Wimbledon Challenger

[Admiral]

So who is playing the Wimbledon in a couple of weeks?

[Lewisio]

Did you get in this one Admiral - or rejected again?

[Admiral]

Will have to find out fella....probably binned again??

[ObiWan]

At challenger events who decides to accept/reject entries.Is it the local organisers or BE??

[alansd]

entered but have no idea if I will get in or not. Hopefully will know this week

[Admiral]

Very much doubt it alan!!

[kimboshay]

ah thats a nice confidence boost you have given alansd, Admiral!!

Alan you worked out how you guna get a straight red at wimbledon yet?

[Luncheon]

gonna show his tinky winky isn't he???

[Markymark]

gonna show his tinky winky isn't he???

I'm suddenly feeling very queasy at the thought of umpiring that event.....

[Luncheon]

are you going to be umpiring again there MarkyMark?

So more dodgy umpiring at Wimbledon then.....bearing in mind you admitted in an earlier thread that you think the full-timers should be treated differently to the rest of us "potterers"!!!

[ObiWan]

ah thats a nice confidence boost you have given alansd, Admiral!!

Alan you worked out how you guna get a straight red at wimbledon yet?


As it's his home club I would suggest that nothing less than b*ggering the tournamet ref would suffice!!

[Admiral]

Homo's....!!

[Markymark]

I said no such thing!!

I said that Nathan & Gail get away with not playing domestic events because they can. The laws apply to everyone.

Who knows about Mark.....if he has a friendly draw, he plays well, others might not be peaking he could be National Champion............Sellwood for England!!!

That's the way of the world Luncheon. Gail & Nathan work by different rules from Suzanne & David. Just the way it is.

And your point is? You've just proven that I said what I said I said?

[Luncheon]

You've said that it is the way of the world that there are different standards by different players....thus you treat the full timers different to us potterers! Inconsistent Umpiring!

[Markymark]

Where is the reference to umpiring? The reference is to how the players are treated by the England camp and entry into tournaments.

[Luncheon]

You stating its the way of the world that the bigger stars get preferential treatment.....coming from an umpire....I think its whats written between the lines!
You're secretly admitting to treating people differently on court!

[Markymark]

Lol. That's what you secretly want me to admit. But I ain't gonna!!! Players are all treated exactly the same (or they are by me anyway).

Bigger stars do get preferential treatment. You're mad if you think that's not true. But not in terms of how the laws are applied to them. Stop trying to wind me up!! :D

[Luncheon]

Stop trying to wind me up!! :D

Thought you were gonna bite.....ah well....will have to try to wind up someone else!

I heard on the grapevine that Gilbert was injured hence his speedy loss to Beckman, if he hadn't been injured apparantly he would have run out comfortable winner and gone on to the semi's!

[Markymark]

No doubt. :p

[alansd]

Cheers for that admiral. No idea if I will get in or not. Shoudl get in the doubles ok not that bothered about the singles just thought if I am going to play well anywhere it will be at my home venue.
Dont think I am going to bugger the tournament referee and trust me if I did, I wouldnt be getting red carded, that would be a performance worth seeing!! a bye straight to the semis at least for that bit of action.
You will let us know if you get a wildcard wont you old boy.

[richard murray]

He used to beat Beckman when he played for Surrey. What did he injure?

Got one MarkyMark!

who you playing doubles with Alan?

[alansd]

One of those maylasian guys that are at Brighton Uni that will be playing for Sussex this weekend!!

[Billy bothered]

Richard Murray what the hell do you know about Ben Beckman losing to that Chris Gilbert. I seem to remember watching Chris play for the 3rd team before being chucked out for no commitment according to the selectors at the time. Ben played that season in the 2nd team bit of a difference old boy 2nd team and 3rd team with Surrey.
Injured in the nationals, well he played like he had only one leg and a patch over both eyes so maybe I can agree with luncheon on that one. My mate thought that match was a wind up as he had never watched at this level before.

[David69]

Someone's bovvered.

Where's Powderpuff when you need him?

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

Ironing or the dishes, one or the other.

