Due to a shed clearance I have a Hoover Compact 300 Flymo electric lawnmower which is surplus to requirements. It has been used for 3 of its 4 years of age and is in good order. It could probably do with a new blade but these are easily available. It's free to the first Club member who contacts me.

:: Small correction to Jonny Moore's pre game ritual.
User Image...By Jordan McKee
15/03/2010

Sorry Whytey, but i must correct ur assessment of Jonny's pre-game ritual... u forgot to mention that although he only uses GHDs for his hair... (which he assures us all are "just great for gettin that wispy look") that to save money, probably to buy more moisturiser, he shares his sister's pair... o to be a fly on the wall when they have a girly bitch fight in the morning over who uses them first!!!

:: Metrosexuality
User Image...By Peter Whyte
11/03/2010

In emotional scenes, before the seconds game last week, Mocky passed on his crown to Jonny Moore. Jonny now has claim to the title of metrosexual of the year and has the changing spot in front of the mirror reserved for him. Mocky still tries his best but could not compete with Jonny's grooming regime of:

Look in mirror
Dye hair (purple)
Look in mirror
Apply John Frieda heat protection serum
Look in mirror
Straighten hair (GHD's only)
Look in mirror
Apply John Frieda hairspray for fly away control
Look in mirror
Moisturise
Look in mirror
Ready to play hockey
Look in mirror

Jonny is ready to defend his title against all comers as long as they promise not ruffle his hair.

:: Award
User Image...By Andrew Coates
10/03/2010

Unfortunately Andy there has always been, unbelievably, a "hand size" qualification for "metrosexual" international hockey matches which runs alongside the "stick size ring" test we are so used to. Even trying to qualify Mocky through grandparentage for the "International Clowns" team failed as his feet were too small.

On behalf of the Shy Teds I would like to say what an unjust news article! If we had not won who would it have been if I remember right Andy Forrest and Steven McGimpseys teams were 2nd and 3rd both of whom used mobile phones heavily therefore the masses would still be upset at the result and by masses I mean old people who dont know how to make full use of their phones haha! Also I would like to say I forgot to take my prize home at the table quiz (outside influences my have played a part in this) and spent a large part of my evening selling ballots so I am clearly innocent all round!!

Would the first person sent off have been Jimmy P with one of his slightly mistimed sliding tackles. And the other person Mocky for his calm, reasoned reaction to a controversial umpiring decision. Both would have been playing around the time.

Which 2 members of NDHC were suspended for life from playing hockey in Ulster for unacceptable behaviour? The incident was against Bangor on 15th May 1906. The guilty parties were not allowed to play or umpire, and no club could play with them or against them, under threat of suspension. The Chronicle did not specify what happened, nor name the parties.

I recieved this from the Cedar founation:

The Cedar Foundation is a local charity in Belfast working with disabled people. We are organising an event called ZORBING in which we are looking for teams of 8+ to enter.
ZORBING is a new event where you are inside an inflatable ball. The ball then rolls down hill and the experience only finishes when you reach the bottom. This event is brand new to Northern Ireland and so is very exciting for all involved.
We are not officially launching the event until the 1st of June, however we are giving sports clubs like you a head start in getting involved. The fee to participate in this event is normally £20 to register and a further £80 sponsorship, however we will give those who register early a special offer of half price registration. We do require that the form is returned in this case no later than the 19th of June.

If you think that you would be interested in participating in this event please could you give us a call on 02890-666188

Now, now kids. Enough of this petty football squabbling. Sam is just upset that those little blue scallies stole the wheels of the Liverpool bus in the fourth round while they let the Manchester bus get to Wembley before doing the same. And that, as Rafa would say, is FACT. I find it is always best to keep the abuse to the end of the season when all the trophies are making their way to Old Trafford. Clarkie, Brucey - be patient and let the scousers get all giddy and excited. Its just nice to see them making a challenge for the title after all these years....and years....and years...

Jimmy,

I think you have failed to take into account that certain "top managers" may have difficulty reading. For example when you write "On Friday night the U15 boys will play Banbridge in the semi-final of the U15 cup IN BANBRIDGE" some "top managers" still cannot work out where the game is being played.

Don't you just love bitching. You are next Pyper.
