ThetfordCanary 0 Posted August 17, 2008 That was not Shola you saw but Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. But before you all get the wrong idea he was asked by one of the fans if he was signing for us and he said NO. Apparently he was in the stands doing a spying job for Cardiff ready for next week. Several fans did get his autograph. It was talked about on Radio Norfolk after the match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Time to go Delia 0 Posted August 17, 2008 Why would he be spying for Cardiff , thought he had a big falling out with them and he is hardly likely to tell somebody in the street he was signing for us , i do feel that this is the type of cheap option we will get fobbed off with .

norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted August 18, 2008 If Hasslebaink does sign how much will cost to get his name on a shirt?I would not be suprised at all if he did sign. Yes he is old and has put on some weight, but he still has skill and more importantly knows where the back of the net is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Camuldonum 0 Posted August 18, 2008 [quote user="Yelverton Yella"]Cam,I do so enjoy your posts. I have this image of you sitting in an old leather chair in front of a desk piled high with cuttings and reference books with an overflowing ashtray and a neglected Senior Service sending out forlorn smoke signals...You are monitoring two computer screens showing message boards from three football clubs whilst talking into an old-fashioned ''phone and doing your best to set up the next exclusive story involving a junior minister, a footballer and the leading lady from a West End show...Having concluded the deal for your exclusive, you sigh with satisfaction, top up your glass of the finest single malt and shout to her upstairs ''That''s another ten grand in the bank! Now, how are you getting on with that story about the warthog and the Ipswich dignitary?''I''m sure the reality is nothing like the fiction but, there again, most people posting on here notice a distinct blurring of the two![/quote]Sadly, the reality is less although we have worked hard on a good David Kelly story (remember him?), the penguin inspecting the Norwegian Army was ours (we may have led the Royal Guard on a little in this, but I digress) and we got away with (last week) "Top Cop Jailed Paedo''s but then raped ME!" (Hull). (As usual, it was close to Boothferry Road).The last time we went anywhere near Hull was for Windass who I note was just a sub on Saturday (that''s about it, I think, in the Premier League but he''ll get a job with the club at the end of it).A quirky thing we do have in common with the past is that we have an open coal fire in the office and on the coldest days of the Winter it is brought into action and is usually roaring away well before the staff come in - the orginal Times Newspaper editorial had that as well before the days of Murdoch. They also had a Silver Service restaurant for the staff which we don''t have.Did you know The Sun employ a full time Butler? They do, but not for the full time journalistic oiks.Only for the CEO and Directors. He''s always in full morning or evening dress and very nice he looks, too. Charming chap.Headline:"COUNCILLORS SWANKY LUNCHES COST £80,000 A YEAR." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who knows. Different and better game in those days, I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yellow hammer 0 Posted August 18, 2008 PS: Morris On, as we say in the English Folk Dance and Song Society.(For fifteen years, Bagman for the Thaxted Morris Men - now that''s an idea for half time entertainment (or not, as the case may be).We''ve done Norfolk tours you know - generous lot you are outside the pub as I hit them over the head with a balloon (not allowed by Health and Safety to use a pig''s bladder anymore although I stay "blacked up" - sorry everyone). Record takings at Holt (not surprising, we were virtually outside Bakers and Larners).Morris on and in football, too!Well you know, Cal, that "you should try everything in life once, except for incest and Morris Dancing" -Sir Arthur Bax (I thinik)Perhaps someone should inform our friends down the A140?