Got to agree with Billy on this one.

[Luncheon]

I didn't see the game....but did he have one patch over both eyes or two patches,one over each eye?
Makes a difference the former would be a bit more uncomfortable and off-putting!

[Admiral]

Have you finished ladies.....so back to the original question - who the fcuk is playing in the Wimbledon?

[Luncheon]

sorry Admiral....you not as chirpy at the mo? Wrong time of the month???? Long time till pay day?

I'll be at the Wimbledon....provided accepted into draw. Quite a few from God's County heading up I think.

[Admiral]

You kids still worry about pay day do you?

When you say Gods Country....you mean Manchester right?

[alansd]

I would have thought we would have heard by now!!
I'm an impatient man. Are you sure you will get in admiral? I bet your getting nervous, first tournament in a while?

[Luncheon]

No but I thought I'd phrase it nicely for you.....should I have said....long time till pension day?

Manchester.....you're a funny guy.....do you know how far north of the north/south border (Winchester) that is....must be at least 300 miles! Almost the arctic circle!

[alansd]

I would have thought you got your cash from the DSS every fortnight Luncheon?

[Luncheon]

says you!
Who only moved to London, coz there were already too many beggers in Scotland!!!!!

P.s. won't find out till beg of next week!

[Admiral]

Stop sending me private messages Lunchmeat.......I've told you before I'm not interested buying The Big Issue!!

[alansd]

Came down here to steal you jobs and women and am doing ok at that so you can keep quiet chuckle head.
I bet he is the big issue hawker that tries to sell you it and whe you tell him to piss off he asks for your spare change. Have some pride man

[Luncheon]

You stop replying and offering me "Over 40's big and Beautiful" I'm not in your age bracket!!!

[Admiral]

Not even the over 40's would be interested in you fella!

[alansd]

and you might be big but certainly not beautiful

Word is it that Luncheon has gotten himself a little lady to look after these days??

[ObiWan]

At challenger events who decides to accept/reject entries.Is it the local organisers or BE??

Is anyone gonna answer my original question from yesterday??
Luncheon,you should know

[Luncheon]

I believe its the Jedi Council....you should know!

[alansd]

I think each county gets a couple of wildcards per event.
I know the entries went to BE to do seedings and draws because someone was trying to get in late and had to call up Milton Keynes. I assume it is Badmitnon england

[Billy bothered]

yes you were right Luncheon it was a patch on both eyes or I would hope so judging by the quality of Chris's play.

[ObiWan]

I believe its the Jedi Council....you should know!

An informative answer would have earned you a jam donut

[ObiWan]

Thankyou Alan,hey no-one at wmbldn can even sneeze without you knowing about it fella!!

chill DUD. just what I heard.

[alansd]

Billy does seem pretty bothered doesnt he!!

[alansd]

Thankyou Alan,hey no-one at wmbldn can even sneeze without you knowing about it fella!!

No no, just pass on what I hear.
Now if you lose this game on saturday then much piss taking could be happening!!

[Luncheon]

An informative answer would have earned you a jam donut

A donut? Damn it.......

For Elites and Challengers its the events department at Badminton England, they do the seedings and the entries to the draw....also the reserve list order.
For Sats its done by individual county associations, who probably go on rankings unless there is someone obvious in the draw e.g. Constable.
I believe county's do get a wildcard berth or two (hence Alan might get in).

Is that a better detailed answer.....but at the end of the day.....the Jedi Council might still be involved....using the force!

[richard murray]

sounds more like billy bummed

[alansd]

Oi truncheon, less of that abuse! I stick up for you

For a challenger I might have managed to get in the singles and doubles should be fine! If I dont then I will get pissed and shout abuse at you! Screw it, even if I do get in I will get pissed afterwards and shout abuse!!

I owe you one donut,maybe next weekend.I can already hear you salivating.........
Weren't seedings/entries for Sat events also done by BE until recently??

[Admiral]

Fancy the same bet on this eveent Lunchmeat?

[alansd]

at least a quarter final is it?

