People really have forgotten the true meaning of Christmas - a celebration of the passing of the Winter Solstice, and the days starting to lengthen.
The club traditionally give all the players a Turkey at Christmas, Curtis and a few of the other lads have donated theirs to homeless charities (charities for homeless people, not charities who have no offices obviously).
Erm, no. Although the only 2 photos of that vintage I do have show me dressed up as Gary himself in one, and a proud Viking warrior in the other one, both of which might have been a bit 'niche' even for Jimmy Saville.
Shame. It's surprised me that nobody is claiming for rejection trauma by saying they were alone with Saville and he didn't try it on.
Good to see the club and players spending a few days out helping those less fortunate in the local community. Kids in hospital and homeless. I'm a little surprised the usual bloggers and critics of the club haven't mentioned it. Ho Ho Ho.
Just want to pass on my best wishes to all of our Tiger Nation and to all the posters on here, including the half wits that do my head in on occasions, after all it is the season of good will to all.
From an old git, I wish all of you, we are after all Black & Amberites in some shape or form and all the best for the coming festivities, Christmas, New Year or whatever. Those of you who like to get pissed do so with relish, although with advancing age I do tend to err on the cautious side, simply because I can't stand feeling **** the next morning these days. I have seen enough of the inside of a toilet bowl over the years to heed the warning so hopefully I will get merry, very merry but that is it. And I include team photos from an era of Boothferry Park and thanks to Jimmy Lodge for giving me these pics when I was a pesky 13/14 or whatever year old when BP was my second home, and still is spiritually. Ta for all the comments on whatever subject, I have a lurk now and again but for now I will piss off and have another glass of red, oh yes I may be old but I'm a bit of class and a posh git with 3 bottles for a tenner lol. Test your memory now folks, all the best to you all. (Sorry about the autographs but I collected them in those days).
I have a litre and a half of Chateauneuf Du Pape to drink on Christmas day. Had to go into work today on my two weeks off so I deserve it. Rumour is, this bottle was once water about 20 odd years ago before Jesus turned it into wine upon his birth.
Alright it's close enough! Merry Christmas to everyone! Whether I've argued with you, agreed with you or laughed at you! Hopefully City will bring us all together in support of our team starting on Boxing Day well into next year & beyond!
