I can't take much more of this...

[shrimper]

... when's the first pre-season friendly again?

I think I have CSSD*

I've been snappy with the kids, grumpy with Mrs Shrimper and the cat has spotted the signs and given me a very wide berth these last few days.

It wasn't so pronounced last weekend but it's really kicked in now.

Can anyone offer any help? Any remedy?

Laudanum generally works for me

[Hodgie]

[Mark S]

My eldest was in a tournament last weekend and has another on June the 6th & 7th.

God knows after that

Go to the driving range at Heysham Golf Club , borrow a demo driver off Ryan and put your frustration into knocking 100 golf balls as far as you can , once you,ve hit a few past the 50 yard marker you'll feel much better .

Or take the mattress off your bed, put it up against the wall and kick and punch the
living f@!k out of it, until your completely knackered and fall down crying into the carpet,
or try Laudanum

Wearing my Morecambe sweatshirt to Wembley on Monday. It's a similar blue to the 'claret & blue' that the missus will be cheering on.

Then four days later, the fast stuff that fills a couple of weeks during the closed season, as McGuinness & co fly around the Island.

Then three weeks later, head off to China for a three week tour, including witnessing the longest total eclipse of the 21st century.

Then return at the end of July, ready for the new season.

Easy.

Take a trip to a good restaurant, enjoy a good meal with a bottle of Grand Cru (85,86),
a Cuban cigar and contemplate which new car you'll buy tomorrow.

World 20/20 cup in June
Lancashire going for the Championship.
The Ashes.
After that I will be ready for our 3rd season in the league.

[Christies Child]

I've found that hiding behind bushes works for me......memories!

as McGuinness & co fly around the Island.

He was in here at the weekend in preperation - can't possibly tell you what he bought

Glad his 38' foot motorhome cleared the gate!

Good luck John

p.s. Prizefighter on the box tonight - should make up for the lack of footy - Maybe Jamie Carragher is the surprise guest?

[shrimper]

Aah, thanks for reminding me. Love those events.

I saw, on TV, Sam Sexton (heavyweight winner this year, from Norwich) beat Martin Rogan (last year's winner, from Belfast) over in Belfast in the Commonwealth title fight last week. Good scrap that.

[quote="shrimper"]Aah, thanks for reminding me. Love those events.

My money is on Dean Francis with "Buster" Keaton as an outsider.

[shrimper]

I like the fast-starting Darren Corbett's odds in this, think I'll nip to Hill's on my way home.

[P/T Indie]

Get all jobs done my Mrs always pesters me about (that will take all summer)

Go to the touring cars

Go walking in the lakes a few weekends.

Have a nice sunny afternoon at the cricket drinking beer.

Start to brew my first ever batch of home brew which will include a number of brewing and tasting sessions.

Organise the Mrs birthday party


I don't know how I find the time to get to the football

[RedRedWine1]

Cricket and Rugby League should satisfy the sporting taste buds over the summer.

C'mon The Cherry & Whites! Challenge cup final up for grabs.

[heysham_mfc]

I am off to Wigan v Portsmouth on sunday

[John L]

Can you not get to Anfield on Sunday, Glen, to watch your other team?

[shrimper]

Our tickets sold out weeks ago to season ticket holders and members.

Going camping with the family anyway so looks like I'll miss Keano scoring the winner.

Aah, thanks for reminding me. Love those events.

My money is on Dean Francis with "Buster" Keaton as an outsider.

Aaaaargh! Buster (16/1) KO'd Francis, the 1/9 favourite, in the 1st bout. Unfortunately when he got to the final having won the semi he was knackered

In the semi.
Francis beat Simpson in the first bout when Buster beat Bruce Scott. I share your frustration, though. My Corbett was odds-on to beat McKenzie but got too cocky and was caught by the eventual winner. I was counting my winnings!

[marky No.1]

Oh yes, I remember now Francis romped through his first bout

Made up for my loss with the greyhounds on SS2 - landed a 55/1 forecast

[shrimper]

Worst of it was I hurriedly opened a Sky account for the first time on screen to put a saver bet on McKenzie after the first round when Corbett was big odds-on; did it, then couldn't find anywhere where they were taking bets on Prizefighter! It was showing buttons for dogs and football and some cricket game but no Prizefighter - the thing that was being shown live!

There was a phone number but by the time I'd finished messing about my lad was sparked!