[Luncheon]

you haven't paid up on the nats.....you're a dishonourable better!

[alansd]

Have you seen him since the nats??

[Admiral]

I thought we had gone through this...non runner = no bet!!

Are we on or not?

[Luncheon]

seen who????

[Luncheon]

How much was it.....a tenner that you wouldn't get past the Quarters at the Nationals.......
I'll give you a tenner bet that you can't win the semi....as a Challenger is a lot weaker than the Nats.
If I was betting at the bookies, I'd say theres a high probability you would reach the final!

You interested in those terms.....or are we still in negotiation?

[Admiral]

You've got to be joking....I will be knackered after 1 set never mind a couple of games!

The odds are stacked in your favour....£10 to reach the quarters
£10 you don't reach the final....??

[alansd]

What decent singles players will be there? Anyone know?

[Luncheon]

£10 to reach the quarters, thats only 2 rounds......with a decent draw that'll be easy....I'll give you £10 you can't reach a semi.

And was that a quote from me....£10 won't reach a final......or are you saying that I won't reach a final......coz the unwritten rule is.....never bet on yourself!!!! I would never anticipate reaching the final of a challenger.

[Admiral]

Come on fella, it's a little incentive for you. A man of your stature could breeze into the final.......

[alansd]

Why dont you boys have a straight bet, who gets further? Nice and simple.

[Billy bothered]

Can Chris Gilbert beat you Alan ?

[alansd]

singles, probably yeah. Never played him in a tournament though. Last time we played was a few months ago and we went to three but I reckon in a tournament he would duff me up.
What about you billy?
Why you so interested?

[Luncheon]

Why dont you boys have a straight bet, who gets further? Nice and simple.

Sounds reasonable.....is that a 3 way bet.....you in as well Al?

[alansd]

No chance, if we add into that bet for every round you dont get through you can make up for it with a pint or two I will take you up on it though!! Sounds more like it, eh admiral.
Hvae you heard that for guernsey this year the theme is Heroes and Villans. You can keeo your Zorro outfit!

[Admiral]

Are you playing singles Lunchmeat?

[Luncheon]

Are you playing singles Lunchmeat?

No chance! Last time I played singles at Wimbledon Darren Hall was supposed to be making a comeback......he pulled out and I then got battered in the second round instead of the 1st!
Doubles and Mixed.....the non-running events!

[alansd]

Come on, what about my bet then.
I loose in the second round you two get through to the semis I have to make up for it with a pint a round?? just to break even. Admiral, sound like a mans bet to you?

[Luncheon]

But when you've finished you'll get pissed regardless...so yours is a bit of an empty bet!

[alansd]

but this way I will do it with more gusto!!
Who knows I might get through a round or two then no time for drinking
Come on then!!

[Admiral]

The odds are stacked in Lunchmeats favour....he will be seeded and will be carried by his partner!

The Admiral could have the No1 seed in the first round.....then it's thank you and goodnight!!

[Luncheon]

so if you get through rounds......you're happy.
If you lose early.....then you start drinking....you're happy

Whats in it for us??? Lame bet Scots boy!

[alansd]

Not such a lame bet from where I am sitting!!

Luncheon wont be seeded and I doubt there are partners out there that could carry him (either way you mean it!!
Not like down in devon eh chris??

[Luncheon]

Can't see I'll be seeded...but who knows what the crazy seedings of this season will bring.

[alansd]

were you not seeded at the middx???

[Hillbilly boy]

Who are the top boys playing this here tournament then boys?

if that gilbert beats yo then yo wont get in alan boy, i think yo got to look at this damn thing straight boy.

[alansd]

Thanks for that billy but you have to give it a shot dont you?
First season playing tournaments and even though I am training with the best coach avaliable to me its pointless when I do get better unless I am used to playing these kind events.
No?

[Hillbilly boy]

I guess so boy, no harm in trying things, just like me and the pigs, squeal piggy!

who is your coach boy?

