Official Match Thread Season 37 Round 13 - Ophidian Old Boys v Roys FFC at Spotswood Oval

[Ed_Gein]

Yessssss. It's

Going to do my morning stretches...

Going to have my pre-game shake...

Make my way to the ground...

Then take the field...

Feign an injury and require substitution after 2 minutes...

Then celebrate a Roys victory at full-time after a hard day at the office...

G A M E D A Y! ! ! !

Ready to make the Roy Boys into my Roy Toys!!

 

[Mobbs]

TheGoatBaron I will be out at Mt Gravatt cemetery today visiting the missus so just in case I'm not back when the match comes around I'll take the opportunity now to congratulate you on your 9-goal haul.

 

[Ed_Gein]

Awwww Ed_Gein I love your enthusiasm babes but NO!

I suppose you are right... I do seem too enthusastic. It was the 'injury' wasn't it? Should I tone it down to a limp? How does this look?

 

[royboy2]

You get advertising?

I do, haven't had a premium membership in a few years now. Although I've heard it's the best deal in town

Ahh fair enough. So did you buy a car?

Yeah you're stuck with me today. We'll get the ball rolling (well actually bouncing - it's not lawn bowls ) around 3pm - good luck to both teams. The weather for the game is RAINY......

Thanks mate! You know I did once start writing a Sim for lawn bowls ... but the maths to deal with the bowls' movements got me all confused and I gave up

And there you have it guys. As I always say, bowl movement difficulties are almost always a topic of discussion on a Sunday morning.

At my age, I have more of a problem with bowel movement, rather than bowl movement.......

[Over The Post]

Was he named "Sooty" prior to that incident?

Of course, he's a little panda.

OK, that's pretty damned cool. Did you keep any of your engines as well as Sooty?
Pictures!

No, I got rid of them when my father died and the workshop was sold off (I was only 18). There's some old photos somewhere.

This was from 1998 after I got back into the hobby:
