For some reason, that disappointed me…clearly thought I was too senior to be dodgy I reasoned, as I snorted a line of coke* in the toilets minutes later 👀 * I lied about snorting coke.

In fact they are so efficient, they sometimes reply asking for it even though you had put it in your original email 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me about it. Bournemouth, 2 season's ago. Empty yer pockets, everything in yer 'and. Everybody getting the old pat down. I got waved through. Ya dunt gerraway that easy Mr High Viz... I stood there, not moving along, not even an inch while I, nice and slowly, put all my stuff back into the correct pocket of the correct garment. As I walked past Mr HV, I smiled that knowing, satisfied smile and he smiled back knowing exactly what I'd done and why. Pies at Bournemouth were very good as well.

It’s going to be another chilly night on 5th December for Derby v Fleetwood. Difficult to raise any enthusiasm for this rather meaningless event. Wonder if the gate receipts would even cover the cost of switching the floodlights on ?? jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't you just delay any fellow Rams behind you, from entering the ground sooner? It's not like you delayed the end of his shift, or gave him extra work to do. He's not under pressure to ensure everyone is in before kick off. I suspect he would have been equally smiley if you had taken another 15 minutes. Was he shrugging his shoulders at the same time as smiling back at you? What flavour pie did you have? 🤷♂️ Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t worry Mel Morris is chained to a bicycle dynamo in the basement doing penance while B4 lectures him about transfer values. All part of our new sustainability measures carbon neutral plan.

Just that I remember it having been a tasty one. Mucker1884 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