[alansd]

Just some little indian fella.
You probably wouldnt have hard of him

[Hillbilly boy]

yo embrassed to say his name boy. how can a small indian teach badminton, make no sense boy! how can yo take orders or abuse from a small indian boy, that make even less sense boy!

[alansd]

I never said he was a small boy, You just getting a bit excited there, all that time out on the mountains alone is warping your mind!!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

Here, don't knock spending lots of time out in the mountainsides.

The chosen one swears by it!!

[Hillbilly boy]

small and little mean same thing boy, just cos yo know im right boy! admit it!

[richard murray]

return of the powderfluff?

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

you annoucning your return again tricky?

go put your cape on then, we'll humour you.

[Billy bothered]

Hill Billy,
I think Alan is refering to Tomas John a trainer of players who just want to run around like headless chicken in the south of London.
keep paying the money Alan and lets see your rise to fame but i hope you have some shots as we have seen what old Tomas john has done for Toby at the nationals this year. Shame but Toby was better than that three years ago when he was training down in Bath.
Good luck but better you than me.

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

Is he any relation to Little John?

The presumably fictional character in the legend of Robin Hood, who trained his merry men to run around Nottingham like headless chickens?

[alansd]

You coached many all england champions yourself chosenone or billy?

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

When did you win the All England Alan?

Have I played you?

[alansd]

Not myself but the geezer you are referring to has coached a couple of them

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

When did Robin Hood win the All England?

Certainly before my time!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

Maybe the Admiral will remember?

I don't know.

[alansd]

Even coached any national champions? Being so keen to put others down.

[alansd]

Maybe the Admiral will remember?

I don't know.

The admiral does know. In fact for his current comeback I hear has has had a couple of sessions with the same geezer

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

Ladybird, ladybird.

When did I put Thomas John down?

I merely asked if he was related to the supposedly fictional Little John.

[alansd]

Ladybird, ladybird.

When did I put Thomas John down?

I merely asked if he was related to the supposedly fictional Little John.

Maybe I misread, I do appologise if thats the case. Its late.

[Hillbilly boy]

Never heard of this tom john boy but doubt he trained an all england champion boy.

now little john, a true inspiration.

when yo going to win the all england then alan?

[Admiral]

I can assure you that The Admiral has never had a session with Little John!!

[Billy bothered]

Alan I think you have been sold the same Fiction from the little John as most others before you.

Just out of interest who has this lttle John coached that would have been an All England champion. I think most readers on here would like to hear this list.

Still, keep paying the money old boy I am sure you will make it like all the others before you.

[Mark.C]

any news on that tenner admiral?

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

Why is Marky trying to extort money from you Admiral?

Ladybird, you've gone very quiet all of a sudden.

:)

[alansd]

Make it a rule never to argue with drunks or fools and I think billy might be both.
Anyone who entered at home today. Am certain the start times will be through today. The cambs was well over a week early and thats only a sat.

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

The chosen one hasn't had a drink in a long time.

Maybe this makes him a fool?

:(

[alansd]

I wouldnt like to guess!!

I was talking about billy

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

As a hardened drinker yourself ladybird, do you think I need counselling?

"My name is the chosen one and I havent had a drink in....."

[Admiral]

Send me your address Mark and a crisp £10 note will be on its way to you!!

[alansd]

the 19th hole
Jersey

That should find its way to him alright

[bigfoot]

Alan I think you have been sold the same Fiction from the little John as most others before you.

Still, keep paying the money old boy I am sure you will make it like all the others before you.


who is your coach out of interest Billy Bothered?

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

I can assure you that The Admiral has never had a session with Little John!!

Not even a drinking session?

Little John can really hold his mead!

[Billy bothered]

I used to hit with Dave Eddy before my knees gave up Bigfoot.

Alan I don't seem to remember us having an argument just a conversation and you said your coach Tomas John had coached All England Winners.

I then asked the question who were these players ?

As I am neither drunk or stupid I assume you are trying to dodge the question. As you seem to be on here quite a bit!!!!! sad or out of work I don't know which it is strange not to answer a question that I am sure you know the answer to.

