless someone thinks it is taking the p....


Civic is, by the way, the first palindrome that I can remember being aware of.

DaveH, I do wonder about you sometimes.  Every fule no that a Civic is a Honda, not a Palindrome  

No, no! I think you are mixing it up with Sunday night at the London Palindrome.

Civic, of course, once used to rival Armitage Shanks, Limoges and Dresden for its porcelain. Percy pointed that out to me ages ago.

Was Percy in the same Lancaster as Bunty & Ginger? That would have taken Dresden out of the equation...

Plane speaking from BoP as usual but I hope that joke doesn't bomb.

Anyway, in my view, a palindrome is just backward thinking....
and Hannah agrees with me

And while you're all feeling flush, get BoP another pint. You know you can all afford it, otherwise, you wouldn't be able to do all that travelling up to places like Barking.
