I witnessed Leeg dealing with and struggling to change a £20 note he was given. It was as pathetic as Emile's effort today!

Title: Re: New H&V out
Post by: Legion on December 03, 2011, 10:13:56 PM: I couldn't feel my fingers so I was wearing gloves which made handling change rather difficult. The very attractive lady to my left was extremely helpful indeed.
Title: Re: New H&V out
Post by: PeterWithesShin on December 03, 2011, 10:20:49 PM: Actually my sister wasn't being helpful Lee, she was trying to lift a few free issues!

" Unlucky today Emile with that shot"
" Ya It was a bit cold today so I was wearing boxing gloves on my feet so my precision shooting was not at its usual best "

Even my pointing at Leeg with a giant foam finger didn't seem to help

Post by: The Laughing Policeman on December 04, 2011, 03:43:56 PM: Got mine from the bloke near the church. Tried to blag a freebie for Christmas, but he was having none of it, tight sod. :P
Title: Re: New H&V out
Post by: Louzie0 on December 05, 2011, 12:42:08 AM: Mine dropped onto the doormat yesterday and was read by teatime. Entertaining and thought-provoking (especially the article about how much various managers had to spend and who they bought, and the one about Terry Weir) but I enjoyed the whole thing. Thanks!

Post by: Kingthing on December 05, 2011, 10:09:05 PM: Is there a Theme developing with the previous two front covers or did you just need to use the roll of film up whilst walking down Witton Lane?
Title: Re: New H&V out
Post by: dave.woodhall on December 05, 2011, 10:11:40 PM: Thought it would make a change to have some shots of matchday rather than the usual player shots/Private Eye rip-offs.

Post by: Kingthing on December 05, 2011, 10:31:06 PM: ....or are you just running out of pictures of players with smiles on their faces?

There must be a few pictures around of players, coaches and a manager laughing all the way to the bank.