[richard murray]

Morten Frost

It wasnt him that told me but I know he used to do a bit of work with Morten Frost who might have won it a few times. Perhaps another but I am not sure. I am sure you knew the answer to your own question though.
I might be sad, depends on who you ask, but can assure you I am in employment just need something a bit different to get you through the day.

You'll be sad on a week saturday when I whip your punk ass! :D

[alansd]

KEEP TALKING CHUNKY

You dont know whats going to hit you if I do draw you next saturday.
I have a secret wepon....... my partner!

[Luncheon]

or even a secret weapon!

[richard murray]

Just take a couple of pork pies on to the court Alan, you could use them to help take his eye of the shuttle

[Luncheon]

Richard.....ever played the Wessex Satellite.

I seem to remember you playing someone down there at singles......and throwing a strop at the end of the second when you couldn't have a 5 minute break....not allowed at sats apparantly.....so you played whilst looking a little jaded.....sadly you lost the 3rd......then went up and lost "it" at the desk complaining that they wouldn't let you go to the loo when you asked to......it was very entertaining......one you being knackered and being denied a 5 minute break......then the strop at the desk....then the story about asking for the loo......I'll never forget it......a very amusing moment, especially for a young lad at one of his first few tournament watching other games!!!!

Needed a poo, it increased my weight. One of my finer moments

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

Thomas John is a top bloke.

But I don't want any silly chat about him being responsible for Morten Frost's success.

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

Needed a poo, it increased my weight. One of my finer moments

I was going to say you could maybe learn to waste 5 mins..... there are many ways.

However if you needed a poo there is not many ways round this, bar dropping shorts and anchor in the service judge's bucket, which might not go down to well.

[alansd]

Dont think anyone was saying he was responsible for it just that he coached him so perhaps helped a bit.
Billybob country boy is just looking for a fight!!

And we must remember ladybird that you know things that none of the rest of us do.

:rolleyes:

[Billy bothered]

That's my Boy Chosen one point exactly. I would hardly call giving frost a knock before his Wimbledon tournament coaching Alan would you agree. If that is the case I go one better as I have coached Hoyer larsen olympic champion. Had a knock with anyway but lets not put little Tomas John in the same league as Morten thankyou.
I think all this talk on here Alan has gone to your head old boy but if you get in to the Wimbledon how times have changed!!!!!especially if you can't beat Gilbert.
Point dealt with

[alansd]

Not at all chosen one, just adding my tuppence worth

[Billy bothered]

Judging by all your posts lets call it a round figure of more like billions Alan and for what you say we all woukld assume you were the All England Champion you were saying Tomas John has coached!!!!!

[alansd]

Fair enough on the number of posts but its more like adding my tuppence to many different things.
I have never claimed to be a particularly good player either if you look through what I have said, I play for fun try to improve and to enjoy it. Have no ambitions above my station.

[Hillbilly boy]

whos playin in this tournament boys, anyone have any ideas?winners?might come watch and have some fun with the fat one, teach some respect, squeal piggy!

rumour has it alan boy that yo training partner gilbert is the other all england champion little john has coached?

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

when did you start training with jiblet ladybird?

[alansd]

Train on and off with him for maybe about 6 or 9 months.
Basically whenever we can get courts.

[Billy bothered]

O my god Alan, you were not kidding when you said you were coached by the best and Gilbert goes to Thomas john too.
Must be a quality session with all those "up up in in down down up in in come on come on move man just do it do what I say man"

O well that's it then Gilbert for the nationals next year then folks as he is trained by an All England knock up winner!!!!!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

who wins ?

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

so you must know powderpuff?

whats he like in the flesh?

big and buff?

[Hillbilly boy]

i like them big and buff boy. now walk around like a pig boy, im gonna teach yo a lesson!squeal piggy!

[Billy bothered]

I think he said Chris Gilbert (Surrey) no (kent) no (Middlesex) wins but god knows why if that's what he plays like at the nationals.

[alansd]

I didnt say he was the best there is, but the best there is avaliable to me. There are some right muppets taking money off of people for standing about chatting to them for half an hour! There is one other person I would go to but she seems busy so stick with what is helping at the moment.

