Big thank you for letting a Shandy Drinking Southern Monkey come and play with all you Northern Monkeys on Sunday. Thoroughly enjoyed the day and special prop's to all Dusted Munkey - Jon, JonT, Mark and Toni (bustin out some Zen shiznit at 13!!!!!!! put me down for a Toni Timmy in about three years time), for letting me guest for em!. Also God, my mum's, your mum's, all me Ho's, all your ho's. Snoop, Dre, 50 Cent, Public Enemy, Chuck D, Nas, Ice Cube, Ice T, Ice Tray, Ice Ice Baby, DMX, Big E, 2-Pac (R.I.P.) and Tim Westwood (the latter lot for helping me get there in an 1hr and 10 mins). Special mention to the Clan for showing us exactly how to play field 3, although we couldn't do it in the 52 seconds, we used all them positive waves in our following game on that field. I last saw Wee-Man heading to the pawn shop with the Clan's Trophy after the presentation muttering something about Ho's and Tennants, anyone seen him yet????
On the subjective tip, I felt that the standard of Sportsmanship was extremely high and was impressed that despite some hard aggressive games all players shook hands before and then maximum prop's after each game. Special thanks to RDX (top blokes), Troggs (bling bling kit), K5 (done me on the break), Bad Touch Mayhem (first ever Dusted Max), Warlords (crazy run throughs) etc for playing f'kin hard but fair games.
In my opinion, the Marshalling was good, and despite enforcing the rule book more stringently (especially bounce and multiple layers), acted in a fair and reasonable fashion. I think we all see calls that sometimes could go either way but in our games we couldn't dispute their calls (mind you I don't have the cajohonnes or inclination to marshall.....ever).
One other point, I think it would be good to see more Southern Teams play some of this series. Although we have the fledgling M25, there really isn't much excuse not to play at places like Ancaster when teams are making the trip from Scotland, Wales etc. Although saying that, the local pub's may not have enough Blue Nun, Cocktail Umbrella's and Babycham's for our post game drink-ups. And fitting those 4 extra locking wheel nuts to each alloy on me motor was a total waste of time.
