Battlebus Commander


Opinionated Wind Bag |
I am typing this quietly as the keyboard is mak'in one one hell o a din this morning, I do believe that I am here and have made it to work, just looked in the mirror to make sure and it was even worse than normal sight !
My recollections of last night :-
4:30 arrive at bar (Hud tae buy a drink on arrival)
4:50 Cr Card arrives - another drink was forced upon me
then ma roond
then Tommy the photographer arrives - more drink
Later on
Vera gets the girls together for a meeting
The rest of us VIP's were behind the screens in the adjoining room next door, hearing what was happening.
Vera read out a fax from UEFA telling us that they increased the size of the top flight ladies football from 16 to 20 team which means we were not having a play off against Czech.
The bubbly was spraying all over the place ! ! !
Let the party commence.
They gave us drink vouchers for 6 each, so as ye do we said that Sacks & Dianne were at the toilets - so that was another 12 doon the tail for starters.
Now these exec's - Jack McGinn etc were at the next table and none of them obviously knew what to do with the vouchers, they all disappeared leaving them sitting on their table - WELL, what else wis a mean't to do ?
Vera did say that she was not going to another job - she was going back to Holland with Bert (Hubby). I would just like to say that it is really disappointing to see her go, she was one of the best and will be sadly missed.

I can't even recall Mary Doll sitting on ma knee at 23:42 but the digi cam must be correct.
I do recall the Happy Hooligans and We're on the march wi Vera's army - seem to recall the lassies liked that one.
Did we finish the vouchers ?
My brain is telling me that it needs a hair o ra dug, and I'm sitting here looking at the Auld Clachan at Foontainbridge, but I do huv tae drive home at 12 so I'll nae bother.
Gutted that we we're no gaun tae Prague, but well done the lassies.
Photos will doon loaded loaded / or uploaded or whit ever the hell I do wi thum when I get hame later.
NOW the important bit, I was having a chat wi Jack Ma Gin re Faroes / Iceland - he said we were only getting a few hundred tix for each - so I gave him my STC no. and said mak sure I am on the list !
I was quizzin him re future friendlies and he said Feb next year, there was Itlay and somebody else in the frame ! but could not remember who. It does sound like an away trip somewhere ..... hopefully they could play the Czech ladies team as we might huv a chanc o winning.
Here endeth war an peace !
More may come to mind in the next few days/ weeks / months / years etc etc
Reckon ther will no be much work done this morning !

Battlebus Commander my head still hurts. What a magic night. It was really good of the SFA to allow us numpies to be there.
Your power of recall is amazing, after about 9 o'clock mine's is a bit fuzzy! When I got home I fell asleep on top of my kip fully clothed much to the annoyance of Mary Doll. I'm on the dishes all week.
I thought it was really good of the lassies to come over to speak to us and tell us how much they appreciated us being there in Wales. Christ they are a wild bunch are they no BBC?
I seem to remember you and I dancing with them all under the TSTA flag and the look on your face said it all big man. I do believe you were in heaven!
Anyway ya bit git I still say you nicked my autographs but we'll no fecht ower it as I got them to sign again later when they were blitzed and they put some real funnies on the sheet.
Gutted about Prague but lets hope they take on board your suggestion about planning a game to coincide with the big team. It surely can't be that difficult to organise a friendly in say Lithuania?
BBC I reckon at one point last night you were the proud owner of 88 beer vouchers. I am happy to report that by the end of the night we scoffed the lot! It was just as well we took ownership of Sacks and Dianne's share. When are they getting married for real after their virtual weddingon the bus to Wales?
We had the virtual bus, well this time they were the virtual alchies.
I've just run off my photos and some of them are not bad. Mary Doll says she minds sitting on yer knee for the photo but said ye were a crap ventriloquist!
Cheers

Good photos Tom. Superb that we looked sober in them, when we of course know the truth.
Mines will be on our website sometime tomorrow I think. Our Web guy Big Craig is just back his holidays.
Have you dried out yet? I have...only just.