[Billy bothered]

Good for you Alan I can't wait to see the results so what tournament you in next then so al of us can see how you are getting on ?

[Hillbilly boy]

so yo doubting little john, an all england champion trainer boy? yo have little trust in yo coach boy, show some respect now boy before i skin yo like a pig!

[alansd]

Cant say I have ever examined him too much, only met him a couple of times!
You keep you imagination going with whatever you want though.
As I said, I imagine Chris would beat me but we have never played seriously


so you must know powderpuff?

whats he like in the flesh?

big and buff?

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

the chosen one will take you under his coaching wing, but you better be prepared to dig.

I only accepts bangkok bhat as an acceptable form of currency.

also the first lesson is free, but then i will have to start charging you.

[richard murray]

are you going to drill him?

[Admiral]

Chosen One....you only accept Bhat...I never took you for a Bhatty Boy!!

That Morton Frost geezer was a right see you next Tuesday!!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

the chosen one does not belive in drills.

drills do not prepare you for battle.

ladybird will do multishuttle with razor tipped shuttles, errors will be catastropic!!

[richard murray]

perhaps if he wore a kilt on court?

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

could make losing at danish singles a little more painful for him though?

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

Chosen One....you only accept Bhat...I never took you for a Bhatty Boy!!

That Morton Frost geezer was a right see you next Tuesday!!

That Morton Frost geezer once admitted to me that cheating was ok if you get away with it!

[Billy bothered]

cheating on his wife or his line calls?

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

cheating on his wife or his line calls?

Is the Chosen One a cheat, for sleeping with married women?

[alansd]

Depends if they are married to you

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

How could I be a cheat for sleeping with a woman married to me?

[richard murray]

Becuase she is also married to Alan, sneeky

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

Now, now Tricky, I was very very drunk..... not as drunk as I maybe was with the pittard, but still very very drunk.

But still my question is.... Am I a cheat for sleeping with Alans wife, or is she the cheat.... or is it all ok because ladybird was filming it all?

[bigfoot]

I used to hit with Dave Eddy before my knees gave up Bigfoot.

Alan I don't seem to remember us having an argument just a conversation and you said your coach Tomas John had coached All England Winners.

I then asked the question who were these players ?

As I am neither drunk or stupid I assume you are trying to dodge the question. As you seem to be on here quite a bit!!!!! sad or out of work I don't know which it is strange not to answer a question that I am sure you know the answer to.

I've heard of Dave Eddy but didn't know he was a coach.

I don't know how good his coaching is but has he coached any All England champs? we've established Tom John hasn't properly

Or any National champs for that matter? (I think Tom John can claim Julia Mann and Aamir Ghaffar as national champs)

Is Dave Eddy the guy that won the All England some time ago?

[richard murray]

yes, doesnt he coach at Birmingham Uni?

[Badboy]

yes, and was the team manager for the world university's championships I believe.

[richard murray]

yes, doent he coach at Birmingham Uni?

I am presuming he coaches Richard Wrigley, if you compared the results Gilbert used to beat Wrigley.
Not anymore, massive gap, could be the coaches?

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

1970 he got a bronze in the europeans mixed
1968 he got a silver in the european gents

David Eddy that is.

[bigfoot]

i'm not sure about how much skill and technique Tom can give a player, and he may well run people like headless chickens...but I think he can give you that extra push if thats what you need

it seemed to be for Julia.

Before Toby went to Bath, and when he first started emerging as a strong player, it was with Tom that he was training.

I think the players that are with him are under no illusion about what he can offer them - they obviously think that that kind of training is what they require.

I would be interested to know what kind of training Dave Eddy does - is he more technical then?

[Woody]

Dave Eddy is the main person for the British Universities Team's and is based at Birmingham University.

He is also I believe the Chair of the Elite Play Board at Badminton England.

[Markymark]

Dave Eddy is the main person for the British Universities Team's and is based at Birmingham University.

He is also I believe the Chair of the Elite Play Board at Badminton England.

