NvS - Gutted!!!

I put my name do to play in the North v South game this coming April.

Did it early so I knew I would get a place.

Then I had an e-mail from Darren requesting my deposit.

Finally got the details for that sorted out, only to find out that the wife had booked a Monday to Friday break that very week!!!!

She's been saving coupons from the papers to get a week away for a tenner, can't go wrong with that, or can she???   Yes we can, she only picked the wrong dates.

Missed the game last year as I couldn't afford it due to no work!

Now I'm going to miss this years event due to being in Bridlington for the week.  Good golf courses up there so I will take my clubs with me.

Oh well, third time lucky, where to I put my name down for the North v South 2011 game?

Russ

Bah, humbug.  I reckon you just chickened out because you may be playing against me instead of with me!

So the north have lost one of their better players, weakened the side somewhat.

and who might this player be john?

if your referring to russ the surely coming from essex he is located in the south (lets not start a north/south divde debate again)

rats and sinking ship you say mr marshall, well as just stated russ is from the south

you mind games aint gonna work

Darren M, Russ may live in the South in Essex, but his allegiance is to where he comes from and that is Doncaster, which I believe is up north.

Only to be replaced by another battle hardened CGL veteran!

Sounds great to me Russ...

Game with the North v South

Chill after it

Then go home and have the place to yourself for a few days

Magic - might even start saving tokens for my missus...

John is correct, I'm from Doncaster which is in South Yorkshire (Greatest County in the country).

The fact that I've emigrated to Essex means nothing to me!!!!

Russ

I just loved watching C Scarlett again   There's only one candidate for Colonel White !!

Hi Russ, i played with you at southern qualifier for  Golfshake open last year. Was hoping to catch up again, but it seems it is not to be.

I to was born in Yorkshire, but have to say that the life of a Northern Monkey was not for me, and i am a fully fledged Southerner and proud !!

Shame about your wifes plans, but at least it saves you gettin beat again !

All the best

 Tim.

The worst part about this now is that we didn't get our first choice of dates so I could have played in the NvS game!!!!

Too many people waiting in the wings for me to be able to leave my name on the list until I knew what was happening.

Who knows, maybe I'll go up and play the Sunday game (if I can) and help out with the game on Monday.

Russ

I'm not one for rumours Russ, but running scared has been mentioned.

My wife is a 'Southerner' so I'm beginning to wonder if she has knobbled my chances of playing!

I'm now wondering if she was contacted by one of the Southern team and they told her what dates to say she had booked.

It's one of those low things that the Southern team would do I think......

Russ

Quilty as charged Russ, sorry fella we just had to knobble the Norths best (only) asssett!!

Fear not the rest of you North players we didn't feel the need to speak to your wives.....................

You lot won't be able to concentrate because you'll be too worried about getting your tracky bottoms & white shoes dirty

touche!!

Watford gap is 50 miles north of Watford, definatley to far north.

All Northern Team members:

THE SOUTH CAPTAIN HAS ARTIFICIALLY INCREASED HIS HANDICAP PRIOR TO THE EVENT. HE OBVIOUSLY FEELS THREATENED AND IS USING� UNDERHAND TACTICS TO AID HIS TEAM WHICH STILL HAS NO CHANCE OF WINNING.

�

Mart, I didn't think you would go for such a low blow this early , I will keep my trump cards for later.

I might be able to get up to 10 by April , What can you do about CONGU hey, thank'em   I suppose

Smacks of desperation to me.  I don't know, these modern captains, wouldn't have happened in my day etc: etc:

Yes Wayne.

Last year I wasn't in work so couldn't afford to attend the game.

This year the wife has knobbled me!!!!

Russ

The other thing is that his club handicap on HOW DID I DO is 8.1. Go Figure !!

Russ get your name down, you never know.  Admittedly there are 5 on the waiting list but I am about to remove 3 people so the waiting list will drop to 2 who may not confirm.

Any help gratefully received if you don't play but want to come along. Drop me a PM nearer the time

I am quite sure that David will play off his club handicap, after all it is the only one recognised by CONGU and achieved under strict CONGU conditions as opposed to the  shenanigans that can happen on a forum.

Doesn't matter what he sets his handicap to, this is Davids prize... 

Futile fellas, just remember "you can't Kid a Kidder,Kid" 

Nice can Tim I see you kept yours from last year how much do they cost  37.5p  or 7/6 in old money  

Darren, I'll add my name now and who knows.

Russ

Good luck, Russ, will be nice to see you playing for North.

Keep on flapping your gums boy's !!!!

Someones facts are another persons fiction. Like I say you keeping flapping and we will just sit back watch look listen and you will not want to believe what WILL happen to you.

We as Northerners are handling the situation with dignity and not getting seriously involved in southern arrogance !!!!!

It would be nice if I could still make this game as a player.

But let's be happy to play the game and I hope it's a close affair, no one side running away with it.

And I'm certain that the captain for the North team will have an excellent winner's speach!

Russ

But will he get to speak it, that is the question, Russ.

: :

Who says they will play together. Will they ? Wont they ? IF you southerners are pinning your hopes on one pairing for the north then you will be in for a rude awakening.

Looks like some so called "southern arrogance" went upt'north! 

Who's the bookie! I'll have a wager on it, what odds can I have?

Wayne , after your NLP lets you down you will be straight to the NCP to make a quick get away!!