And was formally reprimanded by BUSA for his behaviour during the Scotland v. England match during BUGs 2003. Exciting day!!! :D

[alansd]

yes, doent he coach at Birmingham Uni?

I am presuming he coaches Richard Wrigley, if you compared the results Gilbert used to beat Wrigley.
Not anymore, massive gap, could be the coaches?

To be honest Chris and I train with Tom once a week at most but we cant always get courts due to the other coaches monopolising the courts so we have maybe had10-15 sessions in the last 9 months as opposed to most work that the guys you mention like wrigley do. I am sure he was working with a coach for several sessions a week. I played him almost a year ago and would like to play him again to see the progress I have made but you cant blame a coach for the poor progress of the likes of myself. He also coaches the england cells twice a week so if you would like to be critical use the players that have talent and the time to train properly to judge a coach by instead of a piss head like myself.
Is it just me or does billy country boy sound a lot like wolfie?

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

Hill Billy sounds a bit like Foghorn Leghorn....

"I Said Boy....."

:D

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

"You're doing a lot of choppin' boy, but no chips are flyin'."

[Hillbilly boy]

like i said boy, who is playing this tournament then? who are the top ones?

squeal piggy!

[alansd]

I am playing the doubles, a reserve for the singles but wouldnt class myself as one of the top ones!!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

No mixed this time Alan?

Or has kimmy burst her dinghy boat and can't make it over?

[kimboshay]

no no chosen one, i have lost one of the oars so wud only end up goin in a circle! much like i do on a badminton court

[alansd]

No No

Kimmy has been called up on international duty!
Just the doubles but am looking forward to it

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

When did Kimmy get in the French team?

Well done by the way!

[alansd]

I heard some stories about kimmy today

Island games 2 or 3 years ago!!
Will you be about next week chosen one?

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

the chosen one might be about....

why do you ask?

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

also.... get on the old private message system with the kimmy stories alan!!

[alansd]

just curious if you will reveal yourself
Kimmy knows what I am talkign about I am sure

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

do you think it would be safe for the chosen one to reveal himself?

[alansd]

not reveal but perhaps unmask is a better phrase.
Not so many double meanings!!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

touche!!

:D

[alansd]

keep your touche out of this!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

anyway less about me touche!!

back on topic!

do you think it would be safe for the chosen one to unmask himself?

[alansd]

I wont tell anyone

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

hmmmmmm now should i trust you here alan?

we all know how low you can get!

(at your own admission!)

[redkingjoe]

anyway less about me touche!!

back on topic!

do you think it would be safe for the chosen one to unmask himself?

don't be too worried...you're in bangkok...the worst thing is someone send you a bomb in the mail/email

[redkingjoe]

do you think it would be safe for the chosen one to reveal himself?


just curious if you will reveal yourself
Kimmy knows what I am talkign about I am sure

cors,

seriously speaking, if you do not reveal your goodself, how can the lovely pretty sexy kimmy get a "real" in-touch with you? there will never be a real communication...it's only persona...in a forum like this, it's a mask talk to another mask

i expect that you will eventually reveal your goodself because of her....shall we start a poll?

back to topic, Wimbledon Challenger?

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

yes back on topic....!!

kimmy can't make it over..... she's on international duty.

:(

[kimboshay]

[redkingjoe]

haha some nice banter there!!

alan dont go breakin the chosen ones unritten rules.......you have dun it before, u gota cum up with sum new stuff!!!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

thats what they call "carefully edited"

:D

[redkingjoe]

thats what they call "carefully edited"

:D

i hope ss wouldn't edit my post no matter how cafefully it'll be done

[FutureChamp]

What number reserve are you then Alan? History dictates that at least 5 people will probably pull out....

[alansd]

Number 7 but to be honest I wont be gutted if I dont get in the singles. I will be there anyway as I live pretty close by so if I get in fair enough if not I will save myself for the doubles.
After slagging off the sussex lot I will probably get in and get spanked by one of them!!

[Hillbilly boy]

now darn boy that would be funny!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

yep, i was wondering if gjsims was taking offence at you saying sussex were rank rotten, or that you felt you could get in the first team!!

whats worse?

:)

[Admiral]

HillBilly.....Don't you go eyeballing The Admiral this weekend...!!

[FutureChamp]

So how is the training going Admiral?

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

[FutureChamp]

Not too well....the Admiral picked up an injury over the weekend...!!

Moving up that reserve list Alan!!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

do we have a link future?

:)

[alansd]

I think he meant because of the admirals injury!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

You not a little dissapointed that the Admiral is higher up the list than you Alan?

(anyone found this link yet?)

[alansd]

Not in the slightest

I know the admiral doesnt have many years left in him so best to humour the old boy when he can still get about a bit!

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

what about the side bets with kimmy?

is that singles showdown ever going to happen or do you think kimmy deliberately sabotaged her dinghy to avoid playing you?

Lost my oar!!! The Chosen One has never heard such an excuse!!

[kimboshay]

the bet will happen in easter at the guernsey open chosen one!!! bets are open now!

my oar is now fixed....so i am prepared for international duty at the weekend:D

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

Thats my girl Kimmy!!!

I never gave up faith in you!!

Take that oar on court with you and give ladybird a spanking with it!!!

[alansd]

You have no chance kimmy, stick to playing obiwan, less chance of a thrashing infront of all your island buddies then.
Speaking of which. Was speaking to someone on saturday and hearing stories about the Island games a year or two ago. Dirty Dirty girl

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

[kimboshay]

[David69]

Where EXACTLY did you lose that oar Kimmy?

[kimboshay]

never lost my oar, just broke it! twice now....and it ahsnt recoverd well from that last spanking the chosen one demanded he had!

so looks like my dinghy will be going in circles this weekend

[Billy bothered]

Hi evryone I am back,

I did like that post that alan put on the other day about the sussex team. Made me chuckle slightly when he basically said that he wished he lived in sussex as he would probably get in to the first team. You do live in a very strange world don't you alan.
I am slightly confused though as one minute you say you are crap and then the next minute you are saying you could get into a first team ?
Can you explain alan as sussex first team are not as bad as you make out certainly not as bad as to put you in anyway.
o and if it makes you feel better I can also type like Hill Billy Squell piggy come on boy don't go eye balling me now am I the same person.
If you think that then don't what ever you do rush off to be a detective in the police now.
get it

[Hillbilly boy]

i know what yo mean bothered EY EY

[Billy bothered]

in fact the way Hill Billy speaks it could be any one from scotland

[Hillbilly boy]

POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

[Badboy]

I think tooting is more likely then scotland...

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

billy and billy.... keep it up.

[Billy bothered]

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

:D

[Admiral]

To cheer you up this morning!!!!

[Admiral]

Don't panic I'm sure he's seen it all before!!

[Luncheon]

how'd I get caught up in this banter!
Thats not my Mum.....maybe a distant family member I met once.....but she did in fact say one thing.......that you're skills in the bedroom are the same as your badminton skills........long gone....and questionable about how good they were!

What time you on Ad's? Not sure I can be bothered to be up at Wimbledon for 10am, just to see you lose....but you can leave my winnings at reception!

[Admiral]

What do they say Lunhmeat....it's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all..!!

[Billy bothered]

Hello everyone..

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

Boo !!

[Billy bothered]

Boo 2 u too

[Admiral]

Anyone know the draw....just want to stay away from Manny Tripp....he's on fire at the moment!!

[Billy bothered]

If there's a few pull outs you gotta hope you got alan really admiral and there won't be any oxygen needed in that game just to sit back down have a pint and look for the next round and hope it's another one like that.

[alansd]

Billy the abuse only really works on people that think they are better than they are.
The admiral already tried to get me to play him for 20quid a set and I politley told him to get to f@ck

[ObiWan]

Anyone know the draw....just want to stay away from Manny Tripp....he's on fire at the moment!!


Admiral,they dare not publish the draw...........everyone in your section might withdraw with a mysterious'spinal'
injury!!:)
